Fashion Confidential

I've just come across a brilliant website called Fashion Confidential, which is a fabulous Style website dedicated to Designer Fashion and shopping all under one roof.

Its a comprehensive website that features an A-Z of different designers from a selection of Online Boutiques which include Matches, MyWardrobe, Net-A-Porter, Browns and CoutureLab, as well as some independent European boutiques such as Société Anonyme,Gaspard Yurkievich,The Old Curiosity Shop and Gallery.

Also check out Bargain Hunter where you can learn how to Shop A Sample Sale or spy Wardrobe Essentials, which are Fashion Confidentials pick of the best investment sales pieces available at the moment.

They also have an Online Magazine, the latest feature being 'Style Heroes of the Moment'-check out model Clemence Poesy, the actress epitomising French Chic and Style. The magazine also features brand APC, another gorgeous French label. It concentrates on clean lines, simple designs and this seasons collection features some cosy knitwear and a chic on trend trenchcoat.
I loved 'AnkleBiters', featuring a gorgeous selection of ankle boots from Alaia, McQueen, Dries Van Noten and Poltock & Walsh. If you're still hankering after OTK boots, then check out 'Thighs the Limit' which has some divine picks, including boots from Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Alaia.

My favourite areas are Style Report which is FashionConfidentials blog and is a must read daily fix of whats hot in the fashion world. Another area you'll be bookmarking will be the Sample Sale Diary which gives information on up-and-coming fashion events and luxury sample sales usually reserved for fashion insiders. Also another must read is the Designer Q&A, currently showing on my favourite covetable dress label Preen-I've always adored the Power dress-my favourite wishlist modern dress of the moment!!

Check out their website, I was really impressed and I'm sure you will be too!!

My Other Boot Sale Find!!

My visit to the boot sale last weekend was very successful. As you already know, I scored the vintage Christian Dior clutch which I was really pleased with. On the very last aisle I came across this leather jacket with faux fur collar that fits like a glove!

The lady must of liked me, as when I asked how much it was she said"Well it was £7, but you can have it for £4" How could I refuse such a kind offer, LOL!!

I also bought a River Island leopardprint bag from her too, which was a bargainous £3!! Other finds included a Calvin Klein Khakis skirt for £1, a pink Gap fitted shirt for £1.50, a Levis tee for £2, a Topshop breton style tee for 50p, so all in all a very productive morning at the booty!!

Vintage Christian Dior Find!!

Ever since I saw one of my favourite fashion blogger friends Silje with her vintage Dior clutch, I've been coveting one myself ever since. So at the weekend when I went to the boot sale for the first time in ages, I was delighted to bag this gorgeous find:

The price was even nicer, the lady only wanted £5!!!

I'm thrilled with it-its in fabulous condition, the inside has had a lot of use, but a quality item stands the test of time and it has no flaking or signs of tears.

This is one vintage piece I'll be using regularly this season!!

What I love over at Net-A-Porter

Following on from my previous post on scarfs, here is my scarf wishlist from Net-A-Porter, I totally adore all of these and the Alexander McQueen one is my absolute favourite, LOL!!

Alexander McQueen, £660

Michael Kors snood, £740

Miu Miu, £750

Matthew Williamson, £125

What style of scarf will you be going for this season?

Thrift Inspiration-Doing it 'Mum' style!

The lovely Kate of Make Do Style scored some totally gorgeous 70s maxi dresses last weekend, courtesey of her very generous mum-check them out here!

This fabulous haul of hers inspired me to go to my mums and collect my other 50s dress which has been languishing in her spare room.
About ten years ago, this was a regular in my wardrobe, until the zip bust. I always meant to get it repaired, so ten years on, I think it deserves to be fixed up and worn again. The colours are very autumnal and I can't wait for it to be up and running!!

I also have a matching duster coat for this dress, wide collared and very 50s style-one for the summer months I think!!

Here are the other two vintage original 50s dresses of my mums, now proudly mine!!

The black one is very good quality thick material, so a great stylish classic dress for this season

Have Kate and I inspired you to raid your mums or grans wardrobe-go on, you could be in for a lovely surprise!!!
