13.06.2011- Monday Must-haves

Hello all! Hope you all had fantastic weekends (despite the ever-changing weather!) and are enjoying the new week so far. Here are my Monday Must-haves for this week: Quite an unexpectedly Topshop heavy post this week, but some beautiful pieces have recently debuted online and I couldn't resist including them. I've probably owned a series of cream blouses with lace detailing since I was about 15 (including a beautiful one from Miss Selfridge which I recently parted company with as it was too big!), but this one from Topshop has well and truly cemented itself on my 'future purchases' list. I couldn't resist including the socks after seeing them in store last week, as they instantly reminded me of the old style school socks I used to wear (although I'm not advocating nostalgia as an excuse to splurge!) I've also been after a pair of tan ankle boots since last winter, and these are perfect- I love the buckle detailing. After seeing this skirt in New Look last w...

02.08.2010- Heading for the Fall...

It's only the second of August, but already some of the Autumn/Winter collections are hitting the high street. As usual, the British Summer weather isn't really up to much, and I'm already anticipating what I'll be buying to see me through the autumn and into winter. With that in mind, here's my list of top five must have pieces for your Autumn/Winter 2010 wardrobe: The Burberry Prorsum show, where Christopher Bailey showcased a flock of shearling jackets, is surely the show that has launched a thousand high street copies. I've already seen a few good imitations online and on the high street, and the Topshop flying jacket, despite its hefty price tag, sold out in a flash online. I'm loving the look of the Warehouse aviator jackets, and the ASOS version has a really authentic feel to it, with functional zips a plenty. Trousers are having something of a resurgence at present. Whether they be hareem, high waisted, chinos or peg leg, there are plenty of styles t...

11.06.2012- Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland

If you've been in London recently and have stopped by Karen Millen's Regent Street store, then you can't fail to have noticed their breathtaking new window installations, celebrating the work of Kirsty Mitchell . Three years ago, whilst still designing for Karen Millen, Kirsty began work on her photographic project Wonderland in tribute to her mother, who sadly died in 2008. Inspired by the stories which Kirsty's mother read to her when she was a child, the finished project is a culmination of her experience in design, costume and photography, and has produced a series of the most beautiful images I think I've ever seen: Aren't they stunning? And even more impressive when you consider the fact that nothing about any of these shots was manipulated inside a computer- all the props, set pieces, costumes and backdrops are completely real. I don't think I've ever come across more visionary work, and I'm only sorry it's taken me so long to discover su...

12.12.11- Monday Must-haves: The Christmas Countdown

My pick of Must-have Christmas gifts this week focuses on presents which fall under a £50 price tag. Whilst this array of gifts may be a touch more expensive than the under £20 picks I posted last week , I've tried to choose a selection of things which will last and which I think make for really special presents: Whilst this lovely little lot might appear more than a little make-up heavy, Christmas always feels like the perfect occasion to invest in some appropriately festive cosmetics! This gift set from Nails Inc. consists of three beautifully glittering shades, and at £25 is pretty good value considering that their individual varnishes retail at £11 each. The Chanel eyeshadow has become a really coveted product, and I think this shimmering white shade is gorgeous- the perfect luxury treat for a make-up obsessive or someone who needs spoiling this Christmas. This set of eyeshadows from MAC is another really great value item as the six shades which are included are really versatil...

Why The Business Humans Needs Both Extroverts And Introverts

There has been a big move close infolding lately. Introverts are reaching out of the press, paradisaical to hump why they're dissimilar, and settled to be bragging of their differences. And that's majuscule. But it ofttimes comes with a backlash against extroverts. Both extroverts and introverts are obligatory in enterprise, and in the reality as a object. Between these two types of fill, there can exist a unaffected component that is necessary for sainted working and fruitfulness. The text retract and extroverts are labels, and there are always problems with labels. They make the impression of housings people into activity and personal expectations that can be prejudicial to their ontogenesis and functional. Nonetheless, if misused aright, they can also be adjuvant. For instance, these labels don't necessarily touch to strict behavioral rules. Instead, they're active the strength guidelines and emphasis of the individuals. Introverts get their doe by beingness uncompar...

07.04.2012- What I Wore Today #18

Today my mum and I spent a lovely day at Kensington Palace . It's somewhere I've always wanted to visit, and the opening of the refurbished public spaces provided the perfect opportunity to visit a real jewel in London's crown (if you'll pardon the pun!) I'll be posting about the exhibitions in full when I've sifted through my many photos, but it was really lovely to discover so much about the palace and the amazing range of historical events which it has played host to. In typically British fashion, the Bank Holiday weather has so far proved predictably gloomy and overcast, so today I opted for something quite classic, comfortable and easy to wear: Top- Zara Blazer-ASOS Jeans- Topshop Bag- Urban Outfitters Shoes- Urban Outfitters Watch- Michael Kors c/o John Lewis Rings- Topshop I picked up this blouse from Zara earlier in the week and couldn't love it more. The lace detailing is gorgeous, and I really like the monochrome contrast. I'm normally really p...

18.10.2010- Days of Wine and Roses

Days of Wine and Roses is an exhibition taking place at London's Heartbreak Gallery until October 31st. The exhibition showcases work by Scottish artist Jack Vettriano, whose painting The Singing Butler became one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of art in the world after being sold for over £700,000 back in 2004. Vettriano's latest exhibition features a range of paintings which beautifully encapsulate the much sought after and much copied glamour of a bygone era: A Very Married Couple Portrait in Black and Pearl Morning News Lines of Beauty Not only do I love the composition and style of Vettriano's work, but I also really like the fact that he takes his inspiration from everyday events, such as reading a newspaper over a cup of coffee, or taking a train ride. The fact that his work in this exhibition is located firmly in the styles of the 50's and 60's also means that the exhibition is well worth a visit to pick up some ladylike wardrobe inspiration. To...

08.05.2011- Run To You

Whether you're looking to get a bit more active now the better weather has arrived, or if like me, you've been inspired by the lovely ladies over at Where Are My Knees to lose some weight and get fitter for the summer, this collaboration between Nike and Liberty is perfect for you. I have to confess, I'm not a massive fan of running (the idea of inflicting the sight of me, red-faced and out of breath on the general public combined with the fact that I live in an area which seems to be a favourite amongst the local merry band of winos means that outside running is pretty much a no-no!), but this lovely range of training shoes might just be the convincer I need to get a little bit more athletic. Taking some of Nike's most iconic trainer styles and adorning them with a variety of classic prints from the Liberty archive is certainly a great way to add a splash of colour and character to the average workout: Tatum Print Low Blazer, £68 . Kara's Trees Print Low Blazer, £...
