Good vibrations

Yesterday saw a tiny bit of sun and in honesty it was a bit of a shock after the disgusting weather we've seen over the last two weeks, (erm, mother nature- hello? Any chance of giving us a break? I'm STILL waiting to crack open the summer wardrobe you know?). As you can tell by these photos my eyes were a little shocked by the  big, bright thing in the sky (the sun) so they went a little mole like, but I still couldn't resist sharing my very favourite (until the next one I buy), new kimono. It's super-long at the back but we didn't shoot that, so I'll have to share this little beauty with you again so you can see it in it's full glory. Hopefully next time it'll be with less layers.

LFW: Day 1, What we wore

Day one saw a maiden voyage for my new, very favourite jeans and my new peach blazer (oh yes I was channelling new season pastels- to be read in  my very best 'fashion voice').

Thanks to Sarah for the lovely pictures.

My old pal and fashion week partner in crime Sarah-Leigh, opted for a rather lovely purple fur collar over an effortlessly cool leather jacket and denim number.

You Make Me Live Now Honey

What a delightful autumnal afternoon I've had. Strolling around in the seasonal splendor that is the juxtaposition of warm sunshine and crisp air, with my lovely friend was the perfect way to spend a Saturday. Especially when sporting some of my new and favourite autumn pieces. 

Trench (thanks to The Boy) and leatherette trousers: Topshop, silk slip: nightwear circa 1995 (god, I keep hold of things for way too long), draped tee: Primark, boots (again, thanks to The Boy): Office.

Here's a great song for those ears of yours...

                            

LFW: Day 5: The Outfit

This season I missed the Sunday and Monday at fashion week. Unfortunately work commitments came to ahead and I needed to chain myself to my laptop as I had looming deadlines.

My final day to hit the cobbles at Somerset House was Tuesday. I went for a bit of colour as the sun was out (well it was in the morning anyhow).

Blouse and necklace: Topshop, leather trousers and jacket: vintage, bag Chanel, boots: New Look Limited Edition.

Many thanks to the lovely David at The Nyanzi Report for the images (he's a darl).

LFW: Day 2: The Outfit

I have pinched the images of my look from day two from the super talented Ama Samra's blog: Haptic check out her extensive LFW coverage and extremely good runway photography when you get the chance, she rocks.

I took my absolute, favourite recent wardrobe addition, the kimono, on it's first major voyage and I can't explain to you how much I love it. I really need to share an image with you of the back because that really is where the magic happens.

Kimono and trousers: vintage, top: Topshop, necklace: Warehouse, boots: Aldo, bag: Chanel.

LFW: Day 1: Outfit

Here is what I went for sartorially on day one. In hindsight, a leather maxi, a trench with leather sleeves and a long sleeve shirt weren't really necessary as the sun was beaming but that is the joy (or not as the case may be) of London you never know what the weather is going to be like and therefore what to wear accordingly.

Beware Doll, You're Bound To Fall...

Just a little bit in love with my new vintage trousers, even if they are a little bit 'Rupert The Bear-esque', maybe that's why I love them so?

Top: Topshop, trousers: vintage, belt: sample sale, shoes: Primark, necklace: a gift from my father to my mother, arm candy: H&M

Some Bob for you...

                              

Left My Soul There, Down By The Sea...

I escaped The Big Smoke (aka my beloved London) this weekend. I headed south to pay Mama Coco a long, over-due visit and what a treat it turned out to be. The sun was out, the wine flowed and the fresh mussles (that were caught that very morning) we ate in our favourite bistro were divine.

I am somewhat wishing I was back there at present. Deadlines, new projects and a disgraceful looking inbox are no-where near the relaxation levels that I reached this weekend. Take me back.

Here's some beautiful music for your beautful ears...

Neutrals...

The weather this week has been somewhat unpredictable. Sunny one minute, pouring rain the next. This has meant it's been tough to make decisions on what to wear this week. Luckily the sales are on so I have been out picking up a bargain or two which has eased my decision making.

Where's it from?
