all wrapped up

Presents aren't the only things that need wrapping up this time of year! We took inspiration from Chanel's Metiers d'Art Paris-Edinburgh show and layered up with black, grey and a touch of tartan for our outfit of the day. Perfect for running round town on our Christmas errands and maybe a cheeky drink with friends at lunch!  

Party Perfect Pieces

It's the weekend and party season is almost upon us, update your wardrobe with some new season sparkle! 

Party Season by mannajersey 

Monday Inspiration

Welcome to the week! Hope everyone's weekend was dazzling - mine certainly was!

Just like the fireworks above, I need a fuse lit under me to get me going on a Monday, something visually interesting that I can get excited about and perhaps lift me out of my comfort zone.  When the weather turns cold my fall back wardrobe tends to be black & grey with some navy thrown in..... classic maybe, but not very exciting.  

Every now & then you need to mix it up a bit, so today I'm wearing:   

Today I'm wearing: By Malene Birger leopard print blouse, J Brand jeans, Ganni boots - available @MANNA, Great by Sandie Bag - available @ MANNA

Nothing like a bit of electric blue leopard print teamed with burgundy leather to get you going on a Monday!

Dare to be different - at least for a day this week!

The Shoe Edit

For the love of shoes! by mannajersey heels, studded lace ups & fur trimmed boots By Malene Birger, snake pattern boots, burgundy & black pull-on boots by Ganni.  FYI miraculously, the burgundy Ganni boots seem to go with everything I own - or it could be they're just so comfy I've refused to take them off!

You can never have too many shoes ..... well, in our opinion anyway! We also think you shouldn't have to forfeit comfort for style. Whether we're talking stilettos, platforms or flats you should be able to run around looking & feeling fabulous (nothing worse than that burning sensation on the ball of your foot or bleeding heels).  This is where materials and craftsmanship make a difference.  Soft leather that moulds to your foot (no rigid plastic please), and extra padding in the sole to give you that cushioned feeling. Ganni and By Malene Birger both give attention to these details, not to mention their designs are just uber cool!  Remember you're feet work awfully hard for you so do them a favour this Winter and invest in some decent shoes.
