#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!

High Street Heroes: February

So February is here. Your Valentine's presents have either wilted, been eaten or are proudly adorning your body. Lent is just around the corner (I am going to give up Haribo again. It is going to be HARD) and you are contemplating new items for your transitional winter/early spring wardrobe. I am here for you, to guide you through the murky waters (or driving wind) of the high street.

#WantItWednesday (21/01/15)

You all know I am not a fan of the cold. I hate it and makes me want to spend as much time in the warm (AKA pub) as possible. So these boots from Church's are the perfect sartorial antidote to the cold.

High Street Heroes: January

It's been a while but I thought I would trawl through the high street aimlessly so you don't have too!

With the weather being as crappy as it has been of late, I have spent most of my time trawling through coats, hats, gloves and scarves (amongst other things!)

Barneys New York x Yasmin Sewell

Can we talk about my major girl crush Yasmin Sewell?

Not only is she a style icon to millions (including myself) but she has just collaborated with Barneys New York on an epic capsule collection. SWOON!

For those who are unaware of Sewell and why I think she deserves fashion god status. She is a fashion consultant, buyer, former boutique owner and general chic girl about town.

She is street snapped at almost every opportunity and is always at the chicest events. She turns heads and it is all for the right reasons. Many household fashion names you have become accustomed to, (Christopher Kane, J.W Anderson, Rick Owens etc.) she was responsible for bringing to the forefront. She is a fashion powerhouse.

She now runs an amazing fashion consultancy company and is the creative director of Être Cécile. 

She is just all kinds of amazing and everything I hope and aim to be.     

The collection itself is everything I had hoped for. It is versatile, chic and in my favoured muted palettes, perfect for everyday wear. 

The range is based on what Sewell herself her "ultimate wardrobe" and I have to admit is mine as well. Almost every piece in the collection is worthy of my Lust List and will become a piece that you would find hard pressed to not wear at any given opportunity.

My favourite pieces from the collection are this pullover, this knit looks as soft as butter and would comfortably suit a pair of jeans or a decadent brocade skirt.

I absolutely love this navy contrast collar coat, the colour is in my opinion the best colour to wear. It flatters and adds a softness that black sometimes neglects. The cut is as timeless as ever. You will never want to part with this. 

You can shop the full collection here but you'll need to be fast, everything is available for pre-order. I don't think any of it will be around long enough for you to hesitate. 

My trigger finger and credit card is ready, I am about to go wild!
