What I'm Wearing: Textures, Pencil Skirt & Bucket Bag Posted by Unknown |

Skirt - Amy Hall
Necklace - Comfort Station
Jacket (old - similar leather jackets here) - All Saints
Bag (old) - Ally Capellino

A couple of outfit snaps I took before Christmas. The skirt is a gorgeous woollen tube that is actually a little unforgiving on the waist-line hence the belt and scarf (vintage Hermes, yah – why I hardly wear it is beyond me) teamed with a trusty old leather jacket by All Saints (I actually snipped off bits from the front, it was just a bit too hangy) and one of my all time favourite bag purchases, a limited edition bucket bag by Ally Capellino (the handles are made from recycled Coke cans!). The necklace is one I'm still hoping to get my hands on (hello Valentine's day :)) and the boots are Ash. Not a very wintry outfit, but definitely one for seasonal transitions, so once things get a little warmer... I love the colour progressions - a wheel of black to steel grey to white and brown to tan to orange to yellow.

What I'm Wearing - Sophie Hulme Satchel x Four Jackets Posted by Unknown |

Jacket - All Saints (similar here) 

I don't know about you, but when I get a new bag or pair of shoes the first thing I do is have a trying on session with various jackets (for bags) or jeans and dresses (for shoes). You know, just to have that information logged for whenever I need to quickly throw something on. Pre-tried = quick & stress-free dressing. Un-tried = potential disaster. You know, when you're out and catch a glimpse of your reflection and realise that your outfit components are already filing for a divorce and you long for an invisibility cloak. Anyway, I don't know why I'm harping on about this when this post is actually all about my fabulous new sale purchase of the Sophie Hulme plate satchel (full price in blue here). I love this bag. And so does my wardrobe. And I imagine you'll be seeing quite a lot of it over the weeks to come. Btw, did I mention the Sophie Hulme tote?? To. Die. For. (Or da morire, as the Italian fashionistas like to say.)
