Style * Star Struck

One of the trends that has some staying power (other than pineapples, which I thought would last a season – who knew) is stars. Following on from white hearts, which ultimately became a bit too shabby chic for my taste; stars have an ethereal, magical quality that evokes joy.

Style * Mustang

Can I imagine turning (growling) up at Tesco for my click n’ collect on a rainy day?
