In the Pink for Spring!!

Many designers are 'in the pink' this Spring and Summer-according to those in the know, 'Sorbet' shades are the new pastels!!

Net-A-Porter and Browns Fashion are both already offering some gorgeous pink offerings, here a pick of my favourites:

Sonia Rykiel, £172

Acne peg jeans, £125

Vivienne Westwood, £157

Azzedine Alaia, £560


Thankfully, I'm already in the pink. My Burberry blazer that I bought at Mrs Stings Designer sale a couple of years ago with the wonderful WendyB will ensure that I'm in trend this season and I'll be able to wear it with jeans, skirts or dresses for lots of versatile looks.

Will you be in 'Sorbet' shades this Spring or Summer?

Halston, £455

Halston, £458

Halston, £535

Halston, £782

Halston, £880

Meet Minquilla!!!

Last month I found this faux fur vintage jacket in the Saint Francis Hospice charity shop for only£5. The label is by 'Lister' and the coat is called 'Minquilla'-a faux fur mink, I presume, LOL!! Anyhow, its cosy enough for me and I'll be wearing it a lot this winter!!

I'm wearing my 'Patty Ann' Levi's jeans and my newly worn high heel boots that I got for £5 a few months ago, thrifted!!

I've also been wearing this grey snood a lot lately, its from Primark and I've had it a few months now and find it to be a great winter basic.

What are you wearing mostly this winter?

Doing the List- Make Do Style, Of Course

The lovely Kate at Make Do Style recently composed a 'Quality v Quantity 2009 Top Ten List and with her other post, 'Tinsel & Champagne' which gave same great tips, really got me thinking about what I have on the list and what I don't have.

Here are some of my most covetable pieces, numbered to Kates list:

Ossie Clark for Radley dress, number 8

My Diana Ring, number 5

Chanel Jacket, number 6 (I went for a jacket, as my coats aren't statement enough!!)

Cacherel Scarf, number 3

Jasper Conran Wedge Courts, number 7

Black Pencil skirt, nearly on the list!


Chanel Bag, number 2

Here is her list in full:


1. A watch
2. A bag
3. A scarf
4. Pearl necklace
5. Beautiful jewellery
6. A beautiful or timeless coat
7. Great pair of shoes
8. A gorgeous dress
9. White shirt
10. Great pair of jeans

And the nearly there... a pair of black trousers, a pencil skirt, a Chanel suit and a cashmere sweater.

So armed with such useful information, I see that I am devoid of.........

1. A watch

I do have numbers 4, 9 and 10, but not pictured. So, my wishlist for 2010 is this so far........

1. A watch (maybe a Birthday present)
2. For Summer 2010-A pair of skinny cropped jeans
3. For Winter 2010- A black cashmere jumper (or merino wool will suffice)

After sorting out my wardrobe earlier, I have plenty dresses, jackets, blazers, blouses, tops, tees, cardigans and jumpers-well lucky me, not much to have to scour for next year-I may have a real chance of following Kates advice of trying to save, but with a teenage son who is beginning to acquire his style, I think my pounds and pennies could well be going in his direction, LOL!!

How about you doing the list-Make Do Style of course-it really helps to fill in the blanks of what is or isn't in the wardrobe!!
