#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!

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!)

You are probably more than aware now that I am a fan of rose gold. It's warm, luxurious & glamorous without being flashy or ostentatious, the perfect hue for everyday wear. 

I am also a big fan of bracelets and bangles. I'm often adorned with massive amounts of arm candy, in addition to my beloved watch. So if there is one that I can wear everyday and it not look affected; then I'll sit up and take notice. 

This bracelet from Sho London is one of those bracelets. The Pop Bracelet range is an amazing collection of easy & interchangeable bracelets. They come in a variety of colours, metals and hues; my favourites are the rose gold variety.  

I love these because they are a perfect for a casual wardrobe and made for stacking; without feeling like you are pretending to be a grown up and doesn't weigh you down. 

With the seasons changing; have collated a list of looks, perfectly suited to these amazing pieces and the colder weather. 

These and the bracelets are perfect for lazy days in the pub or multiple brunches.  They are just amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on all of them!

#WantItWednesday (30/07/14)

I don't claim to be tech savvy; I know my way round a computer and I get most things pretty quickly; some things however will always escape me (much like my Mother and her constant use of inappropriate emojis) but I cannot and will not get my head around one thing, music on phones. For me it has to be a separate entity from my phone otherwise I get all kinds of Skynet feelings about how much my phone controls my life and what it knows about me; it gives me the John Connor Chills. So despite my fully functioning 32g iPhone 5c being in one pocket,  I resolutely carry my iPod, covered with stickers and filled with the bands of my youth (and their umpteen live recordings) in the other and I feel like headphones should be weighty enough to justify carrying a seperate device, without me having to explain it. 

Music is important to me, not because I'm a music lover, but because I am a Londoner. I, (like most commuting Londoners) am of the opinion that, If you are on the tube and you haven't something jammed into or over your ears I will assume you haven't mastered the art of 'avoiding all manner of human interaction before 9am & after 5pm" mentality that has been ingrained in us since birth. You and I both know and that you need saving; or you are going to be accosted by the obligatory crazy person sat opposite you on the tube. Just in case you do, these amazing headphones   from Friends are an excellent and beautiful way to be saved.

How can you not love these headphones?! These Layla Headphones are beyond a work of art. They are shiny (I must be part magpie, I swear) and in my favourite hue of the moment rose gold. I certainly didn't think rose gold could be improved upon but adding white leather is an ingenious idea that makes me kick myself because I didn't think of it first.

They are spectacular, they are designed of course, to enhance your already fabulous wardrobe. The trouble I'm finding is that I want to replace my entire wardrobe to enhance these headphones! You will definitely feel amazing when your head is wedged firmly between the pages of the Metro at 8am, even if you don't feel all that awake. 

If you'd rather blend in than buy a new wardrobe. Have no fear, there are equally stylish and less obvious headphones for you to avoid the crazies. These amazing minimalist headphones from Urbanears are the ones for you. My favourite style form this crazily popular brand are the Plattan, a simple, classic & flexible style that can fold down into the size of a fist and fit comfortably in a larger Handbag (really, is there any other kind) or backpack. These are sleek and minimalist. I am particularity taken with the colour-block throughout the headphones, especially the Slate Grey. I think this is why I love them so much. 

Don't get me wrong; these all work wonderfully, both sets of headphones possess amazing noise cancelling technology to really block the sound of the raving lunatic out. Aside from my John Connor Chills. Both Sets of Headphones are all compatible with your phone (although in the Layla's case it's only compatible with the iPhone) 

So there you have it, go forth and avoid the crazies in style! I certainly will!

I am sure you'll agree that urbanears were right when they said You won’t know how you made it this long without it. Here, Here!

#WantItWednesday (06/08/14)

I love things in miniature and I LOVE things in rose gold. It's a warming hue that can be worn day and night and it's a precious metal that suits everyone. 

This week, following on from last week's rose gold perfection I have gone all out on my love for all things rose gold and iminiaturised and I have collated a plethora of mini rose gold trinkets that need to be in my possession RIGHT NOW!

Mini Studs are possibly my favourite ear accessory of the moment. I have an odd number of piercings to play with due to a demure little tunnel I had stretched during my wild days at university (I still love it and it's a fantastic conversation starter) and small earrings make this look unassuming and feminine if I want to draw attention away from it. 

These gorgeous little stars (figuratively & literally) from Phoebe Coleman are perfect for everyday wear. They are delicate, feminine and perfect; I would keep these in during the day for work and they would not look out of place on a night out if you wanted to draw attention to another pieced of eye catching jewellery you wanted to wear instead. I love them. These are sold exclusively at My Wardrobe and can be found here. 

Get them before I do!

Another pair I am more than obsessed with are these beautiful bud studs from another British mainstay, Alex Monroe. The detail is evident right away. These are the epitome of dainty, right down the minuscule diamond in its centre. I want to squeal a little every time I see them. They are just gorgeous. These also mix well with other studs and I think would be an excellent partner to the stars above. You can't go wrong with these!

 You can get these direct from the website here

If you are a person who likes to mix dainty with a bit of edge, these sugar skull inspired studs from Links are Perfect for you. 

These are delicate with a hard edge, perfect if you want to mix your roses or stars with something a little sturdier. 

I would want to wear this with lots of black and minimal, almost invisible jewels to really allow these to shine. 

Again the detail in them is exemplary and I want to wear them all the time.

Get them here.

All of these, I think can be worn together, however the beauty of rose gold is that is suits all other precious metals beautifully. 

Wear any of these with a pair of silver or yellow gold studs and you will look just as chic if you went rose gold crazy!

I'm definitely going rose gold crazy. I am going to pair my dainty studs in various styles with these, super cheap, super awesome rose gold tunnels. I can think of nothing better!

I do love a good pouch. Anything that means I can hold my flats, lipstick, make-up and the myriad of other bits of crap I keep about my person at all times, while completing my outfit is certainly a winner with me. 

This rose gold/Bronze piece of art from Jil Sander however is on another level. 

I'm already a huge fan of a rose-hued metallic and this is no exception. 

This is so versatile and large, you can wear it comfortably with almost anything. I prefer a single colour, from head to foot to maximise the impact of this absolute gem of an accessory. Have a look at my suggestions below:

Details of all looks can be found here

Rose gold is the future, if you don't want to feel like a member of the herd with rose gold earrings and/or mid-sized rings, this is a wonderful, chic alternative that will keep you ahead of the curve!
