I'm not one of those people who can just throw a few things in a bag and go, I like to plan. Lets start with the shoes: One pair of trainers, one pair of nude-goes-with-everything heels, one pair of wedges, one pair of sandals and one pair of flip-flops. I nearly always end up sticking to sandals and flip-flops once I'm there, but I like to know I've got all the bases covered. The easiest and best way to pack shoes is using a plastic carrier bag. I usually line the bottom of my suitcase with shoes and then pack smaller items around them, leaving a relatively flat surface for the clothes to lie on. Converse trainers from BrandAlley The next staple is the little white dress - dressed up with wedges for the evening or down wit...

When I turned 24, I spent my birthday visiting a castle in Wales, and in the garden they had a butterfly house. It was honestly one of the most magical places I've ever stepped inside, the butterflies floated around lazily on soft currents of warm, tropical air and everywhere you looked there was colour, grace and beauty. The image of a butterfly just spells out spring/summer to me - so here are my picks of the best butterfly prints out there. (Clockwise from bottom left) Butterfly print dress - Yumi  £22.50 Butterfly print top - Oasis  £18 Body wash - Anna Sui (via ASOS ) £16 Watch - Olivia Burton (via Topshop ) £95 Butterfly print scarf - Oasis (via ASOS ) £16 Butterfly print cardigan - Warehouse  £40 Butterfly mesh top - Anthropologie  £68 Scent - Anna Sui (via ASOS ) £31

It's no secret that I am a bit of a swiftie. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to see her live in London. I'd been mooching round the city in the daytime, and had worn the dress below. It being the 'Red' tour though, everyone else at the concert was dressed to match the description (and accessorising with fairy lights!) ... Anyways I was bemoaning my lack of Taylor-appropriate attire to my sister, when she quite rightly pointed out that I hadn't missed the boat at all - I was wearing swifts.  So now I love this dress even more.  Here's how I dressed it up recently for a family meal out.

Here's short clip I filmed of Emeli Sande performing 'Next to Me' with Taylor Swift.

Did anyone see Taylor Swift at the MuchMusic Awards  the other week? If the rumours are true, then Ed Sheeran is a lucky man! She looked absolutely stunning in this Herve Leger bondage dress: And the high-street is all over this monochrome thing. I'm tempted to copy Taylor's look with these beauties: Mango £24.50   Warehouse £36.00   Kurt Geiger £65   Savvy Shopping: The warehouse dress is on sale too!
