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! 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! 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.

Ooh! Super Slouchy Tee

I do love a good quality, slouchy tee (and thankfully they exist in abundance at Reiss). As far as I'm concerned, they always get the fit right, where so many retailers get it so, so wrong.

Plus, there are LOADS of slouchers in the Reiss Sale...oh yes!

Blossom Slik Front Top, £39 (sale price) by Reiss.

Ooh! Hot Halter

I have a real thing for canary yellow, so it's no surprise I was drawn towards this halter top. Sure, it's my colour, but it's also cinched in at the waist, which suits my shape. Sweet!

I'm thinking white straight cut jeans, uber stacked wedges and big Hollywood style shades to style it out. Oh, dah-ling...

Esmeralda Top, £79 from Reiss.

Ooh! Hot Pink

Seeing as I'm off to Reiss' SS12 Fashion Week party later (eeee!) I thought I'd bring you something fun and party-ish from said brand.

Tah-dah! This is the oh-so-simple, chic, hot pink camisole from the new collection - a completely fuss-free top, in one of Spring's hottest colours. I'll be wearing mine with printed silk trousers, or waxed jeans and fashion flats.

Silvie Fuschia Silk Camilsole, £79 from Reiss.

Ooh! Oversize Shirt

Sometimes you just need a really good, sexy, man-sized shirt (yes - you really do!)

There's nothing sexier and more chic than pulling off that 'I'm wearing my boyfriend's shirt' look without looking like you've tried too hard. Pair your oversize shirt with leather skinnies, chelsea boots and an artfully messy hair-do and, hey presto, you've done it.

Josh Oversize Shirt, £95 from Reiss.

Ooh! Kickin' Knit

so today, there's only one topic on everyone's lips - the FRRREEZING cold weather! Yes, we may not be in Siberia, but we have hit sub-zero temperatures on our wee little island, and it's safe to say that we're feeling all -7 of it.

So, you can pile on layers of tops and cardis, but I prefer to pull on one super cosy jumper in times of extreme cold. Enter the Julsey from Reiss...Ta Dahh!

Made from merino wool, this pull-over is sure to keep you toasty.  And whats more, being the long length that it is, keeps you tush mighty toasty too! From a fashion point of view, it channels the 80s with its geometric design in a completely 'now' kind of way - just add big hair and statement earrings.

Julsey Jumper, £60 from Reiss

Ooh! Trés Chic

Ok, ok so these Chanel-inspired beauties have been around for a while now, but rarely do you see such a chic looking quilted leather shoulder bag, as this one.

The Reiss Romeo is a real class piece, and you just know it'll last a lifetime.

OoOoOoOoh...

Romeo Bag, £189 from Reiss
