Must-have collar necklaces

August 13, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

With post-Olympic gloom descending, I’ve spent most of today thinking about a) Damon Albarn (thanks to seeing Blur live in Hyde Park last night), b) holidays and c) collar necklaces. I saw a girl on the tube this morning y’see, wearing the cute pearl Peter Pan piece by Topshop with hair piled high, a black …

August 12, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Ooh you know you’ve been sprinkled with Uncle Walt’s magic when you end up wearing Minnie Mouse ears (say “cheers”). On Friday we made our maiden voyage to Disneyland Paris. OK, so I would have loved to spend my two precious days in that heavenly city up to my neck in boutique shopping and sophisticated …

June 23, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 12 Comments

I have one of my lovely readers to thank for turning me on to this dress. She messaged me this week with an urgent prom query; she had two dresses and needed advice on which one to wear. In the end, I advised her on the short, flapper-style dress she’d bought from Next. It was …

April 9, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Eliott may think I’m a loser (see above, tsk) but, man, we’ve had a grand holiday here in Turkey. It’s our last day today, *wail*, but I have a few more highlights to share before my normal UK-based blogging service is resumed; a trip to Bodrum castle, a very good cause I’d love you to …

Hop into spring at Peekaboo Vintage

March 22, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

It’s the Spring Hop at school this aft – probs the less said about that the better (think 130 screaming under-7s at a disco fuelled by veggie hotdogs and the promise of a chocolate bunny). To get my mind off the mayhem, I’m focusing instead on some of the glorious spring buys at Peekaboo Vintage, …

Pre-holiday panic

February 28, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

Question: who else is going on holiday at Easter? We booked our break last night and, on account of the Easter hols falling so early this year, I was traumatised by the “Innocent Smoothie style” marketing copy attached to the booking telling me that I only have 34 sleeps to go. 34 sleeps!

Pale and pastel denim: Are we in or out?

February 2, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 10 Comments

Appaza, the world has gone pastel-mad. I’ve been talking about them in various places for the last few weeks, but suddenly I feel a bit swamped by them. In defiance, I’m currently wearing a black horse print jumper over a blinding yellow flower print dress (a look I’m deeply loving – perhaps I’ll post a …
