How to look chic in the cold weather? Layer up in toning colours
Spent a very happy hour this month going through Fi’s @feather_and_stitch shop. I did a Christmas party edit and my favourite everyday pieces. Something for everyone in there. It’s a Richmond institution and chock full of colour, print and unique Scandi finds. Fi arranges her rails in colour stories so it’s really a pleasure to shop. Add to that trainers, jewellery, socks and beauty gifts and you could nail half your Christmas shopping in one go! Let me know what you find. A x
Ah, all my school friends back together again. Lots of laughing, tonnes of eating and way too much drinking. I was the first to slope off to bed. No change there then. Thanks @university_arms for a relaxing stay and to @mercado_central_cambridge for a veritable Spanish feast. Here’s to those precious female friends who I couldn’t do without @annadaskal1 @ericaaweston @absterho @j_wo_nw2
I thought a bit of joy was needed amidst this INCESSANT rain! One of my lovely clients, Sarah, got married this summer. It was a second marriage and she wanted to feel bridal but not look overly so! We had great fun shopping for her outfit. It’s always such a privilege to help a client with their wedding look. I get a bit over excited to be honest. We tried suits, tops and trousers and, of course, a few dresses. Dresses won as Sarah has such amazing legs! This @emiliawickstead ticked all the boxes. Sexy, yet demure, cool, yet appropriate and easy to rewear with black tights and boots! The shoes were a dream @aquazzura and you can see Sarah on her honeymoon reusing both the bag and the shoes! Win win. Congratulations again Sarah! You looked so beautiful x
Love pink. Always have, always will. Fresh, feminine and versatile. I’ve paired it with a soft emerald green and candy pink mules. One of my favourite looks last week. Are you a pink fan? X P.S Marni is quietly photo bombing in the background
Lovely day for a slap up breakfast in the beautiful @spring_ldn What a setting! Tranquil and light filled - a really pretty space. I was invited to a press breakfast for @navygrey.co to celebrate their new collection. Luckily it was chilly enough for ‘The Oversize’ in navy - a luxurious British wool which I wore with a light mac and tailored navy trousers. Plus my mad Minnie Mouse shearling shoes. Great to spend time with such an inspirational group of women ( I was flanked by two entrepreneurs @littlespree and @tonastell and to catch up with old friend @katefinnigan__ Do check out @navygrey.co delicious offering for the cold days to come x
Phewee it was warm yesterday. Wore my @madsnorgaard tee, @pacorabanne necklace ( basically glued to my neck at all times) old @calvinklein canvas skirt and trusty @maxmara feather weight mac. Didn’t need the mac but I’m hardwired to consider rain at any given moment. Mooched around Regent Street, Liberty, Arket.. it was absolutely rammed. So good to see London brimming with tourists again x
I’ve had my eyes peeled for a loungey maxi dress for ages now. Nothing was ever quite long enough or roomy enough. Then I spotted this @snowpeak_uk when I was in Cheltenham for the festival. It’s from @theunionproject outlet store. I got this and a cute dark green hoody. The dress is a heavy recycled cotton and it’s Japanese design. No wonder I loved the cut so much! It’s almost cocoon like in shape. Perfect with a trainer, an ankle boot, a clumpy boot or a knee boot. Wear on its own or with a warm layer underneath. I love it here with my @marfastance cape adding to the silhouette, but you could chuck a chunky cardi over it instead or smarten it up with a blazer. It’s gonna get a LOT of wear. Such a wonderful store and great staff too. I will be getting rid of one or two dresses to make room for my new addition. I always follow a ‘one in, one out’ policy. Happy lounging! X
Ahh, this weird warm/cold weather is tricky to dress for. Add blazers, cardigans, fine knits, light macs, mini capes or coats over dresses so you can peel off as necessary. Nothing worse than being cocooned in something and unable to strip down as the weather warms up during the day. Socks and sandals have ALWAYS been a part of my repertoire for the past ten years. Spot on for this in between temperature. The dress is pre-loved ( but immaculate) @rachelcomey from the brilliant @mimmostudios socks from @stilleben_dk sandals a few seasons old @insidejigsaw blazer is good old @arketofficial
Happy Sunday! X
