<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I did it - I went and got myself a fedora. I'm still not quite sure if I can pull it off - I love the idea of hats and they always seem to look okay when trying them on in the shop, but then I tend to get them home and just can't seem to make them work. I am determined to persevere with <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=fedora&storeId=12556&productId=14742952&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057" target="_blank">this</a> because people that do always look so darned cool. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I teamed it with my well loved camel coat, a black Uniqlo polo neck (it's still bloody freezing so thermals are very necessary), and this lovely Topshop <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=13917112&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=&searchTerm=TS27M13FMUL&resultCount=1&geoip=home" target="_blank">skirt</a> I picked up the other day. I can't wait to strip off the tights and wear it barelegged in summer with sandals, but for now <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=11629984&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=&searchTerm=TS42M55EBLK&resultCount=1&geoip=home" target="_blank">these</a> horsey loafers just about do the trick. </span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-80492265626788365172014-02-17T16:00:00.000-08:002014-07-26T05:52:37.322-07:00Burberry<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After an extremely long weekend of working very hard, it all paid off - and the reward could not have been better. I was lucky enough to go the Burberry men's show a few seasons back, which was obviously amazing, so as you can imagine I was over the moon to have the opportunity to attend the women's show this season. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The incredible show space in Hyde Park was completely filled to bursting, and we were running late, which meant a place standing at the back with only a view between heads, but oh what a view. Mr Kane had really outdone himself this season (as with every season really) and the collection was stunning. Hand painted bags, personalised shawls for every model, and all complemented by beautiful fresh faced glows and rosy hues thanks to the talented Wendy Rowe, set to the most fantastic live sound track including the almost deafeningly loud Paloma Faith. Well, it definitely took a little while to come down from cloud 9 after that... Though the sixty emails waiting for me on returning to the office helped reality sink in a little faster. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well what do you know, it was Valentine's day and my (imaginary) boyfriend forgot to buy me a gift... so felt that I should just get myself one in the form of this gorgeous little Lulu Guinness. I've wanted one of these babies for as long as I can remember, they're just so cheeky, and can't ever imagine them going out of style as they must bring a smile to every single pair of chops that see them. Today I was meant to be attending a few Fashion Week presentations but alas duty calls, and I'm going to be working all weekend instead. Fashion just ain't as fun as you'd imagine, but oh well. I dragged myself away from my laptop for a little while so I could snap what I would have worn had I gone (don't worry, iphone was close by for constant email refresh). This outfit is nothing too spectacular, but what with my new clutch, and <a href="http://www.warehouse.co.uk/dogtooth-skirt/skirts/warehouse/fcp-product/4349072477" target="_blank">this</a> Warehouse dogtooth mesh overlay, 50s style skirt, a simple white oxford jazzed up with a diy chiffon bow, some black pointed heels, and a dash of red lipstick seemed like all that was needed.</span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-27673485701451650262014-02-09T20:30:00.000-08:002014-03-30T04:14:59.980-07:00Brighton Rock<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Bright and early this morning I hopped on the train down to Brighton to visit my lovely ladies Emily and <a href="http://www.yourstrulyxblog.com/" target="_blank">Kerry</a> for a spot of shopping in the lanes, and what turned out to be a lot of eating as well! Emily has only just moved down, so we were taking the opportunity to put Kerry's vast knowledge to good use, and have her show us the best places to pick up vintage, homewares and grub. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">She did not disappoint! We could have spent a small fortune between us in Snoopers Paradise and Beyond Retro, as well as many other of her secret spots, but alas we were good and instead saved our penny's for more important luxuries (ice cream and photo booths). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It wasn't a hot day by any means, but we somehow managed to dodge the showers and the sun peeking through tempted us into Gelato Gusto, leading us to the hardest decision of our lives - they have so many incredible sounding flavours, how are we meant to pick just one! I ended up with Cherry cola (AMAZING), Kerry went with Gingerbread crunch, and Emily the delicious Ecuadorian dark chocolate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After more wandering, and plenty more giggling it was time to catch the train home. I'll be back before you know it mis amigos!</span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-40125742167249059162014-02-05T17:30:00.000-08:002014-04-08T06:06:52.589-07:00Meow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">All this horrible grey weather is really starting to affect my outfit choices, not to mention my mood. Grey is the most befitting colour to match this in the form of this cropped jumper that I picked up in Topshop's sale, accompanied with a side order of <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/jeans-446/joni-super-high-waisted-jeans-1108/moto-black-joni-jeans-2144875?refinements=category~%5b941191%7c208527%5d&bi=21&ps=20" target="_blank">black Joni's</a> (the most flattering jeans ever).

