Doctor, Doctor...

I got a bad case of loving you...

Yep it's the bag style of the season and whilst they look super chic on the catwalk my only concern on catching a ride on the 'doctor tote wagon' was how to incorporate it into my style.  So here's an idea on what I'd wear, a kind of transeasonal look too with all this weird weather and I love the crop down boots with the silver embellishment, a definite item on this week's wish list!

1. Grey Jumper Kain £305 Net-a-Porter

2. Black leather Bag Zara £89.99 Zara

3. Rust Jacket Chalayan £1060 Net-a-Porter

4.Silver Necklace Hannah Martin £330 Hannah Martin

5. Black leather boots Jeffrey Campbell £105 Office

6. Cut off denim shorts Ksubi £135.50 Ksubi

A little Monday afternoon pick me up and dream wish list on this miserable day! I'm working on Net-a-Porter's trend presentation for F/W at the moment and am loving the Futuristic trend seen at Proenza, Wang and Hakaan.  The above is my little twist on the trend.  By adding the A-mazing cowboy boots from Isabel Marant's new collection the outfit is less 'Beam me up Scotty' and more urban and wearable - I'm not about to go out in a mirrored visor or crystal embellished eyebrows a la Chanel!  To keep it cool and laid back go for metallics with the crinkle effect leather like this Acne clutch, then the look doesn't become too shiny and new but more relaxed and edgy (just a little tip!)

1. Silver leather bag £190 Acne at net-a-porter.com

2. leather and suede boots, pre order at net-a-porter

3. White accetate watch $150 Nixon

4. Trousers soon to be at TRF Zara

5. Black leather cross belt £14 Topshop

6.White leather jacket £239 Studio at Zara

In the Sale

It's Sale Season!  The riffling through rails, the arm laden with clothes and the constant fear that the item you've waited to hit the sales has been snatched up by someone else.  So it's an added bonus of online shopping when you can browse without breaking a sweat at all the lovely reduced wonders.  This is my personal faourite, it comes in a bomber style too.  It's a great cross seasonal piece and might even be wirth getting in a size bigger so that it works for A/W's oversize trend. I love it with my ever faithful leather leggings and basic tee.

Reduced from £120 down to £70 you can get it (hassle free) here

Happy Shopping!

When I was little I absolutely loved Calamity Jane. I think I identified with her because of her, well...calamities!  (I was, and still am, a tad bit clumsy!)  And even now I find her an appealing character, not because of her rootin tootin storylines but due unwittingly to her fashion sense!  And it seems I'm not alone,  A/W shows brought with them the come back of the Wild West in the form of Miss Marant's tassles, prairie shirts and new take on the cowboy boot. So above for your viewing pleasure is how I've interpreted the micro trend for the modern day Calamity Jane.

 Look to your horses - we ride at dawn!

Covet-ed (verb): to wish for, especially eagerly

Let it be known, I'm a bit of a magpie, especially when it comes to a bit of Aztec inspired jewellery.  This little beaut caught my eye when I was browsing through Obey's jewellery pages (definately worth a look) and at only £40 it's something to snap up and sling on for effortless summer dressing. I'm envisaging a low neck white tee with ripped to shreds shorts and a loose waistcoat or teamed with a little black bikini for perfect, poolside posing!

Even though I'm not especially blessed with long legs, most of my life is lived in flats, being a naturally clumsy person heels are an added obstacle to me!   So when doing a spot of freelancing at Net-a-Porter and happening upon these great summer flats from Cobra Society, it was natural for me to fall in love.  The colour, the pattern, the steel toe detail - there is nothing that doesn't work about these shoes.   OK so there is one thing, at £295 they're a little out of my price range but a girl can dream can't she?!

If I could only choose one clothing company to wear all my life I think I would have to pick  US brand FreePeople.  Unfortunately the only way to get hold of their stuff is online (if anyone from FP is reading - a UK store would be much appreciated|) but the site is jam packed with amazing pieces.  If, like me, you're a bit of a hippy at heart then FreePeople have it all, lace flares, fringe bags and my fascination du jour, this amazing jacket made from recycled materials.   Wear with a pair of tie dyed jeans and a grey slouchy tank and being Eco has never looked do good!

If you've got the cash to burn buy online here: FreePeople

An added extra - I've had this on repeat whilst compiling this post. Muse, model, musician Lou Doillon has it all! Lou Doillon I.C.U
