An easy casual look that doesn't require too much effort.

I love these two looks from the lastest free people catalogue.

1) grungy denim jacket and sheer polka dot dress.

2) sixty's style white crochet dress with peter pan collar and a beaten up leather jacket.

The perfect combination of pretty and tough.

I've been following this girl's blog 'Dora's fur' for ages - she has such great style. I love how she pairs floaty skirts with little tops and toughens up outfits with leather jackets and clompy boots. Georgia has a great eye for vintage and always seems to be out and about having a great time. She also makes me want to grow my hair as long as possible!

Think I am a little bit in love with Adele! Just watched her live Royal Albert Hall performance on TV and was completely blown away. I listen to her albums all the time but it was so nice to see just how lovely and down-to-earth she is behind the scenes and to understand the stories that inspired some of her songs. Her voice is pure power and effortlessness. And she has a little dachshund which completely won me over! A true british talent. Xx
