Pick of the day!

A little pick me up in the week is always welcome and also it's pay day!!

The dress below is from Three Floor at Coggles, which is a great online store for savy fashio girls!
This is the dress that will see you through the party season. I love how demure but naughty it is at the same time and it looks a lot more expensive than it is .

Not one to be missed and I am sure it will be selling out quickly !

Shopping Saturday!Faux Fur, Sparkles and Olivia Palermo for Coast!

Hello, so the weekend is here again and so is Shopping Saturday.I don't actually like going shopping on a Saturday, as in going into an actual store, but there is nothing I like more than a nice cup of tea and some online shopping! On the plus , it also brightens up the week when the goodies arrive .
My love of faux fur is well known ( only faux fur, I have to stress!) and one of my favourite retailers is Reiss so imagine my joy to find the most gorgeous little faux fur jacket in my one of my favourite stores in favourite colour and .....it has my name!!!
Hello Alexia coat!

Reiss Alexia Faux Fur Coat here

The Alexia is also available in blue

Reiss Alexia faux fur coat in Ink here

I really like how they can be worn  in so many ways , and can be both funky and smart.A true investment in my book and you can be sure the cut and quality will be immaculate with Reiss.

With the coming of cold weather and the party season upon us I have started to think about evening outfits. I am quite lazy and usually wear jeans or very rarely a dress ( I really should make more of an effort ) I am not such a big fan of dress at least not on me , so I thought about trousers.Again , I don't have many pairs of smart trousers but I have found the perfect pair , by none other than Olivia Palermo and her collaboration with Coast.

Coast Lovato Jacquard Trousers here.

The cut is really flattering and can be dressed up or down depending on how posh the occasion is!

Winner!

So that's my budget for the week...what do you think?

Happy shopping!

Windy days and chunky knits

Hello, this is one of my first winter outfit posts as the weather has  drastically changed and today was a wonderfully blustery moody day .Of course this was the perfect excuse to get out my chunky knitted jumper which is so cosy , I don't even need a coat. I am also a big fan of hats an I love this wool one that cannot for the life of me remember where I got it. Pink isn't really my colour but I love this blush colour and it is universally flattering. We headed for the sea of course, Choppy waters have such a calming effect on me which is quite strange I know!

I hope you enjoyed my gloomy day!!

Tartan, checks, plaid...whatever you call it, it's big news!

There has been arevival of tartan this season , and I for one are very glad. I have always been fond of this print although it can all go very wrong very quickly with plaid.There is a fine line that must never be crossed , because besides Braveheart, old ladies thick wool skirt  and school uniforms and kinky outfits  are intrinsically linked to tartan. The look I  want to achieve is a  cool, rock punk retro vibe ,more old school London meets Vivienne Westwood ( who by the way is the queen of tartan). I have of course found some great options so that you can dip your toes or immerse yourseves into the tartan trend!

I love how many different options are available

1.Zara check dress here/2.Top Shop skirt here/3.Whistles Nico Check coat here/4.Chiara Ferragni  slippers at Selfridges here /5. Altuzarra dress at Nordstrom here/6.Marni Socks at Matchesfashion.com here/7. French Connection Winter Birch Jacket (on sale) here/8. Moncler Shearling Checked coat at Matchesfashion.com here/ 9. Top Shop leather gloves here/

I especially love the socks...far too nice to hide!

Weekend splurge!

I have been very bad with keeping up with my post this week, but for a good reason. I am the proud aunt of the most gorgeous baby niece!
Lets not forget it' s Saturday and we have all worked hard and what better way to pamper ourselves than indulging in a little luxury.The item I have my eye on today is worth every penny as far as I am concerned.Sheepskin is big this season, however,  for me this is not a trend and I believe a beautiful sheepskin jacket will be a timeless addition to your wardrobe.Whistles, the UK brand is one of my favourites as it perfectly bridges the gap between designer and high street and offers luxury to the more discerning shopper. I never bore of my Whistles clothes and right now I am crushing on this beautiful jacket.

Whistles Mix Fur Sheepskin jacket here

I love how it is not the traditional bulky sheepskin style , it really is too beautiful for words (this crush is getting embarassing now!)

I am also moving over to the dark side a bit with their Limited Edition Cosmo coat, although I will have to save a bit for this one ( or slap it on a credit card).

Whistles Cosmo coat in navy here
Wow! it is also reversible so can be worn two ways

So yoy get two coats for one, that will justify it!

Have a great weekend!

