My take on Casual-In Chinos

I so admire Jane Birkins casual style, she looks effortlessly chic whatever she wears and is a great source of inspiration when wanting to get that perfect casual look:

I'm really not a chinos girl, I adore denim and jeans and have a good collection of denim skirts, denim jackets and jeans. But an abundance of blue can get boring.

I was really chuffed to find these Gap chinos, which are from this summer season-a bargain at £4.55 in my local Heart Foundation charity shop. So, what to wear with them?

I decided to pair it with my M&S grey cashmere cardigan, which I adore-it has little glass buttons and is so cosy and stylish. Underneath I've a grey cami top.

Footwear isn't Converses or plimsoles, I'm wearing my newly acquired leopardprint satin ballet pumps, which have a gorgeous faux diamante detail on them. They were new from Matalan for only £12-see them online here!!

How are you doing casual this season?

Thrift Inspiration, Chloe Style

Well the other big trend for the upcoming season is Camel and Tan. I do love this look, but more on others than myself. Chloe certainly have some very inspirational looks for the Winter season:

I won't be buying anything additional this season for this trend as I'll wear my thrifted poncho from last winter, from the Cancer Research charity shop, £2.49. I'll pair it with my tan croc skinny belt, black wool leggings and tan leather boots.

Will you be in camel or tan this coming season?

Finale-Faux Fur Fest

Well my 2nd M&S faux fur bolero arrived today from ebay, I only won it Thursday night, so really good service received-it was only £1.20 plus £1.99 postage, a really good bargain!!

I'm pleased with it as it will be a great evening wear item with LBDs, my other 3 faux fur gilets are more daytime wear.

So, the grand total of faux fur gilets is 4-one in winter white, one in brown, one in black and the other is the faux shearling and embroidered one. I think I'm all done for gilets.

Now, what next for the wardrobe??

Faux Fur Fest-Part Three

This is my faux fur Marks & Spencer bolero that I won from ebay last week, including postage it was about £5 and I've already worn it twice this week-its the ideal cover up for the weather we are having.

I'm wearing the blouse I bought in a Clacton charity shop which is by Jeff Banks Studio, £2.49 and River Island skinnies from Sue Ryder charity shop, £4.99

I was so pleased with the bolero, I actually nabbed another one on ebay for £3 on Thursday in black!!

Wishing you all a great weekend!!

Thrift Inspiration, Chanel Style.........Doggy permitting!!

My faux fur passion continued at the boot sale as I acquired the 2 gilets I've already shown and as I've been hankering after a faux fur hat since last winter, I was pleased to bag my next bargain below. Inspired by Chanels grey faux fur accessories, I wanted something in grey, but not a bag or boots, although if I was gifted Chanels pieces below, naturally I would not say no, LOL!!

This grey faux fur hat was only £1 and just what I wanted for the coming winter:

Mind you, I am slightly worried about wearing it without being attacked-I heard Candy my dog barking furiously in the hallway and assumed she was barking at the front door for noises outside. I went to look at her and was most surprised to find her staring directly at my hat, drying on the clothes airer-she obviously thinks its a cat or rabbit and when I took it off and showed her, she tried to go for it!! Goodness knows what she will do when she sees it on my head, LOL!!
