Pink Boucle Jacket / Oversized Bow Blouse / Faux Fur Collar

Hello all!

After gazing longingly at my ever-increasing collection of 'spring clothes' piling up on my curtain rail (or what I like to refer to as my 'new in' rail - who needs to actually be able to see out of their window anyway?) I decided to reject this vile weather and embrace the fact that it is now officially spring by repelling the snow and brightening up the world with some pink. 

This sleeveless blouse is a new addition and now, a new favourite. (Although I do feel I look a bit reminiscent of an Easter Egg with my giant head perched atop an oversized bow...)

Jacket / Shoes : ZARA. Blouse : French Connection. Faux Fur Stole / Trousers : Topshop. Gloves : River Island.

I panic-bought this blouse on Oxford Street at 10o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, when I was due to be participating in a styling challenge for 'More!' magazine at 11o'clock. For once, I cannot blame my lack of organisation and bad timekeeping, but instead I shall point my rather disappointed finger at ASOS who failed to fulfill their promise of 'next evening delivery'. Meaning 1. I spent the evening before gazing out of the window waiting for my parcel with sad puppy eyes (you may suggest I should have created a plan B... no! I reject plan B. I only settle for plan A.) and 2. I had to style an entirely new outfit on the morning of the actual event. Uh-oh. In the end though, it all went as well as it could have gone and I'm looking forward to sharing the results with you in April! 

Monochrome Shirt / Silk Ribbon Hat / Pleated Leather Skirt

Hello all! 

I must begin by apologising yet again for my inconsistent day v. night photographs. Our English winter evenings are driving me quite mad, as usually I'm able to get away with taking half of my photos at 11am and the rest at 6pm, but not anymore. Now you know my secret.

I cannot praise this pleated (faux) leather skirt by Lashes of London more highly. My first, trusty version of this skirt has been well and truly shunned in favour of it's better-fitting, better-looking replacement. Contrary to most skirts/shorts/trousers in my size, it fits my waist perfectly and I've already worn it about six times since receiving it a week ago - which for me and my vast wardrobe is truly quite a feat!

So, I hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas already! (Although I must admit that our Christmas Tress isn't even up yet... uh oh.)

Boucle Jacket / Collar Chain / Metallic Paisley Skirt

Hello all!

I must begin by apologising for my absence over the past week (you've all heard that before!) but as some of you may know through following me on twitter and instagram, I've been involved with Oxford Fashion Week since last Monday. In total there were 3 shows, so I'll be sharing my outfit photos from the events along with catwalk shots in the upcoming week, so keep your eyes peeled if you're at all interested in that! 

These photos are from last Monday night, where we kicked off the week with a champagne reception and a showing of Coco Before Chanel, in a lovely vintage-style cinema. Of course, with a major part of the evening being an homage to Chanel herself, I couldn't help but dress myself accordingly in a (Topshop lol) Chanel-esque boucle jacket paired with a black lace shirt and accompanying lion-head collar chain (inspired by the ravishingly beautiful Kelly of 'A Twenty Something'!) and my precious Chanel bag - it would've been rude not to!
