Singing in the rain.

OK so I am not quite singing more like running in the rain, but you sometimes have to work with the lyric! For those of you who read my blog and are based in the UK, you will all feel my pain when it come to dismal wet weather, and understand when I say sometimes you need to have a little practicality in your wardrobe. So I have pulled together the perfect day-to-day outfit for running around in the showers.

However if the sun did come out I would throw off the chucks and raincoat and pull on these (click here) gorgeous Giuseppe Zanotti suede knee high boots, I am in love but they are not really weather practical but that hasn't ever stopped me before!!

Mid-Season Sale Picks

So since everywhere has gone into sale, I thought I would share with you my sale picks. I think it is important to keep your head when it is sale time, so I always try to pick great wardrobe staples that will work across the seasons, and with these picks coming in at under £250 it is a great time to update your wardrobe at half the price.

Are you checking me out?

Like all of you I am searching for the perfect winter coat. I normally buy more than one winter coat if I am honest, and this year will probably be no different, but the coat going to the top of my list is this great pale check coat from Topshop. I love the style and the length, it is something you can throw on with basics and it looks put together, and that definitely appeals to me.

I have kept the outfit simple as this is really something I would wear day-to-day, and I have to give Miss Selfridge credit with their shirt selection of late it has really stepped up a gear.

As you might remember I have already featured these Zara flats in the alternative colour way (see here) but as I have said previously they are a great price point so a girl can afford to own them in both colour ways.

The hat is Isabel Marant and I just love it. Then the bag is 3.1 Philip Lim and I am all about the structure and the zips, it gives the whole look an edge which I think works perfectly.

Keep on running.

Well, my title isn't completely true as these trainers are definitely not for running in! My New Balance 565 are a recent purchase and I love them. They are great for looking stylish on down days and are many models trainer of choice! What's more they are currently on sale at Office. It was a no brainer hehe.

Out and about.

There are days when practicality needs to rule my fashion choices and I need an outfit I can throw on quickly, look great and go about the days to do list (and normally that list is pretty long!)

The dress is from Mango and is the perfect solution, it is on trend and looks amazing. Add a layer with a denim shirt and you are good to go, this one from Acne is am amazing investment piece and would work with pretty much everything.

Flats are a must on hectic days, these Zara ones are my ideal. They are completely practical but would challenge some of my heels on occasion! I have finished the look with an oversized shopper as on days like this I tend to carry my whole life round with me, and pick up some bits on the way hehe.

P.s. I am a girl who always carries an oversized knit in my bag at all times, so if you need an additional layer as the weather starts to chill this would be the perfect solution.

Baby it's cold outside

So it is Saturday night and I am snuggled up warm and cosy, so I thought why not share some muted tones and lux fabrics ideal for nights like this.

Perfect!

P.s. I think I may have just found an amazing new underwear range ...

It's rude to stare ...

But it would be hard not to if you were wearing this amazing Jason Wu leather skirt, the colour just pops. If I had money to burn I would be purchasing this three times over I completely love it!!

I have mixed up the muted pallet so that it doesn't sit too dull against the skirt. The bag is by Joseph and is probably one of the best bags I have seen this season so far, it works perfectly for me as it lends itself to all styles. The knit is just classic and as I have said before Kooples is one of my go to stores, I love their ethos and simplicity.

Working in some high street with the classic oversized black coat from Warehouse and killer heels from River Island, this isn't a look for those who are shy and retiring. But those who dare tend to win and this is a winner in my eyes!

So I have been treating myself this week, and my purchase I want to share with you all is this completely gorgeous set of underwear from M&S. As promised in July (click here) I have been keeping an eye out for their A/W range and they haven't disappointed. This Limited Collection bralet is just perfect, and the teal colour is great for Autumn.

Well done M&S what with underwear like this and the coat of the season you are fast becoming a blogger favourite!!
