Knightsbridge in Full Bloom.

Afternoon guys, 

I'm sorry everyone for the lack of blog posts, with the World Cup starting and work being very busy my evenings have been full of impromptu naps and the other half screaming at the TV. FUN!

 I absolutely love this outfit post. This Topshop dress has become one of my go to dresses since buying it. What's even cooler is I bought mine before Alexa Chung was seen in it. Mwahaha. I've also had some amazing comments about my denim jacket. I was very lucky with this buy. I bought this denim jacket from A.P.C when I was in paris with my dad in 2012. It's still practically like new, and I wear it all year round. I have to say investing in good denim isn't just a myth made up by bloggers and stylist pushed to promote denim brands. Nope. If you get a decent jacket you'll enjoy it for a long long time. I would love to get this length denim jacket in a black. 

Alfonso enjoyed the day out too. I never thought I would say this but I would love to get another one of the Fendi Bag Monsters. They are so cute and have such character. Currently Harrods have some limited edition ones to celebrate a Fendi fun fare popup in the store. 

Yep, I wore my favourite sunnies the Dior SoReal. I cannot get enough of these. I love them.

We spent the morning at the V&A The Italian Fashion exhibition. It was a lovely day so we decided to walk to Harrods (where we had lunch at the  Prada Marchesi pop up restaurant which accompanied the Prada exhibition in store) and explore the gorgeous streets of Knightsbridge. It is 100% my dream to move to the area, specifically in one of the coloured houses please. Imagine the daily outfit pics. 

Dream houses <3 i="">

The black and fuchsia Chanel ballerinas are just amazing. Bought in the Chanel sale in January, I can't believe how much wear I've had out of these. They are the perfect quirky black shoes, to jazz any outfit up. My addiction to Chanel ballerinas will never end. 

The heart Chanel necklace, yep I've featured this before but I really think it is my favourite necklace. It's so romantic and cute. I've found recently that a lot of people have been asking about it. I always feel guilty telling people I bought this in 2011 but my advise to people is to always check out Chanel costume jewellery for the quirkier pieces that will sit well in the future. 

Oh god, I seriously have to say, my Chanel backpack is one of my favourite buys this year. I have had amazing use out of this. Yep it is laced in controversy regarding the price etc, but I feel like a lot of people are quick to judge people for spending 2k on a handbag yet they have their own vices. I love it, I use it, and it is so comfortable.

Dior So Real

Hey guys,

For a while now I really wanted a cool pair of round sunglasses. I already have an impressive collection of round sunnies: Miu Miu, Ray-Ban and Prada.

So it begs the question: Why would I want another pair? Well when you love a style you stick to it. Let's face it, being a woman it would be a crime to have an unhealthy sunglasses collection.

Enter the Dior So-Real sunglasses AKA- Love at first sight.

Birthed from the Spring Summer 2014 runway show, it was inevitable that they would  be an absolute cult hit amongst the fashionista and the blogosphere. I love the ad campaign with Stella Tenant, I think she's the perfect ambassador for the new shades.

It was also Rihanna, Eva Herzigova and Olivia Palermo who debuted them during the AW14/15 Dior  show in February.

 

 

The sunglasses are a touch of vintage meets futuristic, the echoes of Raf Simons image for Dior. As described by Dior:

"Vintage in inspiration and yet totally futuristic with their architectural lines and black mirrored lenses, The DiorSoReal sunglasses are the light and elegant promise of a couture summer."

The frames come in 4 ways:

1- Quarter Mirrored Tortoiseshell. (Havana- £325)

2- Fully Silver Mirrored. (Crystal Black- £290)

3- Black Quarter Mirrored. (£325)

4- Classic Black with Silver Bridge. (£325)

I settled on the Havana pair as I always think the tortoiseshell effect compliments my skin tone. 

The DiorSoReal are available in the Boutiques and online Here.

Here are some lovely alternatives to the Dior ones:

Cloud Blue Sunglasses By Jeepers Peepers- Topshop £18

Mike Brow Round Sunglasses- Topshop £14

Asos Round Sunglasses with Metal bridge (Mirrored)- £12

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
