Think Pink!

Dusty pink is set to be the hot colour for autumn/ winter this year, making a prominent appearance on the catwalks at London Fashion Week.

Mulberry 

Here's some of my top pink picks from the high street at the moment. These are great pieces that can be worn in the remaining days of our summer but can also be carried through to autumn/ winter.

Topshop £34

 Mango £39.99

 Dorothy Perkins £35

Zara £59.99


Topshop £28

If the Mulberry coat is out of your budget than this Ted Baker one is a perfect cheaper alternative.

Ted Baker £299

Mulberry's show made me want to skip summer and snuggle up in their collection.

So the whirlwind that is London Fashion week is coming to a close and I thought I would share with you over the next few days some of the pieces and shows that I just can't get out of my head!

I am a massive fan of Mulberry and find myself coveting most of the collection time and time again and this season is no different.  The textures and layering looked effortlessly thrown together, although some of the layers are a little on the chancy side for a curvy girl like myself I still found myself drawn to the Aztec Zig Zags and Inuit style fur layering.  But the stand out pieces were the shocks of tangerine that lifted the chancy furs and flashes of metallic that took those cosy winter looks into something much more luxurious.

The contrast of textures in this look made it a real stand out...

The vibrancy of this dress just sings and when contrasted with the furs you can seeing it being a big feature in many an editorial spread...

This is the look that is most transferable to my lifestyle and one that I will be recreating with my current AW clothes as it looks so effortless.

Also keep your eyes peeled for the new Del Ray bag which is out in May.. It looks rather special...

Birthday Bonanza

I am sooooooooooooooo sorry for the lack of blogging over the last 2 weeks I would love to say that it has been because I have been so run off my feet, which I have but it is more related to the fact that Tuesday the 16th was my birthday and I have been eking out the celebrations for as long as I could.

On Saturday the 13th the celebrations started with a shopping trip which ended with a purchase in Mulberry followed by high tea at The Soho Hotel with my uni girls and the boyfriend, he was there as official buyer of champagne...

Annoyingly this is the only pic I have of the afternoon of gorging, this is me modelling a very handy gift from my friend Sarah, its a turban towel for your hair!

It was not the best afternoon tea in terms of cake and service but the company was amazing!  Then it was back to Essex for work on the Sunday and Monday morning, I have to keep my clients happy!  A crazy busy working day on the Tuesday my actual birthday but a blow dry at Cobella made me look less shipwreck and more serene for my birthday dinner at Scott's with the family and the boyf but not before present opening and Vino at my lovely little house! 

This is the gorgeous Mulberry purse that the boyf bought me......  I LOVE IT!

A mini photo call in the garden before heading off I love the dress my sister was wearing it is from M&S and looks so Roland Mouret galaxy dress!  I am wearing a Whistles dress and some lush Vivienne Westwood shoes (another birthday gift).

Annoyingly we were not allowed to take pics in Scott's but i managed this sneaky pic of my desert, it was the best meal I have ever had and will be returning once I have saved lots of money!

Check back tomorrow for part 2 of the birthday bonanza, not my birthday but a friends and some very interesting outfits!

I want these sooooooooo Bad!

I want these bags in my life and the fact that every where I turn I see them!  (I have been in Selfridges and Harrods bag departments a lot recently).  Makes It hard for me to carry on resisting!

First on the list and coming in the most expensive is this gorgeous Miu Miu Leather Satchel.  Isn't it beautiful?  And the noise it makes when you open and shut it makes me go a little weak at the knees (not the sound of angels saying buy me but the sound of the clasp).  But it is £809 and that seems a lot of money for something more trend than classic.

Then we have this classic piece of arm candy...  The Small Bayswater Satchel in Oak silky snake print, it is chic, compact and gorgeous and less money to part with at £766 its a saving in comparison!!!

But then from left field comes this cute little clutch... it has the sexy factor and the practicality and it even has that gorgeous clunky clasp sound that I love.  It is also a bargain and affordable at £315.  

The real question is this which do we think fellow bloggers and when should I buy?  Do I wait until I go to the USA in May or buy it now and potentially destroy my credit card by finding a new favourite bag in the time between?
