In The Details

Sundays are designed for laziness. Snoozing in bed 'til 11, pottering around the house, snacking, cuddling the cat. Throw in a quick trip to see family and a delivery of logs for the fire and you have my day in a nutshell.

I'm pretty sure my cat's not bothered if I have matching socks on, and the log man couldn't care less if I'm wearing lipstick. So although I do like to get out of my PJs on a Sunday, it's definitely not a day for leather trousers or stack heels. Well, unless it's Fashion Week.

Luckily, there are a few simple things in my fashion repertoire that take a lazy Sunday outfit into slightly more stylish territory. A cute Peter Pan collar peeking out from an acid yellow cardigan, a tiny handmade brooch and a pop of fuchsia lipstick give my jeans and boots a much-needed boost.

I'm also wearing new specs here, courtesy of Specsavers. I visited their Tottenham Court Road branch for an eye test (only a tiny change in my left eye - high five for healthy eyes!) and was treated to these Jasper Conran frames. I'm very particular about my glasses - if you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you'll know I have a pair of simple black Ralph Lauren frames and rarely deviate from them. But change is good every once in a while, and I'm loving this bigger, bolder style.

How have you spent your Sunday? Still in your PJs or up-and-at-em?

  10. My Sundays are usually spent in my PJs pottering round the house or catching up on TV on the sofa. However today, I've actually been up and dressed for the majority of the day, getting myself organised! :) I love the yellow cardi and the collar looks so cute just peeking over the top :) emmerliejay x

  11. Usually my Sundays are spent getting up, getting pretty, making my girls pretty, going to church, going out to breakfast and then coming home to do chores.

    Today my oldest is sick though, so we slept until almost 11, we are still in jammies. She's watching TV, littlest is using her ipad and I am blogging ... and reading blogs. :)

    A relaxed kinda sunday

  34. Please oh please tell me how you attach your extensions without the clips showing? My hair is thin and a gust of wind could easily part it and reveal the clips. Just imagine walking through some of those ultra-windy tube tunnels...
