Minty Mondays: Matching Heels and Sneaks

Spring is finally here and what better way to celebrate then freshening up your wardrobe with some pastel mint vibes.

Going to work 5 days a week you can get stuck in the same rotation of grey and black making you feel like winter is still in your wardrobe. Time to shake it up and bring some fresh colour into you repertoire. Adidas stan smiths have brought out a fresh new range of pastel sneakers ranging from frozen green to pastel pink. Intricate details and a cool finish these are an excellent addition to put a spring in your step and spring into your wardrobe.


Changing from sneakers to heels is made easy when you stick to the same colours as you know it will match.

My ASOS mint heels add a simple yet effective insert of colour into my black suit. If you are like me and your wardrobe is a mix of monochrome then brightening up for the seasons can be simply left to your accessories.


Matching your sneaks to your heels means you can dash about town to all your meetings, commute without damaging your knees, get in the car easily while placing your heels in your bag and transition from boardroom coffees to girls and cocktails without having to dash home to change.

Its all about using your precious time effectively and not feeling a pack horse every time you know you’re meeting friends after work.



We are busy ladies these days. Managing your time effectively so you can be the best #GIRLBOSS while also balancing out that time for social and relaxation.

Keep it fresh this spring and treat yourself to some matching heels and sneaks! Go on… you deserve it!

Workwear Favourites: Pastel Pink


I am loving Pastels as we move closer to spring.

I have never been a fan of the gray scale that working in The City/Office often leads you to wearing.

As a firm wearer of black – pairing a pastel colour just brings an outfit a splash of freshness.

Its feminine, smart, fresh and stylish.


Here are my Pastel favourites:
(Perfect for the office and post work catch ups)

Cute, chic and feminine these sneakers can be slipped on to wear on your commute to work. If you work in a corporate office you can slip these under your desk until the end of day then slip them back on to casual up your business outfit if meeting friends after work.
Paired with black trousers or a cute dress you can transform your outfit without having to bring another bag of clothes.

Helene Berman Coat

This coat is perfect for keeping you warm while we transition to Spring. The fresh pastel pink brings elegance to your outfit while being very smart. You could use this to smarten up a more casual outfit if you’re heading to the theatre or out for dinner post work.

ASOS PROPELLOR Lace Up Pointed Heels

Just love these!


If you are anything like me and find that black is your go to colour – mixing in a pastel can really transform you.

A flash of lipstick, a spritz of a floral perfume and pastel accessory can add that femininity to a harsh black outfit.

Today’s Clean Meal – Greek yoghurt, Pecans, Blueberries and Agave nectar

Hello folks! sorry I have not written in a while…I have been globe trotting in Santorini – which is where I discovered this delightful Breakfast…

We stayed in this beautiful B&B over looking the Ocean.

Each morning Kula – our on site hostess would put together the most beautiful continental breakfast which included Greek yoghurt, pecans and honey – all local. It was creamy, delicious and went down like a treat. Nothing processed and no nasties.

Two days before travelling to Santorini I discovered through allergy testing that I am allergic to wheat. All my life I have felt funny after eating things like pasta – not getting that sensation of comfort most people got. Now I know why I can now make the right choices to nourish my body – and well – I started with this… (i swapped the honey for agave for those who prefer it)

All you need is:

  • 1 tub of 0% Greek Yoghurt
  • 1 punnet of Blueberries
  • Drizzle of Agave nectar
  • handful of pecans

It is pure delicious and great for morning or afternoon treat.

Today’s Style – Beauty of Simplicity

I have just bought my new house in Brixton and now I am taking the time to turn this baby into my dream home. Over the years I have found that keeping things simple is the fundamental back bone to my life. It affects every area from Love, Friendships, Money, Work and Style.

Keeping with this thread I discovered the wonderful sealoe.se who have the most beautiful collection of prints which will be gracing my bedroom walls.

Here is my inspiration:
