SPLURGE.....

COCO SUEDE AND MOIRE PUMPS £610

OR STEAL?


SATIN KNOT MULE £49.99



It's official, summer's on it's way out [sorry?!].

 The fashion calendar is ticking away, and excitedly I'm getting Autumn ready.

SO, whilst I was sartorially stockpiling my wannabe online baskets from the 'new in' at my favorite stores, imagine my delight when I spotted these look-alikes  -  there's no denying they're a pretty good tribute act eh?

Lets high five AW17, and the Mango delivery that may just be winging its way to me right now?

6 FIX | WHAT TO WEAR NOW





1: Sweater £29.99 Mango | 2: Luminizer £36 RMS Beauty |
 3: Earrings £6.99 Mango |4: Jeans £116 Raey |
 5: Bag £485 Danse Lente | 6: Plimsolls £25.99 Zara


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


Whilst summer is moonlighting, a pre season cull and fine tune of the closet revealed one of my favored pairings.....

{White and nude} cool, classic, refined, but never dull. 

Just subtle degrees of sartorial nuances, make these shades
 true wardrobe bastions. 

Think of it like this - creamy camel knits, happily slouching around with the perfect vintage inspired straight leg white jeans. Partner this up with interesting accessories, and a bag that has been responsible for many a lost nights sleep {I kid you not?}

 Just putting into practice effortless styling tricks, that elevate this simple palette to an A team affair.

THINK IN PINK

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


I've always had a love hate relationship with anything pink.

Mr N-A-D circa 2007 bought me a watch for Christmas with a pink face - call me ungrateful, I couldn't hide my disappointment.

 I rarely dressed my beautiful blonde baby girl in pink, favoring instead fresh blue and white, it seemed more appropriate for a newborn, and besides we looked really good together??

 Rogue pink flowers that dare to show their bright faces in the garden, get obsessively removed from my carefully orchestrated white, silver and blue borders.

BUT, It's Confashion time......

I used to have a strong aversion to pink, actually let me rephrase this - I used to HATE pink. Yet, I'm nothing if not contrary, and BTW I did just say, 'used to'!

{according to science love and hate are intimately linked, as the same brain chemicals are used in both extremes}

SO, that might explain my unexpected self proclaimed love of PINK, or it could be that suddenly this most girly of shades packs a powerful punch in my expiry date free monochrome and denim wardrobe.

Granted it's the lighter, shearer softer shades of pink that mostly appeal to my aesthetic, and typically work with summer's whites, blacks and greys.

Fast track to 2017 - would I have predicted this change of course? Probably not.

 I still can't do a syrupy sweet silhouette. But right now I'm navigating a blush hour, those perfect shades of pink that open many a wardrobe door.......
