FORTIES FEVER

Jalouse Oct 2011 via Honestly WTF?

After a few months indulgence in my second (some may argue first!) summer, a day of rain has me back to winter wish lists.... Miu Miu's amazing ode to forties fever for AW11 has my vote! Since my pennies won't stretch to the original though, cash friendly catwalk copies will have to do...behold lovely things from Topshop, Zara, Miss Selfridge, New Look, River Island and Ksubi!

I WOULD IF I COULD......

Have been feeling the inevitable shopping itch of late and so have opted for scratching it in a purse friendly, virtual "I would if I could" method instead..... not quite as satisfying somehow, but it'll have to do!

FIX UP LOOK SHARP

H&M Magazine

Shop the trend at Topshop! 

Been channeling my inner geekoid with a virtual wardrobe selection from Toppers today...am feelin the need for a pair of these Chelsea boots so bad, even though I'm not allowed as I'm heading for warmer climes in a few weeks - BOOOO!... but YAY to future sunshine! 

OBSESSION: WHITES SHIRTS, RED LIPSTICK, LEOPARD & CAMEL

Casting my eye over recent work outfits I fear I've developed an unhealthy dependence on white shirts, black trousers, red lipstick, leopard and camel!!! Note to self: mix it up!

FAVOURITE UNNECESSARY ACQUISITIONS OF 2010....

Having begun the New Year with a new blog, I've decided to devote my first post to a retrospective love note on things coveted and then claimed in 2010!

Topshop leather look leggings, denim shorts & stripe lace top, BikBok spotty shirt and bowler hat , H&M khaki shirt & lace vest, Dorothy Perkins camel trilby and black wedges.... all other bits are charity steals.... 

MOST WORN AWARD GOES TO...

Perfect pressies: big ring from H&M,  small ring from Mum, Harmonica a gift from the Beau!
