OLYMPIC GEAR

The London Olympics have finally begun! It's actually so exciting; the city is really buzzing from it and it's great to see all the support for Team GB playing in their home country. I managed to get a glimpse of the women's cycling in Knightsbridge yesterday (it really was a glimpse.. you don't realise how fast they're actually going!!) And despite the rain people still came to cheer them on, umbrellas-et-all, love it! Here are some of my favourite pieces right now, all of course inspired by the current events! Which is your favourite look? You can shop them all below!

The moment has finally arrived! A huge thank you to Findmeamuse who brought this to my attention; For all you Marant fans out there you can now order the Fall-Winter 2012 collection on Luisa Via Roma, in particular the much coveted Bazil Sneakers. They're selling out so fast so get in there quick! My favourite pieces from the collection have to be the embroidered tops; another sought after piece that'll be sure to sell out. Enjoy! x

I've been looking for some sneakers for ages, so when Isabel Marant's 'Bekket' sneaker came out last year i had my eye on them all the way through to the new 'Willow' version for ss12, which i finally caved for and bought last week. It comes in a number of colour-ways, but i stuck to my instincts and went for the all beige ones as i thought they'd go with more. My favourite part about these shoes is the 3 inch hidden wedge, its such a practical shoe and yet still gives me some height, hurrah! They're a great day shoe that will take you from autumn right through to the summer; as shown in the Matches Lookbook they even look cool with shorts and skirts, (although as its 2 degrees outside i will be firmly sticking to skinny jeans for now!)

I also need to say a big thanks to Mandi at findmeamuse blog who helped me locate a pair of these in my size (as they were sold out within hours!) check out her blog for more Isabel Marant pieces i can only dream of owning!

Have a good day everyone!
