Peek-a-Boo!

Spring is finally here - hurrah!

And to celebrate, I'm treating myself to this rather cute pair of peep-toe shoes. Ideal with poofy, midi-length skirts, and skinny jeans alike.

Ooh! Big Cat Clucth

Cool clutch bag from ASOS! Look!

You know me, I'm a sucker for a bit of animal print, so naturally I'd be drawn to it....but, cool nonetheless. 

(Major) Ooh! It's the ooh la la tee...

You can imagine...it was love at first sight, when I stumbled, browsing My Wardrobe on an evening, across the Ooh La La tee.

Sonia (if you're reading) I want it so bad, it hurts!

Ooh! Swinging Sixties Shift...

Isn't this sixties shift dress cute? I'm picturing it worn with woolen tights, stacked heels and a neon cambridge satchel (like this one here).

You seeing it too? ...YUP. That's one awesome, little look you've got there.

Ooh! I'm Crazy about this Cushion...

HOW COOL IS THIS CUSHION??! No, really. 

It's one big knit, chunky hunk of a thing, and I want it in my home now!

Ooh! Fifties Frames...

I've booked myself a holiday in March, so I'm beginning to scout around for some high-summer stuff already. Top of my list: sunglasses, and these fit the bill perfectly.

Loving the 50s look! Pink Ladies, anyone?

Ooh! Bird is the Word...

There are birds on these printed trousers. BIRDS, I TELL YOU!

As you can tell,  I think they're absolutely ace. It goes without saying, but keep the rest of your outfit minimal, yeah?

Ooh! XOXO...

Forgive me, it's Valentine's day coming up, so the perfect excuse to talk about the lovey dovey stuff. And whilst, I'm not one for flash gifts, or cuddly toys, this keyring I will accept...

(BF- if you're reading...)

 

Ooh! Super Space Boots...

If money were no object... I'd own these metallic ankle boots. I just WOULD.

They're Acne. And they're ah-ma-zing.

Don't you agree?

Ooh! Brighton Paper...

Love, love, love this Harlequin Brighton wallpaper! 

Jazzy, isn't it?

Ooh! Bluberry Muffin? Hell yeah.

Having a lazy Sunday and this seemed topical(ish).... 

Whilst my tummy's groaning for some sweet treats, this blueberry muffin nail varnish will satisfy my hunger for some candy-coloured nails.

(See what I did there? Yep - it was muchos tenuous, agreed)

Ooh! Magical bit of Wall Art

LOOK! IT'S A UNICORN. Made out of cardboard. That you put on your wall. 

How bloomin' exciting!

Ooh! Biker Blouse...

Love this! Cool print, and a flattering wrap-around style to cinch you in at the waist (and goodness, what girl isn't up for a bit of that?).

Plus, awesome name: the biker blouse. What's not to like?

Ooh! It's blue Monday...

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist pulling out something blue to oggle at... it's my favourite colour OF ALL TIME (good friends can vouch for my obsession), and it is blue Monday, afterall... 

No need to be down in the dumps, when you've got this Cambridge satchel slung over your shoulder though.

Ooh! A bit of Acid Wash

It's hard to get into a skirt in the winter, isn't it? So I'm making a conscious effort to get my nylon-clad pins out during the baltic months. Starting now.

This acid wash denim skirt is a no-brainer - great for now, and perfect come spring too.

Ooh! Lamé Love...

I tell you, there's sill some right finds in the MyWardrobe sale! 

Take, for example, this Tara Jarmon lamé top - striking layered underneath heavy knitwear, and equally as cute with shorts, come spring.

Ooh! Can't beat a batwing.

I'm such a sucker for a batwing dress. Like, really, REALLY obsessed with them. There's something beautiful, and inherently stylish about them, don't you think?

All this needs is a gold, statement necklace.

Ooh! The New Season Heel

I know, I know, it's freezing out there...and these sandals definitely aren't practical right now, but - I'll admit - I'm already well and truly caught up in the new season fashion hype. 

So when it is vaguely bearable to get my tootsies out, I'll be sporting this zingy pair of heels.

SO THERE!

Ooh! The wow jacket...

