Black Military Blazer from Miss Selfridge

Image
The military trend is always IN and for that reason this blazer is a must. Every year Miss Selfridge release the best blazers and the time to get yours is now. I've played it safe this year (and every year) as I've opted for the classic black - but this particular blazer comes in 4 colours. Why black? Firstly it's classic, second it matches everything, third of all it really dramatises the gold button detail AND it's for work so needs to be durable for the London hustle and bustle. This jacket is just adorable with the double breasted front which actually only does up with one of the buttons. It's fitted which I really love.. Miss Selfridge always have them fitted which I find adds a more feminine touch to a classic look. The jacket is fully lined and looks more expensive than what it is. I am so excited to swap my Barbour for something lighter and smarter for work and what with the sunshine we have already had and a lot more to come it's the...

Oversized long sweatshirt with poplin sleeves from Zara

Image
Currently - on trend are jumpers that appear to have some form of shirt attached to it and I LOVE it!! Especially this one purchased from Zara as its soo differently and yes I lov bring different... It needs to have a wow factor otherwise it's just another jumper to the collection. I was just a the counter when this beaut jumper caught my eye and I ran, got my size and threw it into my pile, Why did it catch my eye? The colour - it looks so fresh. The combo of the crisp white poplin sleeves against the mink jumper. I love neutral colours and this is perfect to wear during the transition of winter to spring. The second reason was the fact I saw some bits dangling off of it and yes I love stuff like that. Either it makes it more girly or adds a hint of "fashionista" - turns out the dangly bits were the ties rouching the poplin sleeve. Does it look dramatic? Yes! Do I need it. Yes! It's mine. Due to bad weather and other outfit choices I haven't te...

Tiger Brooch (Gucci dupe ) from H&M

Image
 I am super excited to share this find from H&M. Have you heard this year in the Chinese calendar is the Rooster? WELL in the world of fashion and Gucci it's the year of the Tiger.. Which I absolutely love. In fact last year was also all about Gucci and Tigers and I spent a while frantically looking for a tiger brooch. I looked everywhere, online, in shops and I even attempted to search for a tiger brooch at a vintage fair and I had no such luck. Until a couple of weeks ago I stumbled across this beauty! I love this brooch and so did my mum so we both had to get one. It's gold, black and full of sparkles that makes it eye catching - every box ticked. This is definitely a Gucci Dupe at its best. How would I wear it? Ooh well with a white crisp shirt at the collar (I did this last year with various other brooches) it really adds something different and can immediately transform your look. You can attach it to jumpers with a cluster of other brooches ...

Carissa oversized diamanté choker jumper from Bowsboutiques.com

Image
I'm totally choker obsessed this year... Like most  people and Bowsboutiques.com have recently answered my prayers. A jumper with its very own choker which I am crazy about. This one is called "Carissa oversized diamanté choker jumper" Recently I am finding I am absolutely loving oversized everything because I just feel so comfy. This jumper is great because you can really dress it up or you can also dress smart casual. I do love a dual purpose jumper. When I wore it I wore skinny jeans and riding boots but there's nothing stopping me from wearing them with skinny jeans and a pair of heels for a casual night out. The neck detail is so eye catching with diamantés which gives it a silvery twinkle when the light catches it. Such a beautiful touch. Reasons to purchase this beauty? 1. Comfy yet stylish. 2. Eye catching neck detail which means you don't need to accessorise as much. 3. Oversized style. 4. Available in 8 colours. 5. Good va...

PRIMARK retro 70s floral print shirt - Excellent value for money

Image
New season, new clothes....but this time I'm talking workwear. I love being creative with my workwear, recently I have added ribbons and brooches to up style old shirts and whilst I am loving creativity and the looks I've  created, I fancied something a little more loud. Recently we have seen embroidery and gingham taking over the high street shops and I have been craving something different. PRIMARK... Is where I found this gorgeous chiffon shirt.. I picked it up and knew it would look fab with all black and touches of gold.. There I was ...sold, it's mine. Looking into the details it reminded me of the pyjama look that is hot right now, where the top has black piping around the Edges it definitely resembles the look. It has material attached to create a stylish bow, pussy bows are a massive hit, I'm bow obsessing atm. I chose size 8 - this material /look is meant to hang off you... so I was pleased the 8 looked great as I am usually size 8 -10 in tops....
