#WantItWednesday (25/03/15)

So, I may have gone on about this for months, but I have just moved into a shiny new home! I have had a few of my nearest and dearest round but am not yet ready to have a full on 'grown up' dinner party with courses and a cheeseboard! I have been putting it off; although my tea sets are second to none; my cookware needs a bit of work 

(I also need to finish putting my dining table together - Don't ask.) 

Enter Falcon and their delectable enamel sets.

AW15 Fashion Week Round up

Well... The parties have been thrown, champagne has finally stopped flowing (for now), Blue Steel is back with a vengeance and the street style fashion pose has been put away for the season. The AW15 show season is over; what a whirlwind it has been!

I have trawled through the statics, shows and photos for my pick of my favourites so you don't have to.   

From New York & Milan to my Hometown (and my spiritual Home) I have picked my best of the week to help with with my winter wardrobe. 

New York brought us The 70s and the cold; London was all about 'a motorway restaurant', Milan brought craft to the forefront and Paris was all about new beginnings.

I love a full skirt, especially in the summer. There is something very Roman Holiday about it. The days feel a bit more glamorous when you are out and about, hopping on and off the tube with a full swooshy skirt. It makes your morning commute a little more exciting than it really is.

I have already professed my love for dungarees and here I am about to do it again.

They are perfect for running errands and I love that they make you look (or feel) a bit younger. They do in my case, especially when I pair them with an enormous bow atop my fod.
It seems like the rest of the world is finally catching up with my infantile obsession with overalls.
One of the most prominent fashionistas who has recently joined the dungaree harem is a style icon to many. Alexa Chung's collection for AG Jeans are filled with dungarees & dungaree dresses that make my heart skip a beat. Dungarees are finally cool again!! (Not that I would have taken them out of my rotation) They lend themselves perfectly to winter to spring transitional dressing. 

If it’s a little cold out, and you don’t want to wear a jacket, chuck a jumper and a granddad shirt on underneath and you've an effortlessly cool, warm outfit. Working during the day and are going for drinks in the evening? Chuck on a pair of heels and you've a fashion forward look. Easy, bloody peasy!

High Street Heroes: March

Hello Spring! the days are getting longer, the weather is slowly picking up and my mood is improving on a daily basis. This can only mean one thing... I am beginning to step out in style. So I thought as this was a special occasion and I have resolved to wear my beloved Supergas a maximum of twice a week, this month's High Street Heroes are all about the shoes. Heels, flats, platforms and everything in-between!. 

For the perennially casual these espadrilles from River Island  are a win/win in the shoe game. These scream for bare legs, or loose jeans and look so comfortable. I love the snake skin too; you can pattern clash, go wild with your brights or keep it clean and neutral with a plethora of white, beige and taupes, nothing would look out of place with these. 

I would pair these with an oversized, crisp button down (collar popped) a pair of light washed boyfriend jeans and a lot of bangles. (Headscarf optional)

These makes me want to think warm thoughts and be in the park right now.

Who doesn't like flowers? I am feeling a little sad and full of cold this week and so I am covering my entire flat in floral fancies. I am going all out and giving a certain Ms Carey a run for her money.

So where do you go to get enough flowers to make you feel better, without having to ask/be ill/get married?!


If you fancy letting your creative juices flow and want to arrange your own flowers; then the best place for you to go is Columbia Road Market.
