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 (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.

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 (29/07/15)

So this week, I have been searching high a low for a new bag. A bag that will not only be easy to throw on while I am crushed on the tube; but to carry my lunch (because I am good and bring a packed lunch... most days), my books and everything else I normally carry in my black hole of a handbag. 

From MatchesFashion

And I've found it in this perfect cross-body bag from The Row. This is roomy and chic and looks perfect with just about any outfit, whether it's a casual Friday or a Manic Monday. I love the colour of it too. Navy is my go to colour for any chic fashionista, I would even say (possibly in hushed tones) that I prefer navy to black. It's a lot softer and warmer and goes with just as much as the ubiquitous chic shade. 

It's large enough to shove everything in and still be stylish as hell AND you can easily shove others out of the way during the rush hour madness. You'll feel fab doing it too! 

(not that you don't anyway!) 

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:

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 (08/07/15)

From Kiko Milano

So this week I have been soaking up the sunshine; anywhere I can find it. In the park, a beer garden anywhere that I have been able to get my summer drink of choice on.

(you should try it... seriously delicious!) 

So with all of those hot days and cool drinks, I have been thinking about lipsticks and how to keep it is firmly attached to my lips and not the glass I am coquettishly sipping from.

So I have been looking for fun summer colours that won't break the bank and I have found the holy grail in Kiko Milano's Smart Lipsticks.

Available in 24 shades, most of them perfect for summer. They are hard-wearing, kind to your lips and incredibly cheap (for the price of FOUR different shades from Kiko's range you would get ONE from MAC). 

The prep for all lipsticks are exactly the same. If you are unsure of the best way to make lipstick last, this is my favourite method. This is even more important during the summer months when the all make-up threatens to slide off at any opportunity.

These are my favourite shades (so far)

(L-R Watermelon (911), Strawberry Pink (904) & Natural Neige (901)

So I am off to try every shade in the collection, because they are amazing, and I don't have to wait until payday...HOORAY!

Until Next Week!

#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:

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!    

High Street Heroes: June

Hello June! 

The weather is FINALLY warming up and I am on the hunt for my summer wardrobe. 

I have been up and down the high street looking for the perfect components for my capsule wardrobe. I am continuing on my quest to find all thing disco-centric, and the stores on the high haven't disappointed me this month. 

#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 (27/05/15)

From Cos

Summer is all I can think about of late... Light & warm evenings spent in the park on the riverside. 

There is NOTHING better than a summer in London. Nothing!

However, the weather and I are having a few issues of late so I am just going to pretend it is warmer than it really is and wax lyrical about this gorgeous pleat back dress from Cos.

I love this lightweight, fun and relaxed dress. This is my definition of Casual Chic. It's oversized and fun and it works wonderfully with a pair of Converse and a fun vintage headscarf.

This beautiful light blue colour is a cotton and linen blend, perfect for the summer season; it also had one of favourite secret features for a dress... POCKETS!

#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.

High Street Heroes: May

It's May! 

I can smell summer; it's so close and that makes me extremely happy! 

When I'm happy, that makes me want to go shopping and shopping is perfect for this month's high street heroes!

I have been searching high and low for the best the high street has to offer and now I am ready to show you. HOORAY!  

Like I have mentioned a few times already, the 70s are back in a big way. 

Topshop, River Island and the ilk are all over this trend like disco on fever.

All Topshop

All River Island

High Street Heroes: April

The sun is out! HOORAY!!

What better way to celebrate than looking at my pick of the early summer finds this month on the high street. I must confess (it's not really a confession) I have been looking forward to the warmer weather for months and months! I am so excited. No more thick woolly scarves, heavy coats and a frozen fingers... I CANNOT WAIT!

I love this skirt from Urban Outfitters. It's light, airy and perfect for spring. I would pair this with an oversized t-shirt (if your are feeling brave try a bright pattern or a contrasting stripe), bare legs and a pair of well loved converse.

The vertical stripe is flattering on all shapes and sizes and perfect to carry you through to summer. This would even look amazing on your holiday, paired with a kimono and your bikini or swimsuit.

 A wonderfully easy and casual outfit for spring... where is the nearest park? I am ready for a picnic in the sun!

Get them before I snag the lot!

#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.

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.
