#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 (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. 

#WantItWednesday (01/04/15)

From Topshop

It's getting warmer and therefore I am actively thinking about sandals, lighter dresses and thinner cardigans.

Because we all need warm thoughts right? These shoes from Topshop are the first on my list! 

Metallics make everything feel summery. Pair with an oversized cardigan and a paper-thin dress with a collar. A winning combination!
These are sandals are perfect for the Easter weekend activities like supervising egg hunts, languid bank holiday brunches and general spring merriment.

#WantItWednesday (17/09/24) NYFW/LFW Breakdown

I have been rather preoccupied for the last few weeks or so as I have been up to my neck in fashion week, amongst other things. So I thought, in lieu of my usual #WantItWednesday I would look at and review my comprehensive list of #Wants from NYFW and LFW.

I love this time of year. Summer is over and you are inundated with parties, trends and most importantly fashion! You find out what in your wardrobe you can carry forward to spring (because, SAVINGS!) and what you will need to quietly retire for a throwback in a couple of seasons' time (or throwaway).

I'm happy that overalls, dungarees and loose fits were a firm favourite at NYFW a particular favourite of mine is this beauty from Alice + Olivia. Prints were bold and striking. Co-Ords are (thankfully) ever present; 

I am not yet ready to give mine up yet either.

Pastels (especially coral) will continue to run through from AW to SS, which will help you to save those all important pennies.

The comforting and chicest of fashion colours; browns, camels and creams (not particularly summery, but whatever) were all over The Row.

Silhouettes were loose and almost medieval, a look that perfectly encapsulates the Olsen Twins aesthetic and I think that's probably why I love it so much! This was a particular favourite of mine. 

I was a huge fan of the details seen on Proenza Schouler. The handbags were prim & proper and the sandals were a strong look, one I just might copy 

(as a non sandal wearer, this is a REVELATION!) 

As a born and bred Londoner, I think I am most impressed with the offerings LFW had to offer. 

Stripes were EVERYWHERE and I for one, could not be happier. This cape from Giles is certainly on my want list, I would make this an casual masterpiece with a pair of light skinny jeans and a pair of plimsolls. 

Pastels were ever present in this excellent and I am surprised that I love this rather grown up collection that exudes fun and frolics in the brief moment of summer we get here. 

One of my faves, Mary Katrantzou stepped away from the bold and striking patterns is best known for this season and produced a sombre collection that better reflects the incliment weather we have become accustomed to. The collection was a rather moody affair, which I for one, loved. There were definite elements of the Pastel Goth that I have yet to get my head around, but no doubt will be covered in soon. A particular favourite of mine were the trousers seen here. I would love this with a pair of (my) nude heels and a slouchy, white T-shirt

While at Burberry Prorsum it was a much more light hearted affair. The skirts were ruffled and light and were edged up with denim and cropped jackets. 

The trench came in an array of fun and citrusy colours; a particular favourite of mine is the yellow that is 100% on my want list

Anya Hindmarch continued on with her irreverent charm and a wonderfully tongue in cheek collection. Tassels were ENORMOUS (I do love a big tassel :))  and the appliqués were graphic and eye catching that is all you could ever want in a handbag in my opinion.  

This was by far my favourite as it was chic enough to make you feel like you were being a good pretend grown up to others, but with enough sass and humour to make sure you didn't take yourself too seriously. 

I had been very impressed with what I have seen so far, and I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on some (in my dream world all of them!) 

I'm off to submerge myself in MFW now... until next time!
