Chanel Earrings / Boucle Jacket / Miu Miu Sunglasses

Hello all!

Today, I thought I'd share an outfit which includes three new birthday pieces I picked up with my mother on my birthday-day shopping spree; a beautiful, black Zara boucle jacket with white flecks, military-esque silver buttons and the occasional bronze sequin, Miu Miu tortoiseshell sunglasses & my new prized possessions; a pair of gold Chanel earrings I recieved from my very generous and lovely Grandmother.

You might notice that the photos below switch from day lit London to the night time traditional garden setup - the reason being, the camera was running low on battery so I waited until I arrived home that evening to take some 'detail' shots.

So, I'm happy to say that the 'new in' section of my wardrobe is well and truly stocked up and I won't be doing any much shopping for the foreseeable future! (That's a lie and we all know it.)

Boucle Jacket and Bow Tie in Notting Hill (London - Part 2)

Hello all!

For the first of my few days enjoying the long Jubilee weekend around London, my lovely friend Bianca and I spent an absolutely gorgeous day in Notting Hill exploring, sitting in a street cafe sipping frappuccinos, lusting over the beautiful rows of houses, snooping around the markets and enjoying the local 'sights' (and there are definitely some interesting 'sights' to be seen - mainly involving who I can only assume to be the resident local mad woman throwing cake at pigeons. Yes you read that correctly..)

I apologise for the fact that you've all already seen this outfit before - but at the very least you can be assured from these photos that I do actually wear my 'blog outfits' out and about in real life! (There's nothing wrong with embellishment for the camera, of course - but we all know it's not unusual for some outfits across the internet to never leave the house/back garden!)
