Stacking Rings & Wedge Trainers

Two of my favourite trends of the season. The trainers work perfectly with skinnies and an oversized jumper whilst the rings complement any outfit.

December Highlights Part 2: When in Cambridge...

In the past, New Year's Eve has consisted of an assortment of failed plans culminating in something predictably average. Last year I found myself stranded in London post-fireworks and spent the majority of the night sandwiched in a crowd of the drunk and disorderly. The year before proved equally as disappointing when a house party turned sour and was swiftly evacuated. SO as December approached, planning something a little tamer was the obvious choice.

An overnight stay in Cambridge complete with a three course dinner and a bottle of wine proved to be the best new year I have had in a while. AND in keeping with the theme of English heritage, I had the perfect excuse to wear my favourite floppy hat and Barbour coat. Here are a couple of my outifts.

Zara Trends

SO before I got told off by a Sales Assistant (?!) I managed to get some pictures in-store of Zara's latest shoe offerings. In terms of high-street trends Zara often leads the way, as has been the case with the army/military look that is huge at the mo.

Judging from the shoes and boots on offer in Zara the Studded craze is here to stay. The shop floor was littered with heels, loafers and of course jackets embellished with gold and silver stud detailing.

Shades of Khaki and black are still very much in with twists on leather and camouflage print everywhere. The army jackets are a personal fave of mine as you may have seen below!

Love the contrasting gold pyramid studs. Statement shoes.

WANT these studded loafers! They look so expensive and I am fully embracing the 'Mod' circa 1960/70s look

More beautiful stud detailing. The mid-heel design makes them more of a daywear piece.

Khaki biker style jacket with stud detail. Love the warm/thick material but at £80 it doesn't come cheap!

Khaki Jacket

These pics were taken last winter when it was minus something outside but given the current state of the weather I have been reaching for my parka more often than I would like. I bought mine last year from a little vintage store at £45; loved the fur collar and the style. My only complaint is that it's fairly baggy and not as fitted as I would like. The high street is actually full of similar army style jackets and parkas atm: Missguided, Topshop, Zara.

Here is another pic from my photoshoot a couple of weeks ago with the lovely Ellen Lai. Have a massive softspot for vintage clothes and this coral shirt is one of my wardrobe favourites...it cost all of about £3! My wedges were something I picked up from the Next sale after taking salvage in there to escape the rain! Love the stripe effect on the wedge.