It's not often you stumble across something that stops you dead in your tracks, but my-oh-my, did I have one of those moments today...

I mean, just LOOK at this embellished jacket!

(It's MW, naturally)

Ooh! A Purdy Skirt...

It seems a shame to abandon maxi skirts, just 'cause the sun's not shining, doesn't it? Ladies, let's make a vow to brave them this Winter too.

This purdy skirt caught my eye 'cause it's a double layer dream! Just imagine it paired with a chunky knit, and some sturdy leather boots...

Ooh! Beaut Blouse...

Just stumbled across and great, little site - 18 and East, selling lots of vintage, and new-vintage-style clothes like this cute-as-pie, pin tuck blouse. 

And the best bit? Their stuff doesn't cost the earth...

Ooh! The Notebook...

Like every second gurrrl on the planet, I'm a self-confessed stationary geek. Fact. 

So, no surprise then that I got a tad excited upon stumbling across Liberty's Edenham print notebook (SO COOL!)

It'll pretty up my work desk, no end...

Ooh! Buckle Up...

Spotted: these Dorothy Perkins buckle heels.

I'm made-up 'cause I've been looking for a pair like these or some time now. Practical enough for the office, but statement enough for a night on the tiles, don't you think?

Ooh! Dip Hem Mini...

Often the best investment buys - the kind that really stand the test of time - are the simplest. 

Step forward oh-ever-so-subtly dipped hem skirt...it's a real steal at just £30 from Awear.

Ooh! Geek Chic...

There's always a place for a touch of geek chic, isn't there? 

Look at this awesome little necklace I found on ASOS! I'll race ya for it...

 

Ooh! The Luxesack

I can't get enough of rucksacks at the moment, and whilst I love to carry around those canvas kinds, I'm really taken with this idea of a luxesack - a premium rucksack, if you will.

Nice, isn't it?

Ooh! Winter White...

How about this lace t-shirt dress for a touch of winter white? 

I'd wear with my waterfall leather jacket, and statement berry bobble hat. Oh, and biker boots would finish it off nicely!

Ooh! True Blue Skirt

It's boxing day, all the sales are on, and I'm madly scouting the internet for some wise buys. 

This Marc by Marc Jacobs denim skirt is £78, down from £195. Nice, huh?

Ooh! Bold Bobble

I've been on the hunt for the perfect beanie for a while now (I have a really small head - it's not an easy task), but I believe I've found it. 

This one's the neat, snug kind that'll actually sit on your head, rather than hang off it. Plus, it comes in a gorgeous warm berry shade. I'm sold!

Ooh! Power Heels

I know these are not the classiest pair of shoes, but they're kinda fabulous, aren't they?

Obviously (as with anything) teamed with a mini skirt and tube top, they're going to look...well, slut-ish. But, with the right outfit, they're the nuts! I'm thinking - floral midi skirt, and ladder stitch sweat.

Ooh! Minty Fresh

In the winter it's easy (and I'm sooo guilty for this) of falling into the black trap. And - you know what - once in a while it's fun to actually wear a bit of colour?

This oversized shirt is a breath of minty fresh air (and I'm gonna wear it with my black, leather skinnies)

Ooh! Vintage Vanity cases

If you (like me) are still in need of a present for your mum/sister/best girlfriend, then look no further. Consider this set of DVF make-up bags - they'll use them everyday to store all their cosmetics, and they don't cost the earth.

Oh, and plus, they come in some fab vintage prints!

Ooh! Feathery Frock

I just want to dance the night away in this feather hem dress. Isn't it great?!

SWISH! SWOSH!

So, what time are we off out then?

Feather Hem Dress, £80 from Warehouse.

Ooh! String 'em along

These mittens are TOO CUTE!

I mean, they're on a string, and everything.

Paul Smith Mittens on a String

Ooh! OTT Embellishment...

If ever there's a time when you get away with wearing something a bit extravagant, it's during party season. And well, it's just around the corner, isn't it? 

Totally bejeweled, and a little bit O.T.T...this pearl embellished tee is totally wearable right now.

Pearl Embellishment Tee, £65

Ooh! Crafty Clutch

It's not often you find something on the high street, so beautifully hand-made and just shouting with authenticity. But this embroidered clutch is just that - truly authentic.

