More sun, fun and burgers at The Exhibit, Balham

March 24, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 2 Comments

Yes, yes, the weather is still glorious. So, I popped on that bird print Primark midi skirt I was telling you about and got out there in the sunshine for some Tooting common-based fun and a big, fat burger at The Exhibit in Balham… The trees may be bare but the sun is warm The …

Enjoying the South London sun: Primark pleated skirt and The County Arms Wandsworth

March 24, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Yesterday really felt like the first day of spring. Warm sunshine, clear skies and half a cider in a pub beer garden. Bliss. After promising myself not to do any more Primark shopping hauls (most of the gear I gave away at the last clothes swap was Atmosphere branded), I fell for a £12 bird …

Katy Perry wears black watch by Ice-Watch in Part of Me video

March 23, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

Appazza, next Thursday (a day when I’m in-house all day and then manning the bar at my son’s school production), is the day when about 15 events I reeeeally want to go to take place. Buggeration indeed. One of the shindigs I’ve been invited to is for Ice-Watch, a Belgian brand producing chunky, funky timepieces. …

Spring sunshine brings the Motel Vintage skirt out

March 23, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Gadzooks kids – it’s hot out there! To celebrate the spring sunshine, I’ve busted out a floral skirt by Motel Vintage that I picked up in Topshop Oxford Circus a few weeks back. Didn’t think I’d be wearing so so soon, but there you go. Now, where’s the nearest beer garden….?

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, …

Cocktails, cakepops and MR PORTER

March 21, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Last night was a busy one. After pre-event drinks at The Criterion, I headed down to Mark’s Bar at Hix in Soho for the MR PORTER summer essentials launch party – before a swift beverage in The Old Coffee House (where a mouse was merrily running around the bar – no kidding) and a spot …

Madonna’s gone wild….

March 21, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Or has she? I’m in-house today, which means I have to wait until tonight to watch Madge wriggle and gyrate and (almost) get off with her backing dancers in the brand new video for Girl Gone Wild. Or at least, that’s what I imagine is going to happen. But – see how selfless I am? …

Mix and match with Tara Starlet

March 20, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

‘Tis the first day of spring today and I wanted to celebrate the fact by showing and telling these delish mix and match floral separates from Tara Starlet. There’s a definite Dolce & Gabbana vibe going down, and plenty of 50s pizzazz, but with prices starting at £40 they are deffo more affordable than their …

Zooey Deschanel emerald green tea dress and teal cardigan

March 19, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

Zooey Deschanel’s stylist did not disappoint in Friday’s episode of New Girl. Much as I loved the striped jumper she wore in the first half of the show, this week’s Jess post goes to her emerald green tea dress and teal cardigan. Just LOVED those colours together. The actual dress Zooey was wearing was the …
