Winter Is Coming (I Think)

I've been loving coloured fur (always faux) for a while now, ever since Prada did this:

Prada AW 14/15

Leading the faux fur brigade are Charlotte Simone and Shrimps, both British-based designers with passions for faux and ethically sourced fur.

Time Watch

As my first exam looms ever closer and I find myself constantly watching the clock, the theme of time and the brevity of life is on my mind…No, not really.
In the last year it seems that most of my friends have been given or have purchased beautiful watches. I am, alas, still without a timepiece to call my own but have decided its time to stop relying on the ever failing battery of my iPhone. Here are a few of the watches I'm considering, I'm still unsure which would be the best investment so let me know what you think!

Spring Thing

Last weekend the weather was gorgeous and all anyone did was sit outside and soak up the sun - and rightly so. However, if you're anything like me you will have struggled to pick what to wear! I've always thought black tights can look a bit silly in the glaring sunshine, I wasn't quite prepped for a bare leg day and was immediately rather too sticky in my jeans. Here are some pieces i'll be adding to my spring wardrobe - they're great transitional bits and no need to show anything above the knee yet!

Jacket; River Island, Loafers; Russell & Bromley, Skirt; Whistles, Jacket; Zara, Jeans; Topshop, Shoes; Zara, Dress; River Island, Knitted Top; Whistles, Zara, Top, White Jeans, Topshop

A Modern Weekend

Topshop have got some great classic pieces at the moment; long lasting and reasonably priced. So I'm keeping it minimalist, modern and mostly monochrome this weekend.
