You can’t tell, but it’s raining. The glorious sunshine of the last few days well and truly chased away…

Which is why I am super pleased to be jumping on a plane later this week for a warmer, sunnier European clime. Ever organised, I put together my travel outfit returning to some old favourites for the journey. I’m slowly working this biker jacket (not real leather, btw) into my wardrobe. It’s a slightly stronger look than I would usually go for, but lightening up with white cotton, white leather All Stars and a light striped scarf is just the kind of relaxed but cool look I like. The top is an old H&M one (I also have a blue and white striped version) and the scarf is an old birthday present I’ve had stashed away but since I lost my superfine grey cashmere scarf from Delhi (SOB!) I needed a travel replacement and hey presto, I think I’ve found it. The jeans are a fine tight stretch but very comfortable and the All Stars, well, let’s just say they’ve seen me through music festivals, Caribbean holidays and long treks through Joshua Tree in LA. And the bag was a complete blow-out, even with a voucher, but one I’ve never regretted as I have used it practically every day since the little one has come along, packing its light nylon frame with everything under the sun, which of course, makes it the perfect travel bag. What’s In My Handbag – Travel Edition coming soon.

I’m wearing: Biker jacket by Next, cotton top by H&M (old), petite jeans by New Look, Converse All Stars, Jerome Dreyfuss tote
