If I were to win the lottery tonight, this is what I’d be buying, every last bit. I spend way too much time making these fantasy wishlists, just incase I happen to become filthy rich overnight, but I also use them as a sort of marker when it comes to sale shopping. If something is on one of my seasonal lists & gets reduced massively, even if it’s still a bit of a splurge, I’ll allow myself to buy it. My reasoning is that I loved it enough to put it on the list, so I’m clearly not just buying it because I’m being suckered in by the 80% off tag, even though I know it’s something I’ll never actually wear!

Talking of sales, I’m getting obsessed with the ‘Style Steals‘ section on Matches, a permanent section of the site with pieces at upto 80% off. The Sportmax sweater is top of my list at the moment, I love the oily, beetle- like iridescence & the fact it’s half price makes it hard to pass up. The Lanvin skirt is the maxi of my dreams, but it’s still massively out of my price range despite the huge savings, I’m inspired to try & make a DIY version though, so keep an eye out for that!

I’m not usually a coat person, I prefer to stick to my trusty jackets & lots of layers, but this Smythe one is seriously tempting me & it’s not even black! It’s just so beautifully cut, the pointed hemline & sharp collar are perfect touches & I love the slight military vibe.

I’ve always said that if I had a nice chunk of money to splurge on something I’d by a Rick Owens leather jacket, but now I’m not so sure after seeing this Givenchy jacket! A traditional biker, but with a snug fit, super nipped in waist, buttery leather & calf hair sleeves, it’s total perfection!

What are you guys coveting this Winter?

ASOS Snood / Todd Lynn for Topshop Cropped Tux / ASOS Oxblood Dress / Topshop Boutique Boots / Falke Socks / Balenciaga City

I’ve been getting steadily obsessed over the last few months with this ‘oxblood’ colour that seems to be everywhere right now. As you can probably guess, I’m not usually one to get all excited over the new ‘it’ colour for the season, but this is different. Even though it’s red, it’s a darker, moodier version. It still feels like a neutral, rather than an actual colour & it fits in with my almost all black wardrobe perfectly.

When I saw this dress on ASOS in the perfect shade, I knew I needed to buy it. It’s perfect for this time of year too, in heavy jersey, with a midi length & long sleeves it’s lovely & warm, the full skirt makes me feel so autumnal swishing around in the breeze too. I’m so glad to be able to get my snoods out again as well, simple layering like this is why I love autumn so much.

I mentioned previously how much I loved my tuxedo from the Todd Lynn for Topshop collaboration, well this is the other tux I managed to buy at the time. Again, it is beautifully constructed in gorgeous wool suiting (just as a good tux should be!) & the perfect structured, boxy shape too. The way it’s cropped right under the bust & the asymmetric faux fur lapels are what really make this jacket for me, it’s quirky, but in an understated, elegant kind of way. It must be one of my most worn jackets, I love throwing it on & feeling instantly sharper, and if it were to ever get ruined I would happily spend three times it’s original selling price for another one on eBay!

October 14th 2012 Inspiration

#1 : Minnow Bathers Swimwear at Need Supply Co. / I love the swimsuit, but I think the main reason I love this is the tattoos combined with the retro florals, gorgeous!
#2 : Unknown / Wish I could find where this is from, it’s so striking!
#3 : Nick Knight ‘Flora’ / More Nick Knight! Can’t seem to get enough of him lately, the blackened rainbow of colours on these is just beautiful though.
#4 : Jose Manuel Ferrater & Paz Vega for the 2012 Lambertz Calender/ Adore Paz Vega & all of the images from this calender (for biscuits?!) were seriously beautiful.
#5 : Feline Zegers / Love this girls work, this piece is quite different to the rest of her stuff, but I love the painterly quality & unfinished look to it.
#6 : Alphonse Mucha ‘La Pater’ series / The main originator of the Art Nouveau style, he considered this series his masterpiece. I love anything with slightly religious undertones, and especially pieces like this that portray it as almost cult-like.
#7 : Old Books / I’d love a bookcase filled with old books like this!
#8 : Paolo Roversi ‘Flowers’ / Possibly my favourite photographer, every time I see one of his pieces it just blows me away. I love his very distinctive style too.
#9 : Alexander McQueen Exhibition at The Met Museum / So gutted I never got to see this. One of my favourite McQueen dresses too!
