Splashing some cash in River Island

I popped into River Island during the week and loved almost everything in it! Obviously I couldn't afford everything so instead I bought this printed maxi skirt and soft unlined blazer. Okay I actually bought a lot more than that but you'll just have to wait to see the rest. I've worn it with my American Apparel vest, Office sandals and Chanel bag.

O-oh I've copied Olivia Palermo...again

Olivia Palermo wore an outfit similar to this last summer. I became obsessed with it and rushed to French Connection to buy this T-Shirt and skirt. I've teamed it will my River Island nude brogues (she wore silver ones - I'm still looking for a great copy) and my new statement necklace from Accessorize.

Dinner at Gilgamesh

I met up with my cousin Clare for dinner and drinks at Gilgamesh last night. It was fabulous! I wore my ASOS leather shorts, last years Office sandals, my new utility vest from Bikbok, my tuxedo jacket from Topshop and my vintage clutch.

H&M Fashion Against Aids Range

H&M’s Fashion Against Aids range hits stores tomorrow. 25% of the sales goes to Aids Awareness charities and if that isn’t reason enough to splash your cash the fact that the collection is gorgeous should help! H&M gave me a sneak preview and here is one of the sequinned jackets from the collection. It’s fabulous isn’t it?! And it only costs £29.99.

I’m going to my friend’s birthday dinner tonight so I teamed it with my New Look vest, ancient Levis jeans rolled up, my vintage Gina shoes and my much loved vintage clutch.

I Forgot I Had These Trousers

I saw a photo of Olivia Palermo wearing an outfit similar to this so I totally stole her style - she looks way better in it than me though! I forgot I had these Zara hareems so I was chuffed to bits when I found them in my wardrobe. I pushed them up to my calf al la Palermo and teamed them with my River Island brogues, Gap tee and River Island blazer.

I Love Stripy Tops

My boyfriend thinks I live in stripy tops. He should take a look at this blog and realise he is wrong! I do love them though. Alexa Chung once said that if you see her wearing a stripy top it’s because she didn’t know what to wear that morning and today I did the same. My top is Miss Selfridge, the hareem jeans are Bershka and these are my trusty Schuh wedges.

Back in the heat office…

This is me at work. I had been freelancing at More mag all day and popped into the heat office after hours to do some of my heat work. I’m wearing my much loved buckled wedges from Schuh, vintage denim shorts and a new T-Shirt from Bikbok that is super soft!

Bringing back the latex look

This morning I pulled on my Kova & T latex leggings and wondered whether it was still OK to wear them. Well I haven't seen a celeb in a pair in a very long time and I worried they were a bit over. The thing is I like them so I decided to go for it. I strapped on my Jeffrey Campbell glads, found my H&M tee in the ironing basket and finished off with my River Island blazer.

My New Maxi

I bought this maxi dress for £35 in Oasis the other day. I've been looking for a black maxi for a couple of weeks and I decided this was the best fit. These are my Jeffrey Campbell studded glads that I got from www.bunnyhug.co.uk a couple of years ago. I added my H&M belt complete with tassells and piled on some black and gold bangles that I found in my jewellery box this morning.

The Other Ben's Birthday Dinner

Last night I went to an Italian restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's best friend's birthday (he's called Ben to0). I had been working in Leeds all day and had 45 mins to have a shower and get ready. I decided to wear my Topshop thigh high boots, ASOS leather shorts, Topshop denim shirt, River Island animal printed blazer and my Chanel bag. I scrapped my hair up and wrapped it around the donut I bought from Claire's.

Sean and Edel's Wedding in Cabra Castle

I flew over to Ireland for my cousin's wedding in Cavan. It was amazing! I wore a white blazer from Topshop, a blue and white embellished mini dress from French Connection, an ASOS feathered clutch that I wore to a wedding last year (they've brought it back into stock) and nude shoes that I bought in Topshop the day before I went. My white embellished headband is from River Island and only cost me £6!

What to wear to Waitrose...

This is me during my month off. My boyfriend came home from work early and I got him to take my photo before I went to Waitrose - oh yes, rock and roll! I'm wearing my ancient tan boots from Topshop, high waisted Topshop jeans, cropped Topshop jumper, Miu Miu bag and Versace shades!

Mixing Prints for Whitney Houston

Sorry it's taken me forever to up date this site but I've had a lot going on. I left heat and went freelance and I'm now heat's Editor at large. I had a month away from the office and no one to take my photo - unless of course I asked my neighbour but that would have been a little embarrassing!

Anyway here I am before I went to see Whitney Houston in concert at The O2. I'm wearing my faithful New Look boots, floral ASOS dungarees and Miss Selfridge top. I decided the dungarees weren't lary enough so mixed my prints!