My litle man has his birthday so I will be busy with parties and celebrations and new babies!

How wonderful!!

Shopping Saturday!

Yes! It's the weekend again and since the weather is getting cooler I think we should all treat ourselves to some cosy new items ...this week has been so tiring I think I deserve it!

I love faux fur coats and although I have a few , for the last few years I have beeen telling myself I 'm going to get a leopard print one , but I always chicken out...but now I am going to take the plunge with this gorgeous one from TOPSHOP.

Top Shop Leopard print coat here

And sticking with the fur theme I cannot resist TOPSHOP shoes, and these lovelies are so quirky that I just love them...they will definitely put a smile on your face...even their name does ...hello HAIRY HARRY fur ankle boots..

I think you either love them or hate them...I looove them!

What about you?

So enjoy your shopping Saturday

Floral Princess

 Floral dresses are everywhere this season and for me this is a refreshing change from the girly florals that we see in the Summer seasons. These are a more grown up gothic version of the cutsie flowery summer dresses and offer drama in a feminine rather that a little girly way.There are so many variations however my favourites are the longer versions be it maxi or midi. Although many have gone down the granny's closet route, I prefer the Dolce woman. a retro timeless diva ...add slits to your maxis and a cinched in waists, transparencies and  dramatic skirts.If you go for a mini dress , over the knee boots are the best way to complement the length and to give you a modern up to date look.

Of course I have scoured the stores to find some great versions so I hope you like them!

Pom Poms aren't just for Cheerleaders!!

Sometimes I love  a trend and I am not entirely sure why. I definitely am not one for embelishment and clearly prefer simple lines and colours, but everynow a feaky me comes out ! This season I am being tempted by velvet and  faux fur and worst of all Pom Poms!!
I love them , my husband thinks I am mad and my dog keeps biting at my shoes but I absolutely love them ( despite the slighly dodgy looks I get in the Super Market). I am sticking by them and by the looks of things I am in good company. It started of in Summer with the little pom poms ( or is it pom pons??)on sandals and has evolved into big fluffy colourful ones that pop up anywhere!!

They are everywhere and will bring fun and colour to the drab winter months!

The Most Beautiful and Practical Bags are A True Investment.

It's all very nice , all these celebs walking around with backpacks, mini bags, tiny tiny bags , bucket bags etc , but where is the practicality. Most of us need a bag that we can take to work or shopping that will literally fit a miny version of our lives in there...There isn't much you won't find in my bag!
So in the name of practicality and of course beauty , because I believe a handbag is the most important item you will wear or carry, and hence should be an investment based on love and admiration, I have found some pretty spectacular ones that not only look great but will also fit all your necessities ...and the kitchen sink!

Shirts and blouses....button yourself up!

Shirt Marks&Spencers (old)similar here /jeans Zara (last season) similar here/ Trainers Nike here ( I actually bought kids size but available in adult sizes as well)/ Zara Bag similar here

Shirts have a achieved new status this season, I mean you would have to be living under a rock not to notice the abundance of shirting around. And these are no ordinary shirts...oh no!!

You have never seen such a variety of shapes and I have to say some of them seem quite scary at first.But after trying on some interesting ones, I have come to the conclusion that they have the power to look both effortless and striking at the same time.

Some things to be careful of when wearing a shirt:

1. Make sure your whites are whites, this needs to look pristine if you are going down the minimalist route.

2. Like wise , make sure it is well pressed and try not sit down too much , as creases ruin the effect ( not very realistic I know!)

3.If you go for  a cheaper option and there are so many great options available, make sure you clip all the loose threads.Remember if it looks perfect, it looks expensive!

Here are some of my favorites!

From left to right

So however you wear yours make sure you have fun with it...shirts are far from serious this season!

The Choies dresses you need today!!

For most people Summer is the time for weddings ,christenings and partys, however I am finding myself with  multiple invitations to occasions which has put in abit of a panic. I have many Summer dresses , but winter dressing is different. I find it quite hard to find the style of dresses I like that are also Winter appropriate.Also , since I will be seeing many of the same people at all these events I cannot wear the same outfit which can prove pretty costly!
Thank goodness for Choies then, that's what I say !There are many online stores that on the face of it offer a great variety of product , however when the product arrives you end up invariably disapointed.Not so with this retailer! admittedly they are a bit more expensive than others , but still very good value and the quality is great, the sizing is accurate and they are true to their image online. So after looking through the available choice I have narrowed it down to a few that I think will serve me well!
