Sonia Rykiel

Great news, Thanks to the gorgeous Everybody Says Don't, who alerted me to the fact that Sonia Rykiel is doing a collaberation with H&M and the knitwear collection is due out around February 2010- for more information, check out this Telegraph article too:

These pictures are from Sonia's A/W 09/10 collection

Last year, I scored this totally gorgeous Sonia Rykiel jumper from Help The Aged charity shop for only £2.49. Its definitely my favourite jumper and I can't wait to start wearing it again this season!!

Favourite Denim Pieces for this season

I love denim, so I thought I'd share some of my favourite pieces with you that I intend to wear this autumn and winter.

Last years find, a Topshop gilet with fur trim

Big E Levi's shirt, worn layered

Levis vintage waistcoat, great over a skinny polo neck

My beloved Jean Paul Gaultier denim jacket, worn over a woollen LBD

Topshop stretch denim skirt

What denim pieces will you be wearing this winter season?

Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Net-A-Porter Style!!!

Ok, so its not new news that biker jackets are in this season, Net-A-Porter have a fabulous one by Doma in beige for £550

I already have my black biker style jacket, but was eager to get a real biker style with the stud, epaulettes, collar and asymetric zipper detail.

I was pleased to score this vintage leather browny beige jacket on Ebay for a bargainous £25 this week. Its hard even to get a faux leather jacket for around this price, so when it came and actually fitted like a glove, I was very pleased indeed!!

What winter trend piece has you drooling at the moment?

Safari dress-A timeless piece for the wardrobe

Safari style dresses have been in style for decades now and come into trend every now and then. I bagged a Morgan safari dress this summer at the boot sale and as we are experiencing an Indian Summer, I thought I'd wear it

Carrie in her vintage Halston safari dress

Yves Saint Laurent, late 60s

My dress was only £2, but its a keeper for future summers and works well by itself or with leggings

What timeless classic do you enjoy wearing?

My Kimono

For an absolute age, I've been after a decent gown, instead of throwing on hubbys cast off jumpers of an evening to keep me warm, LOL!!

I found a little mini length kimono in the charity shop a few weeks back, but didn't buy it, even though it was only £1.50-goodness knows what I was thinking!! I went back for it a couple of days later, but of course it was gone-rule number one of thrifting which I broke to my cost-'If in doubt, DO buy it' Its rare a gem will be there when you go back for it.

So at the boot sale a couple of Sundays ago, I was pleased to see, laying in a heap, this gorgeous authentic Japanese silk kimono for only £1!!!

Its a great length for lounging about in and is reversible too!!

This was definitely my boot sale bargain of the month, as I doubt I'll be going back to one for this year-the season tends to wind down and in my area, they'll be finished around October.

So another item off the wishlist-and a unique buy at that!!
