With these freezing conditions I don't think anyone is thinking about spring yet. Knowing the UK weather, spring can appear next week for a few days and that's it, it's over till next year.  So there is no harm in preparing early right.  Spring coats are the most important item in  your wardrobe. A few silky glimpses of seziness have been circulating insta for people who live in warmer climates and think they know it all *rolls eyes*  You can get the above topshop duster coat here  Get this black number Here This is on sale at miss guided pipo. Hurry up and get it here Word of advice: To avoid that "I just rolled out of bed look" please get one that has some character. For example parker coat above that has scrunched sleeves or metal buckles. You will Slay this with a pair of jeans and a tshirt only, it's that easy. Next agenda on the programme the good old TRENCH COAT You knew this was coming. The trench is too classic to miss off the list. If you think " I am going to skip pass this because I have a trech already", YOU ARE WRONG (in my 'you can't handle the truth' voice). Trench coats are getting modern updates everyday  Update with a vivid coloured trench Or a statement belt trench  Or prints, who doesn't love prints The last transition coat one which I have gone with is the ultimate patent coat. This coat is so so stylish and lifts any outfit. All shops are selling out of these and I got this brand new on eBay for £31, BARGAIN.  Patent coat: Ebay £31 Shoes Mark and Spencer sale : £12.99 Clutch bag: By Opaleye @byopaleye (instagram) Hat: On NYC streets $5 Until next time buttercups.

There is no secret here that I love shopping on the high street. High street brands are boldly matching designer bags in look and feel without the heavy price tag. I had some rules when I purchased high street bags,  Rule no 1 It must be leather. Leather to me gives a level of quality and it is clearly visible. Rule no 2 I always go for a minimalist look so it is not too obvious where I got the bag from. But I find myself abandoning my rules these days due to the quality of neatly sewn PU leather bags out there these days. These bags below are my favs and when worn with good style, they look like a million bucks  From Primark (both £7 below) Below From Newlook (priced between £11.99 and £24.99) Love love love this red bag below.  Looks so expensive and can be worn with anything. This ring bag below has been done by many designers, this is a good pairing for work wear. Blow from Zara. Note these bags are still on sale in Zara so go check them out. They are priced between  £15.99 to £39.99. Very reasonable for bags that look like they cost a grand. These mini bags from zara I love. You can attach it to another bigger bag to give the effect of runway. See below for ways to wear these bags. They look very Fendi like and they fit your phone so you can take them for a night out. This embroidered clutch is from Glamorous and is on sale for £10. You can give an outfit instant uplift with this bag it's that chic. My final pick is this Park Lane number below which is also on sale at ASOS. I hope you are still able to catch some sales and save some money in this austerity January ?. Until next time buttercups 

You guessed it. Denim on denim upon denim upon more denim. How can we forget the red carpet turn up of Britney and Justin Timberland back in the day ???.  I bet you that red carpet never forgot the day it got a throw up of indigo and cowboyness. It was really hard to watch and I am sure JT and  Britney? Cringe everytime they see this picture (bet Britney is like "That look was lit and still is") Fast forward to 2013/2014, Rih and Bey started reinventing this look and making it cool again. And trust fashion bloggers to run with it. It has been trending for 2-3 years but I think it is time to retire it.  For those of us who seem to be one step behind trends, here are some rules on how to wear denim on denim. 1. Mismatch the denim.  Throw in different shades and textures in there.  Light and dark, soft and hard denim, ripped and non ripped. Please don't be Britney , don't monotone your look. 2. Wear with character. Play with badges, brooches, hats, anything to break it up a bit. Check out Rih and Bey with their channel badges 3. Try a variety of pieces. It doesn't always have to be a shirt and skirt or jean trousers. Try a duster coat, a jacket, or dungarees to make it look more interesting  Lastly pair it up with nude pumps which  seem to be a blogger/ celeb favourite  Here is how I styled mine.  I wore dungarees with a distressed denim jacket and a fedora hat. Also threw in green pumps to give it a pop of colour.  Well there you have it. If in doubt, put the denim down and walk the other way, no body will judge you -?. Until next time buttercups. 

If you don't have a crisp white shirt in your wardrobe, look in the wardrobe of your other half, you will find one. I realised my husband has 379 crisp white shirts and I wondered why until it occurred to me 1.It is timeless 2. What happens when you pour palm oil on it, you need a back up ? 3. You can live in a crisp white shirt and jeans season after season, hot or cold weather and you will still look fly 4. Did I mention it was comfortable?  Four good reasons to go out and buy or nick one from a wardrobe near you.  One thing to consider when making this purchase, spend some money on this purchase, you will have it for a couple of years and will get a good wear out of it. Mine is oversize but I am also looking to purchase another, not slim fit but not oversize. See below how I styled it with palazzo trousers Shirt: Weekday stores Trousers : Very.co.uk Mules: Forever 21 Earrings: Hnm Until next time mi lovelies.
