Ok, I know that I shouldn’t but just look at it. It’s gorgeous isn’t it, and it’s not like I couldn’t afford it. I just couldn’t afford it at this moment in time. But at the end of the month, I could have. But if I left it until then I wouldn’t have been able to get the one that I wanted because it was out of stock and I really really really needed it now. So, I did a potentially bad thing, but what they hey. I got a same day loans which I can pay back at the end of the month. So yes, I’m a little in debt now but nothing too serious. But, totally worth it! ?

Sexiness can for me be just about a good soft piece of sheer fabric, floral and pastal designs reminiscent of the 50’s and naughty ties binding you in.......
Which is why my new obsession is Ciel. An online boutique in collaboration with Liberty, with something for the girls that the guys will still love.

The answer, my trend setting friends will assure me is to go long. Very long, if it’s not knee length it’s just half-hearted and nobody wants to be the princess at the ball without the tiara if you know what I’m saying.
So here are my golden tips for your winter coat shop.
Be knee length. Not only is this economical with your bodies central heating but it looks cool, rocking with the futuristic blade-runner-esque style assassin look.
Don’t be afraid with colour. If you want to stand out with your style then use colour. Everyone else is going to be wearing dog tooth and autumnal shades, why do you want to follow the crowd?
A pastal orange or even a seasonal bottle green works!
Good luck on your coat hunt girls, check out ASOS, My Wardrobe and the old staple TopShop for a good selection.
If you like your films with hip chic, intelligent plotlines and critical acclaim then I think you will like this one. It will also, if you don’t already love it, bring you a completely unadultered affection for Europes most famous city of love. Almost enough to make you pack up your bags and go on holiday there forever.....right now.

In my regular hunt for stylish retro bargains I have decided for once to skip off the well beaten track of charity shops and markets and peruse the internet. Not only that but I have also decided to forgo the usual clothing based restrictions of my thoughts and look at accessories and what accessories is there that are more extravagant than that of a bike.
This example is a bargain and is simply stunning at a mere £100 on gumtree, just zap in bicycles
for sale. Brand new and for full retail price you would be looking at more than double that, plus the standard tricks of purchasing a matching helmet, basket, spare saddle, pump etc. You can’t go for wrong with this offer. Plus it comes with a rare Brookes Saddle. I don’t know what that really means but if its rare, it must be good right?
