August 28th, 2012

SUPER busy day! I have basically spent nine hours talking about shoes..... I never thought I would ever say it, but I am shoed out!

Outfit consisted of my fav jeans, new blouse (more on that tomorrow), an old Urban Outfitters blazer and some ancient Dune sling bags.

Tuesday Outfit of the Day

Back to work! I love bank holidays but it's always so hard to go back to work.

 

This is really embarrassing. Every item I wore today (including shoes and bag) are from Zara.

Let's never talk of this again.

Friday's Outfit of the Day

The end of last week was pretty busy hence the tardy outfit post. Thursday saw me have a day at home with my mum - lunch, gossip and tea (perhaps there was a glass of wine in there too...). A truly lovely day. In the evening I caught up with some of my fabby friends from my old office. Apologies but there are no pics to accompany. I was already running late and had no time to snap!

Friday's outfit called for a bit of leopard print. To be honest I was feeling a bit down in the dumps so didn't put much thought into it.

Blouse - Zara, Jeans - Zara, Cuff - ???, Bag - Rabeanco, Scarf (on bag) - Christain Dior, Pumps - Ruby+Ed

We had a really fun filled afternoon of eating out and celebrating the gorgeous Ms Edward's baby shower. My guess is a girl - 6lb 7oz!

Wednesday: Outfit of the day

Just a quick update as I'm meant to be heading out for a run. More to come later.

Shirt - Super Dry, leather skirt - Mango, pumps - Ruby+Ed

Tuesday: Outfit of the day

I bought new shoes at the weekend. EXCITEMENT!

Technically they're a naughty buy because I have been on a shopping 'lock down' until I get paid. However, after doing a stellar job of convincing Mr M they could "totally be 'everyday' shoes" I thought it best to wear them out at the weekend (a girl come over to compliment me on them) as well as to work today to prove my point. They received an appropriate level of admiration from the girls in the office too which made it all the better. New shoes new shoes I love new shoes!!!

Shoes - KG Kurt Geiger, jeans - Zara, vest top - H&M, jacket - can't remember.., bag - Rabeanco, scarf (on bag) - Christian Dior

Monday: Outfit of the day

Monday's tend to be more a 'comfort day' for me... Not entirely sure why. Perhaps it's because I'm still relaxed from the weekend, or even a bit tired from trying to do too much in two days..... Dunno! Today's look is 'nautical caj'!

Jeans - Zara, shoes - Sebago, vest (just seen) - Zara, top - Ralph Lauren, bag - Chloe

Today's outfit - In the red

This weekend was spent doing the family thing and was very laid back and relaxing. I spent most of the time wrapped up for walking around town and standing on the rugby sideline cheering Mr M on (whose moustache is coming along nicely BTW - photos will follow I promise!)

Here's today's outfit of choice - sometimes a slick of red lippy and nail varnish is all I need to feel a bit more pepped up when the weather is so dull.

It's the first outing for my trusty black over the knee boots. They are sooooo old and I desperately need to replace them. I had them shipped from Chinese Laundry about three or four years back after seeing Serena on Gossip Girl wearing them in grey - yes I am that sad! The red sweater is a French Connection piece from two years back and the blazer is my Urban Outfitters Chanel esque number.

The make up was inspired by the beautiful Scarlett Johansson in the new Dolce & Gabbana lipstick ad. Her lip is a bit more glossy than my Bourjois Rouge Dress Code lippy. Not sure if they still do it but it's been my fav red lipstick of choice for a long time now. What does everyone else do to brighten up their look on a dull day?

Tuesday's Outfit

Quick outfit post because I'm just heading out. This is my outfit of choice on Tuesday. The leather jeans are new and I loooovvvee them. Paired with my 'popcorn' jumper and chunky boots makes them more appropriate for daytime wear. However, I think a flatter pair of black ankle boots would be an even better match.

Leather can look a bit cold, so I threw on my long wool winter coat too.

The pics of my jeans haven't come out great so I'll re-post some better ones soon.

Laters!

Today's Look

This will sound insane but sometimes I literally do dream about an outfit and this was last night's conjuring - an outfit I've never put together before.

The blouse was a recent purchase from Dorothy Perkins of all places. I absolutely love the detail and it looks just as good done up to the neck or undone to show a sneak peak of decolletage.

The cigarette pants are from H&M last year - I fell in love with them because they reminded me of a pair of ski pants my mum used to wear in the 80's with a slouchy knit (guess I take my taste in clothes from her!).

My Chanel esque jacket is LUX from Urban Outfitters a few years back. And finally the shoes are absolute killers from Carvela.

Feeling very Karl Lagerfeld - now where's my shades and gloves da'ling!
