What I'm Wearing: Blue Denim & Round The World All Stars Posted by Unknown |

Some outfits are the equivalent of a bowl of heartwarming chicken soup. Blue jeans, navy jumper and white All Stars is mine. I pretty much lived in jeans, jumper and sneakers over the holiday period. It's easy living fashion for taking it easy when you've got nothing on other than hanging out with family and friends, eating, present opening and taking the little cookie for a walk in the sling. The jumper (A.P.C. – see Net-a-Porter's A.P.C. sale sweaters here and below) I bought last winter in a fit of Sarah Lund homage, the jeans are a recent Zara purchase (bit too tight if you must know) and the All Stars have been with me everywhere – to clubs in Paris, Madrid and Tokyo, music festivals in Dublin, Vilnius and Budapest and an unforgettable California trip taking in LA, Joshua Tree and Big Bear Mountain. What's your most comforting outfit? And your best travelled item of clothing?

What I'm Wearing: Boxing Day Cosiness in Cashmere & Cath Kidston Posted by Unknown |

All the Christmas over-indulging and extra morning napping (thankyou to my wonderful family for looking after the little cookie while I slept in) requires comfort on the clothes front. Bring on a slouchy cashmere jumper (similar here) – yes, half price in the Boxing Day sale! The make is Isle, not one I've heard of, but the round-neck style is classic – and bright cosy slippers (a very welcome Xmas present as my previous pair are ragged and full of holes) by Cath Kidston (buy them half price here), not a usual go-to for me, but these work perfectly if the rest of the outfit is understated. The jeans, black skinnies by Zara, are coming to the end of their life sadly. They are so stretchy they saw me through most of my pregnancy and were the first pair I slipped back into afterwards. But the puckering has become too noticeble really... Time to let go. Out with the old and in with the new – the New Year is just around the corner.

ps. A big thankyou to Mr Pudding Pantz for playing the reluctant photographer for this outfit post. 

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Kimono, Zara Jeans & Swedish Hasbeens Posted by Unknown |

Kimono - vintage // Jeans - Zara // Angora sweater - Acne // Duck Toe Sandlas - Swedish Hasbeens

I've been hankering after a vintage kimono for over a year now – to wear in the mornings and as a kind of luxury house coat. Last autumn I found some incredibly beautiful ones, but incredibly pricey, in a boutique (can't think of the name) in Stoke Newington. I then started researching them online and found a whole load on Ichiroya (an online Japanese kimono flea market) but worried about the sizing I finally gave up. Last weekend on a Christmas shopping spree to Islington, I found this one in one of the little antique shops tucked away by the market stalls in Camden Passage. 1930s, nice and short, gorgeous colours and just £45. Another shopper had already spied it too and had nipped away to find her husband however the shop owner had made no promise and was happy to sell to me. I whipped it on to check it looked okay (husband and baby thankfully in tow) paid and then we rushed off super quick. So apologies to that other shopper, if indeed she did return. 

What I'm Wearing: Nylon Snake Print & Neon Posted by Unknown |

Ok, apologies for the photo quality, I can only blame the old wardrobe mirror for the speckles. But I really wanted to show the nylon snake print and neon detail, which I think have both come through alright.
