Flying into 2015

Happy New Year everyone!!!!! I know it's been ages since I have blogged but as a part of my new years resolution I am hopefully going to blog a lot more about my own style and brands I am loving along with trends. I know it is something I say every year but I have realised that I take so much pleasure in sharing my outfits on Instagram so why can I not apply the same enthusiasm to my blog?! 

I am obsessed with my new Isabel Marant Aviator jacket. It is so warm and comfortable, to top it off it has been on my list of things to buy since it launched at the start of AW14 so to find it in the sale at 60% was a true blessing! It was a no brainer to pair it with my Marant striped top and Sandro jeans because let's face it the French have always had the leather jacket looks down to perfection/ 

I love my ever growing Chanel collection especially these two pieces. It is always hard to call something my favourite in my Chanel collection when everything is. I am a fussy buyer (it may not seem it but I am) I have a mind of my own and like to be quirky or understated, so when I see people trying too hard I don't know wether as a stylist to feel offended or to turn away and put it down to a lack of imagination. I definitely feel 2014 was the birth of a whole new side of Chanel but this year with the impending Riot collection and Salzburg it's not gonna stop the ever growing fascination with Chanel. My trainers are from Dubai cruise collection, after being super fussy about the sneakers, in the space of 2 months I managed to rake up an impressive 5 pairs! These are my "light" pair (denim and white). The boy bag is my dream boy. I bought this is the summer in Paris, I wanted a velvet since 2013 so when I saw this in a rare size I knew it was worth the wait. It practically goes with everything. 

I hope everyone has been enjoying their first few days of the year!

The Plaid Express

Bonsoir from Paris! Sorry for the lack of love Christmas fever has kicked in!

Back in early October, myself and the boyfriend were invited to a lovely event at Isabel Marant. I have been a huge Marant fan for years and this seasons Étoile collection has been incredible. I really treated myself with this collection and walked away with 3 dresses and a leather jacket! This haul has to be my best this year. The pieces I bought are definitely forever pieces.

This plaid dress has completely taken over my life! No I am not being dramatic. It really has. I have worn this so many times I truly am getting my moneys worth. Even better, I went and bought an alternative colour combo as this dress is so light, warm and comfortable that I thought the red and black would be an amazing addition. (Days after I bought the Red and Black version, the oh so cool Anna Dello Russo was seen in Seoul wearing the same dress.) Of course I have to thank the plaid gods for being in fashion this season. I find it really hard to find a lovely and not a part time Plaid dress to add to my wardrobe so thanks Isabel for bringing these into my life. I cannot wait to blog the Red and Black version of this dress for you.

Spring Summer Sale Fever.

Evening everyone,

Oh wow, how amazing has the weather in the UK been this week? Honestly it is so refreshing to put on a pair of shorts, a top and some sandals rather than jeans and boots! My sandals are rejoicing. Yesterday after work was spent going for a run and walk with my man and today we spent after work working on some blog photos and eating ice-cream in a lovely garden in Mayfair.

Today was a very important day for the fashion bunnies out there…The sales have officially begun! Today Mulberry and Matches launched their sales. Next week will see Net-A-Porter and Selfridges launch their online and in store sales too. With that said I can happily admit I am already falling into a rabbit hole of overspending. As much as I seem like a shopaholic (which I am) I do know my boundaries, I know which brands go into sale and have a good eye for knowing if it will sell pre sale season. My key tip for sale preparation is to steer clear of buying things full price at the end of May/ start of June. Unless you know it is a sell out item wait! 

One sale I do like to wait for even when the products are launched is Mulberry. OK so their price mark has cheated us all, but at least the sale can get it back to a somewhat reasonable price. Since it's launch, I have had my eyes on the gloriously beautiful Suffolk and Bayswater Shoulder in Bluebell Blue. Sigh.

 Mulberry Bayswater Shoulder In Bluebell Blue- Was £1100 now £660.

Small Suffolk in Bluebell Blue- Was £1350 now £675.

I also love the Bayswater Shoulder in the Golden Yellow Shinny Goat and the Suffolk in the Midnight Blue Shrunken Calf. 

I have succumbed to the Bluebell bayswater. I really think It goes with my current bag aesthetic- medium bag, good compartments and and shapely. It truly has a modern Silhouette. I cannot wait to post photos of the bag soon. 

I also bought myself this cute hat. I find it hard to find cute and long lasting straw hat for the summer and festivals. This caught my eye online this morning pre heading into the store. The fit is perfect and it is so sturdy. I love hats!

Mulberry wasn't my only victim in my shopping crusade today. I finally got myself a pair of Toga Pulla shoes!!! As a lot of people know, first cut sale items on most website can't always fulfil your bargain needs. So you put it in your basket and wait, stare and hope it gets reduced further. This is something I do with Matches and NAP. I love a bargain! However…this was one I was hesitant about. These boots are so awesome, Toga shoes in general are awesome. My first choice in my size sold out which made me order my second choice.

Choice 1- Patent Textured ankle boots- Toga Pulla. Was £360 now £180. 

Choice 2- Cut-Out-Mesh-Insert Shoes- Toga Pulla. Was £320 now £160.

I feel the second choice are so much better for what use I can get out of them as I know i will be taking these to Paris in the Summer for the Rock En Seine festival. They can be worn with socks or bare feet! Perfect for a festival! 

I already feel myself slipping into a very very expensive month so I am gonna try and resist looking. I know however my need and lust are 2 separate things so like the Christmas sales I will 100% think about my sale purchases.  

Here are some more of my hot sale picks:
