LFW Day 1 - A/W 15

A 9.30am show on day 1 of LFW means flats and monochrome was the easy option.

LFW day four

Today I am wearing my favourite Topshop jeans which they no longer do but I am always being asked where they are from, I have two pairs of them I love them so much. 

Styled with this great shirt from Warehouse and my new faux leather jacket from Zara - which has had so many compliments during LFW. 

Trusty Topshop pumps complete the look.

Paper Thin 013

As my travels are drawing to an end I wanted to share with you this amazing Zara dress I bought in Belgrade, Serbia. I wore it out for dinner in the old town of Ulcinj, Montenegro and the dress is just stunning, I love the mixed prints. Also it showed off my carefully obtained tan perfectly!

Styled with some gold hardware from Accessorize, sandals from Topshop and my new watch from Swatch.

New finds

As a blogger and a writer I am always on the look out for new labels, that I can fall in love with and showcase on my blog. I tend to read all the major magazines looking for new labels that work with my aesthetic and inspire me.

This etre cecile sweatshirt is a recent find and I am in love with this label. Simple, clean and cool. It works perfectly with these faux leather shorts from Finders Keepers. I came across this brand whilst going through Red magazine this month, and it is sure to make another appearance on the blog soon!

My most recent find came up as a who to follow on twitter, and I have to admit twitter was scarily accurate regarding my taste in jewellery. This ring is by Jessie Harris, I love the simplicity and rawness of her pieces, they are just beautiful.

Styled her with an Acne shirt (my go to label for wardrobe staples that I will wear season after season), great Sam Edelman pumps and some cute glasses from Zara.

The weekly review 007

Inspiration | As we roll out of winter and head towards spring, my inspiration has come from the changing seasons this week. After all everyone loves a fresh start, check out my board here to give you that amazing spring feeling!

Purchase of the week | I was pottering around on my lunch hour the other day and wandered into Zara (this is a regular thing) and was so happy to find sale season was well and truly over, and I had walked into an array of spring shades against a perfect white backdrop. The item that caught my eye was this beautiful coat perfect to see you through those fresh spring mornings!

Game. Set. Match

I am in L.O.V.E with this grey co-ordinate set from Warehouse, it is perfect for spring and the cut is great. It is top of my pay day wish list, with nothing else coming close! I have styled it with this amazing Alexander Wang t-shirt, McQ flats and this stand out statement necklace from Zara.

Bring on spring!

Paper Thin 002

Following my slogan post earlier this month, I thought I would show you all one of the ways I wear slogan t-shirts as part of my everyday wardrobe. I purchased this one from River Island and love it, I have worn it Topshop Jamie jeans, New Balance trainers and my trusty Zara leather jacket.

This is my day to day uniform, and I also normally have an extremely large scarf wrapped round me and a bobble hat plonked on my head, combating the winter chill.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Grey Lux

I love grey, it is one of my favourite colours to wear and it always looks so elegant without really having to try. Great for a daytime look. It also means that you can add a more garish accessory without it looking too brash, below I went with the Victoria Beckham yellow tote. Pricey but amazing so I couldn't resist.

These R13 distressed jeans are perfect to ensure that the outfit doesn't look too put together, and I am really loving River Island's knitwear collection this season so far this chunky knit is amazing and they have some super great coordinating knitwear which I will be purchasing!!

i love bomber jackets (fact)

So I was slightly dubious when it was said the bomber jacket was making a comeback, for those of you old enough to remember the 90's version was not the sleek look being worn today! However I have now fully embraced them and they are definitely a Spring/Summer staple in my wardrobe and this one from Whistles is perfection. Navy - check. Amazing print - check. Silk - check. What more could you want?

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.

Bicycle Summer

I am so excited about my new bike and can't wait to use it in some upcoming posts. I went with the Decanter from Charge as it has that amazing vintage style but has all the pros of a modern bicycle, and it is British designed!

I also recently purchased THE Zara skorts (in more than one colour) and they are going to be a staple in my wardrobe this summer ... Along with my bicycle!

Team with amazing flats and some cute knitwear for the perfect look.
