Hello Everyone doesn’t Monday come round quick! I hope you have had a lovely weekend and Im kicking off with a oldie but a goodie – The Camel Coat.
The Camel Coat joined my wardrobe family at the back end of last year. It was one of those purchases where I had seen a few ones that I liked but was just not willing to take the plunge, because of the price. Then low and behold this beauty flashed before me while I was steaming through our local T K Maxx, as you have to go through there to get to other stores in the shopping center, Clever eh?! I tried it on and instantly I felt the connection of what only a well made garment can give you, and I knew it was worth the price as it had been reduced by 75% – RESULT.
This coat is from Jaegar, and is so well made (of course!) and when I put it on, it just falls onto the right places and makes anything I put it with, just that little bit more special. The Colour is that right shade of camel, if you have seen many Camel coats, you will know that they vary in shade. This is the better shade and is so soft to the touch, yet still structure enough to hang well on the torso. Sadly, it is no longer available from T K Maxx, but is back in store for full price. Definitely worth the investment. I teamed mine for a classier look, with a white blouse from Matalan (old), a Leatherette Skirt from ASOS (last year) and a pair of court shoes from Carvela. Oh and not forgetting my friend Celine (Diamond Shoulder bag) who is very demanding, and easily rivals, if not stills the show from my camel coat.

My second look is a more laid back look, but just to show how versatile this coat is, that it just works on so many levels. I paired it with a oversized Grey wool jumper from HM, Topshop MOM High waisted Jeans, Adidas Stan Smiths and of course Celine Diamond Shoulder Bag. This is one look I wear on repeat as it it never fails to tick all the boxes for me in looking presentable, but on point!

Hello Everyone, How are we all doing this lovely Monday Morning? I thought I would kick off the week with my Wardrobe Essential- Blazers. A long time ago I wore Blazers as my outerwear always and then when I fell pregnant with my first child and I just lost my mojo because maternity back in 2005 was dyer. Maternity ranges have come on leaps and bounds since then, but at the time I remember my uniform was just Mothercare jeans and some hideous smock tops! I hated it and felt rubbish. Fast forward to now and of late my love for the Blazer has been well and truly re-ignited!.
The first one that has me in a tizz is the Herring Bone oversized Blazer from Zara. It fits in all the right places, but also has that masculine feel with it being oversized and as always with me it is so versatile! I have been wearing it with my Topshop Mom Jeans, boots, Adidas or Converse Trainers.

My second look is to show how a blazer can smarten up a outfit. This grey Longline Blazer has been on here before and was well received by you lovely lot. It really is a great piece to sling on with a smart pair of trousers or with a pair of jeans and all of a sudden you look put together with hardly any effort at all, that is always music to my ears!

A couple of weeks ago I welcomed to my wardrobe family this stunning Tie-Dye Accordion Pleated Skirt from Zara. This Mermaid wash Lace Skirt caught my eye while I was walking past Zara in Liverpool and it just spoke to me. I’m always a sucker for a good maxi skirt but the Autumnal colours and Lace combined, I thought it would be a great transitional piece.
So here was my dilemma, its a glorious afternoon, the weather says it will rain for the next 4 days. I have 20 mins to take these photos as I have a hair appointment after, so my hair is tied up. I also couldn’t find my Charcoal V- top that I had bought to go with the skirt, which is more flattering for the fuller bust kinda of girl. Drat!! So I thought I would plough on regardless. I think the photos turned out o.k but not styled as I would of like, hey-ho cant have everything.
You could style it now with sandals or a pair Birkenstock’s for a relaxed day look. Add a pair of mules for nighttime or like I styled mine with Tan Chelsea boots from Wallis to show how they are perfect for Autumn and boy am I ready for it!!.

Don’t you just love it when you pull out one of your favourite dresses and a light bulb goes off in your head, ‘why not wear it like this’. With a flash you have got yourself a whole new look without even spending any pennies. This is what happened to me the other day. I was planning what to wear the night before ( I have to otherwise I would look like a bag of washing as I am everyone else personal stylist,hairdresser,maid,cook,cleaner,and the list goes on, that I don’t have time to think about me) and it hit me to team this together.
I bought this dress from Miss Guided last year and just wore as the purpose intended, as a dress. I love when an old fave can be re-used and look and feel completely different. I teamed with all my favourites blazer,loafers, comfort dressing with a little bit of oomph that my Miss Guided stripe shirt dress gives me.

