Fur + Mini































Loving this new faux fur panelled coat which Santa brought me. Also, this dress is one of my favourites. I picked it up in a vintage shop a couple of years ago. It was originally full length, which also looked fab, but I decided to style it into a super short mini - I'm short, minis suit me better. 

SLR still out of action so having to experiment with instagram I'm afraid!

Fringe Benefits































I'm so excited about finally owning this fringed suede bag. I spied it in Topshop LAST YEAR and I fell in love with it. I couldn't justify splashing out on it at the time though as I had just bought a new bag. I thought maybe I would pick it up later in the sales, but it disappeared very quickly and I was gutted that I didn't splurge when I first saw it. I searched in vain for it on ebay for months and I had almost, ALMOST, gotten over it, but for some reason, it popped into my head again a few weeks ago. I decided I would have one more look on ebay and if it wasn't there, I vowed to let it go. 

Guess what? I found it. In an even better colour too! The version I originally saw in Topshop was black but I love this colour more. There were loads of bidders but I stubbornly won the auction and actually got it for cheaper than it was in the shop. Woohoo! I've been wearing it incessantly since it arrived in the post.

On a High





















































When it came to the Isabel Marant High Tops, I must admit, I was torn. I am very loyal to my Ash Seal Virgin Leather High Tops (mind you, they are a fraction of the price of their Marant counterpart) and so, at first I was sceptical. But then I see Mandy Shadforth (aka Oracle Fox) rocking her pair at the Laundromat and on the beach and my mind is immediately made up.

So, after much indecision, I've decided that I love them. I want them. Really though, what's not to love? Sneakers - tick. Suede - tick. In-built wedge - a clever leg lengthening bonus - tick. Velcro straps - tick. Even if I could afford them, they're sold out. I'm not complaining though - I remain loyal to my buckled leather friends by Ash.
