Dream Dress - Telago by Ted Baker

Perfectly princess-worthy and immaculately powder pink, this is a dream dress that will probably live (and stay) in my dreams....

After all, where on earth would I wear a dress like this!

Flowers in the summer

Sometimes you just feel the need for flowers. My favourite place in London to get (very reasonable) fresh flowers, is Columbia Road Flower Market (closest tube: Hoxton). You get a real feel for the the East London market and it is a good idea to go late on a Sunday around 2pm to get the best deals. Not too long ago I picked up two bunches of beautiful fresh peonies for £5!

With a mum as a wedding flower designer (www.paperwhiteflowers.co.uk), I have grown up with a real passion for flowers and do believe that they can truly lift your spirit!
