AW13 from Warehouse

09th September 2013
Back in June Warehouse launched a national competition where people could submit their outfits. Based on the facebook votes nine winners were selected and these nine outfits have now been incorporated in to a video campaign which follows the day in the life of a girl who changes outfits every 90 minutes according to what is happening in her life.
90 minutes bears significance as Warehouse have just launched a 90 minute delivery service (available in a wide range of cities across the UK- brilliant!)
I think the idea of the campaign and the accompanying video is fantastic, 
it reminds me a lot of myself and how I can change outfits several times in a day- I never seem to be able to choose something to suit a range of occasions. I am yet to manage nine clothing changes but you never know, it could happen!
I’d love to hear your views on the campaign and the concept. Also tell me about how many outfit changes you’ve managed in one day. I’ll be amazed if it’s reached double figures!
On a side note I am absolutely loving the AW13 collection from Warehouse, so many pieces have made it’s way on to my wishlist!
Blog posts will be few and far between for the next week, bar for a couple of scheduled ones. It’s a mad start to the week and then I’m away Thurs-Sunday with the boy for his birthday. Off to visit his home town of Melton Mowbray, I’ve never been that far North so I’m really looking forward to it.
Have a good one
I’ll be on a catch up rampage when I am back.

Sarenza Sunday- Pretty Dandy

08th September 2013

Hello perfect Autumn ankle boot.
Well, perfect to team with skirts and dresses in place of ballet flats or trainers which have been my other options for almost a year now.
The Pretty Dandy boot by Schmoove Heroine at Sarenza is just one of a selection of beautiful trans-seasonal pieces. I’m not yet ready to commit to proper stompy, weather proof boots. I want something a bit daintier and a bit lighter and this fit the bill nicely.
Do you believe in trans-seasonal footwear? Or is it flipflops until frost arrives thick on the ground?

Stylish Plus Wishlist

07th September 2013
In lieu of feeling like posting outfits I appear to have come up with rather a lot of wishlists this week, 
the latest being from new to me website Stylish Plus– a real mis-mash of clothes, shoes and accessories, some of which are just downright gorgeous.
I’ve stuck with my current theme of (mostly) black and white and I’m seriously coveting these gems.
The cat lady in me couldn’t resist this tee

A perfect cover up for the cooler, but not freezing days

I really love how classy and timeless this 2 in 1 dress is (and a bargain too!)

Clearly I’m a sucker for the cute factor!

If I could wear heels these ankle boots would be on their way to me right now.

I just loved how asymmetric this jacket is, I’d wear it till it fell apart.

I love finding gems like this on the internet, it’s one of those websites where you really have to trawl through- perfect when you have time on your hands (or if you don’t!)
Take a look and let me know what your picks would be.
And have a good weekend!

In Pieces

06th September 2013

Skirt c/o Front Row Shop
Vest: ASOS
Boots: New Look
Apologies for the appalling photos. It’s been a funny week for getting outfit photos with changes in light and having people in the house at all times (yep, I’m a shy blogger). I’ve also had a couple of days of struggling with body image so just getting dressed has been achievement enough, let alone wearing anything blog worthy!
Anyway. I really love this skirt from Front Row Shop. I’d never heard of them before but they got in touch asking if I’d like to try them out and so I did. And I was impressed. There are some fantastic, high fashion pieces on the site at fairly reasonable prices and with good shipping rates and times. The skirt fits like a dream- the sizing guide was really helpful and I have high hopes I can get a lot of wear out of it over A/W once I’ve built up my wardrobe a bit more…it’s really lacking at the moment, I need a massive overhaul of my current warmer clothes as a lot don’t fit or suit me.
Rambling.
Sorry!
The boots are a recent buy from New Look and will be a fixture on my feet until it gets too cold or too wet to wear them. It’s the only heel I’ve been able to wear for ages- not that you can really call it a heel and suits my style, past and present perfectly.
Enough from me. It’s Friday. The weekend starts now!
I’m off to the hospital to get a check up on my foot- the steroid injection didn’t work so we’re going to plan what comes next…
Then it’s work for a few hours and off to spend the weekend with the boy. Bliss. I’m super excited to see the progress he’s made on my bike. Might have to snap some sneaky pics.
What are you up to this weekend?

ultimate daisy chain dreaming- the M&S pink coat

05th September 2013
*Swoon*
Isn’t it gorgeous? This is the coat that has had fashion pulses racing since the press days, and it’s from good old Marks and Spencer of all places.
M&S collection Duster coat is sold out almost everywhere in the beautiful Blush Pink (other colours are still available), which isn’t a surprise given it’s only £85…a very reasonable price as far as a winter coat is concerned.
I’m in the market for a new winter coat and this is a strong contender,
providing I can source one, of course. No other colour will do for me. It’s Blush Pink or look elsewhere I’m afraid!
What’s got your heart racing this season?
