LOOK OF THE DAY: Paisley Pastel Throwback

Bad hair day. Hmph.

I could come up with something clever about how today's look came about, but it is pretty much down to my giant mop and how today its just gone, well, a bit cray.

Exhibit A:

In the past I would weep endlessly about not having sleek, wash-and-go style locks like my younger brother and my WHOLE FAMILY (lets face it, I am probably adopted), but you know what, it's about time I had learned to embrace the volume - even if I do look a bit like an electrocuted Chewbacca.

So today, I pieced together a look from the era for huge hair - the 80's.

Hey, if it worked for SJP, Cindy and Madonna - big hair, don't care.

THE COACHELLA EDIT: Reported from... London

This weekend there's only been one thing on everyone's minds: Coachella. Whether you have seen pics plastered all over the various social networks, have been hopelessly wishing you were basking in the Palm Desert sun (exhibit A = me) or if you were actually one of those revellers lucky enough to be there, you must know what I mean. So sadly, here I am, sitting next to the potted miniature palm tree in my garden dwelling over the missed festival wardrobe-buying opportunity.

That aside, the weekend has brought along some serious Instagramming from bloggers like Leandra Medine (@manrepeller), Chiara Ferragni (@ChiaraFerragni), Aimee Song (@songofstyle) via Rachel Zoe as well as some of my other style stalkees Rita Ora and Whitney Port - Just to name a few.

Fortunately the sun has peeked out over London today so (not feeling too sorry for myself), I've managed to put together two days worth of Coachella-inspired looks that I would have packed into my suitcase for the event.
