New Finds: Cage heels and tribal necklace

Why do most purchases happen when you least expect them to, when you're not looking, and when you're so tired you can barely walk and you'd rather just be home?? Maybe that's just me!!!

I found these nice River Island beige caged cut out wedges (£55) this week whilst out with a friend, and I love them. Although they are no YSL cage boot, they certainly look sexy on and remind me of some designer heels I've seen out there. They are REALLY comfortable which for me is an essential whilst at work, so I didn't think twice when I tried them on. I also don't have any nude heels and the contrast between the different materials looks great.

Another gem I found that day was this New Look ethnic beaded tassel necklace. I don't EVER go into New Look, so when my friend told me about this necklace I didn't believe her...but I guess sometimes they do have one or two nice things and their necklaces are great at the moment. I'll be wearing mine with my new Topshop leather dress as all my other necklaces are too short. Perfect!

New Finds: Leather-look T-shirt dress

I spotted this dress whilst in Topshop the other day and had to have it. I've been looking for a leather-look dress like this one all winter, but wasn't able to find anything decent that wasn't designer or too expensive. Considering it's still winter in London (soooo boring!) I can wear this for ages...plus it will look great with bare legs and fun coloured sandals in the summer. I'd like to have that shiny red carpet sort of leg look so Laura Mercier's Body Bronzer is just the thing to use!

This is one of the ways I would wear the dress...touching on the African themes with the clutch and necklace.


1. Topshop dress, £55
2. Shourouk Dallas necklace, £420
3. OPI My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours nail polish, £11.50
4. Zara embroidered clutch, £39.99
5. Asos Hostage sandals, £42
6. Laura Mercier Body Bronzing Makeup Bronzer, £31

New Finds: Topshop culotte shorts

It seems that I am still in denial about the current London weather, as I can't stop looking at and buying summer clothes that are impossible to wear at the moment. Another one of these purchases was in Topshop today...I bought these cute and versatile culotte shorts in cream. As I am petite, short skirts and flowy type of shorts suit me well. I won't be wearing it to work but I can't wait to wear it out as soon as it gets warm! Here is how I would style the outfit...


1. A great item to have in the wardrobe now is a gray swetshirt like this T by Alexander Wang one. You can feel comfy and on trend at the same time...perfect. £154

2. I have this River Island necklace in a different colour and I wear it with almost everything...gives that little bit of glam to any outfit. £12

3. Topshop Culotte shorts in cream, timeless and cute! £28

4. I know everyone is wearing this style now, but they really are the ideal sexy shoe. Celine and Balenciaga is the way to go but if you can't afford it these Mango ones are just as pretty for only £74.99

5. Amazing bag available in H&M, reminds me of Celine again and it's only £39.99

New Finds: Silk kimono

I recently went shopping for a birthday present for a friend, and found this stunning 100% silk kimono in Topshop on sale for £30! Bargain! I obviously had to buy one for myself too...It is still sitting in the cupboard with the tag on but just waiting for summer time! Yes I wear nightwear outside of the house!


There are so many cool kimonos out there, with pretty vintage ones on Ebay like the below...
