Paint the town ... pink.

OK so granted not tonight as I am snuggled up in the warmth blogging and catching up on some blog admin! However if I was out tonight this look would be my ideal!

I have been looking for ages for a midi that works with everything and I think I have found it in this great one from Joy, the length is perfect and it would go with almost everything in my wardrobe. The Zoe Karssen T-shirt is perfect and an amazing buy since it is from The Outnet (2 more of these T-shirts are officially on my Christmas list). The heels are amazing and I don't think I need to say anything more other than amazing once again. Finally the clutch or should I say Klutch, I have featured the clear version on a previous post (see here) however the black version is just as great and if it wasn't Klear I love these Klutches!!

Finally throw on your trusty leather and you are out of the door.

Midi. Check.

So as you probably have established I am a fan of the midi. I love the flexibility of the length, it works really well as a day to night piece and the look below is the perfect way to achieve this.

The midi is from Topshop and comes in an electric blue as well as the amazing olive, which wins for me hands down. The colour is just perfect for Autumn and with pink being the colour of the season this really is the perfect complement. Adding to this the splits give it a little edge whilst still making it suitable for everyday wear.

Joseph never fails to disappoint me for knitwear nor does Office for killer heels. However the clutch is the Pièce de résistance (if a little impractical but when is that ever really am issue?!) It is from Klear Klutch and stocked at ASOS, amazing!

Sunday girl.

So the end of the weekend is almost here however I always like to make the most of my Sunday. Tonight is date night and I am currently living in boyfriend jeans with great knits. The Victoria Beckham ones below are an amazing purchase from The Outnet and Whistles are out doing themselves with knitwear this season.

I have added an oversized boyfriend coat in this season's colour, as well as these great flats from Zara which at under £25 are heading straight onto my payday purchase list!

As you will know from previous posts (see here) I am a Christopher Kane fan, and although I would have loved to showcase the floral feather-appliqué cashmere sweater which is at the very top of my never going to happen wish list hehe, I thought I would show the more everyday aspect of the label.

This cashmere open back sweater is amazing and is probably the most classic piece in the A/W 13 collection, I love it. You can wear styled below with jeans (Christopher Kane of course) and some killer heels or really go to town and team it with the animal-print goat and leather skirt, which is another favourite of mine.

Oh to be a girl

There are days when I love dressing up and being a girl. So as LFW progresses I couldn't resist posting the Accelerator dress by Antipodium. It is girly perfection, cheeky and fun! This dress makes me want to twirl around no matter where I am, even if it is 10am on a Saturday morning! Partner with the Miu Miu heels and you can't go wrong.

To complete I added the perfect black coat (as previously mentioned here) and Antipodium studs.

Another thing I like about Antipodium is the price point, I was reading the other day that the High Street is more than ever snapping at heels of ready to wear, but brands like this are really snapping back proving that you can purchase amazing garments without completely breaking the bank. So now what's your excuse?

Who's that boy/girl?

For those of you who regularly read my blog you will know I am a fan of a masculine look with a girly edge, and today's post does not buck that trend. I am really impressed with Mango's masculine edge this season and these platform moccasins are an amazing! Paired with their oversized Prince of Wales coat, my go to skinny jeans and the perfect wardrobe staple shirt from Miss Selfridge it creates a great masculine look.

Adding the bright pink Matthew Williamson knit and the bejewelled headband gives the look a girly edge. Perfect for the new season ahead.

All the goodies

I made some recent purchases that I thought I would share with you.

The candle is from a company called Flamingo Candles and they make the yummiest smelling candles and melts ever, and this is from a girl who buys an awful lot of candles! I bought the candle in pink lemonade which has been burning constantly in my office, and it smells as good as it looks. I also picked up a thai lime and mango scent melt and before I even opened the box the smell was intoxicating, it is gorgeous and the candle version will be purchased soon I think!

My second purchase has been the Gwyneth Paltrow It's All Good cook book, and I have to say the recipes look amazing. Having been at a festival all weekend I am all for healthy yummy food so I will be attempting to make her two-pan chicken this week ... I am just hoping mine turns out how it looks in the photo!

You are making me blush.

As soon as I saw these ASOS heels I knew I had to post about them (and add them to my wish list). I just love them. They are the perfect heel for day to day wear, and compliment this blush pink tube skirt so well. This is definitly an outfit to carry into Autumn hitting both the bloom and blush trends in one swoop!

Guilty pleasures.

As some of you may have figured out, I love underwear. It is the first thing I treat myself to every month come pay-day and this month is no exception.

However the source of my purchase did some what surprise me, whilst out getting my lunch at M&S, where I would normally contemplate if I want sweet and salty popcorn or spicy lentil curls, this amazing set caught my eye. Mustard and hot pink silk perfection! Well done M&S, I will definitely be back for seconds if the A/W range is anything like this!

Prim Metallics

So metallics are something I love to wear, and these pumps from Kurt Geiger tick all the boxes. They are the perfect Summer/Autumn purchase. They work amazingly in the look below but would look just as goJxod with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a basic tee.

Summer Sunday

So it is Wimbledon men's final and I thought I would pull together the perfect summer Sunday outfit. The simplicity of this outfit and the perfect summer dusky pink skirt contratsed with the masculine patent brogues makes it sweet without being twee ... now all I need are some stramberries and cream!

Ooh La La ...

There is nothing like treating yourself to something special, something that is not for every day, something that is just for you. My weakness is the same as every other girl shoes and underwear. This week I went for underwear and there is only one place to go Agent Provocateur. I love every aspect of a purchase, the perfect packaging, the beautiful craftmanship, even the way the receipt comes in a delightful dusky pink envelope!

(Also the photobooks are amazing!)

Sale goodies

Sales love them or loathe them? I am definitely a lover of sales. They are the perfect opportunity to buy key pieces that are bang on trend, such as my new oversized neon knitwear and Aztec lingerie from Topshop. I know I will be in this knit all summer and it will definitely be featuring on some future posts. But maybe my favourite thing about sales is purchasing a classic like my new masculine brogues, my last pair of tan brogues are looking a little worse for wear, so I couldn’t resist updating them with these amazing one from Office. Perfect.

I really like to take a girly dress and team them with more masculine accessories, it is definitely my go to day look. This pink dress is perfect, and I really love the amazing flats from Office, this is my look to a T!
