Wearing: Anything loose- summer in the city is a killer!!
Listening to: John Newman- Love Me Again

Dress- New Look. Scarf worn as shawl- New Look. Necklace- Forever 21. Sandals- Carvela. And, as always, my trusty Mulberry.
Dress- ASOS. Flatforms- New Look. Necklace and bag as above.

New mohair-esque coat- TOPSHOP. Dress as above. Studded clutch- New Look.

I told you I'd try and blog more!! This is kind of, again, my week in outfits! Except the coat obviously- with this weather that would be ludicrous!! 

Summer in the city is always such a hard one to style as, on the one hand, you want to look exactly that- stylish, and on the other hand, you don't want to melt! As I mentioned in my post before this one, I felt a little bit mental buying a winter coat with such scorching weather (the cashier must also have shared these views judging by the looks she gave me on purchasing such an item), however there is good reason! When it comes to a winter coat I always alway always lose out as I 'um and ah' over which style I want to see me through the season (BIG decision!) so I never end up buying! 

So this year, I decided to pre-empt the inevitable and get in there straight away! I think it's a great style (the long bomber jacket will be all over AW13, let me tell you!) and the gorgeous navy colour in the mohair fabric is just gorgeous! 

On Friday I'm going to Lovebox festival in sunny London so I will blog outfits and such like from there afterwards!

Big Love.
As Always.

11.07.13 My week in outfits

 
Listening to: Breach- Jack

I haven't blogged in a little while- No real excuse for this but going to use the scape-goat that I started new job and have been swamped with Glastonbury (I know, it's a hard life)....

For this post I thought I would focus on 'My Week in Outfits' to show you what I typically wear on a normal working week and hopefully give you some inspiration or, at leat, something fun to look at for a few minutes!

It has been a gorgeous week here in London and across the country by all accounts! Legs are out, sunnies are on and there is a general sense of optimism and happiness that isn't felt in London when the sun isn't shining! In terms of fashion however, it seems odd that the sun has officially got his hat on yet we are eagerly awaiting the AW13 retail drops this month and into next! I even treated myself to new WINTER coat last week which felt slightly ludicrous but slightly necessary at the same time!
