Brand Watch | Wood Wood

Bomber £303 / Pleated Trousers £165 / Zip Metallic Purse £ 57 / W Contrast Jumper £134 / Stripe Jersey Top £62 / 

Silk Wrap Longline Cat £125 / Collared Jacket £100

Scandinavian design is quickly becoming one of my favourites. The simplicity in the look but with dynamic cuts and detailing its something that works well as a staple piece in your wardrobe. During my usual prowl of the internet on a regular Saturday morning I came across Wood Wood and I must say I am in awe of absolutely everything from their AW collection.

Wood Wood is a fashion and lifestyle brand founded and based in Copenhagen, Denmark and as soon as I read this my heart strings were pulling. After visiting the city last year I completely fell in love with everything and anything about the place from the fashion to the way of life, I was well and truly hooked. I'd quite like to think my base may be there one day... Anyhow I've selected my top picks from the current collection and I think you'll agree that there is some absolute beauties there.

Why not check out the rest of their collections here? Are you loving Scandinavian design too?

Style | PPQ Beauties

Top- COS (old similar here)

Jeans- H&M (similar here)

Shoes- PPQ at Office (last season)

Sunglasses- Ebay

Necklace- Debenhams

Backpack- c/o Debenhams

I apologise fully for my lack of blogging over the past week. I'm in the process of organising a new flat mate as well as many deadlines and sign offs at work. So all in all I've been super busy and if I'm honest this is this first time I've touched my desktop in days. Anyhooo this is what I'm wearing today, I figured if I start the week well on the blog front I might just do okay.

My beloved longline tunic from COS makes an appearance frequently in both summer and winter. Today I've teamed it with my printed skinny's. I bought these a while back from H&M, but they are still a favourite of mine. Then we have the shoes, oh the shoes!! PPQ at office are the brains behind these beauties. I admit they are rather high, but for a day in the office they are perfect...(I get to sit). My buttery soft leather backpack is from Debenhams and will be in store soon, so keep an eye out!

Style | Tropical Dreaming

Happy Wednesday to all ! Just to share one of my favourite outfits of the summer so far..my tropical 2 piece from Topshop. If you remember I shared my love for 2 Pieces a few weeks ago in my 2 in 1 post. They're just so cute and I feel like I need to get my hands on as many as possible! I wore this little number on holiday and over the past few weeks with the sun, I've definitely got my wear out of it. I love the print and it is so so pretty with some simple black sandals.

Whatcha think honeys?

Ksubi

Over the past year I've began admiring a different kind of Fashion. I remember the days when all I wanted to wear was Vintage one of kind dresses and bargains from a good rummage at my local charity shop. However these days I find my self attracted to the more simple things in life, with brands like COS, Whistles, & Monki, becoming firm favourites. I thought I knew what I wanted to wear and how I wanted to wear it, but that was until I cam across Australian brand Ksubi.

A mix of chic tailored pants and body con dress is juxtaposed with beautiful digital prints on soft silk and chunky wool. The denim range is also to be admired with some of the best fitting boyfriend jeans I've seen. The prints are reminiscent of baroque ceilings and gold leaf paintings. Somewhat of a statement brand I can't wait to get my hands on some of these pieces. Check out Ksubi and tell me if you admire it as much as I do.

Diamonds & Pearls

You probably think I've been doing a lot of wish list's and outfit posts recently, but it literally is because there is so much out there right now! But if I'm honest, my bank balance is not letting me buy s much s I'd quite like. Although one thing I've been buying into Costume Jewellery, at a rapid pace in recent months and I've found that for a small price you can grab a statement piece that can total transform a simple outfit. 

Recently I've come across a few incredible places for Jewellery that I'd like to share. My first stop for some great pieces is the cute brand Little Birdie London. A relatively new brand, but offering some on trend pieces at great prices and even more the quality is much better than I've found at High street stores which have been around for years. This alone means that Little Birdie is a definite must when searching for the right piece.

The second is Dixi. An absolutely fantastic place for statement Rings and Necklaces. There specialty is precious stones and crystals, set in silver. This is right up my street and if you're looking for jewellery with a vintage feel you'll certainly get this at Dixi. With prices starting at £10, its a sure thing you'll find something within budget. 

