Exciting times! After a recent promotion and my move to New York I feel I have earned a new Mulberry! For anyone that reads the blog regularly you will know I am a huge fan of the brand and have a much loved Bayswater already. But which to get? What do you think…
Navy Heritage Bayswater Satchel
I have gone on enough about getting ready for my first New York winter… but I am still not prepared! I am really not a fan of puffer jackets but everyone keeps telling me I need to get one as it gets soooo cold. So I have been having a look around and haven’t found anything until I spotted this Penfield Hoosac jacket…. love! What do you think? Anyone recommend getting a Penfield?
Yep we are truly in awards season now with the Golden Globes a week ago, Sundance Film Festival kicked off last week and the Oscars just around the corner! Ooh the fashion and men in suits! What else could a girl want.
I was looking through the photos from the Sundance Film Festival getting some tips on how to wrap up warm whilst also trying to be stylish…
Love Christina Hendricks animal print hat and Jimmy Choo handbag.
I would quite like Michael Cera’s hat…
Elizabeth Olsen was cozy in her down feather puffer ( I really just can’t down with puffer jackets!)
Can summer hurry up please! I am so better prepared for that.
With all the hype around the new film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo it got me thinking about celeb film make unders…
Rooney Mara is transformed in the film into a tormented computer hacker, channeling ‘gutter’ chic! A far cry from her Social Network character and everyday look!
Rooney Mara – Before .. she is an effortless beauty
Rooney Mara – As Lisbeth Salander
Looking not so hot in the film Monster…
I am a big fan of Kate Winslet, but the Reader… ok maybe it is because I didn’t like the film or Kate’s character.
Kate at this years Golden Globes…
In the film the Reader..
Who would of thought some of the worlds most glamorous women could look so horrid….
Shoe ‘tini’ is back!
With plenty of shoes to consume over the holidays I am back with a back log… so of course I had to share my amazing Christmas Jimmy Choo Hunter boots first off! I feel very lucky… a certain friend obviously reads the blog! Can’t wait to trot around New York in the snow in these babies. What do you think?
Grey hair? I am all for a dip dye (I have my very dark roots dyed in..) but grey…. Not sure I can get down with that.
With the Golden Globes this evening/today it has got me very excited about which celeb will be wearing what designer.. so I thought I would take a look back at last years fashion ahead of later..
Emma Stone rocked the pastels last year. But something tells me this year she is going to wear a show stopper of a dress! After her movie success in 2011 I am expecting big things.
Halle Berry is hot! With her recent engagement announcement to Olivier Martinez I am expecting flesh and lots of PDA’s!
January Jones! After the recent birth of her first baby and the controversy over who the baby daddy is, I think January will be smouldering and sexy in a sophisticated way this year.
Roll on the red carpet!
First off let me apologise for the lack of posts! Lets just say life has got in the way of blogging the last few weeks but hopefully now there is light at the end of the tunnel!
So in the last few weeks…
Christmas!!
Alcohol… and a flight upgrade! Thanks British Airways.
Disco fries and far to much diner food..
Tartinis had New Year’s Eve in New York City – Yep that meant beer pong!
Oh and lobster….
Sorry for the lack of posts! Christmas was insane flying all over the place, work, eating… anyways we are back and very excited for the new year!
Christmas gave me time to think about what is missing from my wardrobe… I have been banging on about getting a leather skirt for ages and I think it will have to be purchase number one of 2012. Here are some of the beauties I have been eyeing up:
Maje (I LOVE Maje!) Jalouse skirt
Alice + Olivia pleated leather skirt
Marc Jacobs rose pleated leather skirt
Madewell leather belltoll skirt
I should probably get all of them just to make sure… a perfect winter wardrobe must have!
Sorry for the lack of posting! This week has been manic, so as everyone closes up shop for Christmas I thought I would crack out a classic…
Ashley Tisdale is looking hot to trot in this photo! Love the nautical stripes and leather skirt combo, this screams look at what your missing to me… for all of you who have head your head stuck in wrapping paper this week. Ashley split with her long term boyfriend, who I bet is feeling a little sick after seeing this photo…
Yep you heard Hunter Wellies! They’re a wardrobe staple, a festival goers must have and a winter essential. Scrap that just an essential! They come in a range of colours and designs, I love their newest edition the below laced Verbier booties:
But in my eyes the classic hunter welly rocks, I am sure it can be found at the bottom of every celebrities wardrobe and farmers of course! Add them to the Christmas wish list….
As you are quite aware from all my posts, I am stocking up on warm clothes for the New York winter. I noticed last week I was running very low on tights, warm ones anyway and decided to head to Gap to stock up. Well I went in for tights and left with practically half the store! They had one of the best sales I have seen in ages, check out what I got..
A lovely cosy gilet – $30
Shirt – $11
Jacket – what for it… $27
As if it couldn’t get any better… hats, scarves and gloves were buy one get one free!
Love this photo of Marc Jacobs in US Vogue this month!
I totally love Hugh Jackman’s wife! Ok, so this isn’t the best photo… as we all know white socks and black shoes are a big no no. But, what I mean is she is a proper woman, not 40 years younger than him, no fake boobs, some might even say true love! Aaaah please don’t be sick on your computer screens. Do you get what I mean?
It was a tough call this week deciding what was going to make it on to Shoe ‘tini’… then I came across these light ladies… I have a mega soft spot for an animal print! These Miu Miu biker boots are to die for, with a buckled harness detail around the heel and leopard print upper. They can dress down any party dress and would look perfect with skinny jeans. Add to my Christmas wish list please…
I totally need this Victoria by Victoria Beckham cat print dress! When can I get it?
Featured post: As most of you know we are big fans of heritage brand’s… and on my recent search for a good winter coat I came across an old friend… Henri Lloyd.
Which got me reminiscing… whilst in school I actually owned a Henri Lloyd (a Harrington to be specific, similar to the one above, COOL!), it was pretty much all the rage to have one! They are not in the traditional sense a heritage brand, as say Burberry. But, founded in the 1960′s in Manchester (where I was born) it tugs on my sentimental heart strings!
From a history point of view Henri Lloyd coats where actually and still are made for technical sports, most famously sailing. They have the worlds leading range of sailing jackets, with many adventurers including Sir Ranulph Fiennes opting to wear the brand. Bear Grylls eat your heart out!
Anyway, back to my search for a winter coat…. I am still looking! The search continues urgh……
Tomorrow is my work Christmas Party. Now, I’ve always managed to get out of work Christmas parties, but not this year and to be honest I’m not looking forward to it (bah humbug!). But tis the season and another perfect excuse to splurge on a new dress! Here are some of our faves to get us in the festive holiday spirit…
I’m in love with this little white dress by Zac Posen for the ultimate chic party look

Channel Diane Kruger in this very pretty embellished dress from Asos

Shake your tail feather with this little number from River Island
Motel Rocks have a great selection of party dresses, and with this exclusive discount code you can get 15% off anything on their site – SEQUIN15. Amazing! This is our favourite dress from their Christmas party dress selection, adding a bit of sparkle to our wardrobes!!
I saw this photo of Shenae Grimes this weekend in the most to die for seasonal tights! I need these in my life, so I took to the web to find some… I can’t find a nice pair anywhere!!! Help!
