Jump in...

Whilst shopping on the rainy high streets of London, I've realised that there seems to be some confusion over the appropriate attire for this weather. Luckily the jumpsuit is perfect for the transition from winter to spring. Here are a few of my favourites, some of which are great for layering. Add cardigans, snoods and cute socks to stay warm and wear with buckle sandals and a soft leather jacket in the spring.

Happy Layering!

Wanglasses

It seems as though Mr Wang can do no wrong at the moment and with the eminent launch of his new Sunglasses collection, it's obvious that this summer he will be on our minds as well as our faces!
Alexander Wang is the latest designer to collaborate with Linda Farrow. His Collection will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Luella, Giles, Matthew Williamson and Dries van Noten.

Ranging from £180-£200, I predict that theses shades are going to be major this summer.
My fave? Well it has to be the gold attention- demanding winged pair! Something about them screams OWWW!

If theses are a little out of your price range, you can always channel Mr Wang via Topshop. At the cheap and cheerful price of £18, they will have you feeling closer to him in no time!

Buckled Beauty

I'm loving all things with buckles right now and I believe that only good can come of this obsession, as it only helps me to fuel my utility agenda!

Look at what's slipped through the shoegasm net? Only theses AMAZING Jeffrey Campbell Wedges! I know what my first purchase will be when I arrive in NY!

Clever Clogs...

That's right, clogs are back and there are fiercer then ever!
This time round clogs have a more mature look to them, trading in the flats for a chunky heel and the powder pink suede (yes, i know you had them too!) for black, brown or beige leather.

AAAMMMMAAAZZZINNNNGGG!

If you do feel like donning a pair of Netherlands finest, do it via the medium of Chanel. These clogs are major and just what you need to welcome in the Summer! OWWW!

New Years Fashion Resolutions= Erm, Fashilutions?

As we bid adieu to 2009 and welcome 2010 with open arms, there’s one thing that we all do but never stick to… The New Year’s Resolution. The resolutions we make are usually constructed around the antics of the previous night ie; I promise to give up alcohol, stop giving my number to strange men or my favourite, stop giving my number to strange men whilst under the influence of alcohol! ;)

I on the other hand have decided to come up with fashilutions, allowing myself to be content with all decisions concerning fashion by the end of 2010.

Check out my list…

1. Continue to tell the people I care about if they look a hot mess

2. Make sure I am ALWAYS looking fierce (even on my day off!)

3. Update my blog more often

4. Not to deprive myself of any fashion purchases (no matter how long I must save up for it)

As for no.4, well I plan on putting it into practice right away. My first major purchase of 2010? A gorgeous Chloe doctor’s bag! Although it’s priced at a womp-worthy £825, it must be had… This bag is too amazing!

I will be updating with a pic soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FASHIONITES! XOXO

Top 10 Trends of 2009

"In difficult times fashion is always outrageous" Elsa Schiaparelli

After just about surviving the recession, I couldn't have said it better myself.
This year saw the introduction and return of many ridiculous/amazing trends. If you told me 5 years ago that I would be wearing leggings that looked like jeans, I would have thought that your breakfast had been laced with crack. But here I am, wondering how I ever lived without them!

Here are my top 10 Fads/Trends that have brought joy to my life one way or another... Which is your favourite?

10. Embelishment- This year I have loved all things embellished. Be it sequins, beading or metal studs. If it was on it, I had to have it. My favourites have to be my gold dress from Beacon's closet and of course this Giles AW09 embellished skirt. The fact that I helped to make it may have something to do with it though... ;)


9.Power shoulders - This look was great because it added a bit more drama to what would normally be a simple ensemble. Kate Moss is looking fabulous as usual in Balmain...


8. The Cut off Tee- If you ever needed a reason to go on a diet, this was it! This look had me taking a pair of scissors to almost every t-shirt I owned this summer. It also had me eating less carbs and doing 20 extra sit- ups! Glad that's over...

7. It's like that dream where I realise I'm in my underwear... I was never brave enough for this look, but admired those who were. We have Dior to thank for this one with the AW09 couture collection.


6. Your bic razor, or mine? Although style icons Alice Delall and Kelis sported this look a while back, Rihanna made this look popular with every teen (and grown woman) taking razors to their heads in a bid to look more like the songstress. Not one of my favourite hairstyles but it did provide me with a few giggles.... Oh dear!


5. Jegging, Leggings, Treggings, etc - Being a woman with a *clears throat* rather prominent derriere, one can understand my plight when searching for a good fitting pair of jeans. To put it simply, jeggings/leggings saved my life! That's all...


4. Ankle boots- Love love love ankle boots. enough said.


3. Glue on your face- Nothing has made me chuckle more than the sight of glue on lace front wearers faces! I understand that women want to look like Tyra and Beyonce but really... really? sort it out!

2. All Black Everything- My favourite look of the year. Given our financial status, wearing all black was the best way for us to show how we were in mourning for our once robust bank accounts.

1. Mesh- I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when I think about mesh. Methinks this is something that is gonna stick around during spring... Mesh = Major! Owww!
