i've got knits

Slightly chilly weather out there. I've spied this sleeveless tunic style at Whistles (great with culottes), this stripe by Cheap Monday (similar to the YSL or Chloe one), this chunky white by Topshop Unique (which has been spotted on a lot of editors) simple stripes at APC, classic grey ribbed knit by Maje (above) and the high street cashmere hero at Uniqlo. 

very marant

Can you even think about wooly warm stuff yet? This Zara ethnic print coat is very Isabel Marant. Imagine a chilly beach evening + cosy fire + drunk guitar player + large rum punch. 

yippeeeeee

It is actually warm outside. I can finally venture out without thermals and a grumpy face. Time to snap up this summer dress, would look great with these too and these earrings.

spring boho

New boho/embroidered/lacy/white top needed urgently please. Here are some high and low options…broderie angalaise by Etoile Isabel Marant, panels at Warehouse, Beyond Vintage lace and crochet, pineapple print at Anthropologie, cropped top and skirt by Zara, or a shirt option Zara, a very pretty Zimmermann smock and this blouse has been spotted on a lot of fashion editors. Panic over.

chatting...

Things we've been chatting about recently at secretstylist HQ…aren't these boots incredible? can we buy these ears for ourselves? what about a velvet print dress for christmas parties? or animal? how gorgeous this knit is (spied on cup of jo) …have you ordered your fur yet? If I buy this for my man I can totally borrow it…

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

rocking animal print

Animal print belongs to my boss during my days at Grebstad Hicks. Lynn wore it well, head to toe, 365 days a year! I love injecting a bit of animal print into my wardrobe, and this season there are some great options around. Try a semi-subtle scarf, a blatant jean or a super subtle boot...



This gorgeous scarf by Lily and Lionel (who I love), in the sale at The Outnet

I saw a girl wearing these at the weekend and they looked incredible! By Current Elliott, the grey ones, from Matches

Isabel Marant boots at Barneys. Enough said.
