A few of my favourite things

New to my online shop are some gorgeous pieces.  I've taken one of the asymmetrical tops for myself and one of the aztec cardigans #perksofthejob.

I love how boutiques are popping up all the time and I know that Avril  my blogger buddy from School Gate Style does a great line in scarves and jewellery too.

These items need no further introduction, the pictures speak for themselves.

Most stock is added to Facebook first and then into the shop. If you want to be first to see what's new then hop on over and give the page a like or send me an email if you want to be added to the newsletter.

FREE UK delivery. I do also ship internationally - see store for details

Do you buy from Independent boutiques or do you favour the high street? I like to mix it up and buy from both.

Discount code Seven Boot Lane

I've been after a pair of navy ankle boots for a very long time! So when I was asked by Seven Boot Lane last week to review a pair of boots - yes please and thank you very much!

I was very torn between what I needed and what I loved;

NEED - Navy ankle boots

LOVE - Suede beige ankle boots

Gok for TU - he's back in the room

When Gok Wan first launched a collaboration with TU Clothing it was very well received. It was brilliant in terms of style/quality/design and price. And then (IMVHO) it went off the boil and I struggled to find a single item that I like/loved/desired.

He's just released his latest clothing line (must be about his 8th or something now?) and it's brilliant!

Totally in love with the suede skirt which is a take on the £200 one from M&S earlier this year. Also loving the bold prints and colours.

THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST. When I gush about something I gush and it might make you think I've been paid or gifted an item - I have not.


Gok Multicoloured Floral Mini Skirt - £25

Gok Tan Suede Button Through Midi Skirt - £30

Gok Cream Colourblock Jumper - £25

Gok Tan Longline Biker Coat - £45

Grey Varsity Bomber Coat - £40

Gok Orange Printed Pussybow Blouse - £22

I eye spied these beauties too from the standard TU range

Brown Leather Riding Boots - £55

Camel Textured Stitch Maxi Cardigan - £22

This has all the women talking on the Facebook group - it's amazing!

Pink Maxi Cardigan - £22

Grey Chunky Polo Poncho - £18 (I have this in cream from last year, I LOVE IT)

What do you think? Supermarket chic or supermarket sweep and move on?

Brand Discovery - Sandwich Clothing

The lovely ladies at Gemini have a wide range of brands in their shop and online. I've met the ladies behind the shop and have spent a fun day last year with Donna from I Won't Wear Sludge Brown on a photoshoot.

A brand which I became aware of last year and keep seeing more of is Sandwich. It's a Dutch brand originally and they say "Sandwich designs highly wearable fashion with a twist. Our clothing can be worn every day, but is never ordinary. You’ll recognise the Sandwich twist in our surprising cuts for example, our use of fabrics or our one-of-a-kind prints."

Here is my pick of the best via Gemini. The yellow scarf is amazing. Imagine that over a breton with a nice blazer and jeans.

Boucle Long Cardigan Coat

Denim Dress

Snuggle Jumper

Yellow Scarf

Vintage Look Jeans

Have you heard of Sandwich Clothing before? If you want to see a wide range of their clothes, free delivery over £75 then head on over to Gemini to order today.

White jeans in Autumn

I love white jeans but rarely wear them. Don't know why because when I do I love them!

Quickly shoved on white jeans today because it's summer like weather but I can't be bothered to shave and tan my legs #scabbylazybitch

Here are some ideas to recreate my look


Wrap Jumper - House Of Fraser

White Jeans - Topshop

Ankle books - Seven Boot Lane

White jeans in Autumn/Winter? I say yes!

Don't forget Avenue 57 has a pop up shop and is available to view on Facebook!

Grey ankle boots

I went away this weekend to the British seaside with 2 of my girlfriends. We had no plans other than to drink and eat. We did very well at those two activities.

We saw

We ate

We drank

We wore

Wanted: Fringe Boots

I was short of time on Saturday so literally walked past these, stopped, turned back, stared at them and cursed my lack of time for trying them on.

I'm surprised they're as expensive at this - it's Next we're talking about. They're usually very good at keeping prices lower but I'm surprised by the £68 price tag for a pair of fashion ankle boots (fashion meaning they're trendy now but who's to say they will still be next year?).

Ginger Suede Fringe Boots - £68

Other places to buy tan fringe boots?

New Look - £59.99

Office - £75

Matalan - £25

Saw these Ash Jalouse look a likey's too - £52

Miss KG via John Lewis - £95

ASOS - £50 (LOVE THESE)!

Dune - £99

Fan of the fringe?

THE best wrap/cape ever .. or is it?

Last week the ladies on Avenue 57 were all in a frenzy about this 'amazing' cape/wrap/shrug knit thing from Tesco.

It started with this picture

Helps that Tanya is just gorgeous and stylish anyway. DO NOT talk to me about how stunning her hair is .. just don't OK?!

Then that picture above lead to these below!

And on the real model (This cape is only £16 by the way)

MY OPINION

I got mine yesterday. I picked it up, I tried it on, I put it down. And repeat 3 times. In the end I asked the ladies on Avenue 57 what they thought and before anyone had responded I thought sod it, I'll buy it, take it home and see if I love it even more there. So it's sat on a hanger waiting to be loved because I don't love it right now. I just wanted to look like Tanya and I don't!

I got the M because they didn't have S and I think it's too big? I also didn't intend to share this photo so apologies for its crapness. It's ok, it's a bit itchy scratchy due to the wool blend, it has a funny leather trim too it that you can't see and I think it'll annoy me as you don't wrap it around your body and there is no fastening mechanism so it just hangs and I fear it might fall off and just slip down and generally bug me!

To cape or not to cape, that is the question?
