in the (warm, no need for thermals or windbreakers) uk

 

 

Hi there, I'm in the UK, it is boiling, wooooooo hoooooo! Apologies for the silence but we are catching up with family and friends, more socialising, less styling :) here are a few things for you to browse...

 

this is a gorgeous lip colour Poppy Pop

these shades

have you tried this yet?

Second Female....a Danish label I spied

this playsuit has nearly sold out everywhere

going for gold

some Ancient Greek Sandals at The Outnet 

 

I will be back soon x

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.

fashion week freeze

Bonkers idea but seeing the frozen show goers in NYC and (slightly warmer) London I had a craving for a new coat. There has been so much brilliant fluff, fur, camel (camel and white) and pastels. I spied these…

Asos pastel | faux fur | grey funnel neck 

Ganni biker or Ganni poodle? One of life's big questions

Zara camel coat or cape

The Outnet Theory shearling

iris and ink pink suede midi skirt

New York winters are tough, really really tough! Pink suede skirts are totally impractical purchases when all you wear in -9 is Uniqlo thermals under jeans, gigantic jumpers, giant parkas, snow boots, 83 scarves and a bobble hat, but hey, just look at it. Yum.

so many sandals

I keep getting asked about sandals so I thought I would share some of the goodies I have seen. I always end up choosing a metallic as they go with everything. Most of these are in the sale too..yay x

Penelope Chilvers

great silvery espadrilles too...

can you spot a theme?

Whistles

Ancient Greek Sandals 

Hush 

(only 39.60 GBP in the sale!)

K Jacques

the St Tropez fave in the sale and going fast

Matt Bernson

Sigerson Morrison at The Outnet 

the bikini search

In search of a new strapless bikini and I keep coming back to these designs by Marysia Swim....also like this Varley London print or this retro Topshop number. The Outnet is always a winner for swimwear, lots of discounted designers like Melissa Odabash. If you would rather have straps I spied this striped triangle one in Cos and they are offering 25% off for new US customers. Check out the bikini chat on twitter too...

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...

secretstylist christmas gift guide...part one...tallulah

Just humour me on the names. I've created three Christmas gift guides which you can forward on to boys, brothers, fathers, lovers, friends and mothers...

First up is Tallulah, she loves to travel. She would rather spend her money on a flight to a far flung country than a new pair of shoes. She thinks Prada is a flesh eating fish. Make her throw away those revolting half zip trousers and inject some glamour into her rucksack with....

a cosy scarf for long plane and train journeys (Charlotte Taylor at YBD or Anthropologie)

a cross-body suede bag (Meli Melo at Young British Designers)

a new peacock bikini from We are Handsome (Barneys NY or Net-A-Porter)

rocking boots she can wear anywhere (Zadig & Voltaire)

a stylish ipad cover to wow the hostel dwellers (J.Crew)

a blush dress she can wear to parties (Elizabeth & James at The Outnet)

a beautiful book to inspire her (Assouline)

a leopard print dress for the beach bar (Zimmerman at Net-A-Porter)

Moroccan style earrings to wear endlessly (KJ's Laundry)
