Tangerine Dream

I was in London on Wednesday for the Mint Velvet A/W 13 press day and a lovely time was had (more on that later). I had to walk down Oxford Street to the venue. OH MY GOD .. seriously it's years since I have been on Oxford Street and I was like a kid in a sweetie shop. I had no plans to buy anything but couldn't resist going into Esprit. It's not a shop I ever buy from but from now on it'll be my first port of call when they have a sale - amazing. The colours, the styles, the everything is just so different to anything I have locally here. How come the Europeans know how to do colour so well?

I was immediately attracted to their jeans - every colour and size available in neatly stacked rows. I was looking at their cobalt blue ones and am now kicking myself that I didn't buy them too but they are available online so I think I'll have to do it. I was attracted to the shocking pink ones but then stepped slightly out of my comfort zone and picked up orange - I don't own anything orange (apart from some LK Bennet wedge heels I never wear).

For some reason I can't find the exact same pair online, I only paid £14.99 but these are similar.

So, onto the jeans - here they are. I didn't know how versatile they were going to be until 30 mins ago when I got everything out and played around. Here are a few of my looks and I could have carried on with more if I'd had the time/inclination (lazy blogger!)

All jewellery is from my new pop up shop which is going down a storm - I am so happy!

Have a look and let me know if you like any bits, the stock is low due to high demand! Buy online today from the Avenue 57 pop up shop

Necklaces range from £10 - £20

Scarves are just £10 each, tops from £10 and bracelets from £8

So now I have orange to my collection of skinny jeans - just need those blue ones!

What have you purchased lately that has taken you by surprise for its versatility?
