A New Look...

Hi Guys!!

I know there has been radio silence from me the last couple of weeks... but it is for a good reason!

Keep checking the page out as I will announce a New LEWK and a new direction for Lucie's Lockets as soon as I can. 

It's all rather exciting! 

Ta Ta For Now... 

#WantItWednesday (28/10/15)

I am going away with the family for Christmas this year... it's going to be warm, the exchange rate (for now) is looking good and I am slowly starting to warm up to the idea... 

As it has been a while since I have flown long haul I have been thinking quite seriously about luggage options (all of my current options are only suitable for long weekends) and whenever I think of luggage I remember the greatest fictional luggage collection ever to have existed. Wes Anderson's Darjeeling Limited Family Luggage collection. 

Via Classic Driver

I loved this film and the luggage stayed with me forever. I lusted after the collection (created specifically for the film by Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs no less) and spend months, searching hoping and praying that this luggage collection were available to buy so I could bankrupt myself.

 Alas, it was only made for the film and the pieces were auctioned off for charity at a cost I couldn't even come close to, even if I did actively bankrupt myself. 

Then... Something happened. 

#WantItWednesday (21/10/15)

So my birthday has been and gone, I am sad that I am another year older and I still have birthday money burning a hole in my pocket (that wasn't converted to gin). So I have been scouring the globe (literally) looking for ways to spend my birthday money! I shouldn't have wasted my time; the answer was right in front of me and in my own city the whole time. 

From Alex Monroe

One of my favourite jewellery designers of all time, Alex Monroe is famed for his glorious bee motif jewellery. I have spoken about my love for his craftsmanship time and time again. So when it comes to Treat 'Yo Self for your birthday I could think of nothing else I wanted 'to me, from me'

I love a pinky ring and this truly is the pinkiest of pinky rings and is just GORGEOUS! 

I wear a lot of white gold and silver jewellery and this sits with the rest of my permanent jewellery collection beautifully.  

The bee motif is classic Monroe; beautiful  and as quintessentially British as ever. Just another reason why I desperately want it! 

Each ring is personally sized so you needn't worry about it falling off like most off the rack rings and the bee is just raised enough for it to not catch on every sleeve you have ever owned (extra important during the winter months)

So yeah, this is exactly what my birthday money is going toward, much better than gin I think!

Until Next Week! 

#WantItWednesday (23/09/25)

From Topshop

Autumn has well and truly arrived and I am now looking for something that will help me transition into the bleak cold months. I have found a perfect pair of boots from Topshop that fit the bill perfectly.  

This work well with bare legs and the inevitable thick, opaque tights that will happen in the bleak dark nights to come

Now, I would pair these with a pair of skinny jeans, an oversized shirt and a giant, comfy jumper. Sheer Autumn Perfection!

Because the heel is super chunky, these are really comfortable as a casual everyday shoe. Go on... you know you want a pair!

Until Next Week!

#WantItWednesday (09/09/15)

So I have missed a week; blame it on a home improvement gone awry. However I am back with a vengeance and wonderful new dining table in my flat to eat on. Once I had managed to put the table up I was once again back on the high street looking for my next sartorial fix. 

From Monki

And I found it this week with the hidden gem that is Monki. 

I was always a bit weary of this chain; it always looks really painfully young and cool. The kind of cool you'd want to clip around the ear. 

I had come across a few bits during my hourly trawl through ASOS. Some of their best pieces (more than a couple are now proudly sat on my clothing rail of merit) like this shirt dress and these culottes.

Next on my list of things to buy is this perfect oversized sweater dress from their AW15 arrivals. This is huge, soft and perfect in many and any occasion. 

I would wear it with a crisp, white shirt and one of my many hundreds of white trainers or plimsolls. (these would look best with that look)

In fact... I like the idea of this look so much that I am clicking 'add to basket' as I speak, with about 100 other bits! oops. 

Until next week!

   

#WantItWednesday (26/08/15)

Well... Summer is OVER I am DEVASTATED. 

So I am looking forward to wrapping up and doing the only thing I can during the chilly, wet and miserable weather. Layering up with style. 

I have been on a hunt. I have been looking for shirts, tops, skirts and trousers that lend themselves to be worn under or on top of hundreds of different warming others. 

The chicest way to layer, in my opinion is to layer, using variants of the same colour. 

I have always said I wear a 'uniform' and that uniform consists of five colours, beige, white, black & navy. It also helps that these beautiful colours lend themselves quite well to a layered wardrobe. 

I have found the perfect item to begin your layering for the season and can you believe it? It's under £20! 

From New Look

This absolute steal from New Look(link) is amazing, easy to wear and the perfect base to start adding layers to. It even comes in my uniform of shades. (So I'll have two in every colour please!) 

I would pair this with a pair of cigarette trousers (these would go excellently), a pair of plimsolls or über fashionable trainers du jour and a button down (done up all the way) for an easy casual look for work. You could even go nuts; with a button down tunic or shirts dress underneath it too. Pair or with a huge scarf like an old favourite (sadly discontinued) on an extra blustery day, (like today) or a super cute, super yellow raincoat. 

