Lust Have | Moody & Farrell Hats

Eloise Moody's hat designs are the most exquisite works of art and they're also supremely wearable. I could never put any of these beauties back in their pretty hat boxes.

These feather headbands are just so pretty. They're handmade in Atlanta, Georgia and available from 'LiveInStyle' on Etsy. I think the peacock in me would have to go for the orange one - I love the mix of patterns in the feathers. Which one would you choose?

Lust Have | Skirt Dresses

Without exception the first button I'll always click on a fashion website will be 'dresses'. For me it's the perfect way to tell if I'll like what's on offer. When I discovered US boutique Ruche, I was bowled over by their choice of gorgeous dresses, and I fell in love with these skirt dresses straight away. I love the idea of carrying off effortless daytime dressing, without even having to think about tucking in a blouse and hoiking everything into place twenty times a day!

Beautiful Boutique | Sugarbird, Yorkshire

Emma and Lucy Curtis are sisters
 from East Yorkshire who recently followed their dreams to set up their beautiful lifestyle boutique, Sugarbird, in Beverley.



As mums to 3 young children each, both Lucy and Emma knew firsthand just how difficult it could be to grab some time for yourself. So they put their heads together and imagined a shop where it would be possible to buy a dress for that christening you are going to next week, a present for your friend’s birthday and a little something for the host of the dinner party you are going to at the weekend. The result is that Sugarbird has it all - from the best boutique collections to beautiful prints by Missemai and cosmetics from Paul & Joe! And to top it off, men shopping with their families can enjoy a coffee and paper, whilst the children lounge on a big bean bag to watch a movie! These girls really have thought of everything!