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Winter come at me - I am fully ready for you. I spent yesterday in London getting absolutely peed on by the rain, however all was fine as I was in my new Zara duffle, which is the cosiest coat you can imagine. It does upset me a little that it doesn't have toggle fastenings, but it does have a beaut tweed lining, so I guess I shouldn't be so picky. My Kanken mini is also my new best friend - it fits my camera in plus everything else that must be lugged with me 24/7 minus the backache which usually comes with carrying all this. My cosy cropped aran knit, Topshop devore blouse, cord AA circle skirt and these beyond perfect chelsea boots also from Topshop, not only did a great job at keeping me warm, I then managed to transform them for an impromptu night of dancing. This may have been helped along with a few cocktails convincing me that a tied up blouse (Britney style) looked okay, but we'll just ignore that. </span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-2917556275646381802014-01-02T19:00:00.000-08:002014-03-30T04:14:05.428-07:00Liberté<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today I spent the day up in London, exploring Liberty's treasure trove of fabrics with my Mum and Nana - we're all avid stitchers - followed by a spot of lunch and a trip to the Prince Charles cinema in Leicester Square to watch Philomena. It was such a treat for all three generations and definitely something that will have to happen on a more regular basis! I didn't take many pictures, but just couldn't resist snapping some of the gorgeous floral lawns.</span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-42050237457138547232013-12-28T14:00:00.000-08:002014-04-08T05:44:54.617-07:00Sale Finds<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For no particular reason, other than to get away from the norm for a few days, myself and a few friends took a little trip up to Iceland for a long weekend. Arriving late on Thursday night, and leaving first thing on Sunday morning, we literally had 48 hours to fill in Reykjavik. Of course, first things first on the agenda was breakfast, we found this lovely hidden cafe, 'The Grey Cat' and ate our weight in pancakes, eggs and bacon in preparation for the day ahead. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Next up we went to the Reykjavik Art Museum. Even though we were only in Iceland for two days, there's not a whole load to do there, so it was lovely to walk around and spend time just taking everything in. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not as cold as you would imagine, and just so calm and beautiful, we found it really easy to wander around the city. That night we went out for dinner, and then headed back to the hostel where we made friends with a few locals who invited us and a few others in our dorm to come out with them. Big heads up to anyone thinking of going to Iceland, you HAVE to stay in the <a href="http://www.kexhostel.is/" target="_blank">Kex Hostel</a>, everything about it was fantastic - the staff, the decor, the amazing bar downstairs. We couldn't fault it in any way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We got up early on our second morning and headed to the Blue Lagoon to sooth our hangovers. It was quite an odd experience, like being in a huge extremely warm bath, whilst having snow sprinkled on your nose from the sky! After an incredible burger back at the hostel, followed by a little nap I was awoken by shouts from Mayo and Tara - I was missing the Northern Lights! Since being told by the staff at the hostel that the activity was quite low the few days we were there, and the weather extremely cloudy, we really didn't expect that we would get to see them. But there they were! I got to see them again later on as well, this time even brighter, arcing across the whole sky with their amazing green lights. Giddy with happiness, we made our way out to some of the local bars to boogie on down, and who should we see... BJORK! I really don't think you could have asked for more in a trip to Iceland - snow, the Northern Lights, and dancing with their national treasure. What a weekend! </span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-32735983073203796012013-12-01T17:30:00.000-08:002014-02-20T06:55:29.236-08:00Tis the season...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I really wanted to put myself out of my comfort zone when styling these 3 outfits. Leather isn't something I would normally go for whatsoever, but the high street have picked up the trend and run with it. If you hadn't noticed (are you blind ?!) it's everywhere, and being produced in extremely wearable styles. For my first outfit above I am wearing a full leather skirt from H&M, paired with a delicate pink cardigan. I felt very much like an off duty ballerina, I couldn't stop swishing around and was all ready to don my ballet bun and start my plies. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Outfit no.2 is a bit more of a day outfit, with this cosy aran knit jumper from Topshop layered with classic Oxford and (slightly tiny) leather shorts from H&M. I like that they make the outfit a little bit more exciting than just your standard cut offs, while still keeping the overall look casual enough to pop down to the shops in without people thinking you're into S&M. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This outfit was one that I was very unsure about when I was laying it out - the tight knee length pencil skirt made me a little bit scared. I am quite (*very) short so both this skirt and the one before were not lengths I am used to at all. There was something about it though when I put it on, I couldn't help but feel great, (god forbid) even sexy ? Now don't get me wrong, I don't think I could pair it with anything other than a casual knit like this - I'm not suddenly going to start dressing like a sex kitten, wearing it with sky high heels and a tiny top it would just feel alien to me. But the fit is just so spot on, and actually makes me look slightly curvy (shock! horror! gasp!) that I couldn't help but feel a little smug at my new purchase. </span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-70338526843519988252013-11-15T18:30:00.000-08:002014-02-10T04:00:55.203-08:00Could I get a little plate of spaghetti?