How to shop fast & look great with a Ruby Smith.

Fatema_yasmine_ruby_red_dress
When having to shop with limited time it is best to limit your options. I only had 2 hours to buy a dress to wear for James and Claire's wedding, now known as Mr and Mrs Smith. 
I was feeling a little bloated (my post wedding weight) so I wanted something that would cover me up and squeeze everything into place. 
 
Limitation one: Sleeves and full length
 
This is my first non-Desi wedding and it was safe to assume that I didn't need to wear all the colors of the rainbow and the contents of a jewellery shop
 
Limitation two: No jewellery + accessories  
 
I would be travelling all the way up to Bath (2 hour drive) so it had to be transport easy

My Summer Fling: Mr Straw Hats.

Straw_hat

Every summer we all have an item we can't live without, our summer romance. This year for me, it's my Straw Hat. Great for jazzing up any outfit and wonderful at concealing bad hair days.

The black detail band around the hat, adds character and depth. The shape is casual so the hat can be warn with almost any daytime outfit, it looks especially great with flip flops and plimsolls.
 
The shapes to look for are Boater, Panama and Trilby

I am off to the beach on Sunday with a few friends and though this hat is perfect for City dwelling, I fear it will fail on the beach. The brim is not wide enough to protect the whole face from the sun.
 
However everyday that I am not on the beach, you will find me walking around with this little cutie.
 
The hat in the photo I am wearing was bought in London, from a Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Shop.
