Walking by the river...

I've got Ella Fitzgerald in my head, so figured coupled with the pictures, this title was most appropriate. 

Firstly I must apologies for the dark photos. Note to self- do plan to do your outfit post at the beginning of a saturday and then mooch all day, before running to take a picture before its night. Scatty I am, disciplined I'm not. 

Coat- A charity shop.

Scarf- Alice Hannah.

Jumper- GAP.

Skirt- Next.

Boots-Russell and Bromley. 

Bag- Mulberry.

Outtakes:

Shopping just got even better...

I love to shop, read about shopping, dream about it. But what's it like to watch a TV drama about one of the most fabous shops in the first of its many years? Amaze-balls. Yes. Amaze-balls. 

Its also got the same 'Downton Abbey' glamour, with a spoon full of romance. Just my cup of tea...

If you haven't already...for pete's sake....watch it!

Basic cam...

I have got so used to using my Iphone and Instergram- I barely use my perfectly good camera anymore! So I've made a small new years resolution to do just that. 

Zach got me my camera (red- I also have a red laptop and Ipod) for my 21st birthday and I've not used it since getting my Iphone. 
Granted- the pictures he takes of my outfits on his amazingly posh SLR...but these were taken by my mum- and last week (I HAVE to get the date removed on the pictures-its just weird!).

Top- Ralph Lauren.

Trench- Burberry.

Scarf- Serendipity.

Cardigan- Ted Baker.

Jeans- Levi's.

Boots- Russell & Bromley. 

Bag- Mulberry. 

This outfit is perfect for dog walking and shopping, which is what we did. Coco is so pretty she was even let in some boutiques, which was lovely!

My Mother: The magpie...

My mum has a thing for sparkle...or anything gold. I've wanted to do a post on my mums wardrobe for a while- She is a real life magpie! I can't tell you how many sparkly shoes she has...

The best is yet to come...

The new year has made me feel like I need something a little different to add to my look. I've been a bit weary of them before, but I'm defiantly giving the glasses a go from now on. There's something very 'buddy holly' about glasses, partially black rimmed ones. The fact I watched 'nowhere boy' recently has had an impact too... 

So these little beauties from Lensway, are just the ticket... you can pick yourself up a pair here.

Glasses-C/O Lensway

Scarf- Accsessorize

Dress- Instant Vinatge. 

Leather jacket- F&F @ Tesco.

Hobo bag- Mulberry. 

Studded boots- Boohoo.com

I like this photo a lot- its half Deirdre Barlow, half owl. I never thought I'd say that about my own face...

At the moment I'm working on a feature for the end of the month- this is just a peek into what it may entail..

Watch this space!

Manic Monday...

And manic it was- Ever decided your going to do a million things at work before home time? That was me today! As long as I'm not bored, I don't care!

I've got bangers and mash a'cooking and wine a'drinking and soap opera a'watching.... There's no other way of de-stressing. 

So, Monday in fashion terms, I feel should be smart: its the start of the working week, and the first Monday of the year- today I mean business. And I want to look the business.

Trench- Burberry (I KNOW!)

Scarf- Alice Hannah.

Jumper dress-Instant Vintage.

Boots- Boohoo.

Bag-Next. 

All Jewellery-Azuni. 

We took our Christmas decorations down last night, it makes me so sad! But I decided to keep up the fairy lights, life is brighter is with them!

Until tomorrow!

L'occitane...

I didn't go looking for trouble in the form of beautifully scented moisturiser, but it's what I've ended up with. L'occitane bullied me into it, in a charming, siren style fashion. You see, once I'm in, I can't not buy anything. And when they offer you an almost free gift, you really can't complain... I think I'm in love.

I'm suppose to be saving money...but I feel I'd do it much better with soft skin...
