TALKING CAMEL







Coat: Paisie / Boots: Rupert Sanderson / Bracelet: Asos / Sweater: MSGM / Sunglasses: Asos / Scrub: Elemental Herbology / Shoes: Alexander Wang / Ring: Asos  / Nail Polish: Nars / Bra: Kiki de Montparnasse / Top: Somerset by Temperley / Clutch:Asos / Pants: Joseph

--------------------
                                                                      


 Creamy caramel, burnt toffee, biscuit, whatever the 'new' name for camel is, it has been firmly on my radar this season. At it's best with black or similar 'tasty' tones.

Whilst the winter weather is still in full force, excuse the pun, and my love affair with leather pants doesn't stop, it can only mean one thing.........

 It's Cyber O clock, with some serious camel and leather action, which doesn't mean watching Omar Sharif on Netflix. 

The good news is most of it's in the sale.

The bad news is I am off work with a bad back unable to move much, which means I am spending far longer than I care to admit pouring over the Internet, (purely in the name of research you understand.) 

Is Doctor Zhivago actually on Netflix? As that's the only action this bed bound gal is gonna see right now. 

You get the gist?

  2. You can't beat camel teamed with black can you Helen & it makes the perfect outfit to team with a bit of leopard print.
    You poor thing suffering with your back - there's nothing worse than back pain. I hope it improves soon. Have you tried Biofreeze my hubby found it helped with his so it may be worth a go.
    Look after yourself & hope the internet browsing *shopping* helps to relieve the pain ;-)

  3. I'm a huge fan of camel in every form great picks, Helen.

    Poor you. I pulled my back a week or so before Christmas and it was agony for a day or two. I do hope it improves soon for you. Enjoy the research ;-)

  4. Oh dear - hope you feel better soon Helen or your credit card is going to be feeling a bit poorly too.

    I love the Paisie coat - reminds me of the Warehouse one you have - gorgeous. However, you now have me thinking of camel nail varnish. The Nars one looks too light for me but now I'm on a mission to find myself the perfect shade. Drat. I am so easy to convince - a marketing dream!

    1. Oooh how clever of you to remember Sue, yes it is a bit like mine, but I actually think the Paisie one is nicer, and my warehouse one has gone a bit shabby already which isn't too good? Yes getting the right shade of nail polish for skintone is quite hard, this one really suits me, but I am a shade of blue at the moment!! Helen xx

  5. Love everything you found (always dangerous, LOL) Camel is another favorite color of mine - it pairs so well with winter colors and leopard of course! ;-)

  6. I hope you feel better. I love camel! I bought my first camel coat this week. I'd really like a roll neck sweater like that one.

    1. Oh lucky you, is it going on the blog, will have to check it out? The sweater is amazing but still pretty pricey....I did see a similar one in Zara's sale, but a bit more oversized. Thanks for the kind words too! xx

    1. Oh i am being so pathetic with this silly back Helen, but i just cant do very much at all at the moment, so yes shopping and using the plastic seems to be a good consolation, until of course the bill comes in! xx

  15. Happy New Year! I've always been a fan of camel as it's such a versatile colour but paired with black is my favourite combination. Love your selection here and I can never resist a touch of animal print and again it goes so well with camel
