Who wants these? Miu, Miu, Miu!

When it comes to shoes, i'm like a blackbird with sparkly objects; I just can't have enough of them. One designer who puts me in this state is Miu Miu. If you haven't heard of them then A) WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??? and B) You are missing out big time. If this is the case, then I will do the honours and introduce you and if not, prepare to be reunited.

Net-a-Porter's sale ends today so be quick to grab one of their last bargains. The shoe department certainly had some great buys and it's not just Miu Miu who have some gems left in the sale:

I love these brown Miu Miu wedges (£167 from £340) Good colour and perfect with trousers, shorts or skirts.

Alternatively if you prefer a slightly sportier look, these cream wedges, also by Miu Miu would be just the thing teamed with shorts, or a skirt for a more feminine look. Again £167 from £340.

These nude heels by Camilla Skovgaard (£117 from £335) are irresistable with their trademark razor soles and in this leg-lengthening colour who wouldn't want them?

Last but not least is Chole's take on the wedge. These ones priced at £195 (reduced from £465) have a pretty braid across the top and a slingback strap to keep them fixed firmly to those manicured feet.

Mulberry AW11 Preview

Mulberry has done it again. Gone and aced another season; it's no surprise Olivia Palermo, Clemence Posey and Gemma Arterton, amongst others were sitting FROW at the show.

With Creative Director Emma Hill at the helm, Mulberry has gone from strength to strength, with the AW11 collection proving that the brand is only going to get better. This season's collection is full to the brim with earthy browns, luxurious camels and gorgeous greens; perfect for a crisp Autumn. But it's not just the womenswear that caught my eye, the amazing selection of bags did too as they in my eyes, are what the brand does best. New for this season we have the Polly Push Lock (featured on the first campaign picture), various new specs of the Tillie (pictured below) and the Bayswater Satchel (pictured on the third ad campaign).

Here are some looks from the new collection and some of the photographs from the new ad campaign, Mulberry dog and all!

Trousers at their best.

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been looking for another pair of light-ish trousers that are suitable for me to wear to work as well as at the weekend for a more casual look and I've found them! The asos pairs were nice, although I found an even better pair in Gap which I had actually previously bought and returned (thank god I did as I ended up getting them for a tenner!) If that's not a bargain I dont know what is! The link is here: http://www.gap.eu/browse/product.do?cid=57404&vid=1&pid=834198as I couldn't get the picture to upload. They are a 50/50 linen/cotton mix and are so light, with a lovely big bow at the front, making them smart, but very feminine at the same time. I wore them to work today teamed with a blank tank, gladiators and a pink statement necklace and I have to say they were so comfortable. I would happily wear them again tomorrow!

I also bought a pair of navy chino-type trousers from Hollister (above) which have a preppier feel and can be worn full length or of course my favourite way; rolled up. They are beautifully soft and smell gorgeous thanks to Hollister's perfume which had been spritzed all over them. I'm going to wear them with a lacey top or blouse and my gladiators or loafers and possibly my brogues. I now feel I have plenty of bottoms to wear to work and as an alternative to jeans at the weekend. Perfect. These two pairs really are trousers at their best.

If however, you're not really feeling any of the above and maybe have a little more cash to spalsh, then head over to net-a-porter.com where you can find many other, slightly more expensive options. This wide-legged, cropped YSL pair certainly caught my eye (above) , and I'm sure they would catch a few others' too! It's one way to rock the neon trend; but at £730 it's certainly not a cheap one.

YSL was not the only fashion house that stood out as if you are a leopard print lover then I think I may have found the pair for you! Roberto Cavalli has hit the leopard print nail on the head with these silk trousers and teamed with sky high heels and a tucked in top you can do no wrong. Priced at £620 they definitely weren't made for students, suppose we will have to let the Victoria Beckham's of the world have these ones.

This week...

I started my summer job last monday and have been super busy going back and forth to Market Harborough, the stables and visiting my new best friend...the gym (almost every evening night, might i add!!) As a result my little bog has been a little bit neglected however, now I have a bit of spare time I'm going to channel it into making my little blog feel a little more loved...

Aside from work I have of course found the time to browse magazines, the web and the shops to find my new loves for this week. Starting with the new 'chelsea boot' which, according to Topshop is set to be a big hit for A/W11. Now so far I have only clocked Topshop's version but if they are anything to go by I have absolutely no doubt that other high street store will catch on as well as the likes of Burberry, Mulberry and Louis Vuitton who are bound to all have very similar desgins hitting their stores come the Autumn.I am also managing to shop (with no money) for bargains in the summer sales (quite a talent, I know!) Currently i'm loving Olivia Rubin and Wildfox; they both have some pieces i've been after for a while so when payday comes in two weeks time I will be praying they still have what I want in stock, so that gorgeous zebra print dress, brick tee and slouchy vest top can be mine! SO if you are listening Olivia Rubin, PLEASE KEEP REDUCING YOUR PRICES!!!!


As I mentioned earlier I've been going to the gym just about every evening after work, good effort right!? My new favourite class is....spinning, and for those of you unaware of that is, it's basically 45 minutes sweating it out on a bike. It is ALOT harder that it at first appears. Trust me. After my first class, I was unusre if I had legs at all, they were so jelly like it was ridiculous and I have to say the second time was not any better. Despite the severe sweating and red-face side affects, it really does make you feel great afterwards and apparently it gives results, and I should blooming well hope so, given the effort it takes!! Find a local class and give it a go if you dare!

Since I have been so good working and gymming I have decided that I've earnt myself some new work clothes. Yes. SHOPPING!! I really need *cough* want *cough* some new trousers, preferably a chino or a light linen pair which I can wear either full length or alternatively, turned up (not that I need to look any shorter, but anyway...) I have looked everywhere but I can't seem to find anything I like and it's not helping that I can't wear ones which are pleated as they make my legs look awful. I'd rather go naked than wear pleated trousers. It's that bad. I did however, today come across two lovely pairs on ASOS. One is a fitted cropped linen pair, (light and comfortable) and the other a chino, which I believe can be worn rolled up too (fashionable and suitable for work or play.) So, which do I choose? I think I will most definitely get at least one or the other that is if I fail to find anything at Milton Keyenes tomorrow. Trouser search to be continued...
