If an Indian summer comes in the autumn, what name do you give a summer that arrives in spring…and disappears?

The gardens need the rain..but I was so looking forward to the easy living of summer dresses.

Which has been a brilliant discovery of older years and has resulted in a serious, but sensible shrinking of my wardrobe.

There’s no need to think, a dress is the perfect capsule wardrobe in itself.

All effort can go into beautiful, stand out jewellery, like all of these earrings by Finery London.

Fun, Sassy and succulent.  Now all we need is the sun.

Happy birthday..

It’s Finery’s first birthday – it seems hardly believable they’ve been around for such a short time.

It’s such a great label that fills a gap in the market you never thought was there. Until they started.

On the one side it’s reflective, mild mannered and be-spectacled.

On the other, clever, en pointe, different.

This is a label that joins all the dots.

And does the best trousers. Stalk them.

There’s a new label on the cyber-street..Finery London, led by Caren Downe who’s high street pedigree and gene pool includes buying director at Top Shop and ASOS.

She left ASOS disillusioned with the emphasis on commerciality rather than creativity…and has returned to fill what she sees as the glaring gap in the market: Women that know their style and want something more considered in the £40 – £250 price bracket, that magical hybrid of excellent design and affordable prices – and she’s certainly talking my language…

It’s a range cleverly jigsawed together – there’s a sense of calm and knowing, rare in the heart of the retail storm, with warm, welcoming air that gently blows you across the threshold..

The shoes are incredible..

With a rich current of ideas running under simple shapes, that cunning mixture of cool statements and strong balls.

Forensically clear with a sense of attentive stillness, but still authentic and heartfelt..I’ll be following this story with interest..
