Summer Drinks

This weekend I caught up with a few friends. On Friday I went out for my friend Holly's leaving drinks, she's moving to Utah in a couple of weeks. I think Tuesday will be the last time I see her before she embarks on her USA adventure!


I wore a new white top from Topshop, it is cotton on the back and sheer/shiny material on the front, high neck, and looks great with a statement necklace. The necklace is also new and is from Miss Selfridge. I've been going for a very 'Zara' look lately - bold, crisp, and luxe. I wish I could buy the whole shop. 

Beautilicious Beyonce

I'm a little obsessed with the Daily Mail TV&Showbiz and Female sections at the moment, and today I came across this feature and thought how beautiful, young and stylish Beyonce looks. This outfit is so far removed from how she usually dresses, and you could argue it is a little too young for her age, but I love it! Beyonce is unarguably a pretty perfect specimen of a woman and mostly looks great in whatever she wears, (even some of the horrific outfits her mum styled Destiny's Child in back in the 00ties looked good on her) but this outfit brings out her natural beauty and youth in a very refreshing way! Simple but laid-back and on-trend. 

Leather Obsessed

I'm obviously getting ahead of myself and thinking about my Autumn Winter wardrobe a little early because all I can think about are buying a new leather biker jacket and some skinny trousers! Here are some leather items I'm loving...

Rachel Weisz



Jennifer Anniston, Horrible Bosses Premier. Michael Kors Leather Dress $3,985 (owch!)



Todd Lynn Leather Trousers



all Saints Leather Trousers, www.ulrikkelund.com (obsessed with this blog!)





Barney's Originals Biker Jacket SALE £85 - I bought this from ASOS with their AW 20% off discount code AND I had a £25 gift voucher from my birthday so I managed to get it for £46!!! Haven't received it yet so I don't know if it fits yet. They ran out of 8s so I went for a 10... should be fine, fingers crossed!



All Saints Ashley Jacket £295
I want this SO much!





Helmut Lang Leather Sleeve Jacket £700

Elle Fanning

Elle Fanning has completely over-shadowed her older sister Dekota's limelight at the moment with her continuous ability to look striking and fashionable at the incredibly young age of 13. Here are some images from some recent shoots she has done for Marie Claire, Love, and Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign which she is the face of. She's also pictured in the front row of Chanel's Haute couture show.