Look at the ways to wear below:

See not the sun has gone out. I'm really depressed; so layers and comfort are the only things that could save me; that and spending countless hours shopping. 

Until Next Week! 

#WantItWednesday (19/08/15)

Via Cos

So Summer is more or less over (sob) so I have been searching high and low for transition pieces that can take me through to the bleak winter. 

I have been looking for something in one of my favourite colours, Navy and I have found this beauty and a half from one of my favourite shops, Cos.

This glorious shirt is the sartorial mullet of tops; business in the front...Party at the back. 

This is perfect for a work outfit or relaxing in a pair of baggy boyfriend jeans. 

#WantItWednesday (12/08/205)

From Cos

So the weather has been flipping out the last couple of days.

It's been humid and cloudy, sunny and windy and because of it, I am taking hours to get ready.
I am just not sure what the day will bring. 

So I have been looking for a dress that is suitable for all seasons, is easy to wear and can be dressed up easily. I have found it in this chic simple beauty from Cos.

I love this dress. The would look amazing with a pair of converse as it would with a pair of chic glitzy sandals.

This is perfect for the changeable weather, it's a heavy duty jersey; perfect for when the wind & rain picks up, The Oversized shape is perfect for those lighter, brighter days and nights.


This dress also fits in seamlessly with my wardrobe of grey, black & navy blue so could easily be carried into the Autumn months because I think I will be wearing this for a long time to come.

Until Next week!

#WantItWednesday (05/08/16)

I have been on a bit of a home decor vibe the last couple of weeks. 

I have been painting, decorating and DIYing like a trouper and I love it! I have been dreaming about bookshelves and furniture and I am not sorry about it!

From Made.com

I am have been in need of lighting for ages. My flat is lovely (now after weeks of decoration) but I am sick of having the ceiling light on all the time... And then I found this.

I am complete and totally in love with this Copper lamp from Made.com. It is fun, cool and makes me feel like I am not in my flat in deepest darkest East London; but in an huge, spacious loft in the middle of Copenhagen.

This looks great modern furniture (aka IKEA, let's not pretend) and it's really, good value for it's design. I have decided that this beauty will be perfect next to my enormous floor mirror. Perfect for those #OOTD Instagram shots I should be taking.

Copper is one of my metals of the moment. I have a lot of accents in it throughout my home. To be honest, I want to gilt my flat in it.


I have searched high and low for the best pieces for the home. Have a look at my favourite pieces here:

From L-R: Oliver Bonas, Tom Dixon, Ikea

So as you can see, it's taking over my life.
I am off to buy more copper.

Until Next Week!

#WantItWednesday (22/07/15)

With it being warm there are more reasons for us to wear dresses (HOORAY!) I have been on a hunt for the best dresses on the market.
So I am going to be short & sweet for today's #WantItWednesday.

From Warehouse

I have found this amazing dress from Warehouse. This is perfectly on trend for Summer & Autumn with a distinct 70s vibe. The panel detail on the empire line is really cute and makes you want to don a pair of platforms and dance the night away in Studio 54.  

Have a look at my ways to wear below:

All looks can be found here

I am off to the park now, to soak up the most of the summer, until next week!

#WantItWednesday (15/07/15)

From M&S

So it has been blissfully warm the last couple of weeks and I love it! The only problem is I am having to peel myself out of my uniform of jeans, button downs and jumpers because, frankly, I look ridiculous.

So I find myself uttering the same expression, morning, after morning, like a loon. 'I have nothing to wear' So I have been looking in unlikely places to find dresses that I like and aren't ridiculous.

#WantItWednesday (01/07/15)

From Office

So to give you a bit of background on this week's #WantItWednesday, I have to talk to you about a

particularly arduous journey into work one morning. 

I was crushed against another 100 people (as usual) on the tube. It was hot and miserable and was staring at the floor; as I had run out of newspaper and the will to live. 

Then I saw an effortlessly fashionable and literally cool woman on glide into the carriage in these BEAUTIES. I fell in love. Hard.

I then spent the rest of the week (no joke) searching high and low for these sandals sent from heaven as I was unable to ask the wonderful lady where her shoes were from. 

(I was unfortunately rammed under the unsavoury armpit of another tube user)

I eventually found them in Office and a new summer sandal romance was born. 

These go with everything in my wardrobe, my skinny jeans, my boyfriend jeans, my pleated skirts my midi skirts, you name it, it goes with it. 

They are also in my favourite hue; rose gold, I love rose gold, I love copper, I love bronze It's spectacular. I have spoken on numerous occasions about my love of this shade. 100% one of my favourites. 

Look at of these wonderful ways to wear here:

All looks can be found here

See? Have I converted you yet?

Just look at how happy my feet are?!

Until Next Week!

#WantItWednesday (24/06/15)

From Monki

I have been searching high and low for a lovely relaxed, summer skirt and I think I have found it in this gorgeous skirt from Monki. 

