Any Where but Here

Poncho ASOS, Shorts Levis 501 ebay, Top H&M, Wedges Blue Inc, Hat Stefanel, Bag ebay

I know I don't live in California or Australia but I really love this look it does stick out like a sore thumb where I live but hey who wants to walk around in PJ bottoms and back combed hair the uniform in my town. I have been buying up loads of Levis 501 from ebay to cut into shorts such a cool idea on a budget and Levis 501 do make the best cut offs.

Textures

Faux Fur Jacket Next, Jacket Thifted, Vintage Leather Shorts ebay, Tee Day Birger, Hat Stefanel, Wedges ebay

I was told the other day that I have a face for hats which is good thing as I seem to be living in them at the moment and they are also soooo not practical as it has been mega windy lately and it is a task to keep them on my head. I love playing around with textures I do the same when I merchandise the rails at work it really adds depth and interest to an outfit.

Stefanel S/S11

As you guys may be aware I am a real fan of Stefanel and wanted to share some images from their S/S11 campaign taken by Mario Testino with you. Daria Werbowy is once again the face of the brand and boy does she rock it.

Heavy Hearted

Hat Stefanel, Leggings H&M (old), Boots Pied A Terre

The Topshop boots arrived but sadly they were uncomfortable and as I wanted them for work and I am on my feet at least eight hours a day I decided with a very heavy heart to take them back.

How hot does Kate look in her green dress???

Distressed and Exposed

Dress ebay, Jacket Gerard Darel, Boots Stefenal, Rosary Primark

I totally forgot about this leather look dress I won it on ebay last year. It is so hard to wear a leather look dress without looking a little tarty. I decided to play with it and teamed it with a leopard print jacket I thought it would be too much but with black tights and contrasting heels it worked.

Oh btw this is my spare bedroom that I am also in the middle of decorating once this is finished I can move the furniture from the other spare room which will be my dressing room and then I will be finished thought the exposed plaster and distressed look of the room would make a good backdrop????

I want cant have

Maxi Dress H&M, Fur Jacket Next, Boots Topshop, Hat Stefenal

I really want the Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots but due to funding and the fact that no where in the UK stocks them I have kind of given up on the idea and then I remembered I has these wedges from Topshop and decided that they are a good alternative. I love that this maxi dress from summer can be updated by throwing a piece of knitwear over it.

The old things are the best

Poncho MaxMara, Top TK Maxx, Vintage Leather Shorts eBay, Boots Spartoo, Bag Farhi by Nicole Farhi

I brought this MaxMara poncho years ago (I cant even remember how long ago) I was draw to the chunky knit and tassels I wore it a couple of times last year but taking inspiration from Stefanel I decided to team it with leather shorts (yawn I know but I love them) and slouchy boots. It is still warm enough to wear boots without socks not sure how much longer I can work this look plus I am having to keep up my summer beauty routine as normally by now my legs would be hidden under tights until summer.