What a great find!

Tetrapoint Embroidered Clutch, £128 from Anthropologie

Ooh! A Cute Bit Of Cutwork

Oh my. 

This is just divine. Look at the craftsmanship! Image how butter-soft it would feel. Could you wish for a finer, cutwork leather skirt?

I think not...

Cutwork Leather Skirt, £98 from Oasis

Ooh! Pulse Party Heels

I love a super-high heel as much as the next girl...sure, I haven't yet perfected the art of walking in them with ease, but I have - like you, no doubt - mastered covering up the pained expression.

And still, I'm forever on the hunt for a new pair of party shoes. OH HELLO Pulse Suede Platforms, you beautiful, beautiful things!

Pulse Platform Heels, £55

Ooh! Snow Leopard Sweat

You'll have guessed by now that I'm partial to a spot of leopard print, so it should come as no surprise that my eyes lit up upon spying this snow leopard sweatshirt.

Silly, yes...but I just love the idea of wearing it slouchy and super-oversized, with some proper HAUUUGGE statement earrings.

Snow Leopard Sweatshirt, £140 from Stylebop.

Ooh! Stack 'em High

When I wear bracelets, I love to stack 'em high. 

This one by Maria Francesca Pepe may a tad pricier than my usual Topshop ones, but a great one to add to the collection. You never know, the boy might get it for you for Christmas if you start hinting... *wink wink, nudge nudge*

Stacking Bracelet, £160

Ooh! Sweet Paris...

If you, like me, are dreaming of a romantic trip to sweet Paris this winter, then chances are you also love the look of this Paris print. Isn't it great?

Just pin on your wall, when Paris seems all too far away...

Paris Print, £45 (London print also available)

Ooh! The Ultimate Orange Coat

The Ultimate Orange Coat needs no introduction. It's the kind you'll wear for years to come, and throw over anything from sporty shift dresses, or a slouchy tee, jeans and Converse. You see - versatile.

(Plus, it has an incredible name).

What's more, invest now and you'll be treated to £50 off at the checkout.

Ooh! Super-cute Skater

Hurrah! It's party dress season!

And far from going for the same old black frock, I'm thinking this skater dress will make a nice change. Imaging it with big hair, and my stacked, black platforms.

Skater Dress, £149

Ooh! Boucle Backpack

If you're a bit of a Chanel fiend then you'll obviously love this boucle backpack... (and it's a right steal, at just £24.99)

Pair with skinny leathers, a super-slouchy tee and a well tailored coat for that model-off-duty look. 

One for the Christmas list, me thinks!

Boucle Backpack, £24.99

Ooh! Gold Rush...

Because sometimes you really do just need a bit of sparkle in your life...

Granted, it's not a demure jumper, but it's a deliciously fun one!

Sequin Jumper, £65

Ooh! Statement Necklace

Sometimes a girl just needs a statement necklace...

And this one's L.U.S.H.

That is all.

Shop it! Crepe Chain Neon Necklace

Ooh! Fabulous Knickers

It's not often I covert the skimpy, but these embellished knickers are different...THEY'RE JUST SO FABULOUS!

I mean, who wouldn't want to be rocking these, with some towering platforms?

Well...?

Jewel Embellished Knicker, £48

Ooh! Irresistable IRO...

I just absolutely love this jacket. I mean, I'm practically drooling over it.

I know it's a tad pricey, but it's Iro, and I'd wear it everyday...

Iro Grey Leather Trimmed Knitted Jacket, £429 from mywardrobe.com

Ooh! Super Shopper

Scouting around for a new handbag this week, I came across this super shopper. Isn't it lush?

I'm adding to bag...

Pony Skin Shopper, £169 from  Ted Baker.

Ooh! Boyfriend Cardi

This year I'm going to be really meticulous with my Christmas list (is it too early to be thinking about this?) and on there, for sure, will be this callister orange boyfriend cardigan.

Why? Well I love the colour - it pops! - the deep pockets, and the skinny cuffs. 

(Plus, the thought of my boyfriend wearing this makes me chuckle)

Callister Orange Cardigan, £110 from Reiss.
