These are a few of my favourite things....

I can't stop wearing these at the moment! The coat has been so warm through these winter months. I love the boots, they make a satisfying jingly sound every time I walk. The bag from H&M is surprisingly roomy and I can fit all sorts in.


Fringe Bag, H&M

Boots, Carvela

Fake fur coat, Vintage.

What pieces are you especially loving at the moment?

Looking forward to Spring...

The UK is just about got over its cold spell (although more snow is apparently on its way) and so I'm looking forward to Spring fashion. Being able to shed a few layers will make a welcome change.
There are many changes for Spring this year and the styles that are in will lift those winter blues.

We saw lots of pastel shades hit the catwalk in September, as many designs shied away from the leather and studs of the past year. They gave a more ladylike manner to their clothing and had some beautiful colours showing throughout. The fabrics were delicate and sheer. It almost looks good enough to eat!

Something that's a little more affordable:

£45, Urban Outfitters.


Prints were all over the catwalk in September, and they came in all varying shapes, sizes, and colours. There were lots of geometric looking prints, take Alexander McQueen above. Florals are still not going away... but instead of opting for the small dainty florals from previous seasons why not take a leaf out of D&G's book and get something with oversized florals.

A cheaper alternative:


£11 ASOS


The statement jacket for this Spring will be the military flak jacket. Maybe you have something from a previous season as we have seen this trend a few years ago. However these designs seen above have a modern twist. Team yours with some leather look leggings, like Balmain above.

And again:

£60, Urban Outfitters.
