No need to look shore side for a bailer whilst you put your feet up and think of maybe taking up sailing one day in Turkey in the calm seas. Would look equally stylish in the garden whilst sipping a G&T of an evening.

Pick of the Week
Given the sunshine landed on our shores and these fair isles are partial to heading to the water when anything pertaining to heat is ahoy; the pick this week is mainly for land lubbers who enjoy a sea view rather than being all hands on deck.

Pick of the Week
One thing will remain for a while on this blog and that is pick of the week. I was bombarded by people (mainly friends and acquaintances on Facebook & Twitter) who it seems rely on these little picks of mine. So I promised to keep them going.
Meanwhile Twisted Skirt is live and I will be posting on there soon. Clients first, my work second, is the pecking order.
And lo! The sun it appears and then goes away but guess what it really really wants to play now. Which means it really is time to thing SUMMER. This week I am going to stretch your purse strings by £12.50. Yes £12.50 to inject a bit of colour and zing.
It is quite simply the M&S fluro tee.
It comes in 4 colours - yellow, orange, pink and green. The reality is the t-shirt is much brighter than the image but that doesn't mean over powering. I've gone for pink but I put a client in yellow the other day. They are all delightful sorbets in my book.

Pick of the Week
Due to school holidays, the cold weather (oh please may it be over!) and pressing magazine deadlines I seem to be lurching from one pick to another.
Do not fret there will be post a foot which take you the reader in the direction of my new blog which is still underway.
Now I know the fashion world is all about the label de jour but one such fashion house is a quiet influencer of high street products, namely Chloe. I was sad to see Hannah MacGibbon go but now Clare Waight Keller is in place I haven't really noticed anything much to upset the aesthetics and direction of the fashion house.
One main point of influence have been the sandals which were adopted from the main collection a couple of years ago and flaunted by See by Chloe. Now this style of flat sandal is everywhere from Russell & Bromley to Topshop.
But it is Clarks that I am sending you all off to! Yes for £39.99 of your hard earned money you can flaunt your feet in the style credentials of the season - these almost flats

Available in white (which are my favourite) or black these Clarks Sharna Balcony sandals are a breeze to stomp the streets in.

Pick of the Week
Where to begin? I'm actually meant to be writing about bikinis today for a magazine and I don't have the strength to contemplate setting about this task based on the continuing cold. I mean come on is it worth banging on about S/S13 clothes on any level given the weather. In my wardrobe there hangs taunting me the brightest yellow trousers from Topshop Unique. It feels like I purchased them to hang as a wardrobe installation.
When it comes to picking something to purchase or wear I'm considering forgetting the idea of seasons and thinking purely in terms of something all year round. Which actually isn't that exciting although it is extremely practical given my best buys have been my thermals. Of which I am now considerably accomplished in how to create a look wearing them. However there is a longing, a longing to skip bare legged so this weeks pick is a skirt.
Toast's Tippi skirt says sunny days and skipping. It is a glorious mix of colour and whilst my other half might cough 'tablecloth' I think it says Provence, lavender fields, walking in Richmond Park, picnics, individuality all whilst skipping. All I need now is the film set.

High St Pick of the Week
Having a lovely little sojourn with tweeter and blogger teawithonesugarplease on Thursday night in the freezing cold was not only delightful because at last we met (yes social media is truly social) but Ms.Tea had on the most becoming cossack hat.
There are a number of cossack hats around in M&S and other stores but even though the temperature has risen I can't be bothered to hotfoot it to any store. Lazy days and shopping is satisfied by ASOS and the now reduced cossack hat from £16 to £12.
Do say Dr Zhivago, don't say Mariah Carey.

High St Pick of the Week
In some respects unless you have presents to get or are in dire need of a new party outfit or the heel of a trusted pair of shoes have broken - do you really want to shop now? I never set foot in a clothes shop after November until the end of January if I can help it.
My biggest worry in December is my love of all that glitters and sparkle, the shops are stacked to the rafters in delightful little numbers. I just want it all, hence the avoid. Then when it comes to sales and January I prefer to stay at home with a book or watch a film. I really do hibernate in January.
But enough of me - who by the way has been ultra busy this week, hence neglected blog soz - and back to the pick of the high street. Given there is so much to choose from it is hard to have a pick that is fully reflected of the offerings.
I think you will thank me for this truly versatile little number as it is getting really cold and this could be a useful clothing tool in the fight with Jack Frost.

It is the lovely colour, that suits all, for this time of year. It is easy to wear on show or hidden under dresses, jumpers and tops to keep you toasty. Better still, wear it at home with some silk pjs on, the top of the pyjamas open and you sipping a mug of hot chocolate whilst watching television - now that is an indulgent all round perfect December night you don't want to miss out on.

High Street Pick of the Week
The sun has got his hat on. Well he's certainly happy with the straw boater micro trend. Get one and picnic in the park with strawberries and ice cream. While you're at it raise a glass of Pimms to Mr Sun.
