Breton For Spring
I think a good Breton Top is on most peoples No.1 List in the style stakes. I know personally, myself, I think I have worn some form of Breton Top most of my life! Stripes for a fact can be hard to pull off with especially horizontal stripes. It can make you look heavier than you really are, but I couldn’t give a monkeys uncle about that. Fashion rules sometimes just have to be ignored. Especially if you have a penchant for all things nautical!!. So let me tell you about this Breton Top I picked up recently from La Redoute. Now if you are a avid viewer of our YouTube channel (Click Here to have a gander) then its no secret that I have a Love Hate Relationship. I wont bore you with the details but lets just say items arrived SOOO late and I find the delivery absolutely rubbish. I failed to see in this day and age why items should need to take 7-10 working days to be delivered!! Who has time for that. Saying that, you can not deny the quality and uniqueness of their clothing. For me I can forgive rubbish delivery and just get over myself enough to place a order or two and just cultivate some patience while I eagerly wait by the door for said items.
This Breton top has bought much joy to me, as the softest of the material and cute little satin bow detail on the back just ticks all the boxes for me. As I was trying to channel my inner French Madam Look, I teamed it with my 7 For All Mankind Jeans and Marks and Spencer Metallic Backless Loafers for a laid back look. For added warmth to keep the chill off my kidneys I opted for my All Saints The Bales Leather Jacket just adds the je sais que for me.

Come and Say Hi….
Shades Of Grey
Sale shopping I find stressful. There I said it. I DO NOT like sale shopping. Rails upon rails to scour through, fills me full of dread. I haven’t always felt this way, there used to be a time where I would love nothing better than a good old Sale. The reason I don’t now, is for the last 3 years I have had a little appendage with me, that DOES NOT like shopping at all and makes the whole experience excruciating. Now you will normally find me in my safe habitat in the evenings, on my laptop,and the children in bed. I will scour the internet looking for bargains from my favorite labels. That’s how things normally go but on Boxing day I stepped out of my comfort zone on a promise of a Krispy Kreme by my eldest daughter who was desperate to spend her wages from working in the salon over the Christmas period.What can I say, Im easily persuaded!.
I was totally focused on helping her choose the pieces she wanted to add to her wardrobe, until I was side lined by this gorgeous Grey Longline coat. I instantly snapped it up as it was exactly what I had been looking for, for a while at a great price. A Grey coat is one of those staples items that just goes with everything. Put it with a great pair of denim and white trainers or stick it with a pair of leather ankle boots and a pair of culottes and its a match made. Unfortunately I wasn’t the only one that picked up this bargain and they have completely sold out. Have no fear I have trolled the net and found some great offers for all budgets, check them out below.
I look forward to seeing you all on Friday.
Take Care,
