I Marant it all!

Today was the day that the Isabel Marant x H&M hit stores, and try as I did I didn't secure a single piece. However I still thought I would share with you a couple of my favourite pieces and I hope that some of you were luckier than me!

The boots are my favourite thing in the whole collection, alongside the fitted gold dress which I was desparate to get for the party season.

In classic Marant style I have kept the look simple, perfect for wearing what ever you are doing.

Killing it in a kilt!

I am so loving the kilt trend, it is making me feel like I am dressing for Christmas every day. This Topshop one is my favourite on the high street, and these Zara heels work perfectly with the look, add to this a clean black polo neck and box bag and you are good to go.

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.

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 hope you enjoy!

Autumn Fix: Knitwear

Knitwear is probably my favourite thing about Autumn. I love nothing more than throwing on my favourite jeans, snuggling up in cosy knits and a nice cup of peppermint tea.

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.

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!

Pretty in blue

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!!

Monday morning you sure look fine ...

Well I don't know about you but Mondays are always a panic day for me, the weekend is over and I am running round trying to squeeze everything in. So as a rule Monday equals practical, but that isn't to say I stray too far away from stylish. Below is my ideal Monday morning outfit comfy, practical and have you seen those pumps if a girl needs to run around she can do it in style!

The skirt is Topshop and it is just something you could wear anywhere, dressing it up or down. The knit is from Warehouse and I really like it, although I can imagine it might be a bit like marmite, which I loathe by the way. But the pumps, oh the pumps, they are Katie Grand Loves Hogan and they are an instant winner over the daily dilemma of I want to look great but need to haul ass over London catching 6 tubes as I go. These I need!!

Finally I am in love with this collection of rings by Whistles, they come in a variety of colours each with a different shape within them and at only £20 a ring a girl can own more than one!!

Wrapped up and ready for conkers!

I am in full Autumn mode as I sit sipping giant mugs of tea enjoying a full evening of blogging, thinking about leaves falling and beautiful rich conkers sat in the trees.

So this evenings outfit is all about rich tones and being wrapped up! This Whistles jumper is fast becoming a blogger's favourite so it wasn't long before it appeared on Paper Thin, it is gorgeous the perfect jumper to snuggle up. My favourite find however is this burgundy boyfriend coat from New Look, it is gorgeous and an amazing price point (I am off to purchase tomorrow!)

The trousers are Topshop Boutique and I love the cut! ASOS never fails me and these Hoxton heels are a classic they will literally go with everything in your wardrobe, boyfriend jeans, midi skirt, masculine trousers literally everything!

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!
