London resident

2015 was a busy year. I finally moved to London and am a happily settled in my newly decorated flat in Streatham (South London!). So now I have a new obsession with interiors and have bought books on different types of light fittings...who am I?! I'm definitely not an expert but be prepared I may have to feature some of my findings and interior experiments on here. I thought it would only be right for my first post as a city resident to be shot in the very cultural Brixton, just a few mins down the road from me. I am sitting on the beautiful steps in front of Brixton church which have the most gorgeous stone columns. This church also features a great Tapas restaurant underground (fun fact!) which has some of the best Spanish Tapas London has to offer. My Spanish boyfriend also rated the food pretty high so that must say something. 

Baby It's *Still* Cold Outside

Whilst its still pretty chilly outside at the moment a cover up or kimono is a trendy alternative to throw-over an outfit without disguising it altogether. This one I'm wearing is from River Island a few years ago but since Burberry brought out personalised kimonos for AW14, the design has been filtered down and copied a lot this season so that folk like me can bag one from the highstreet. Although the kimono has a dominant tribal pattern I've still teamed it with a striped shirt as I love a clashing print. My cuffs are from & Other Stories which can be shown off in all their glory with a shirt like this. 

Peony in Winter

I decided for one day only I'd stop dressing in dark clothes for winter and add a pop of colour to my outfit. This pink coat from Topshop SS14 is quite warm so I didn't get it out much earlier this year when the weather changed. Its nice a roomy so I put a thick grey roll neck underneath too. Bare legs probably wasn't the greatest idea as it is pretty freezing but I love this outfit all the same. I tried to go a bit 60s inspired with the mini skirt and roll neck combo. Not quite Bridget Bardot but I working on it...

Thigh High

So this is my first post since my blog was re-designed! I've been dying to write up lots of posts recently but I wanted to wait until the new layout was absolutely perfect, so expect lots of content over the next few months. I'm starting with this winter look post consisting of a wooly knit over some thigh-high boots.