<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The first chilly day, of many more to come I am sure, called for the excavation of my favourite faux fur hat. I've had this for a few years now, and every time I wear it I can't help but feel instantly more glamorous, and just ever so slightly Russian. Oh and it keeps my head pretty cosy too! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also cannot stop wearing pinafores, particularly for work, they're just so easy to slip on over a shirt (slightly in love with the paisley print on this Urban Outfitters baby) and then pair up with heeled brogues and my Cambridge Satchel. </span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-2864415927790157482013-11-02T08:30:00.000-07:002014-02-15T14:09:38.573-08:00Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm off up to Norfolk this morning to visit my Grandpa, which calls for layers, thick knits and a big coat. These check shorts are a new purchase from Topshop, and fast becoming a favourite in my wardrobe, though not sure how much good their going to be at keeping me warm! Oh and apologies for my chronic bitch face, it was far too early in the morning when these were taken.</span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-33176063886956836382013-10-31T19:30:00.000-07:002014-02-10T04:02:23.890-08:00Pinafore, Pumpkins and Paisley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I spent this extremely chilly Sunday meandering around Oxford, perhaps slightly unprepared for the wet and windy weather. We didn't really come for any reason other than to restock our coffee bean supply, and to admire some beautiful architecture, so it was quite a lovely day (until it started chucking it down). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I recently rediscovered this Topshop blouse at the back of my wardrobe, and decided it would make an absolutely perfect pairing with my American Apparel <a href="http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/chiffon-double-layered-shirred-waist-skirt_rsa0325s" target="_blank">chiffon skirt</a> and camel coat that I managed to score in Topshop's sale last Christmas. These Asos <a href="http://www.asos.com//Asos/Asos-Sidewalk-Heeled-Slippers/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3013735" target="_blank">heels</a> are my new favourite thing, paisley, cut outs and a bit of a heel - yes, yes, and yes again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This week has been a little bit hectic to say the least! As I've mentioned before we work quite a lot with Burberry Beauty, and to celebrate the launch of their new Brit Rhythm perfume, invited international press to stay in London to give them the chance to explore their latest addition. Not many of you might know, but Burberry have also recently launched their nail polish range, with the most perfect colour palette you can imagine. Reds to nudes to metallic coppers and greys. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As part of their stay the press members were treated to a complimentary manicure, provided by our team. I had the absolute pleasure of coordinating this, and even managed to get my hands on one of the new <a href="http://uk.burberry.com/nail-polish-steel-grey-no200-p38874401" target="_blank">polishes</a>! </span>victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10206423837443713205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438471720727511311.post-32371199972168979092013-10-13T13:12:00.000-07:002014-02-15T13:12:55.837-08:00Black and Gold<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">To cut down on costs, and help me attempt to save a little bit of dolla, I've started taking a packed work to lunch, which of course meant purchasing a new <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/uk/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=5533400060012" target="_blank">lunch box</a> and <a href="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30233692/" target="_blank">flask</a>. Soup never tasted so good.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm sorry, but who does not love Ikea?! It's one of my favourite places - how sad is that. Every time I go I have to reenact 500 Days of Summer (this time we went there actually WAS a Chinese family in the bathroom!), get my meatball fix, and of course come away with a load of 'stuff' that I didn't realise I actually needed until I found it after following the yellow arrows. Oh and didn't actually end up getting what we went there for!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was feeling a little nautical when getting dressed this morning, as I'm sure you can tell by my sailor-esque get up! The coat was a sale find from H & M a few years back, and the bag is vintage from eBay (I like the fact it perfectly matches my <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-MATCH-Leather-Brogues/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2794020&SearchQuery=brogue&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=Brown" target="_blank">brogues</a>). I'm also wearing the <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=mom+shorts&storeId=12556&productId=11944146&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057" target="_blank">'Mom' shorts</a> from Topshop - the first pair I have bought from there which actually cover my bum! And yes, another <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=petite+stripy&storeId=12556&productId=11901495&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057" target="_blank">stripy tshirt</a>, it's an addiction I just can't help myself.</span></div>