This lightweight, striped denim skirt is perfect for the longer evenings spent outside. This works well with an oversized button down or a Tshirt, even one of my favourite Fisherman Jumpers from American Apparel for when the nights draw in. 

I think my summer prayers have been answered with this little beauty. This is fun, relaxed and delightfully vintage for the summer. 

#WantItWednesday (17/06/15)

From Bergdorf Goodman

So It's Summer, which means you need free hands for ice cream and white wine spritzers.

And do I have the perfect bag for you, this weeks #WantItWednesday. 

This crossbody bag from New York label Mansur Gavriel, is has been made for summer. The butter soft, Italian leather handbag is perfect for tucking your purse, phone and cares away and looking fabulous while doing so. 

It does come in a range of colours, but my favourite has to be this BEAUTIFUL tan. 

It goes with everything; my uniform (Oversized T-shirt, a pair of jeans), summer dresses, kaftans, everything!  

The entire collection has a vintage feel, which is wonderfully on-trend for the summer. This feels like a bag you envied in your parents youthful and care-free photographs and you cursed them for not keeping just for you.   

Well, now you can have it; but unfortunately there is a catch. You have to wait for US shipping as this is only available in New York Institution Bergdorf Goodman. So it's either waiting rather impatiently (like me) or jumping on the next available flight to JFK. I know which one I would rather!    

#WantItWednesday (10/06/15)

From River Island

So coat and heavy jacket weather is FINALLY over. But we do all live in England so cover ups are unfortunately necessary. 

I have been trawling the high street and the Internetweb and I have found this lightweight jacket sent from heaven. Well specifically, River Island.

This is cute as a button and perfect for the longer summer evenings spent on the riverside or in the beer garden. 

This works beautifully with shimmery summer dresses, crisp shirt dresses and my lifetime staple. An oversized t-shirt and jeans. 

The pattern is wonderfully loud (and ever so on trend) so you could be brave and pair this with another pattern for a truly on trend pattern clash (like a Breton stripe or a graphic floral ) or let the jacket do all of the talking for you with plain, light colours. 

So go on, treat yo' self and you'll be summer ready in no time at all! 

Until next week!

#WantItWednesday (03/06/15)

From New Look

Sometimes I want people to realise how much of a DIVA I am.

I mean, I know I am fabulous but sometimes I want everyone else to realise and appreciate too. Enter this beautiful fabulous hat that articulates that so you don't have to. 

This beauty screams 'Bow down, you are in the presence of greatness' without you even lifting your head.

#WantItWednesday (20/05/15)

It's nearly summer, nearly a bank holiday and I couldn't be more excited! 

An extra long weekend, it should be a nicer weekend than it is now (well, according to this) so what is there not to like?!

From & Other Stories

For this week's instalment of #WantItWednesday I am  sticking firm to my summer feeling with these gorgeous espadrilles from & Other Stories. 

Nothing makes me feel like Summer has arrived than a pair of espadrilles. The history of these pyrennean staples are second to none; examples of espadrilles can be found as far back as 4000 years ago and they are still just has fashionable now. 

These are perfect with almost any summer staple. Pair these boyfriend jeans and t-shirt, a wonderful relaxed look. Wear these with a loose summer dress (maybe with a bit of broderie anglaise) and you will feel absolutely ethereal. 

I love the platform on these too, anything to add a bit of height to my 5'2 frame!

I cannot wait to slip these on and slide right into summer!

Until Next Week!

#WantItWednesday (13/05/15)

From New Look

I am aware that I have incredibly expensive taste. I like nice things and nice things normally cost me the equivalent my rent. So sometimes it is refreshing for my soul (and my bank balance) when I find something that is a) beautiful b) practical and c) under £100.

Enter this amazing, oversized blazer from New Look. With summer fast approaching, this is the perfect transition piece. 

You can wear this with a summer dress, a t-shirt and jeans, a floaty skirt and cami, essentially your entire summer wardrobe can go with this blazer, it's oversized but I would get this one or two sizes larger than your regular size. It just feels a bit better and more relaxed.

#WantItWednesday (06/05/15)

It's May! Yay! It's Spring, slightly warmer and brighter that makes me infinitely happy. 

When it is slightly warmer and brighter; it makes me slightly brighter and being brighter makes we want to wear loud, proud and happy clothes. 

From Liberty

Enter the Classic Liberty Print Shirt. It's loud and pretty and I want them in all the patterns and colours.  

I am a big fan of button downs anyway. Chuck on a pair of skinny jeans or cigarette pants, add my favourite pair of plimsolls and a lot of bangles and your outfit is more or less complete and perfect, without even trying.

This is my normal shirt of choice, these work well in any situation and environment, casual or less so.  

Have a look at my ways to wear below.

#WantItWednesday (15/04/15)

From Urban Outfitters 

It is actually warm enough to leave your coat at home... This makes me happier than I care to admit. 

It is an absolute joy to me that spring has FINALLY sprung properly and I am going to celebrate with these beauties from Urban Outfitters. 

It's time for your toes to get a much needed dose of Vitamin D and these are a great addition to a casual wardrobe.
