Olivia Palermo Style For You
December 7, 2011 § Leave a comment
Who does not love Olivia Palermo? This young, beautiful and oh-so-fashionable New York socialite took the world by storm to become the hottest entry in every best dressed list. Everyone wants to be her, let alone dress like her. That is why it is so terribly exciting that Olivia has edited Topshop holiday season collection to select the items she absolutely loves. And now we get to buy them knowing we got the approval of Miss Palermo herself.
Above are a just a few items from her selection that I absolutely love:
Purple Velvet Harness Corset, £30. Planet Flared Heel Platform Moccasins, £95. Floppy Boy Fedora, £25. Half Moon Cross Body Bag, £28. Knitted Gold Beaded Dress, £110. Possess Studded Ankle Boots, £150.

Not Your Usual Skinny Jeans
November 29, 2011 § 2 Comments
It is cold outside and I bet many of you ditched the skirts and resort to your favourite skinnies on daily basis. But I’m here to remind you that wearing jeans should not be mundane and boring – especially not this season!
Topshop is leading the fashion pack of high street retailers by spoiling you for choice: not only are there different colours to choose from, Topshop has been playing with textures hence you can get oh-so-fabulous wet look jeans or even a shiny coated ones!
Here is my top three pairs of jeans by Moto at Topshop you have to add to your wardrobe to spice up your winter (pictured above):
1. Moto Wet Look Coated Skinny Jeans in Burgundy, £40
2. Moto Gem Studded Skinny Jeans in Ecru, £70
3. Moto Coated Leigh Skinny Jeans in Pink, £50 (worn by Amelia Lily on Saturday’s X Factor – love that girl and love matching jeans to hair colour)
Let’s not fall into wearing mundane clothes! ‘Break the mold!’ (As the VO5 adverts state, about hair styling products in their case, but applicable here nevertheless, I hope).
But if you are not ready to step out in colour (I am not judging, maybe next winter?) here is some advise on your more conventionally coloured skinnies. For indigo/black/grey jeans from high street have a look around River Island. I have never been a big fan of their denim collections until recently, but now my wardrobe is filled with multiple colour version of the same style – it just fits right!
High Street Ankle Boots To Die For
October 20, 2011 § 1 Comment
Ankle boots are the most multifunctional shoe style for autumn as they take you from day to night. While scanning the usual suspects of high street retailing I picked out my 3 favourite styles that won’t blow your bank. Here they are:
1. Topshop Absinthe Metal High Heel Boots in black for £80. Love the chunky heel – great for toughening up girly outfits for a high fashioned look. Plus super comfortable for round the clock wear.
2. KG Ellison Multicoloured Ankle Boots are currently on sale for just £89 (were £150). Colourful and a lot of fun – just what you eed to brighten up grey autumn days.
3. River Island Dark Green Platform Ankle Boots for £100 – a perfect colour for this autumn. It is all in the detail – woven strap with metal buckle and large stitches make it stand out.
What Topshop Got Right

Well, Topshop gets a lot of things right, let’s not question that. But out of the whole range it has provided us this Autumn (and admittedly as a king of fast fashion it has given us a massive amount to choose from), there is one particular thing that sticks out as ‘spot on’. And that is the beautiful print dresses.
Here I want to highlight two dresses that epitomise this year’s fabulous Topshop design – Wallpaper Ombre Midi Shirt Dress and Multi Animal Print Ombre Dress (£80 ans £50 respectively). If you only buy two things from the store, stick to these – they are what I call the ‘easy to wear’ pieces meaning once you put them on you do not have to spend much time on picking the right shoes or doing your hair – anything will go because these dresses already make the outfit on their own. Hence, easy to wear!
Let’s Go Ethnic!

Ethnic prints are everywhere. I bet you have already noticed the ladies (and the gentlemen) of fashion adopt the trend – Chloe Sevigny, Leighton Meester and Rihanna to name a few.
For me there is one fashion brand that hit the nail on the head particularly well – Proenza Schouler. From its reincarnation of PS1 bag in ethnic print to dresses, skirts, jumpers and any other garment you can think of – the label is rocking the ethnic trend! And if you can afford the prices, you will be absolutely spoiled for choice.
But, this blog post is about finding the trendy pieces without blowing your bank. Here is my top 3 picks:
1. Multi Print One shoulder Maxi dress, £68 from Topshop.
2. Sale item, ASOS Ikat Leggings for just £12.
3. Lykke Navaho Pussybow Blouse from boohoo.com for £20.
Happy Weekend Shopping!
