I was contacted recently to find out if I would be interested in hosting a giveaway sponsored by ARK, a fashion retailer primarily based in the north of England. Since I am London-based and wasn’t familiar with the shop, I took a look at their site.
Alongside some very cute things by exciting new brands like Hearts & Bows and Brat & Suzie (their t-shirts are lovely!), they also stock old favourites such as Fred Perry, Motel, Jeepers Peepers and Ruby Rocks.
I ended up picking not one, but two very wearable items that I thought would suit everyone, regardless of what size or style-set you side with.

The first part of the prize are these gorgeous Tortoiseshell Audrey Sunglasses by Jeepers Peepers worth £12.99. Styled on a vintage, classic shape, these were my absolute favorite sunnies of the bunch available at Ark

And secondly, this ultra-cute vintage style Flower Polka Dot scarf by Loud worth £9.99. This scarf is huge and is perfect for the summer/autumn transition. Wear it around your neck, on your head, as a sarong or maybe even do a Frassy if you're feeling brave?


So, to enter this lovely package (with probably a few extras thrown in!) all you have to do is comment on this post with your email address/blog link. Easy as pie.
