Increasingly, as I am planning what to wear for work in the mornings I am not just planning an outfit that will be able to take me from a carefree commute to my desk……
I am having to use the weather app on my iPhone to gain insight into the ever-changing British weather, which seems to change on an hourly basis. But ever the optimist, I thought that I would engage in a little positive visualisation using Pinterest and imagine the perfect summer commute looks.

I’m back and ready for my Spring/Summer wardrobe refresh!
Having spent most of the winter months indoors writing MBA assignments and eating chocolate…. I am now ready to embrace warmer weather, lighter evenings and go shopping!!!
For inspiration I have created a Spring/Summer edit which captures some key SS15 trends, as well as some classics. I hope you like it….

Helena Morrissey is not your regular CEO, we have all read her amazing story, CEO of Newton Investment Management at 35 , happily married with 10 children…..
When you think about Helena Morrissey the phrase ‘I don’t know how she does it’ just does not even cut it.
Her commitment to gender equality is another admirable quality that endears her to professional women everywhere, particularly in her role as Chair of Opportunity Now and founder of the 30 % club. However, as well as being one of the most successful women in investment banking, Helena Morrissey is perhaps one of the most stylish, breaking away from corporate dress code stereotypes.
Helena is the perfect example of a woman who has a wardrobe as sharp as her mind.

A wardrobe fit for Olivia Pope?
‘It’s handled!’
Ok, let me let you in on a little secret, I want to be Olivia Pope…
Here is a woman who is not just razor sharp in the way she dresses, but also in the way she intelligently deals with multiple political crises.
Now let’s talk about that wardrobe….
Olivia has a number of great signature pieces which are must haves for our winter wardrobes, from the wrap coat to the elbow length glove. Nobody wears a statement jacket and wide leg trousers like Olivia when she is strutting towards the Oval talking into her cell at 100 mph, coffee and Prada tote in hand.
Extramarital affairs aside Olivia is pretty perfect (note to self, this is a fictional character!). Only time will tell whether Olivia and Fitz will end up living happily ever after, or succumb to one of Mellie’s many schemes. All I know is that Scandal is one of the best TV dramas of all time and Shonda Rhimes is a genius!
Here is my edit of all things Olivia, can you handle it?
