Fountain


What I'm Wearing: Whistles Claudine Sweater, Gap Splatter Jeans, New Balance Custom 574's.






Yesterday, my gorgeous friend Roni & I trotted off to Somerset House to take a cheeky look at the Treasure Exhibition (got tonnes of photos and a ridiculously long list of new jewellery designers that you NEED to know about - post coming soon). Stepping off the the tube and into this glorious sunshine was certainly not expected - hence my rather winter-esque attire. But with the help of an ice coffee and a splash in the fountains, I managed to cool off. Running through the fountains at Somerset House make me feel like such a kid. It is safe to say that I do rather suffer from Peter Pan syndrome and never ever want to grow up, but the rush of not knowing when the fountains are going to go off is just so exhilarating. London in the sun is just amazing!

I'm off to Battersea Boot tomorrow after a gigantic wardrobe clear out. Hundreds of clothes, shoes and accessories will be available at absolute bargain prices, if you're around you should certainly stop by!

Isabel Marant for H&M



YES, it is true! H&M have just released news of their greatest collaboration yet. Isabel Marant, queen of Parisian chic effortless style is due to design an affordable line for Swedish retailer H&M which launches in 250 stores worldwide and online on November 14th. 

“H&M works with the best designers, and this invitation is an exciting honour. 

Not only will Marant be designing a signature line of casual wear pieces with her iconic rock'n'roll x boho french spirit, she will also be designing her very first menswear line too. 

“I aim at creating something real–something women want to wear in their everyday lives–with a certain carefree style. I think this is very Parisian: You dress up, but don’t pay too much attention to it, and you still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be combined following one’s own instincts, and my take on fashion is all about personality. I really tried to do the essence of my style, it’s an ideal wardrobe that you can do a lot with.” 

As a huge Marant fan, I am counting down the days to stock up on timeless wardrobe basics, accessories, at a fraction of the price of her usual collection.

Sunday






Sunday is my favourite day of the week. A day to do anything you want or completely nothing at all. My Sunday's are usually spent with the family off on a walk somewhere, frolicking through the countryside or heading into my hometown and absolutely favourite part of London, Hampstead. Standing at the tippy top of Parliament Hill you feel on top of the world. London's skyline is so dramatically different from New York where the rows of skyscrapers are intertwined with more skyscrapers. From the highest point in London, the city's most iconic buildings can be seen; the Shard, Gerkin, BT Tower... all visible together from the top of the hill that got its claim to fame in the "kite-flying" scene at the end of Mary Poppins. A glorious evening can only mean that we've got a great week to come. Hope you've all had a great weekend!
