Karl Lagerfeld

The Karl Lagerfeld for Sephora beauty collections have arrived and are set to be a big sell out for christmas. I am fan of Karl Lagerfeld's designs however I won't be ordering any of these pieces (I honestly wouldn't use them and have enough things I've bought over the years classing them as "collectors" pieces). These are pretty cool christmas gifts for your fashionista friends though!

Walking in Wolford

I have to say, when I left school (many years ago now), the thing I loved most was not having to wear the horrible school tights again! I really did hate wearing tights, total opposite to my mum who would wear a pair in every design / shade under the sun!

I'm still not a huge tights fan but every now and then a nice design will catch my eye. 2 years ago  it was the Henry Holland Suspender print tights I fell for then last season it was the Wolford Bondage design tights, and tonight, it's these "Cheryl" Houndstooth Wolford patterend tights I love (only in the Sahara/black shade).

Pale and Interesting

Ksubi Jeans

Pencey Tank

Alexander Wang Wallet

Giuseppe Zanotti wedges

CC Skye bracelet

Gorjana Laurel hoops

Chanel pop pink lips

Preen blazer

I'm currently in love with my J Brand bright jeans (robin red and royal blue) and my J brand Houlihans in the khaki / olive shades but feel like I need to give these jeans a rest for a while and try a new style. I saw these Ksubi jeans on Shopbop this-evening and love them! I love the pale/bleached wash of these jeans as think they will work so well contrasting against bright toned tops.

I know we have not yet seen the start of the cold winter weather but I can't help thinking summer, beach, sand, sea and waves when I look at these jeans! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the winter months especially when I am all wrapped up walking through the fresh snow with my dog but at the same time I love the summertime when I can dig out my pretty floaty tank tops, my shades and gladiator sandals.

I've picked the bright pink Preen blazer as it acts as the perfect contrast piece against the subtle toned jeans. This blazer would look gorgeous with all your jeans, cut-off shorts in the summertime, and would look especially stunning over a little black dress.

I'm off for a festive trip to London in the next few weeks and I know Selfridges stock these jeans so will be sure to check them out and see if they are as nice on as they look online and if they are then they will be my first purchase for my SS12 capsule wardrobe!

Sport Luxe

Topshop 'Athletic' boots in tan £75

Topshop 'Athletic' boots in Navy £75

Chloe boots £285

Okay I have to admit  it was actually my fiancee that pointed these "Athletic" wedge ankle boots  out to me in Topshop and encouraged me to try them on (this by the way, is the man that only goes shopping  a handful of times a year)! Anyway, as soon as I tried these on, I loved them. These boots are so so comfy and with the soft buttery leather on the outside and cushioned suede in the inside they are really well made for the £75 price tag. 

The "Athletic" boots are available in tan, navy and black and are selling out fast on Topshop.com so if you want a pair, get them now! I cannot stress just how comfy and stylish these boots are on, if you don't believe me, try them on for yourself.

If you are looking for more of a splurge with the desinger option, then the Chloe wedge ankle boots (pictured above) may be just for you. These boots will set you back a cool £285.

Love this trend!

Fun at the Classic Car Show

 

I was in Birmingham at the weekend for the Classic Car Show at the NEC. I spent hours looking around all the beautiful cars. From the brand new to the vintage classics, the show had it all!

If you are into your cars, then I would highly recommend going along to the show if it's on next year. I'd also recommend staying in the Premier Inn hotel at the NEC, as it was really handy for getting to the halls, ideal for getting the train into the centre of Birminham (for the shopping) and the food was great too :-)

As well as checking out the cars, I spent a few hours in the centre of Birmingham in the Bullring shopping centre which was great. We didn't arrive until early afternoon so the shopping centre was so so busy!  I tried on some gorgeous boots in Topshop although they didn't have my size in store :-(   My fab wee mum ended up ordering me them online for part of my christmas (thanks mum!!). My big parcel arrived from Topshop tonight and to my surprise my mum bought me two pairs of boots, spoiled as usual by my mum!

  

Christian Louboutin Alex Pumps........A Paw for thought

I've just saw these Christian Louboutin 'Alex' paw pumps!!!
I'm pretty speechless to be honest. I'm a big fan of most of the Louboutin shoes, although I currently yet don't own a pair. The only ones I really wanted were the black lipspike studded ankle boots but I was too late to get a pair ordered :-(................anyway that's another story!


Although I won't be rushing to buy a pair of these, I do think "each to their own" so if you love them then get them and don't be afraid to hold your head high whilst strutting your stuff wearing them!  These are certainly a conversation starter!

Birmingham.... here we come!

This weekend i'm off to Birmingham! I'm heading to the world famous Bullring shopping centre for a spot of retail therapy and on sunday heading to the Classic Car Show at the N.E.C.

Shopping and checking out beautiful classic cars............... I can't wait!!

Last year my dad, brother and granda all went to the car show and they all loved it. 
My brother met Edd China (guy from the t.v show wheeler dealer), my granda took a picture of my brother and Edd, well he thought he was taking the picture! When my brother checked out the picture, Edd's head was missing from it! I think he is super tall :-)
Oh well, if we see him again this year I'll make sure to get his head in the picture this time!!

Mar Hall Spa day

Today was a great sunday! I was treated to a Spa Day by my future sister-in law at the stunning Mar Hall.
Mar Hall is a luxury five-star golf & spa resort located within a tranquil 240 acre woodland estate. 


This was my first ever Spa day experience and what can I say, I could get used to it!! Our day started off relaxing by the pool, popping in and out of the sauna and steam rooms (great for your skin) then a yummy lunch then it was treatment time. We each had a facial and hot stone massage and I can honestly say I have never felt more relaxed than I did today. 


It's not something I would (or could afford to do) regularly but it's perfect for a girly treat once and again. 


Hopefully I'll get a good nights sleep tonight with being so relaxed today!

Bold Souls Santa Baby

The Bold Souls famous pop-up shop is coming to the Arches, Glasgow on Sat 5th & Sat 26th November 2011. I have my tickets to go to the event tomorrow and I am really excited as I have never been to this event before. With a swap shop where you can swap your unwanted clothes and accessories for more desirable pieces, free styling and a chance to treat yourself to some of the unique collections from the new and undiscovered fashion designers I think it will be a brilliant event!


If you are a fellow blogger or just someone who loves fashion and design then don't miss out and head down to the event tomorrow. 

Flirty Florals

I love this lingerie set by Stella McCartney! 
You really can't get more delicate and pretty than this with the longer line bra and the subtle shades.
The set is called "Irene Gardening" and is available at Fox & Rose (www.foxandrose.com)
