THE ATTACHMENT

I can't seem to remove them from my feet. Help. 

Back in my wardrobe! Here's what I chose today, my favourite roll sleeve tee from Topshop (a really great thicker style jersey essential) and khaki jeans (which ironically my best friend was also wearing today when I went to pick her up!). The Isabel Marant shoes are firmly glued to my feet now, (I may even sleep in them?); a girl's attachment with shoes sometimes takes over all practical choices and thinking; including wearing something that will make your feet blue within five minutes of being outside in the cold, but it's still worth it. Enjoy your Sunday evening everyone, i'm ready for pyjamas, tea, and Xfactor catch up (all in heels, of course.)

I was wearing:

Topshop Grey Roll Sleeve Tee, Topshop Khaki Leigh Jeans, 

Isabel Marant Kylie Pumps, Proenza Shouler Yellow Pouch

Aamaya by Priyanka Nazaar Star Bracelet, Bear Ear Ring from Bangkok, 

Red and white bracelets both Orelia

PANTS, PUMPS & PROENZA

On dressing in all your favourite things at once.

Dressed for dinner last night; I couldn't bring myself to go bare legged despite having purchased some 'pant-less' pieces recently (dresses, skirts, shorts, basically everything weather inappropriate) so I fell back in to my trusty super comfy PJ pants from Zara (might as well have gone pant-less due to the sheerness of the fabric and as it was -50 degrees outside) but oh well, they're always a winner and work with lots of basics in my wardrobe (see more PJ antics here). This Cos sweater is my favourite piece of all time, a navy light-weight cotton crew neck that sounds so basic but apparently is impossible to find; I hope they bring out more colours for the winter! As for the shoes, my latest loves; Isabel Marant's Kylie pumps which i've practically glued to my feet since getting them, the perfect statement shoe! (see more on that and cowboy heels here). Finally, the Proenza Schouler PS1 pouch; my first yellow accessory that has come to my rescue every time i'm wearing too much black/navy, (which is too often). Apparently wearing all your favourite pieces at once kind of works in a wonderful way! More on that tomorrow.

THE LAUNCH OF IRIS & INK

I was lucky enough to be involved with the Iris & Ink launch last week, the TheOutnet.com's very own new label! A collection of great trend-led essential pieces which complement the incredible fashion finds from The Outnet itself. Sometimes I find when you want that amazing embellished skirt or bright printed silk trousers that you have to have in your wardrobe, you also need the perfect silk t-shirt or the simple cashmere sweater to complete the outfit, and here is the solution! Iris & Ink provide just that; affordable, high quality, wardrobe essentials, which really do go with everything. Working with The Outnet's stylist Chloe, it was amazing to see just how many Iris & Ink pieces teamed up with so many of the branded statement pieces to make everyday outfits look so glamourous. I got to try on this amazing Iris & Ink leather top (a definite wardrobe essential for me!) with some 3.1 Phillip Lim leopard trousers and Jimmy Choo shoes (all available at The Outnet!) ....(click to read more!)

Below are my favourite pieces from the Iris & Ink collection that are available to shop online now, teamed with some amazing designer pieces from The Outnet. There are so many ways to wear the Iris&Ink sweaters; I found if you switch them with any of the other items i've listed below they still look just as good and are all completely different outfits! What do you think?

The collection launched yesterday, September 18th, exclusively on TheOutnet.com. 

Look 1: Christopher Kane Clutch, IRIS&INK Cashmere Colour Block Sweater, 3.1 Phillip Lim Skirt all available at THEOUTNET.com

Look 2: Proenza Schouler PS11 Bag, IRIS&INK Striped Cashmere Sweater, 3.1 Phillip Lim Leather Shorts all available at THEOUTNET.com

Look 3: Alexander Wang Tote, IRIS&INK Grey Cashmere Sweater, Alexander Wang Glittered Trousers,   
all available at THEOUTNET.com

SEPTEMBER ESSENTIALS

More reasons I love September.. transeasonal dressing! It is a fickle thing, fashion vs. english weather. I spend most of my time in the summer months wondering what on earth is appropriate to wear in the blazing heat when it will (most definitely) be pouring with torrential rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon, with the temperature dropping at least by 10 degrees after that. It also doesn't help that I love layering and my wardrobe consists mainly of knitwear! I can only hope over the next few weeks it'll be clear skies, with a cool temperature and no rain (yes I am completely delusional, but it'll help me in justifying more transeasonal purchases..)

