I love a short week, after only returning back to the office on Wednesday and now the weekend is here, Leanora getting into the school we wanted I am literally floating on cloud nine, but I would not have made it through the week without a few new necessities to help me through and I just had to share with you and you never know a few may inspire you for the weekend.

Polka Dot
It's no secret I've gone dress crazy of late, I mean look at this weather and humidity can you blame me! Now a little comeback into my wardrobe is the polka dot, the polka dot trend has come back firmly in to my wardrobe and I am happy as Larry about it, I can wear it to work, running mummy errands (great for hiding toddler sticky fingers) to brunch with friends, no matter your age everyone looks good in polka dots am I right, check out a few my new in and fave polka dots pieces.

New book
Ok, so I am a little gutted I did not do a May book review but do not worry this June I'll have a good one for you next week. A book that I could not resist sharing with you straight away is my latest read which I am still chomping through is 'The Colour Of Bee Larkhams Murder'. It is about a boy Jasper, he is no ordinary boy, he sees things differently to you and me, he sees and hears it all in colour, colour that no one else can see or hear, until he discovers a new colour, the colour of murder of his neighbour! Was he there, did he do it, does he know who killed Bee!? Well, get reading guys cause I sure will be finishing this book by the weeks end to find out about Jasper's new colour of murder.
Foundation
I am not a major makeup person, never have been and quite frankly do not have the time, plus by the time I've got into the office after being on the tube, it mostly comes off. But I was on the hunt for something nice and light, step forward my new purchase Clinique's even better glow, it is perfect for the Spring Summer months, my skin looks refreshed, hydrated and evens out my skin tone.

Bag
My new favourite this week is the bag of the season, it is the must-have accessory for this Spring and Summer the 60s beaded bag! They are fun, kitsch, feminine and boy do they make a statement for all the right reasons, Instagram IT girls are parading them all over and no matter your age (me in my dirty 30s) it is an instant uplift to any outfit be it dressed up in a party dress or dressed down with mom jeans and a killer t-shirt.

Summer, summer time, summertime! Well Spring! Ah yes, we are finally here in the warmer months, which means dress season, time to shave those winter legs, get your golden glow on and fill your wardrobe with dresses galore.
Let's start off with this yellow beauty that I snapped up for a total bargain from H&M for less than £25! It is super gorgeous and so comfy and easy to wear, whilst I paired it with my favourite white linen shirt, to help cover my little protruding mumma tums, what can I say a girl likes to eat I'm a total sucker for doughnuts and the girls in the office are forever heading to Krispy Kremes for afternoon treats. I mean it would be rude of me to refuse, but i'm working on flattening out the little monster.

I wore this look with my sisters new Primark sunglasses which I stole and she is not getting back, thanks sis. These were also under £100 a steal at £3, I mean £3 for sunglasses you can not go wrong with a little primani love can you completed the look with my Next straw bag, now sold out but the neutral colour is still available completed with these glorious Monki pearl 2 strap slip on sandals. All really great and super affordable price points and quality of each piece is incredible and you will certainly get your more wear out of it despite the amazing price points.
There are so many incredible and cute dresses out there at the moment all under £100 and I have collated a few of my new favourites which I have lined up below for you, from linen to classics and few with a pop of colour to suit all shapes and sizes that can be worn now and even taken on holiday, you do not want to miss them so I suggest snapping them up quickly to not be disappointed as I am sure the will go quickly.
Let me know what you think and what are your favourites.

Miller Harris has opened my eyes to a new kind of a beauty. A beauty all stored in a darling bottle and a scent bursting with summer adventure all whilst getting, Lost In The City.
Last week a little package arrived at my door, it was a long hard day at work, looking after 14 venues 7 members of staff, a daughter, a cat and a sister who is now living with you is tough, but my worries were washed away by the arrival of a little package at my doorstep, a package from Miller Harris.

Scents are personal, we love what we love, we hate what we hate. It can always be hard picking a parfum for others, it is so personal, what I may love, you may hate and vice versa but Miller Harris, you cheeky devils you know what I love..... After all, I've been banging on about a particular scent that I crave, no, that I love, Geranium!
When seasons change so does my style and the same can be said for my parfum, the spring and summer months the scents I crave are something nice light and floral as opposed to Autumn and winter where I like something a little heavier and richer.
Shop the Collection
Rhubarb, Rose petals, Geranium embodies this parfum and all three scents I love, but infused together makes me feel like I am lost in the woods, chasing butterflies with Leanora on a bright sunny day. This parfum is far from heavy but nice and light and the fragrance lasts all day and survives my commute to work.
Lost In The City, is one of a trio from a new collection produced by the London Perfumer, Miller Harris, Lost In The City is in a collection inspired by urban foraging, the bottle is simple, but the packaging it came is so pretty, it even comes with a little-multicoloured stand you can store it in on your dressing table.
I styled a classic linen dress around this fragrance, as that what they both are classic pieces, no must-have pieces for the Spring and Summer months. Hair kept relaxed as well as makeup minimal, a simple gold watch and my circle straw bag of the moment with some white sandals that picked up from Primark, can you believe for £6.

Shop Linen Dresses
With warmer weather settling in and clear blue skies, one thing you can not live without this summer and need to invest in is a linen dress, it's light and airy and perfect especially for the long weekend ahead and beach days.
It is so important for me to find the right dress every summer after all summer sun and holidays is what we live for, this year for me it has to be the classic linen dress, neutrals, earthy tones, stripes and colours, short sleeves, long sleeves, to no sleeves, you name it I'll be wearing it dressed up and down with some new or should I say perfume that I got from Grastisfaction UK.
SHOP MY LOOK
Over the recent weeks, I've been investing in every style and colour linen dresses, they are perfect worn to work, weddings, the races, dressed down with trainers fitting for school runs and other parenting shenanigans or worn to brunch with sandals and statement earrings for Friday night after work drinks. It has become a new best friend, who never lets you down, makes you feel and look great and flatters those lumps and bumps, I'm always trying to cover up.
I wore this striped linen dress from mango who have an amazing range of cooling linen dresses, perfect to withstand the spring, summer months to a coffee date with my sister. It's a classic wardrobe staple and so easy to wear with some flats and a wicker bag which I am chuffed to say I got for £15 in Camden market, next stop a hagglers life for me in Morocco.
I like to go a size up with my linen dresses, pants and shirts, to give it a more relaxed easy-breezy look, after all, linen is supposed to be cooling and chic and easy to wear even though it can be a nightmare to iron. If you are looking to nip in a relaxed linen dress as I know they can look sack-like don't worry and good cinch-style wrap at the waist will leave it looking flattering and you stylish to a tee.
I have certainly found my season must have's, will linen dresses be yours?
