Apologies, as always, for yet another prolonged absence for the tides have changed and there has been an inevitable need for serious introspection and adjustments in the realm of daily career affairs … but! I promise there are lovely things in store and a few {more} exciting collaborations that I am absolutely bursting to share with all of you! 

Lovely readers, at the inception of my blog I had no idea that my little space on the web would become a portal to the world - and resultantly become a gravitating force to connect with other beautifully stylish souls across the globe. To my beloved friend and most loyal advocate of my blog Pree, the talented founder of preebrulee.com, I could not be more thrilled about the launch of your clothing line, which is an impeccably curated extension of her perfect accessories line. If you have not already perused the cornucopia of sartorial delights, do frolic along here and treat yourself to something that you will adore forever. 

Hoping your week ahead is absolutely scintillating! 

Much love, Mandy xx

Upon the acquisition of a new abode and the subsequent arrangements of one's wardrobe, have come to realise how frugally I utilise colour in my sartorial routines and consequently am planning to add a burst of colour this season starting with bold cerise rouge hues flung over existing white basics...

And you too can add colour to your wardrobe as the lovely people at 6KS are ever so generously giving this gorgeous knit to one of my lovely readers. As always, the conditions are simple and is open worldwide:

Much love, Mandy.  xx

Giveaway : the little black (and white) dress.

The lovely people at Sheinside.com are currently collaborating with my blog and giving away this beautiful dress to one of my stylish readers. I ordered one of these for myself as I was immediately allured to the classic silhouette, the monochrome palette and the ease at which it can segue from a languorous brunch (think feline sunglasses and black suede pumps) to the office (with tights and demure kitten heels). 

How to enter:

(1) Follow my blog on Bloglovin' or Google Friend Connect or Facebook

(2) Register yourself on sheinside.com here (literally takes two seconds!)

(3) Comment on this post with your name and email address

The competition closes on May 15 and is open to my international readers too. Winner will be chosen from a random number generator. Good luck! 

Much love, Mandy. xx
