Time to shine

Gosh, it has been some time since I have made a post. Fear not friends! I bring news of a recent purchase - this lovely vintage necklace. I'm going through an accessories phase so this fits the bill perfectly. I'm going to layer this with other jewels & add sparkle to everyday outfits on dull winter days!

Falling head over heels for...

Anja R and Kurt G! Perfection personified!

Lusting after….

I had a lovely evening at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester last night. My Wardrobe & Harper’s Bazaar hosted an exclusive fashion event, an opportunity to browse over the new season collections and get insider tips from the Bazaar fashion team.

I came away relaxed after a great paraffin wax hand treatment from the chic Sisley ladies. I am certainly going to pop into House if Fraser and see what other delights they have in the gorgeous skincare range.

So, I am now ready for the new season, and I need these pieces to complete me!

Are ankles the new body part du jour?

Having spotted the image below on the street style website StreetFSN a few weeks back and more recently coming across this photoshoot in i-D magazine, I noticed that people seem to be neglecting the neck in favour of the ankle when it comes to wearing a silky scarf!

Never one to shy away from a trend, this left me wondering if the streets of Lancashire are ready for such inventiveness – but of course they are! The challenge is set, I will try my best to re-create this look very soon!

In the meantime, I will rifle through my scarf drawer (yes I am an old lady I have a scarf drawer!) and bring out some of my neglected beauties.

Totally Chyc!

Classic but not too extrovert! I love this ‘Chyc’ black bag from Yves Saint Laurent. I have put it at the top of my birthday wish list. Granted, my birthday isn’t until January but at least I am focused on what I want!

I am looking for something that is timeless in its styling, not too expensive (mummy & pa are buying!) and overall something to love forever!

I think I just found it!

Chunky Knit – yes please!

I must say, I am rather loving all the textures & chunky knits as seen in this recent Vogue Paris publication (via the very wonderful whowhatwear blog).

I hate the winter months, when you are so cold that you can’t move (I hate being cold!). This look solves all those problems, layer up in super style! I have never quite mastered the art of layering, but with this as inspiration I am going to give it a good go come winter!

Finders Keepers

Take a look at the crazy but ever so fun Cacharel jumpsuit I purchased whilst on holiday in Spain. I will unleash this jumpsuit to the world on a night out very soon. I am a little scared by the colourful print, clashing spots and ruffles combination but i'll give it a go!

Jump up, jump up and get down!

Fruity delight

Most recently I got this cute fruity print make up bag from Primark and a small leather bucket bag from a car boot sale. I will pretend to be a Chloe girl when wearing this newby piece - a girl can dream!
