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!

Knit one purl one

Move over friendship bracelets because new on the block are these knitted bracelets from Marni, they have me counting down the days until autumn arrives! These beauties are going straight onto the AW11 wish list – available online at Net a Porter in case you were wondering!

At £125 they are a little pricey - I feel a little DIY experiment is in order, i'll bring the wool - anyone know how to knit?!

We'll knit more!