What to start looking out for the Autumn/Winter? 1. The perfect coat. The most important piece in making an outfit. Yes I shouldn't be wishing away the nice sunny weather but I am also far too eager to purchase new coats with so many great styles in store already for AW12. This wool coat from the Topshop 'Premium' range is just what I have been looking for; it has that oversized, voluminous structure but in a more contemporary cocoon style that you can chuck over anything and it'll make the outfit. 

2. The printed L/S tee: A lightweight, long sleeve tee like these ones from Proenza Schouler's AW12 collection are perfect to wear under a coat or jacket without having to layer on the knitwear just yet. I am a sucker for anything Breton and the rust coloured 'mountain' style print is the perfect statement jersey!

3. The perfect white tee: An obvious choice, but you really can't go wrong. I love this geo oversized piece from Topshop Boutique, it may only be a white T-shirt but the structure of it makes all the difference.

4. The suede sneakers: Can you tell I might just be a little bit obsessed with Isabel Marant's sneakers? Ever since I got my hands on my first pair of Willow's at the beginning of this year the addiction  has simply got worse. They are so comfortable and really do go with everything that I couldn't find a better alternative. Whether you choose Bekett's or Bobby's or Boston's you won't regret it! They're gold dust at the moment with there having been so many waiting lists for them, so contact me if you are trying to locate a pair and i'll do my best to help!

5. The Black Bag: Show me a bag in 10 colours and I will almost definitely choose it in Black. I love this new Mulberry Maisie bag; I was never really sold on the Bayswater's (and even more so the Del Rey's), but when I saw this unusual beauty previewed at Dover Street Market, I loved the imprinted buckles and the mix of suede and leather. A much more contemporary twist on the usual leather Mulberry's! 

Where to get it? From Left to Right:

Topshop Premium Domed Sleeve Coat, Proenza Schouler Printed Jersey, Mulberry Maisie Bag, Isabel Marant Bobby Sneakers, Topshop Boutique Geo White Tee, Proenza Schouler Striped Henley Jersey.

#FNO

It's that time of year again! September is my favourite month of the year, (not just because it might be my birthday, but that helps.) but for fashion week which is fast approaching, and Vogue's Fashion Night Out in just two days time! Hurrah! For me, key places to check out this year have to be Liberty's with Jonathan Saunders and Roksanda Illincic making appearances and lots of in-store activities, and of course Bruton Street/New Bond Street for all the standalone designer stores.

Covent Garden is a must as well with the pop up Chanel beauty store! (Tip! Don't forget to look out for the pink Chanel London Cabs which will be offering free manicures in the new AW12 shades)

For the best information on where to go this Thursday in London, visit the FNO Facebook page which is regularly updating what will be happening.

What i'm wearing to #FNO? Check back later this week to see!

NEW SHOES

Yesterday, wearing my new favourite shoes; Alexander Wang beauties bought in the sale at 60% off at his store in Singapore. They are such a comfy height and are a great day to night shoe, I had to get them out yesterday when the weather was nice-ish and we were heading out for lunch! Excuse the picture quality, I had to settle for the iPhone camera after realising i'd left my SD card in my laptop; genius. 

Hope everyone is still enjoying the games as much as I am! Enjoy your day all. x

I was wearing: Cos Sweater, Zara Ripped Jeans (get similar here), Celine Sunglasses, Proenza Schouler PS1 Bag, Alexander Wang 'Nadia' Shoes

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!

iWISH

Cannot stop building imaginary wishlists online; they're such a great way of doing outfit builds and narrowing your options down to find that one great piece that you'll use with things you already have, and to stop impulse buying (which I hate doing, and always regret!)  My Matches and Net-a-Porter lists are on overload right now, here's one of my favourite outfits for this week. These clear sling-back Louboutin's are the perfect finish to a casual outfit.
