(Jacket: Iro, Top & Shorts: H&M, Cardigan: C/O: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Prada, Bag: Alexander Wang)

As soon as I get the shots of my outfit from day 4 I'll post them, but for now this is what I wore on day 5. Loving this booty-shorts-suit from H&M, and the softest black leather jacket from Iro (one of my new have brands) at My-Wardrobe.

(Jacket: Zara, Cardigan: C/O Urban Outfitters, Jumper: JW Anderson,

Jeans: River Island, Shoes: burberry, Bag: Alexander Wang)

I admit my outfits have been a bit lacklustre. I only had a couple of shows on Sunday, to which I was very much dressing for warmth. This is what I wore to the Louise Gray show at the Topshop Venue (very cold fyi). It was such an amazing show, and you'll love the pictures once I get round to catching up on my show coverage. Soz babes.

Lfw Outfit: Day 2

2012-02-19T15:29:00.001Z

(Vince sweater & M Missoni trousers C/O my-wardrobe, Acne shoes,

Zara jacket, Alexander Wang bag, drugstore beanie- ha!)

Yesterday was cold and raining, and by the time I dragged myself out of bed to get to Spijkers, it was over capacity when I got there. FML!

So anyway this is what I wore to stay warm(ish) in the cold. The last shot is by Jen, and I really can't remember what I was smiling about as I was freezing!

(Shirt & Jeans: C/O Urban outfitters, Jumper: Helmut Lang, Shoes: Burberry, Jacket: Zara)

I'm really not feeling it, and plus I didn't pre-plan outfits, so ended up in jeans. I might wear denim all week. Ha.
I forgot to take a pic of my outfit until I got home, hence the scenery.

Show shots to follow...

For some reason I love everything about this shot. How gorgeous does Carolina look with her florals, bright lips and side pony <3

I rarely buy shoes from the high street. Clothes yes, but shoes no. I suppose I disagree with most price-points for non-designer brands and really look for quality when it comes to accessories. Anyway, these boots are making their to me as I type- YES!
I've had my eye on them for a few months, but wasn't willing to spend £265 on them. No way Jose. Anyway, I got rid of my old Zara 'blogger shoes' (or the most wobbly shoes known to man) and traded them in for these- perfect for everyday and now less than £100!

You can find them here if you like :)

SAVE THE DATE: Charlie May AW12

2012-02-13T18:11:00.008Z

So excited!

Charlie (from the below post) is having her second womenswear presentation this Saturday 18th February.

I've mentioned her quite a few times on my blog, because apart from being a good friend she's an amazing designer.

The collection, almost a continuation of her SS12 range (but with a richer, more romantic colour palette) follows her very personal minimalistic style.

Whenever I ask her how she gets inspiration for her collections, she always replies 'I design clothes that I would wear, things that are missing from my closet.' Simple.

RSVP to: info@charlie-may.co.uk - see you there!

Lexxie. Charlie. Matthew. Michael.

Absolutely some of my fave people.

You know those two AbFab girls? Right.

Absolutely my 'go to' girls.

This is how I spent last Monday night.

Eating apricot bread with the chicest person to ever cook an aperitif (Lexxie), fawning over Charlie May AW12 samples, and dancing to the spice girls.

Adore.

Lately

2012-01-29T15:05:00.004Z

(Coat: Isabel Marant, Shirt: Zara, Trousers: Cos, Shoes: Burberry)

I'm so tired.

So this is probably my go-to outfit as of late- trousers, as opposed to jeans, wedges and a shirt. I wore it last Thursday to a digital talk at My-Wardrobe. The jumper is J.W Anderson AW11 I got 'off-shore'* on eBay, by hounding a seller (I know my bad) after seeing it at the sample sale and not buying it. The coat is Marant. I pined for it for ages, got it and then saw this one and really wanted it instead- figures. Not really much outfit inspiration as of late, I'm not sure what I'm loving really atm apart from peplum. Hmm...

Have a great week :)

*seen on eBay, bought out of eBay, tut tut.

Obsessed.

(Sweet) eBay finds

1. Vintage Moschino sunglasses

2. SS08 Chanel wedge boots

3. Vintage Moschino trousers

4. Vintage Moschino 'cut cat' bomber jacket
5. FW08 Chanel 'light bulb' boots

If you didn't already know, I religiously scour eBay for amazing vintage finds. The wedged boots have been way high on my wish list for YEARS. They're also my size... someone's in trouble!

Acne SS12 Cruise

Feeling a little embarrassed about posing this actually. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I was not so much a fan of this collection when it showed last year. But upon browsing their website today, I've now decided that I love (almost) everything. Maybe it was the styling, or the over-layering that didn't blow my socks off, but now I must have all these looks.

Naturally.

Today I'm wearing

2012-01-17T16:02:00.002Z

1. Zara, 2. Cos, 3. Alexander Wang, 4. Burberry

Well not exactly.

Today I've been at home doing boring admin-y things. But this is what I wore yesterday. Why on the floor you ask..? Because I'm still have no luck photographer-wise, and it's too cold outside to play tag with my self-timer. In other news my skeleton jumper came. Best day ever.

Prada suede platforms.

If you follow me on Twitter you'll know that these are my dream shoes. These and these.

But anyway, I treated myself to these just before Christmas, after being hooked up by my girl Josie.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

2011-12-28T10:24:00.003Z

I know this is about three days too late, but it's still the season, no?

Hope you've all had a great Christmas... I've spent way too much time over-indulging and way too much time away from my blog. But sometimes it nice.

Anyho, as it tis' the season to be jolly, I thought I'd spread some festive cheer I found over on Bryanboy (don't judge me) ... and if for some reason you don't find this funny ~~you are insane~~ don't judge me.

Here's how to pronounce some of those designers and other brands that may have had you tongue-tied:

PROENZA SCHOULER

GIORGIO ARMANI

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO

GIVENCHY

L'OCCITANE

...and I've saved the best for last:

HAUTE COUTURE

For these come SS.

Black (re-issued from SS10) preferably.

Make it happen Celine!

Urban Outfitters SS12

2011-12-08T12:00:00.000Z

Popped into Urban Outfitters SS12 press day last week. Probably one of my have press days so far; with copious amounts of crops (ding ding!) prints, metallics, tie dye and 90's-influenced pieces. I've got my eye on the printed maxi dress, with thigh slits (from their designer collection) *dies* and the silver booty shorts (obvi) <3.

One Day Shop

2011-12-08T11:21:00.003Z

Tis the season to (queue in the cold, act like a crazy person and) reap copious discounts off designer brands... tis sample sale season! I've recently acquired both Acne and J.W Anderson pieces at ridiculously marked down prices- hahahahaha *dracula voice*. But anyway before I digress, the ODS is another that you should definitely check out:
