They definitely kept the best till last at Rock en Seine. Sunday night saw us get absolutely hammered dancing to Brody Dalle, Lana Del Rey, La Roux, Kavinsky and the all mighty Queens of The Stone Age! But before we ventured off to the festival we took in the sights of my local area- Montmartre. God I love the Sacre Coeur. To say I wake up in this area never gets old. I really love walking around here and it was so nice to share it with my brother who always wonders what I am always talking about when I come home and spill the Parisian gossip.

As you know I LOVE this gingham dress from Topshop. I've blogged about it before in a previous post and just could not wear this in Paris. As you can see I did change my shoes. I went from gleefully running around the Sacre Coeur in Ancient Greek Sandals to be truly debaucherous and running from stage to stage in my beloved (and only 2 days old) Saint Laurent Fang sneakers! Plus an add of a floral hairband (vintage) and here I present a 2 ways to wear one outfit in the same day. 

As it was the last day at the festival and a Sunday we did take the opportunity to drop all necessary things off to the apartment which meant me and the boyfriend shared a tote bag. I absolutely loved the freedom of running around with no bag (of course he carried it!) it did make me more mischievous and we ended the night singing and skipping home…of course the repercussions of a hangover were not thought about! But hey we enjoyed it and we revelled in having a lovely hangover breakfast at Cafe de Flore (Seriously I recommend the Baileys espresso as a hangover cure!) and a spot of shopping in Saint Germain. Ah Paris I love you.

Summer Breeze

Oh wow, I didn't realise that I had fallen so behind on my outfit posts! But hey it's better to have them out there than to not post them right? I cannot express how obsessed I am with this Topshop skirt. When I first saw it on the advert campaign I didn't think it would be a skirt that would flatter my huge hips but when I saw it in the shop I had to give it a try. The print was too mouthwatering not to give a chance. I ultimately knew that the matching bralet wouldn't be a go for me so I left that to the more adventurous and smaller boobed Topshop girl! The skirt and me immediately bonded in the changing room and I strode out happily beating the wide hiped gods! I knew this would be the perfect outfit to wear for the boyfriends birthday because it is an easy dress up-dress down kinda skirt. Plus it embodies the whole SS14 Dior look! I know that you'll see this skirt again in the winter paired with a crisp shirt!

It was easy to know straight away that I would use my Celine Trio in lipstick to match the skirt. I have been a Trio fan for a while now and I cannot emphasis how brilliant they are and perfect for day to night looks. Plus the practicality of them is perfection. I definitely recommend adding one of these to your handbag wardrobe. 

My Eiffel Tower sandals from Charlotte Olympia are still going strong! If someone had told me last year that I would wear these so much, I would of tried to find a second pair. As shoes that have been worn to death go, I expect these to last one more summer before having to take its place under my bed to rest for special occasions. I will not dwell on their impending retirement. I won't. 

You all know how much I love my Dior sunnies. These have been my go to all season and probably forever, This even counts for my Chanel Paris- Dallas pieces. This necklace is currently my favourite along with my giant silver one from the dallas collection. I always check jewellery in Chanel and evaluate their vintage value in the future. Not all Chanel jewellery is a good idea post season.

Miu Miu SS14 Future Pieces Event

Evening all,

I am writing my blog from the incredible comfort of my friend Gaspard's sofa in Paris <3 Oh how i do love Paris in the winter, and especially at Christmas. The lights, the ambiance, people still sitting outside  smoking in their down jackets. Ici C'est Paris as they say. I am here for my own works Christmas party and my friends record label party too. Can't complain can I?!

Sorry for such a late post, work has been all consuming, but last week myself and my boyfriend had a lovely evening with Miu Miu celebrating the SS14 collection. Not only was the event a preview of pieces from the runway, it was also a chance to buy pieces now!!!! Yep all those incredible print coats and lace up knee high boots available for one night only to take home for exclusive customers.

I have been a Miu Miu girl since I was 14. I have always been dedicated to the brand and was excited to be invited to the party at the Flagship store on Bond Street. More importantly excited to see pieces up close and personal and order the key pieces I wanted (sadly the pieces available to buy on the day were 38 and 40!!!). SS14 is all about the swinging sixties and revisiting prints with a sixties twist. Swoon.

How amazing are the coats? I cannot wait for the cat print coat it is so me. 

I am not a huge fan of real fur, but these Fox fur stole's exclusive for Bond Street were absolutely dreamy. Especially the red one which matched my Celine Skaters. 

The bead work on all the pieces is absolutely divine. The beaded dress were either the 2 sizes available in store or made to order for Spring/Summer drop in February 2014.

One cannot fault Miuccia. The woman is a genius. She captures women's silhouettes perfectly, she manages to perfect colour pallets and knows what bold colours go with the most soft tones. Is it any wonder she continually reigns as international designer? I am not the biggest Italian fashion fan but Miu Miu and Prada set themselves so high in the Italian fashion world that they are practically French! Let us not forget that Miu Miu is the last big show in the fashion calendar shown in Paris...

I have to say i was sad i was unable to walk away with anything, but i put my name down for some incredible pieces including the cat coat and the cat flats. I love cats!

 My Outfit

Top- Christopher Kane

Jeans- J Brand

Cardigan- Faux Leather Sleeves Zara

Necklace- Bijoux Parisian 

Bag- Celine Trio

Shoes- Celine Tartan Skater.

I loved my outfit for the evening, the Christopher Kane T-shirt was a dream find in the sample sale. My cardigan is one of those "I wish i bought 2" purchases from the christmas sale last year, it's so versatile and give a nice black cardigan an edge. The necklace is one of my samples from my new business which will be up and running next year. I love this piece it has stopped so many people. Lastly my shoes…OH THESE CELINE'S!!!!! I actually thought they were a fashion myth. I searched a fair bit for these bad boys, and alas they were waiting for me in Harrods. They are uber cool but super young. I felt like a hipster in them, they are definitely my style but i think these skaters have to be approached with caution for many people they aren't for everyone! 

Here is the collection is the Miu Miu SS14 collection in full: 

I would love to hear your thoughts about this collection and Miu Miu.

Thanks for reading guys.

Lots of Love
