Paper Thin 003

I have been living in this Miss Selfridge shirt of late, and it was a sale purchase so all the better. I have styled it with my customised (aka overly worn/battered) Leigh Topshop jeans and my River Island ankle boots that are the comfiest thing ever and are perfect for days out in London.

I also need to add that the varnish is from the gel colour range by Seventeen in Azure Amore and is so perfect for Spring!

Facing facts.

As I sit here on a pretty gloomy Sunday afternoon, I have decided to face facts and admit that winter is well and truly on its way. With that in mind I thought I would pull together an outfit that combines my perfect winter purchases.

Hats are big in my wardrobe but mainly of the bobble variety kind, however this fedora by ASOS is making me swoon.

As most of you may have figured out I love knitwear and no one has done it better this season than Whistles, I think this is the third appearance on Paper Thin from their range and I doubt it will be the last.

Leather is a staple in my wardrobe, but I think if I owned these Joseph leggings I am not sure I would ever take them off. They would be my go to item every day. I have a similar pair from Topshop but these really are the next level.

Boots, you can't get through the winter months without them, and I really like the edge they give to my more girly outfits. These from Zara are on my Christmas wish list, but may have to be promoted to my just got paid list next week as I am not sure I can wait any longer!

Finally I am not really a girl who wears a large amount of jewellery, normally one great piece is enough for me. This brass ring from People Tree is perfect, I already own a fair trade brass ring which I love and I always get compliments when I wear it, so it looks as if this will be joining my small but perfectly formed jewellery collection.

So there it is my winter wish list in one look, hope you love it as much as I do.

Markets, Autumn and Me.

After three months of blogging I thought it was about time to open my blog up and let you into my world!

I have recently moved to London and I love everything about it! So I thought I would share with you my outing to Borough market this week along with my first outfit post all in one go.

I hope you enjoy!

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!!

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.

All the leaves are ... Orange

Or at least the coats are in my world!

I was heading back home from London yesterday and whilst waiting for my train I looked across Kings Cross station to see a sea of blackness. It seems once the nights get darker and the days get colder the first thing we do is head straight for the black winter coat. Now don't get me wrong I love a classic black coat as much as the next girl (and have an amazing one lined up for an upcoming post) however this Autumn I am asking you all to try something a little different.

This tomato coat by Topshop is exactly what I am talking about and looks great with the Sophie Hulme knit, she is a current favourite of Vogue and moi, so you know it is a good purchase! I kept the rest of the look simple, after all the coat is there to do the talking.

So this Autumn, be brave and put some colour into your wardrobe.

Bring on the boots.

So Autumn is here and that means boots, boots and more boots. I am in love with this Lanvin pair and they are on my ultimate wish list.

I am also a fan of all things from the Kooples (this jacket is perfection). Their clean lines are exactly my style, and mean I can justify paying that little extra as they are not one season purchases. I have mixed in some amazing high street pieces, this River Island jumper is great and comes in black as well as this amazing red, making this the perfect Autumn outfit.

So I am starting to accept that summer is over, and it is about time that I started to embrace the Autumn accessories. That for me means boots and hats. Knowing that I will now be living in them for the next six months, these ones from ASOS are a must. They are great for everyday wear and the heel is the perfect size.

I have teamed them with this Lulu & Co dress and the holographic iPad case the perfect look for work as Autumn starts to take a hold.

My favourite jeans.

So jeans are pretty much a staple in every girl's wardrobe and mine is no different. I am totally addicted to Topshop Leigh jeans and have them in more colours than I can count, they fit perfectly. I have paired these with a gorgeous  Helmut Lang jacket (definitely one for the wish list although now in the sale) and these  amazing boots from Zara. This is pretty much my ideal work look.
