Chanel Espadrilles

 What I'd do to have a pair of these shoes... So jealous of Aimee from SongOfStyle.com who has not only one pair, but several. They look so comfy, and it's not often you see something Chanel that's so casual.

So if anyone wants to buy me a present?.... :)

2011 Autumn/Winter Trends

 
Are you one of those girls who loves to have everything before everyone else gets it? I've found some pieces you can get buying up on now before the best of them run out in stores.

Aviator Jacket - 2010 was the year of the leather biker (becoming way overdone in the hooded variety), make way for the aviator (or shearling) jacket for 2011.
White Button Up - This shirt is a must have, handy to have one in sheer, silk and cotton fabrics.
Chambray Shirt - A comfortable, everyday piece (add lace for extra cuteness).
Panel Leggings - If you're not into the jegging trend and your jeans are still at the back of the cupboard, interesting leggings will take their place with ease.
Denim Jacket - We're making our way back to the 90s, think of anything Phoebe or Rachel would wear on 'Friends'.
Red - Randomly add a splash of red to your outfit one day (if you're addicted to wearing blacks/neutrals) and you'll turn heads.
Satchel Bag - Look smart, sophisticated, and be able to fit everything important into your bag with one of these.
Leather Shorts - If you don't have a pair already, they'll get you through the rest of summer and right on through to winter. Spend up, you'll get plenty of wear out of them!
Shoes - Winter wedges and any man-style boots will keep the feet warm and in style.

Aviator Jacket - Dorothy Perkins
White Shirt - Sportsgirl
Chambray Shirt - General Pants
Panel Leggings - Helmut Lang
Denim Jacket - Topshop
Red Sweater - Sportsgirl

Summer Trends

On the way through Spring to Summer I think, hmmm... what do I need to buy? I seem to have this great big whopping problem with buying completely random peices of clothing, none which fit together or even look any good on me. What's with that? Well I've made a pact to change. For good. So I've been doing my research. The great thing about the internet these days is you don't have to get off your bum to go trying on every wrong clothing item until you find the right one. You can go online and pick out the select few bits that have potential to be something good. Here are some essentials I've found.

Here we have a high waisted 50's style skirt in a summery graphic print from Dotti. If you need a break from the Gladiator Sandals the perfect replacement is a chunky platform heel in tan or black. Waisted belts are still in fashion adding a bit of class and shape to an outfit. 70's denim is in at the moment with a pair of light-washed denim shorts from Cotton On. Floral prints are a definate summer must-have with the Sportsgirl blouse not only in the wanted print but also in the neutral shades that are quite popular at the moment.

A new range of jewellery is coming out at Diva on September 8th called "Fiesta".
