Les Miserables and my Wednesday wish list!

Evening everyone!
Happy hump day! How's everyone doing? Can it be the weekend please?
Tonight me and the boyfriend went to watch Les Miserables and my word it was everything I was expecting it to be and more! I have read the book and seen the production a crazy amount of times (not as much as the boyfriend!) and this was just beautiful! Eddie Redmayne, Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman really stole the movie! Anne and Hugh especially! I would love to see them win an Oscar!
Today I wore....




Jumper- Topshop
Shirt - Topshop
Leather skirt - River Island
shoes Dune
Coat Maje
Scarf Louis Vuitton Sprouse
Bag Chanel maxi
So today's Net-a-Porter drop was just so mind blowing I considered getting a loan out just to dress in head toe Saint Laurent
So here is my mid week wish/list list! Feel free to buy for me ;)












Saint Laurent stripey blazer- £1885 (love this whole look and keen to emulate it soon!)












Saint Laurent Chain trimmed leather skirt- £1505








Marni red sleeveless leather coat- £1060 (I wanna wear it like a dress!!!!)








Miu Miu cropped candy pants- £340








Carven leather biker jacket- £1260 (this season carven is proving to be my weak spot!)




Isabel Marant powder blue bayley sneakers £370 because having the red bayleys just isn't enough ;)




Acne Mape cropped leather jacket- £1000








Marni mirrored leather pumps








Christian Louboutin intern studded calf hair and patent loafers- £695












Marni colour block patent leather sandals- £430 I think these will come up high on the list as I can see myself wearing them a lot in our not so summery summer to come!
I hope everyone's having a fab evening! Until next time :) thanks for reading!

Isabel Marant obsession continues....

Evening guys!

How's everyone doing?

So before Christmas I was on a mad hunt for the new season Isabel Marant Bayley sneakers....or the new Bobby's in a splash of colour (last year I was so slow and didn't get online in time for the cobalt blue and red) So this time I was prepared, I have a ritual of checking Mytheresa, Net a Porter and Matches, I out my name down on the waiting list in Harvey Nichols too!

Lo and behold, Matches delivered, 1 am in the morning I purchased my red, white with blue star Isabel Marant Bayley.....and my sister ordered the purple Bobby sneakers! Christmas came early I'm the Akhtar residence!





These are now my 3rd pair (addicted much?!) I have the black bekkets and the taupe khaki Bobby's. I wouldn't mind another pair of Bobby's....I sound insane but they are so wearable and so comfortable and for a person who hates heels the hidden wedge is a dream and i Can wear them all day.

With all this grim weather I haven't had the chance to wear them (I really don't want to get the white parts dirty) so this week was the first time I wore them...




Galactic Jumper- Topshop
Jeans- Topshop
Bag- Chanel

I would like some nice dry weather now because I am obsessed....here are some more of the colour variations and style ideas for the new Marants....



























My sisters Bobby's




















































God I love Ashley Madewke.....STYLE CRUSH!!!!! Big things for this awesome actress this year! Loved this girl sice Secret Diary Of a Call Girl

What do you guys think of the sneakers? Are you a fan?

Thanks for reading guys :)

New year, New start! Hello 2013!

Well it's 2013 and Blade Runner, Minority Report, Looper, Back To The Future were all wrong! Where are the hover cars they promised us? The touch screen world, the sky high escalators? We're lucky if there's no delays on the tube! But hey ho, we made it (much to the Mayans dismay) and I am determined to make it a good year!



Like everyone today my New Years resolution kicks off with me vowing to blog at least 3 times a week on all the things that go through my head! I have been a very very lazy blogger recently and really want to change this especially as I'm about to finish my application to St Martins!

So that's New Years resolution 1. Blog frequently

2. Eat healthy. No no, not diet! That is a forbidden word In my vocabulary!

3. Join more clubs and activities. I have been eager to try Bikram yoga last year so I want to get that going in the next few weeks! Anyone interested in joining me let me know :)

It's not a big list which I think is wise! Easy to hold onto them ;)

It was mine and my boyfriends 4 year anniversary :) so we spent it together, a 3 course meal cooked by my man and drinking woohoo! It was a lovely evening followed by a lovely day flittering around the shops and a nice lunch (my treat!)

So these were the lovely gifts i had for my Christmas and anniversary from Alan.....I am one lucky girl :)





Black and Gold Chanel pumps, Assouline Chanel books and The Hollow Crown

How did everyone spend their New Years? I hope everyone had a good night!

Valentino shoes to call my own!

Evening lovelies!

How's everyone doing? How's everyone's weekend been? Mine was lovely, came back from London yesterday to my nephews causing chaos and baby Daniyal chewing on my Shakespeare ducky and Zaki snooping through my bags for Christmas presents (he was unsuccessful and his Ben 10 watch is still in it's amazon box!)

This week was a busy week full of work, fun and dream purchases!

So if you follow me on twitter you'll all know I've been searching high and low for the perfect colour Valentino Rockstuds for over a year now. They've been on my radar since they launched! I even want the kitten heels! At £545 for flats and £600 for kittens you wanna hope they are exquisite and perfection! Well they are!




Being a size 41/8 is a curse! Usually most boutiques get 1 in that size (Especially Chanel) so looking online was hard, constantly sold out. London only has one boutique on Sloane Street and Harrods and Liberty are the only department stores to stock them. When I was in Paris, I had no luck there either!

So last week I called the boutique just to check and I was one lucky shoe whore! Winnie, the best sales assistant in the world, kept the shoes on hold for a week!!!!
So being the wonderful friend and shopping instigator I am, I dragged the beautiful Doreen along with me (great way to start our lovely day out) and tada! A pair of Valentino's to call my own!



(A shop at Valentino= a fabulous lunch at Nobu accompanied by Vanilla and pear cocktails!)





The wait was definitely worth it :) I have a lot of outfits planned for these cuties! They're overly excited to head to the Valentino exhibition at Somerset house with the ladies!

Here are some Celebs who also love the rockstuds from flats to heels...



My girl Alexa Chung


Caroline Sieber





Olivia Palermo proving I can have more than one pair ;)




Emma Stone

Now me thinks I need the clutch and handbag to match right ;)

What do you guys think of the shoes? Which height would you go for, flats, kitten heel or stiletto?

Thanks for reading :)
