Sail away with me honey..

Jacket: Vintage
Trousers:Zara
Shoes: Topshop
Tshirt: Zara
Bag: Random stall at service station
Again the old faithful Breton has been brought out.
My unashamed love for this shirt shall never be wavered, we have a bond that can only be matched by that of my first pair of Louboutins and my first vintage book of poems (yes i am a book collector and sniffer for that matter... don't knock it until you have tried it).
I now have these trousers in both Brown and black, they're slightly too big and made of nylon but I love them.
An outfit my grandmother would be proud of... in fact she asked me where I got my shoes from. No, really.

I see a rainbow too

Those of you with a nervous disposition, turn away now.
I am love, love, loving the colour pallets of Jil Sander, Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders for SS11.
Now it is no secret that me and all colours in and around the pallet of brown get along just fine but when the summer comes I gravitate towards anything that makes me feel like some sort of exotic bird/creature in a tropical paradise.
As I am always partial to a spot minimalism and layering, the normal staple of clean lines and whimsical materials will occupy my wardrobe but this injection of colour is just what I need to boost some life back into my painfully autumn pallet... roll on the sun!

You'll be aware of five about

Snood: topshop unique
Jumper: Zara
Shorts: Topshop
Shoes: Topshop
Bag: Zara
This snood has become a staple in my everyday life; A. because it is made of the softest wool and B. because it is soo big no amount of cold is getting through this bad boy. Still firmly in the colour pallet of brown, I don't know weather this is due to laziness or just that this weather doesn't really inspire much of any other hue.
Can't wait for the summer and acid brights to take over my life, wash over me like a technicolour dream coat.

Perfect presents...

Sometimes it's the simplest of presents that have the biggest impact.

Laduree macaroons and CoCo Chanels Biography.

I am obsessed with macaroons and Laduree do the best.

Chanel is someone I have loved ever since I can remember (we share the same birthday among other scary coincidences but i shan't bore you with that now)

Just goes to show that thoughtful presents are always the best.

Little bit of this and that...

I have been gallivanting up and down the country visiting friends and family over the past two weeks and I am finally back on home soil :)
Had a fantastical festive period but nothing beats home right?
Just a few pictures from my travels, amazing Christmas displays, festive jumpers (which I am very partial to) A random cake shop in Soho that was like a rave inside complete with flashing lights, pumping house music and a topless male... disturbing but brilliant!
Loved my time away but ready to start a new year.

Take a cup o' kindness...

Write on your heart that every day is the best day of the year and waste not good intentions on one evening alone.
Happy new year
