Over the knee boots ...where to find and how to wear!

One of the key trends of the season is over the knee boots , which is a bit of a scary prospect especially if you are over thirty. However, there are many ways to incorporate the new boots into your wardrobe and I believe they will become a firm favourite.I would suggest investing in some good quality boots though, as the not so well made ones tend to slouch...and this is not the look we are going for....

They key is to avoid the seedy look, you know Pretty Woman style!
I like the combination of the faux fur and long boots and I have to admit grey suede is the best option in my opinion as black is a bit harsh....keep it classy!


 If you do go for black boots go for a cute outfit with a retro nod or keep it super classy like Olivia Palermo!

 A sweater dress is another winning combination and I really like the difference in textures between the suede and wool...the fluffier the better..

Reiss looks

I ahve to say that Reiss is and has been for a long time a favourite brand that bridges the gap between high street and designer. The brand offers quality directional items that will become staples in your wardrobe. I know this because some of my items I have had for ten years and still fall back on when stuck in a rut. This season does not disapoint ...!I love the shearling grey coat and the gold party dress!!







May the force be with you!

I am sure that nay of you that have little boys are well aware of the Star Wars craze at the moment . My litlle A is obsessed with Lego Star Wars and usually asks for the rarest ones possible!
Of course besides the toys , we also love the clothes so today I have a bit of Star Wars fashion for your little ones and some inspiration for mum as well!

from Massimo Dutti, I love this sweater! so easy tro wear and a great price for the quality. I like the round neck as I am not a fan of roll necks, too itchy and get make up marks all over them...

  Well we are all spent up...and nice and warm!!

Dress like Kendall Jenner for less!!


It obviously helps to have  a super wealthy family, a super model career and designers begging you to wear your stuff, but Kendall has a relaxed sophisticated style based on basics that is easy to attain on a budget. Here are some looks and how to create them.

School style!!

 

Stylish school gear

I find it really hard to find stylish stuff for my 6 year old boy to wear to school.I want things that look good wash well and don't coat too much as they invariably don't last that long ! Personally , I prefer joggers to jeans as I find them more comfortable and practical! I love Nike although the range for this age group isn't great and you can't go wrong with Zara kids!

Here are some bits me and A bought this week !
