Sussan
I recently took a client shopping and wandered into Sussan and oh was I surprised. Their current Autumn/Winter collection is bursting with on-trend, easy to wear pieces. The range was easy to mix and match and consists of an on-trend colour palette. All very reasonably priced! I definitely recommend hot footing it into your closest store to snap up these pieces which will easily see you through Autumn/ Winter in style.

Worth the Investment
One of the main concerns that I hear from clients all the time is the cost of fashion. The idea that looking good is expensive is one of the biggest mis-concpetions out there. I'm not denying that yes, quality products are expensive and I'm a firm believer in the saying "you get what you pay for" but the secret lies in the way you shop. People often think that I spend all of my money on clothes.. yes a majority of my money is spent on clothing but I do also manage to pay my bills.
One day I know I'm going to have to cheat on fashion with home decor and swap my Prada to Pure baby. The secret is that I have spent a long time building up a wardrobe of classic, wearable pieces. So when Kenzo becomes Kenzo Kids, I know exactly what pieces are worth investing in for myself and what works for my body and lifestyle.
I've compiled a list of essentials.. essential pieces bought in neutral colours that are well worth investing in.. with proper TLC these pieces will last a few seasons and wont date.
1. The White Tee
I'm VERY fussy with tee-shirts, I don't like them too clingy or too baggy.. so after a long search I've finally found that these Bassike tee-shirts really are the best. Made from organic cotton they have the perfect fit and don't stretch or loose shape.
4. A Leather Jacket or Warm Coat
A leather jacket will give you more bang for your buck in terms of wear-abililty. It can be worn with your jeans and ballet flats as easily as it can be over your summer dresses. If your choosing a coat option go for a cashmere again it will last longer and will actually keep you warm.

5. A Large Leather Tote
Durable enough to hold the kitchen sink and classic enough to double as your day and night bag.
6. A Knit Jumper
Warm, classic and you'll wear it forever.
7. Leather Boots
your go-to in winter, leather means you'll be able to wear them for at least two seasons.
Once you've stocked up on the essentials and aren't having to buy cheap versions of the same thing every season you can buy that amazing Zimmermann dress that just dropped or that new baby Zara piece that your little darling needs in their wardrobe.
Happy Shopping

2. Dark Wash Denim Jeans
As it happens, I'm also very fussy with jeans, after lots of legwork, I cant go past Bettina Liano for a perfect fit every time. A dark wash ensures your jeans are wearable year round and is also slimming.
3. Leather Ballet Flats
Wearable year round, last a minimum of one season and match with everything.

New York Fashion Week
Sorry for my lack of posts lately but I am currently on hiatus from shopping while my MasterCard recovers from my American splurge.
If your Instagram feed is anything like mine, its been flooded with pictures of collections showing at the just wrapped NewYork Fashion week. Rather than regurgitate images that have been Instagrammed and re-grammed a thousand times, I thought I'd focus on what always intrigues me the most about Fashion Week in any city - the street style. Here are my top pics of what the stylish wore to NY fashion week this past week.

Sunday Sessions
I was recently inspired to put this post together after venturing out on a Sunday for a few drinks. So many girls got it oh so wrong... Sunday sessions require effortless styling. Ok I admit when its a 30 degree day its difficult to get the balance right between showing the right amount of flesh and staying cool but that doesn't give you permission to go out in public practically naked. These looks work for bbq's, Sunday sessions, afternoon drinks.. anywhere your headed thats going to be hot and bikini's just wont cut it. Choose easy to wear fabrics.. silks or cotton that are breathable and wear well, cuts that flow and are loose. When putting an outfit together think about the overall composition, balance is the key. If your wearing a short skirt balance it out with a loose cut tee, midriff revealing tops only work when paired with a high waisted skirt or shorts. A hot day doesn't give you permission to pair short shorts with a crop top and call it an outfit!
