Double Denim Made Easy

T-Shirt: Madewell
Skirt: Zara similar
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

Sandals: Tomas Maier

I'm always a little worried about trying out the double denim trend as, outside the fashion world bubble, there is a serious risk of ridicule - queue the 90's and Britney jokes... So although wearing denim shirts with your favourite Levi's may well work outside Somerset House during LFW it's not so easy to pull off in every day life. So I've come up with a bit of a solution, the blue (NOT denim) t-shirt! This basic tee from Madewell is the perfect shade of blue that allows you to try out the double denim trend, but without really doing it. Playing it safe but in a good way :)

What do you think? Are you a fan of double denim?

It's darling...

 

Bag: Liibeca by Joy Gryson

 

How lovely is this little blue bag?! I really want to start incorporating more navies and blues into my wardrobe for autumn/winter as I always think it looks classy and tasteful whatever you wear it with.

Valentines Day Gift Ideas

Ok ladies Valentines Day is around the corner and if you haven't already been dropping hints then now is the time! I'm sure no man would object to the idea of this beautiful lingerie or, if you're trying to set the mood, these Diptyque scented candles would certainly do the trick.

They're not really that romantic but I've fallen in love (see what I did there?!) with these really cute elephant cushions by The Rise and Fall and they worked really well with this collage wishlist!

 

Clockwise from left:

1. Maison Close Bra

2. The Rise and Fall cushions

3. Journelle PJ set

4. Diptyque Noisetier scented candle

5. Diptyque Baies mini candle

6. Threshold Accent Table

What are your plans for Valentines Day? I'm not big on the cutsie fluffy stuff so an evening of nice dinner and wine will suit me perfectly. 

 

Thanks for reading, outfit posts will be up tomorrow (weather permitting!).

Current Lust List!

Coat: Here

T-shirt: Joseph

Bag: Whistles

I am completely in love with this Whistles clutch! It's a pay-day must have I've had my eye on for a while. I ordered these Topshop slip ons last night because I am lusting after the Celine ones but these are a purse-friendly alternative - definitely something I will wear through the Spring/Summer.

Loving Leather

As much as I love summer and the glorious weather, what makes going in to Autumn and Winter bearable is the fashion. AW clothes are fantastic! You can layer, make a statement with an eye-catching coat and don't even get me started on the boots!

This year a trend which I am so happy is on-going is leather, leather, leather! I can't get enough of it and my wishlist is full of it.

What do you think of this week's leather picks? (Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I've been AFK for a couple of days).

Clockwise from left:

1. Black Tee: Topshop

2. Bracelet: Topshop

3. Trousers: Tibi

4. Tee: Rebecca Taylor

5. Quilted Skirt: ASOS

6. Dress: Marc by Marc Jacobs

I personally am I big fan of the pink skirt, you might see that one on the blog soon!

 

Have a lovely weekend!