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that Jewellery is my thing! So when Lily and Rose asked me if I would like to try some pieces, I jumped at the chance. Lily and Rose is a online exclusive Jewellery brand, with sophistication and elegance that you would expect coming from the designer Therese Zetterberg who has had much success with her Couture Bridal range. You can really see her inspirations within her designs with its vintage feel and bespoke characteristics.
The designs are stunning and it was so hard to choose, but I finally chose the following:
Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Necklace, Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Earrings and Miranda Crystal Headband.
I chose the Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Necklace because of the rose gold hardware chain which is delicate and pretty. The Opal stone which is encircled by sparkling Swarovski crystals really makes it a stunning piece, yet its very wearable for everyday. I paired these with Miss Miranda Rose Water Opal Earrings which has the same beautiful design but are studs,which I felt more comfortable with as they could be teamed with most of my outfits.
The final ‘Piece Of Resistance’ is the Miranda Crystal Headband which is truly stunning! This headband is handcrafted and is silver tone brass adorned with swarovski crystals and is finished with a velvet ribbon. This headband is so beautiful it twinkles and glistens every time you move your head and it is a perfect piece to finish any hair look. I recently filmed a Bridal Hair up Tutorial featuring Miranda Crystal Headband why not take a look and see it for yourself. I wore this headband all day and found it so incredibly comfortable, it would be perfect for an all day affair. The best bit with a headband having a ribbon is you can fashion it into many different hair designs, I have managed two and I am not done yet!
I loved the pieces I picked and have really enjoyed styling them. You can take a look at the beautiful range here Lily and Rose and check out their Instagram Lilyandrosebyzetterberg for more inspiration.
I hope you enjoyed this post and to let you know I will be having a couple weeks off blogging while I will be doing my main job being a MUMMY. So I look forward to seeing you soon recharged and ready to go.

As anyone in our industry are well aware Wedding Season is in full swing, and it got me thinking that we are always harping on about what the Bride will wear,and bow she looks, but what about the Guests?? I know at my wedding I really loved that my guests wore hats and seemed to of really “gone to town” as it were, with their outfits. It made me feel as the Bride, that all my preparations were not in vain. Maybe your not looking for a wedding, but you need something for a special occasion that you have coming up. I think I can help with that.
Recently, & Other Stories opened up a branch in Manchester city centre. You could here the cheers around when they finally opened their doors!. That now us Northerners can now have the opportunity to shop at another stylish store. This is a new brand to me, but it was its mix of fast fashion with strong tailoring, that drew my eye to this brand. Its collections are designed by ateliers in Paris and Stockholm. Quality really is the buzz word here coming at a affordable price, so when they opened in Manchester I could not resist a sneak peek.
The outfit I chose is very much my signature style. Not alot of flesh on show to cause offence, but always a glimpse of some skin, so as not to look to prudish. This dress fits the bill. The Open back dress is such a stylish number. The fit and quality of the fabric really makes it a comfy garment. With its bat winged sleeves keeping wobbly arms under wraps. The fastening around the waist to highlight and make your waist appear smaller than it is. This dress makes me feel sophisticated and ready for my special occasion.
I teamed it with & Other Stories new range of shoes and bag. I have been looking for a comfortable yet stylish sandal for a while and these Croco-Embossed Almond Toe Sandals are right up my street. The Croco effect seems to feature heavily in the New season shoes and bags. Which for me is a bonus as then they are more forgiving to scuffs and scrapes. The wooden block heels gives a nice height but also feels incredibly comfy too wear. I chose them in red, as I have not found a red pair of shoes for along time that floated my boat. I am always looking to inject a little colour into my wardrobe from time to time. That’s where the colour theme stops, because the bag I chose is Black. This bag is a cross body bag but I have made it into a clutch so you can see how versatile it is. The Croco Cross Body bag is a welcome member to my bag family and is already getting a hammering, I cant stop wearing it!! It fits in everything a girl needs for the day.
I think you can see I am thoroughly impressed with & Other Stories and I will be keeping my beady eye out for Autumn/Winter 16. So these are my pieces that I chose to wear for my special occasion, whether that’s as a Wedding Guest, Dinner Date or just glamming it up for the evening. Have you heard of & Other Stories? Have you visited the new Manchester Branch yet? Would you wear this outfit? Let me know in the comments below. I loved to hear from you.
