Magpie Eye- Dogeared at ASOS

25th September 2013
My magpie like tendency to home in on anything shiny has led me to lusting after this gorgeous little bracelet from the new and exclusive to ASOS Dogeared collection. 
I’ve always loved Dogeared’s delicate and meaningful designs so to hear they had come up with an exclusive collection for one of my all time favourite retailers was pretty damn exciting.
The collection compromises of 9 pieces- four necklaces, two bracelets and three sets of earrings with prices starting at £32
The collection is available now on ASOS. If you were planning on getting me a Christmas present then this would be a good start 😉
Which is your favourite piece?

Hello, Darling

25th September 2013

Trousers c/o Darling
Tee: Uniqlo
Shoes c/o Yull
Say hello to my favourite trousers ever, sent to me the other week by the generous folks at Darling these might just convert me in to a weekday trouser wearer. The Poppie trousers are part of the gorgeous AW collection over on the website, compromising of fabulous florals right through to the coolest (yet warmest) coats. I’ve spent many an hour persuing Darling and I’m delighted I can now say I own a piece…with my wages going on more in the future now I know the quality and fit is excellent. I’ve got my eye on the dress version of the trousers too!
I wasn’t really sure how to style a pair of printed trousers but opted for simple yet office appropriate with a faithful Uniqlo tee and the Cambridge flats from my dear friend at Yull.
It took a bit of getting used to wearing trousers for work, really the only trousers I wear are jeans at the weekend but they proved comfortable and eye-catching and will retain my dignity when I inevitably fall off my chair at some point in the near future (it always happens!)
Happy Mid-Week ladies and gents, where is time going? It’s flu jab season at work and we are busier than ever…still, I have my window shopping to keep me sane and I’ll be keeping a close eye on Darling for seasons to come.
How would you style these trousers?

Bag Lust- Brit Punk from Cambridge Satchel

24th September 2013
Think Satchels and you don’t instantly associate the word “Punk” with them, do you?
Cambridge Satchel are out to challenge this with their latest release the Brit Punk Collection compromising of two toughened up black leather Satchels to perfectly accentuate the tough AW leather and black fashions (so basically they’ve created my ideal bag!)
13″ Black with Studs- £150

14″ Black with Tartan- £159

My personal favourite is the black with studs as to me it seems the most long-wearing of designs in terms of seasonal versatility. My love of all things tartan means I am also seriously coveting the slightly larger version with that fantastic front pocket.
Sadly for me, both are out of my price range, dammit.
Fancy a closer look or been tempted to make a purchase?
The bags are available right here on the website.
Which do you prefer?

A Guess Affair

24th September 2013

So as you might have guessed (haa, sorry!) by now I’m a massive fan of Guess Jewellery. I’m head over heels for their AW13 collection “A Guess Affair”  with it’s modern twist on vintage styles.
 The collection is an eclectic array of chunky charm styles, playing off the GUESS brand 
heritage and iconic imagery. 
Each piece evokes the thrilling feel of a special find from a favourite vintage boutique. A colourful spin on the classic cameo, featuring a printed silhouette from iconic GUESS imagery pays homage to the power of the Brand’s history and powerful identity. Bold, vintage gem colours and semi-bright, antiqued plating, infuse the collection with a beguiling sense of character.
Artful settings of resin stones, flashes of jet enamel, ornate caps on faceted glass beads, and an array of stylized logo details all merge to form a singular collection that is distinct and 
unforgettable.
From dainty charm-laden silhouettes to edgy and oversized designs, this collection pairs flawlessly with an understated ensemble to effortlessly enhance any GUESS Girl’s wardrobe. The GUESS Girl is sure to look sexier than ever and show off her love of the GUESS brand.
You can see more of the collection and purchase it for yourself at the Guess Jewellery website, or check out your local House of Fraser
 (it’s exclusive!)
Do you have a jewellery brand you keep going back to? It was my Mum who got me hooked on Guess and as they seem to up their game with every collection I can’t see my affections waning any time soon.
