#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 (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:
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 (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!
