Sunglasses – Mango Dungarees – H&M Shirt – Vintage Necklace - Chupi Shoes – Gucci Basket bag - Zara Probably not my finest idea to wear a pleather dungaree on the ONE DAY the sun actually comes out. But hey I matched my sunglasses to my backdrop so it’s not all bad! I am SO into the colour of these shades – I snapped them up in Mango the other day and I’ve worn them loads already. Anywayyy, as you know I'm a dungaree addicted so obvs fell in love with these dreamy leather loo

A few Sundays ago I was invited to attend the Scoop AW17 trade show to take a look at new brands and collections for the season ahead. This began with a presentation from Rosie Fortescue on her new super snazzy jewellery collection, followed by me turning into magpie mode and discovering some absolute gems. Let's discuss... Rosie Fortescue Jewellery After Rosie had taken us through a little bit about herself, her inspirations and her latest collection I popped down to her sta

Trousers – Zara Jumper – Alexander Wang Shoes – RAID (via ASOS) Bag – Forever21 Coat - ACNE Studios Sunglasses - Celine So cost per wear on these trews is working out REALLY well. I’ve barely had them off. You know when you get something new that you love and can’t stop wearing it, and then wonder what you used to wear before said garm entered your life? Yeah, that. They literally go with everything and for a black and white picnic blanket-esque checked trouser, that is a pre

Tee - Topshop Jacket - ACNE Studios Jeans - Vintage Levis (via Beyond Retro) Bag - Charity Shop Sandals - Swedish Hasbeens There are so many different angles I could take on this topic. So many different females, in so many different areas, doing so many different great things. But I thought I'd stick to what I know best, and that my friends, is clothes. I thought I'd share my thoughts on some of my my favourite designers from LFW, who all happen to be female to show a little

Bag - Radley London Jumper - H&M Trousers - Zara Shoes - Gucci Jacket - ACNE Studios Cat ears ring - Catbird Not to go all Another Level on you but in case you didn't know I am completely and utterly obsessed with fashion (cue #passionforfashion).

There is no way I would spend that kind of money on a 'trend' item or an

Beret - Vintage Jumper - Zara Jeans - Topshop Jacket - Archive By Alexa (season 1) Shoes - Viscata Bag - APC First things first, I'd just like to declare my undying love for navy blue (and berets, stripes and basically all of the above obvs). It is just the best colour. It goes with everything (including black, i am a big fan of a navy blue and black combo). It can be cas', dressy or anywhere in between. It makes a great striped top. The best knitted jumpers are in navy blue.

Dungarees – Vintage Jumper - & Other Stories Shoes – Gucci (via Browns Fashion) Bag - Zara I love dungarees. This may or may not be news to you depending on how recently you’ve stumbled upon my sartorial musings. I did a post a while ago expressing my love for the toddler-inspired jumpsuit but as they are an absolute wardrobe staple for me (I own many, many pairs, both long and short, in denim and other materials...) I thought I should revisit and recommend some of my fave pa

Jumper - Bella Freud Collar - COS Jeans - American Apparel Last Wednesday evening I was invited to preview Paperchase's Love week where we got a taster of some of the dead nice things you can get involved in over the next week across various Paperchase stores. First up we got creative (well actually first up we drank prosec, priorities) and had a stab at making our own valentines cards with a dead snazzy heated sticky foil technique (the proper technical term for it I'm sure

I began my celebrations on Saturday at the dreamy dinner destination that is Bob Bob Ricard in Soho with my gals. No, I didn't only want to go because there is a 'press for champagne' button on

Everything is vintage apart from the shoes which are Gucci! I am a big fan of oriental inspired wears and the latest addition to my Eastern collection is this beaut vintage traditional Chinese blouse that my two pals just brought me back from their recent trip to Australia (I know, I thought I’d be getting a cork hat too…) and following my track record (I have a vintage Hugh Hefner style Chinese smoking jacket and a silky cheongsam from ebay’s finest selection that I am OBSES

Sweatshirt - & Other Stories Shirt (underneath) - Vintage Jeans - Levis (via Beyond Retro) Shoes - Vans x & Other Stories That's Life My Darling - just doesn't sounds as good in English does it? Non. Now I am not usually one for sweats, but the minute I saw this little gem I knew I had to have it. I mean, first things first it’s navy blue - the best colour in the world. Then there’s the fact it has a lovely French slogan across the front in that dead aesthetically pleasing f

T-shirt - The Deep End Club (via Selfridges) Skirt - Zara Coat - Vintage Boots - Charity Shop Another one of my Selfridges sale finds; I have been wanting this tee for aaaages but just couldn’t deal with the shipping and import charges from the US. Little did I know Selfridges stocked them AAAAND I managed to snap it up for a fraction of the original price. Yaaayyyy!! But the question is, does anyone give a damn? When I started my blog first time round circa 2011 before blogg

Jacket - Mango Top - & Other Stories (via Tictail) Jeans - Whistles Bag - Vintage Shoes - ASOS Mango doesn't get enough credit. Well at least it didn't used to, not by me anyway. It just wasnt somewhere I ventured into. But you know what, it's actually really great. This past season I have found approx 24356 things I just needed to have in my life, including this dreamy jacket that I managed to snap up in the sale! It's so soft and cosy, and really good faux leather with a de

Bonjour! Beret? check, stripes? check, new Instax mini 8 polaroid camera to be dead annoying with? check! This time last week I was packing and getting super excited for my New Year trip to Paris that my boyf surprise-booked for me for Christmas! I mean, I'd only been harping on about wanting to go with him for the last six months so the poor lad didn't really have that much choice *emoji teeth baring* bless him. He's canny (nice, for those of you that don't speak North-easte

Well, had I not been struck down by big bad bug (if you haven't got the violins out yet then now is probably a good time...) I'm sure I would have been right there along side ya, probably shoving you out of the way LOLZ just kidding but I do love a good bargain. There's just somet

Coat - Vintage Top - Comme Des Garcons Jeans - Whistles Shoes - Gucci Bag - Vintage I can't believe its 2017, I feel so old. When people reference things that happened in 2007, in my head I'm like oh, so not that long ago then... but that's now TEN YEARS AGO! For me personally, last year wasn't a particularly bad one. Yes, the obscene amount of famous deaths and current state of the world is

Knit top - Beyond Retro Skirt - Zara Boots - Zara Bag - Forever 21 Coat - Vintage So on Saturday I met up with my friend Fran for a good vintage rummage through Beyond Retro in Dalston and all the gems it has to offer - and were there gems to be had my friends. Not gonna lie I pretty much scooted into the changing rooms with half of the shop draped over my arms (who needs the gym ey?!), from sixties mini's to sparkly jumpsuits; I was on a mission and certainly not leaving emp
