I’m off!

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Boilersuit: £50, Asos. Bag: Sophie Hulme. Sandals: Birkenstock. Passport holder: Smythson. Large suitcase: Marks & Spencer (buy similar here). Smaller suitcase: Tripp at Debenhams (buy similar here)

Most of you will have seen from Instagram that I am out of the country. I am sunning myself in Nerja, Spain – I go pretty much every year, as much as I like adventure, sometimes it’s just nice to go somewhere you know and be truly relaxed.

It’s business as usual on the blog as I have scheduled some posts but come see me on Instagram and my newly started Snapchat (I have NO idea what I’m doing on it, so may be a laugh!) – username thefrugality.

Oh, and I got a lot of questions about my boilersuit at the airport (it’s sooooo comfy) – it’s £50 on Asos. I love it. It’s not as denim-my as it looks on the site, more of a brushed cotton but a great summer buy, nonetheless. I am also in love with my new Sophie Hulme cross-body bag – my one indulgence this month – I treated myself at my Fenwick event with the 20% discount – so it worked out at under £300 which sounds ridiculous but it is a good price for a designer bags these days. I did a carboot sale on the weekend making £500 from my old clothes, shoes and homewares so in fact it was (kind of) free. And I’ve almost got my cost per wear out of it within the first week!

    Love the look – but can you tell me if you can get in and out of the jumpsuit in the airplane loos??! I think they look so comfy for travelling but not sure how well I'd do in a confined space!!! 🙂

    I've bought this asos boilersuit but not worn it yet – you look fab in it!!! I wish I'd been at the car boot sale you were doing for some of your cast offs 🙂
