Oh I wish I could bring you all some floaty, summery outfits, but our British summer just isn’t playing ball. I mean come on, July – scarf? sweater? jacket? I have a lot of summer dresses that aren’t getting worn at the moment and I’m desperate for some sun!
Happy Tuesday lovely people :))

I love this casual chic look-fabulous! And do you have a tutorial for your nails!?

Thanks Miss R… the nails are simply done by the nail polish itself, which is magnetic! The instructions are on the bottle: you do one coat then wait for it to dry. Then as soon as you've painted a second coat on each nail, you hold the magnet on the bottle over it and it creates the effect… it's pretty spectacular – easiest nail effects ever! (Most brands seem to be making magnetic polish now but I've found Nails Inc to be the best) C x
So cute!!! Love your nails, as always. I always find that I'm commenting about your nails…your outfit looks beautiful too!

You look so cute! I love those glasses. I hope the weather improves for you – it doesn't feel like summer when you have to wear jeans and jackets, does it?!
I'm down near Santa Barbara and it was really foggy and cold the last few days! What in the world! PS I think this outfit is one of my favorite's from this week's WIWW. Feel free to stop by my blog anytime- have a great Thursday!

I feel ya- SF Summers are just as brutal as Winter. And I'm so jealous of everyone who is in their summery outfits 🙁 Le sigh.
Great outfit. You look so chic yet casual!

Oh, your nails are great. Love that.
And don't worry, Oregon hasn't been much better for summer weather. I mean no blazers but still not hot weather. Hopefully this weekend will warm up.
I loooooove the look of blazers and boyfriend style jeans – it looks so effortless. Unfortunately its been 100+ degrees every day for weeks so not as many blazers in my future 🙁
I like your nail polish design. It's very cool.
You are more than welcome to come and visit me in Cyprus. I guarantee you'll get your fill of summer in one afternoon (: I would give anything to wear a sweater and a scarf right now, let alone any as cute as what you put together! nicely done!

I'd trade you a day of that for our super hot summer here in Utah! Cute outfit and love your red hair!
Cute shoes!! New follower from WWW. hope to get a follow back!
Thanks Pamela, I'll pop over! Welcome! xxx
Ohhhh would that I could trade our 4-day forecast of 108 degree temps for a day cool enough to wear a JACKET AND SCARF. Your fingernails? DOPE. That black ring? NEED. You? ADORABLE.
:)) bless you Shannan, thank you xoxo
im so with you, its depressing isnt it? i look at the weather forecast probably 30 times a day, hoping! but news is that from tomorrow it will at least be dry! fingers crossed cos i am struggling big time with what to wear lately! Love this look, geeky is my fav! :)xxx

It's nice to see an outfit that is not summery every now and then. I love this look and I think I will steal it from you as soon as the weather starts to cool down 🙂
I don't know how you can leave the house not wearing socks – that's how cold it is in Denmark (we're almost neighbors!), but I do love your shoes! In fact I love this whole outfit, the colours are great, and give a summer feel, and one doesn't even notice that you're in fact wearing a sweater and a scarf! In July!
Gosh I thought we were the only country in Europe NOT having a heatwave, Kaffe – I feel for you!! Thanks hon xoxo
Hello, There!
I just found your blog by way of a comment you made on my friend Whitley's blog, Queen City Style. I love the concept, the wit, and the images! Well Done!

Hi Melissa (love your royal name ;)… thanks for stopping by and the lovely comments! C x
Tell me about it! I feel like i'm constantly chilly when i'm out, stuck in Spring Transeasonal wear rather then summer wear!
Still i love this look sweetie! I love how you've styled the casual basics with the smarter pieces creating such a beautiful and chic balance! I am especially loving those wedges!! 🙂
Take care, Daniella xox
Beautiful look! The sweater and scarf are such a nice combination!

I love cool, grey weather. I would be happy to completely bypass summer and head straight from spring to autumn. Want to do a house trade next summer?

House trade – are you kidding???? I'm planning the holiday in my head already, Adrienne!! 😉 Thanks my sweet xo

I feel like we could use a bit of your weather here in the Midwest US–it's been a record-breakingly hot summer so far! Anyway, I'm a new reader and follower–glad I found you (through your gorgeous EBEW outfit)! I love your summer layers!
Thanks so much, Shea – let me know your blog url (your name doesn't take me there) so I can drop by yours! Welcome! C x
Hang in there Catherine! You do look wonderful – the shoes are so great, as is the scarf and boyfriend jeans (I am looking for similars right now). The sun will come out . . . tomorrow : >
Please can we have some of your sun, Patti… pleeeeease?? Thanks sweetie! C x
Your hair looks super cute today! And those glasses are superb.
