  • Haul | Zara Leather Sling-backs

    [Black sling-back heels, Zara, £19.99]

    You know those days when just happen to be browsing your favourite shopping website and you stumble upon a bargain so good that you have to snap it up?
    Well this was one of those bargains.
    I’m completely guilty of browsing the Zara website at inappropriate hours of the morning. So when I clicked on the Sale section a few weeks ago, you can imagine my surprise when I found these. I’ve been on the hunt for work shoes since starting my placement and while I do have a few decent pairs already, I kind of wanted to collect a few pairs that would last and be kept for days when I felt like I needed to be a bit smarter. Made of goat’s leather with pretty gold detailing these lovely sling-backs stood around the £40/50 mark before they were reduced to just £19.99! Wonderful bargain and comfy too. 
    I just need to make sure this not so wonderful British weather doesn’t damage them. 

    Keep on wishing…

  • Lookbook spotlight: Free People July 2012 Catalogue

    I don’t know about you but I adore Free People‘s lookbooks. Always wonderfully whimsical and a true free spirit of a brand, I fell hard for their spread in their July catalogue. It also helped that they showcases one of my girl model crushes Karlie Kloss and the ethereal looking Aline Weber. 
    There’s almost an Alice in Wonderland quality to the photos [shot by Chadwick Tyler], while a clear contrast of light and dark between the models. 
    And in terms of actual looks I’m loving both the pretty pleated details on the dresses and skirts, as well as the harder edges of the tough looking denim pieces. 
    Check out the lookbook in detail at Fashion Gone Rogue.

  • Wishlist Item…

    Floral -print stretch silk blend bodysuit
    Dolce & Gabbana
    £660 from Net-A-Porter

    I hope all of my UK readers are enjoying this gloriously warm Summer weather! I know many of you guys will be hitting the beaches this weekend, if you haven’t already, so I thought I bring you a little inspiration with some help from Dolce & Gabbana’s S/S12 collection. Every piece that was paraded down the runway was emblazoned with bright and bold prints, none more so than this super Summer-y bodysuit. 
    It’s probably not quite appropriate for Bournemouth beach trips but doesn’t it just scream Miami poolside glamour? It’s also pretty perfect for those of us who aren’t quite ready to bare all in this heat. Plus it can also be teamed effortlessly with maxi skirts, or even tucked into shorts, for easy poolside to street style chic. 

    Keep on wishing…
