'Dem Parisian Vibes

I cannot express how much I love these 2 books at the moment. As told by wonderful Parisian friends, I do not need a book to tell me how to be a Parisian wherever I am because I am already one. The best compliment ever, especially from  REAL Parisians! But hey! I wanted to support my style crush, favourite person in my Chanel family, Caroline de Maigret and her amazing group of girlfriends who are lending all their tips to every woman out there that is interested in embracing that Jane Birkin attitude.

The book isn't just a how to be, it is full of funny quips, tips, friendship, the perfect dinner table conversation (with a matching menu to accompany it), how to have a successful affair oh and how to turn men on with a simple Burberry trench. That's right, no longer will I envy the Charlotte Gainsbourg wannabes in my clique, I WILL BE THAT WOMAN!

I genuinely couldn't recommend a more chic and funny read for my little fashionistas. 

I also wanted to share with you the amazing new Chanel Art book which is due for world launch in mid October. If you can remember back in October 2013, the Spring Summer 2014 show was all about the artistic Chanel girl. The set was full of amazing art pieces which have been documented in this book. It is a must have for any coffee table book collectors/ Chanel fans. I'm very lucky to have my copy before launch and I am proud owner of a first edition too. Each piece for me is so special and I love looking back and remembering my memories from the days leading up to the show and the day.

I love this look, I really think my style adapts all the time. My current obsession since early this year has been duster coats. I wanted a nice thick one for autumn, something I could wrap up. This trench duster is my dream jacket. It's a gorgeous length and cut beautifully. Thank you once again Monki.

My Mansur tote has been the best addition to my bag collection this year. Thanks mum and dad for this! I knew I wanted the tote after buying my bucket bag in March. I wasn't however sure if black was needed in my collection, but as any person looking for a Mansur Gavriel knows, it is hard to find the bag in the first place so I cannot even imagine the stress my parents went through to get this but all I know is Net-A-Porter were a fantastic help. As for my doubts, completely out the window. I love this bag so much it's hard not to use it when it is perfection.

The Chanel Dallas sneakers are just the cutest. These capture the collection perfectly, on top of that it really adds a pop to any basic outfit. Ive noticed with Chanel sneakers the best style for myself is low tops to show off my skinny ankles. These in the high top were cute but god I am so glad they weren't in my size because these have made me so happy. They stand out for themselves in my ever growing sneakers collection. 

Thanks for reading guys.

Double Denim Days

 Happy Friday!!!!

The sun is out today and I am sitting at my desk excited for the working week to end. I am extra excited to leave work today because tonight me and the boyfriend are off to see The Arcade Fire at Earls Court. A much needed relief from a hard week. The Arcade Fire are one of my favourite bands. This will be my 4th time seeing them and I know they won't disappoint (Kinda hoping they will get David Bowie out!) especially as my Parisian friends saw them at Le Zenith in Paris and haven't stopped talking about the show.

I absolutely love this outfit post. We did this shoot the weekend of my best friends wedding. You wouldn't think I had a hangover right?

I cannot get enough of the Dior SoReal sunglasses. Honestly. Favourite pair in my collection

I absolutely love this shirt from Monki. I bought it in the grey denim (wearing) and a dark blue denim also. It has to be two of my most worn shirts in my wardrobe at the moment. I love the simplicity that comes with throwing on an oversized denim shirt. Double denim is always tricky yet seriously chic. Simple is perfection and definitely shows you can make a great outfit with essentials.

My beloved Chanel Espadrilles how I've worn you to death, weather can never stand in our way. 1 of 10 currently in my possession, these were the pair my boyfriend Alan bought me for Xmas last year. I love how easy espadrilles are to wear and the comfort factor is a plus. These pair have travelled a fair bit, these came to Kuala Lumpur with me this year which can only mean they are top of my favourite list for versatility. 

The best thing about living in East London is we are surrounded by some beautiful places. We live a 10 minute walk from The Olympic Park. Perfect for walks, runs and photo shoots. Of course this was just one of the areas surrounding the park. I highly recommend visiting the grounds. It is a nice break from a busy busy London yet still only in Zone 3. 

If you follow my Instagram Feed you'll know that I bought my Mansur Gavriel bucket bag (in butter) from Net-A-Porter at the end of March. I have to thank the NAP team for being amazing and putting me on the top of the list. The time it took for me to make an enquiry and the bag being available was 3 days. I am so in love with this bag i genuinely didn't think I would love it this hard. The colour is perfect for summer tones and is definitely wearable in the winter too for a pop of fresh attitude. It is light and tres durable. I got you right? The only problem is, it is prone to scratches a quality that is factored into the making of the bag and the general aesthetic of the nature of the leather and look. There are ways to avoid the bag from getting scratches through protecting it with wax and nano spray. Over all I cannot wait to hunt down the tote version, hopefully in the oxblood or the black.

I also present my new baby Fur Monster Alfonso. Thanks to Fendi, I was given a choice of some beautiful little Fur Monsters from the new flagship store on Bond Street. We bonded immediately, his hair is wild and out of control like mine, his eyebrows are supper bushy…mine are getting there. I didn't think I needed one of these lil babies in my life but I'm glad I was given one because now it's hard not to put on my bag! 

I bought this hair braid from Hershesons a week before the wedding as it was perfect for my wedding outfit to make my look extra girly, cute and romantic. I have now taken to wearing it a lot more, especially as it makes my hair look thicker…tricks of the trade ;p
