For those of you in the UK, how amazing is a 4-day weekend?! Although I intend to relax and unwind as much as possible, weddings will also be a theme of the next few days. Tom and I are attending a wedding in the Shire on Sunday (oh, I do love a good wedding), as well as sorting out details for our own nuptials, which are just 5.5 short months away. Sweet lord. Better get on that. How about you? Any exciting plans for the extended break? Are you as inspired as I am to paint some eggs in one of my favourite colour combos (see here) of pink and gold?

Now, Brooklyn is a tricky one. Sometimes, I have to say, she looks a hot mess. But when she gets it right, boy does she blow it out the water. Like here… how amazingly elegant does she look? Sleek in Stella, with a gold belt to add interest and simple hair to keep the dress the star of the show. As for my room of the week, the preppiness pulled at my heart strings. The combo of the grey door frames, white wainscoting and some cheeky ikat meant that I was a gonner:

I hope you have a lovely weekend whatever you’re doing and wherever you may be…

Maybe it’s because they’ve got a touch of the Blair Waldorf’s about them (please can we not mention Blair chosing Dan over Chuck last night, I can’t cope), but I am currently craving a bouclé jacket… specifically from Zara. The Spanish export is having another amazing season, and it’s almost impossible to go into that store these days without sitting on the floor having a tantrum of toddler proportions because I can’t have everything in there that I want. But top of the list is one of these Chanel-esque jackets. With that tricky ‘to-coat-or-not-to-coat’ period ahead, they are the perfect way to take you into summer, shiver-free:

All this gorgeous sunshine is making me crave a pop (or two) of neon… and my penchant for leather trousers is growing by the day:

{Tom Binns crystal necklace – £1,170 // Sandro sensation knitted sweater – £175 // Helmut Lang skinny leather trousers – £400 // Proenza Schouler neon snakeskin clutch – £1,220 // Jimmy Choo Cosmic suede pumps – £435}

It Girl, Fashionista, Muse, Girl about Town, whatever you want to call her, Olivia Palermo has it pretty sweet. Not only could she wear a hessian sack and make it look expensive, but her job is to travel the world and stay in the most fabulous hotels, attend glamourous parties, sit on the F-ROWs of whichever shows she chooses, and shop. Oh and she goes out with the equally genetically-blessed Johannes Huebl… which can’t be a huge strain on her, let’s be honest (please can they just get married already, can you imagine the wedding?).
So in homage to OP, here are some pics from the Lifestyle Mirror taken when she and Huebl took “refuge” from the paparazzi (poor lambs) in Paris’s Le Meurice hotel. I especially love the second photo down; they’re clearly thinking, “Look at how good we look, it’s hilarious!”. And if you want to feel a little bit nauseous, there’s a black and white video of them dancing in the woods. Like you do.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend, especially all the mums (like mine, who is a superstar). Every two months or so I like to compile a wish list of the things that have caught my eye online (see here, here & here), and my March must-haves include a look-a-like Céline bag (see here) at a fraction of the price, a sequin jacket that would glam up even the most casual of outfits and the latest from my favourite author. What is currently on your ‘most coveted’ list?
