something for the weekend.

Shoes: ebay, shorts: ebay, jumper (OLD) : h&m

I do a bit of black.

get caught in the rain.

I'm loving the parker over a delicate dress look lately. The muted tones and sheer materials of a slp dress against the boyish charm of a parker are making want to dance in the rain!!!

Look in lingerie deparments for a silky slip, experiment with layering with a tutu from a haberdashery shop. Military is still in; go to military stores for cheap and very warm jumpers. Whether you choose a khaki mac or a parker coat, make sure it isn't too tight-fitting, you want the look to be relaxed. Complete the look with lace up boots with chunky socks.

Isabel Marant

When I hear the name Isabel Marant I immediately think of those boots with the angular triangular heel and studded ankle cuff. They were found at the top of every magazine’s list of 'what boots to wear now' in 2009 resulting in a mammoth waiting list.

In an interview in ELLE (UK) magazine, Marant explains all her collections are designed around her, in essence, she designs clothes that she wants to wear, clothes that every woman wants to wear, and most importantly, comfortable clothes. Interestingly, her work isn’t inspired by films or art work like a lot of other designers Instead, she uses the styles of individuals (Alexa Chung’s personal style is a key muse for her Spring/Summer 2011 collection).
These are my favourite looks from Isabel Marant's Autumn Winter 2010/11 collection.

DIY Festival Geek Sunglasses

A couple of months ago, whilst perusing through ELLE I came across an unusual pair of glasses covered in lace with little fancy decorations around the rims. Based on the old school Ray Ban Geek style they looked kind of sarcastic and fun. It reminded me of how women in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ times would shield their eyes from the summer sun with lace fascinators and mask or even those cute umbrellas which today can only be pulled off by the most extrovert, stylish goddesses around. This pair brings the classy lace back into the realms of eye-protection whilst beign exceptionally stylish and cute.

They are designed by Ermanno Scervino and the price is ‘on request’, translation; ‘you can’t afford it’.

I was inspired to try this design out and with the patience of a saint and spending days with superglue on my fingertips I can gladly say that I am quite happy with these little beauties.

I have four pairs available to buy which I am selling on my eBay account
