Oh, how refreshing pastels are in an Autumn/Winter collection!The final Raf Simons for Jil Sander collection was full of palest pinks and nudes, which will look so clean against the inevitable jewel tones and blacks. I'm praying that Cos or Zara do versions of the collarless cocoon coat.

Pardon my English


Garance Dore (my recent girl-crush) has made these lovely little mini-films showing her experience of NYFW- so chic, so cute, so relevant. I adore Garance's down to earth style and charming manner- I think this could be love LOL.Check out her blog here to see more of her photography and illustrations.

No one does a floral tea dress like Erdem and this season, they didn't disappoint. I can see Oasis and Warehouse doing gorgeous versions.

Shop the Closet

Okay, february will officially be known as 'Poverty' month. Ugh. Anyways, this has forced me to delve into the deep,dark recesses of my closet to see what gems from yesteryear I could unearth. I completely forgot about this satchel-style Coccinelle bag and this vintage envelope clutch- the perfect pop of colour against the bleak winter landscape. Anyone else feeling the pinch?

Winter Skin Savers

Hi everyone! Am freezing my ass off and desperately trying to keep my body/skin/hair hydrated. I'm using a few new products this year and I LOVE them, so I thought I'd share my must-haves for keeping the scaly skin at bay. First off, I've got naturally sensitive dry skin (especially my T-zone) and none of the products below have caused any reactions or breakouts when used. However, make sure to skin test anything new! (ie apply behind the ears for 24hrs).Lemme know what you think or if you've got any products to add :)

L to R top row:Simple Regeneration Age Resisting Day Cream SPF 15; Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Balm; Weleda Skin Food;Jergens Naturals Ultra Hydrating Body Lotion; Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalising Gel Body Oil;
bottom row:Body Shop Ultrafine Bath Lily;Vaseline Lip Therapy; Evian Atomiser: Elemis Skin Brush.
My stand-outs are Aquaphor and Skin food: amazingly soothing and ULTRA moisturising. I like to spray on Evian and then apply the above products(not together) when my skin in damp to really lock in moisture. I also carry Evian to mist on throughout the day.I also exfoliate and body brush daily to get rid of any dry, dull skin. :) All the above products are available from Boots(online and in-store) Amazon.com, Superdrug, The Body Shop (online and in-store)