These kind of places mean that although I might not be buying new clothing, I'm certainly buying Accessories and with product like this on offer I needn't worry as I can refresh my look as often as I like. Perfect!

Is there any other great websites I should be looking at for Jewellery?

R-A-J-E

How's everybody's Saturday going? I was super pleased this morning when I received an invited to the launch of ethical clothing brand R-A-J-E. Have you heard of them? If you haven't then listen up! R-A-J-E is made up of Roanna Price, Annie Price, Joey Instone & Emily Coles. The 4 piece describe themselves as "an ethical design collective based in London and beyond". I am yet to see what the collective have to offer, but if their blog is anything to go by I'm sure we'll be in for a real treat!

Creative and Intriguing their blog Becoming R-A-J-E is a personal account of their highs and lows as an Ethical brand starting out in the Fashion Industry. Each member of the brand contribute to the blog, with their individual writing styles working brilliantly alone, whilst also complimenting each other.

What A Girl Wants- April

Hello! So I know it's been a while, please don't think I've forgotten about the wonderful world of blogging I simply haven't had that much to say. I've had a busy week with work and family commitments and haven't had time to think. Anyhow, now I do! I want to share with you a few little numbers I want to be getting my hands on this month.

This cute Co-ord from Topshop is just what I've been looking for. Great together and also really good as separate pieces...add a high neck black top to the skirt and hey presto! The shirt would also look great with some simple black jeans like the ripped knee ones I've also added to my want list this month. You can find these as well as the sunglasses here at Topshop.

I'm also loving cobalt at the minute and this satchel is super cute to add a little colour to any Monochrome/Sports Luxe outfit. Those Dungarees- Oh my so so cute, I'll definitely be adding these to my wardrobe! Finally the boyfriend coat. This needs no explaining, I mean it's a classic right?!

Let me know what you think of my What I Want Today list this month! What's on your Wish List right now?

LFW: Day 3

Burberry Prorsum: AW 13

The latest collection from the British genius Christopher Bailey comes under the name 'Trench Kisses' and boy was it fantastic. Based on sixties showgirl Christine Keeler, there was a hint of her controversial life in every look.

A mix of the Burberry Heritage and Keeler's questionable lifestyle, resulted in a beautiful juxtaposition of classic Trench Coats made from Latex and Rubber. Formal pencil skirts in leopard print and sheer latex alongside cute knitwear with pretty collars was match made in heaven; Maybe something to take the edge of the kinky Keeler aura.

No matter whether this was your thing, my thing, or Burberry's thing, it's safe to say Christopher Bailey and Cara made Kitten Heels cool again.

Take a look at my favourite looks below;

LFW: Day 2

Sunday the 17th was the day I had been waiting for after scanning over the LFW schedule a few days ago. Topshop Unique, Mary Katranzou, Richard Nicoll, Nicole Farhi were all on for today and they were all worth the wait. The weather was beautiful and so was the FROW, with the likes of Pixie Geldof, Kate Bosworth, Nicola Roberts all in tow it was hard not to feel the anticipation of the fashion forward collections waiting to parade the catwalks.

Topshop Unique: AW 13

Every season we see a new Topshop Show Space unveiled at Fashion Week. This time is was the chance for the Tate Modern to shine. The concrete background was perfect for the boyish charm we see so often during the Topshop Unique shows.

The show began with model of the moment Cara Delevingne in a edgy oversized long-line bomber jacket married with a beautiful patent leather skirt and cute knitted crop top. Models outfitted in black outwear with hints of blood red followed, whilst heavy knits with softer flippy skirts showed a juxtaposition in texture. This soon turned to soft pretty pink hues, for sating dresses and androgynous tailoring.

Topshop Unique doing what they do best, but with a bit more edge and a little hint of glamour. One of My Favourite Shows so far this season, take a look at my favourite looks below;

Trend Watch: CheckMate!

When the SS13 Collections were presented to us back in September  we saw the revival of the check. There was tartan, Monochrome, oversizing and more variations of the classic trend. This time we saw a cleaner and more sophisticated way of wearing the pattern Burberry made so famous so long ago. I'm an admirer of this trend and have quite a few staple check pieces myself, so I decided to put together a little moodboard of my favourite pieces which I dream of getting my hands on this season....money permitting of course!
