the best off the shoulder

People keep quizzing me about the best ones. I've spied denim at Zara, tunic style by Tibi (I've seen this on people in the village and it looks great), dress at Mango (the sale just started), another dress by Reformation (love), simple black top at Topshop (they also have dresses and playsuits), pretty print at Dvf, and popular with the bloggers - stripes at Asos. 

gold is the new black

Ok I got a bit carried away with the gold theme. Just loving the GB team in the Olympics and their incredible gold rush this weekend, even Murray had a smile for us. We rock x

summer looks for less at the outnet

The Outnet is a great place to hunt for summer beach looks. Loving this hat by Melissa Obadash now GBP 34.40 (from 86), a half price Zimmerman sundress now GBP 107.50 and DVF gladiator sandals which will stay stylish for years, now GBP 144 (from 240). If you can't find your size hunt around as there are heaps of good bargains...and they ship everywhere...

happy halloween

My vast fancy dress wardrobe (thanks to six plus years in Hong Kong) is being put to the test this weekend. New York go all out for Halloween it seems. The problem is its snowing. So is it Lady Gaga...Marge...leopard...black swan...or Penelope Pit-stop? I quite fancy dressing up as the eccentric Iris Apfel...the glasses, a touch of silver hair spray, acres of colourful jewels and flamboyant colours...(oh and in case you haven't heard you can shop her collection here)

Essential for the look. Linda Farrow Luxe at Net-A-Porter

Iris would rock this DVF coat

Gorgeous necklace (which Iris would layer with 45 others) from Stella & Dot (who have just landed in the UK, and fyi also ship internationally)

A new find, Max & Chloe, great cuffs

Why not chuck in a bit more turquoise? Kenneth Jay Lane at My-Wardrobe

Love this at Astley Clarke

rosie rocks it

Don't get too used to this daily posting malarky. I just had to add this to the blog, don't they look gorgeous? Love love love Rosie in her short lace dress by DVF, it must have sold out though as I can't find it anywhere. The pic is from their official wedding at Marylebone registry office, she chose the perfect look, nude heels, simple hair and of course it helps that she has rocking legs. Can't wait for France x
