Style Update: The floral dress has been found!

Three dozen emails I received, asking about this dress after I posted a picture of it on Instagram last week. Seems no one could find it online. We weren't sure if it had sold out and been taken down or was just plain playing mysterious. This morning, I have good news. Not only have I found the dress in question, I've found it in a wicked good sale. Ladies and gents, this is your perfect dress for summer weddings, picnics, garden parties and more. It's been my favorite frock of the summer and it's going away for safe keeping when the winter months approach so that it will be able to survive another summer of wear and tear. I love a find you can't seem to wear enough. This is pure style love on my part.  Shop The Look: ASOS Floral Dress (on sale), ASOS Flamingo Earrings (on sale), Bynzz...

A Primark Brush you HAVE to own

Silicone Topped Brush - Primark £1.50 I feel like I've harped on way too much about this goddam brush the past week or so so feel free to tell me to cool it. BUT I REALLY LIKE IT AND THINK ITS AWESOME OK. COOL? But it's honestly been somewhat of a eureka moment for me and I am chuffed with myself so let me gloat. Think of this as a solid product recommendation though -  I mentioned in a video, tweeted it and Instagrammed Storied (is that what we're calling it now??) about it, and from someone who rarely raves about things thats big news. I feel like I've talked about it so much that I have to make a point that its not sponsored. But heyyy Primark if you're reading this. Eyyy. So, Basically it's a weird awkward looking brush is a rubber flat top which I think looks really bloody strange....

10 happy summer Maine moments

Every summer, for two weeks, I go to Maine. This is a constant in my life. Maine is my summer routine. My family has had a house on the coast since the 1920s, so I thought it was high time I passed on some juicy tidbits on what makes for happy moments while in residence. A most magnificent coastline deserves such focus. These are my top ten Maine vacation rituals. Some are mine and mine alone, others are passed down from past generations past. A few will make you hungry, but I'm hoping each and every one will convince you that a Maine getaway needs to be in your future.  1. I wake to watch the cinematic Maine sunrise, at least once. 2. I fill the house with the sweet smell of baked goods. There is something about the mix of cinnamon and the sea air that is just too good not to be...

Get Started: tips on starting a blog, from the right technology to fighting fear

This month marks the seventh anniversary of FFG's existence. I like to think of it as lucky seven, really, as each and every day that I get to call this crazy world of mine a "job" is another day where I'm feeling pretty lucky indeed. But, as I've said before, and I'll say again and again, it's not all been smooth sailing. There have been ups and downs, crazy times and hard times. But there's a bigger story here and it's about getting started and keeping the momentum. To tell the story, and to hopefully provide some inspiration to those of you that are sitting here thinking, "how can I move forward in starting a blog or a social entity," I've teamed up with Currys PC World to share my "get started" adventure. In truth, this is a collaboration that is near and dear to my heart as I believe...

The Flamingo clutch you need in your life right now!

I feel as if this is sort of a public service announcement for those of you that are crazy about flamingos. It should be said, I am a part of that particular population. Flamingos are most definitely the hottest bird in fashion. Maybe it's the long supermodel like legs or the bright pink feathers that have us all head over heels for these lovelies. Who knows, but the trend has no end in sight. The latest must have for flamingo fashion collectors come courtesy of a British legend - John Lewis. Yes, this flamingo clutch is a John Lewis original and it's coming to the table with a very reasonable price tag. Get thee to John Lewis immediately. This is summer fashion at it's best and most affordable. ...

Style Update: Total Texture

I've become a student of texture over the past year. Call me obsessed but I love soft silks, sumptuous suedes and scaly snakeskin. And yes, this whole ensemble is a bit of an ode to texture, combining all of the aforementioned favourites. What I'm wearing: Marks & Spencer parachute dress, Marks & Spencer Suede reversible jacket, Aspinal of London clutch, Empire State Finery Necklace  ...
