Be My Baby Blue

Perk up your day with some delicious new shoes, and how could you get much cuter than these powder blue boots by Sophia Webster, available here from www.matchesfashion.com.

A delicate shade of sky blue, these feminine but modern shoes feature pretty bow and frill detailing along with polka-dot mesh for an extra helping of girlish innocence.

I'd keep it pretty and pair with a clean and crisp white shift for a fresh look.

The January Blues, that is!

I have always thought myself immune from the January Blues, primarily because my birthday falls in just a couple of weeks. However, this year I felt what can only be described as post party depression, somewhat akin to what I had after Zante... Surely there is some sort of charity for this? (I jest)

I'm sure i'm not alone in feeling this, but I think i've got a cure: a new SS13 inspired wardrobe.

Post sales-chaos, why not treat yourself to a couple of lovely pieces in the most covetable shades of the coming season: marines fit for a mermaid. 

How very apt- if you can't beat the January Blues, join 'em with some cool, crisp pieces that look ever so chic.

1. This gorgeous dusty blue coat is a steal at Reiss- reduced to just £73

2. These Kenneth Jay Lane earrings are so unbelievably glamourous- and a perfect way to marry marine shades together £240

3. These suede navy ankle boots from Whistles are my new favourite pair- such a gorgeous colour and such a wearable shape. Work these in s/s13 with super-skinny grey denim and a crisp white shirt.

4. This dress from The Outnet by Aminika Wilmont is a great buy at £212.50 - so Peter Pilotto and extremely flattering and sexy.

5. Ooh this Acne sweater from the Net-A-Porter sale (£96) is a gorgeous hit of aquamarine- amazing with skinny white jeans.

6. This Nelly ring is a fabulous £6.95 yet looks deceptively YSL (or SLP? Doesn't sounds right...) A gorgeous cocktail ring for the new season.

7. If you love me, you'll buy me a Celine handbag... It really is a simple as that. I currently have my eye on a slate blue Luggage hold-all at £2050... I can but dream.

8. This Dannijo necklace from Kabiri is a pretty grecian statement piece to pair with a little navy dress for a new season lift. Or try with a light grey Zoe Karssen tee (check the Harvey Nicks sale) for a really cool look.

9. I can't believe these gorgeous cobalt heels are just £60 from Topshop - they look seriously high end. I would love to rock these with a little printed minidress for swinging spring look with a modern touch.

10. Behold, yet another ridiculously fabulous Mulberry. This time the mini-Alexa has made an entrance in this sultry, dusty slate blue with silver hardware. So cool that it's hot! 

All Saints, All Sinners

1. Ring by Zoe & Morgan £395
2. Neely Dress by All Saints £165
3. Revlon Lipstick in Va Va Violet (see how it looks on here)
4. Topshop Booties £75
5. Whistles Pouch £35 (bargain!) 

This little black dress is my favourite piece from the new All Saints collection, which sees a real departure from their usual grungy look with a slick, modern aesthetic that screams nonchalant London elegance. 

This dress, however, belies the All Saints name... I feel it is rather more of a sinner, a devilish and suggestive little number that transforms the wearer into a sort of femme fatale.

A slick of patent violet lipstick and some towering lace-up boots give the dress a directional edge, balancing the delicate lace panels and the sculpting body-con fit. Lighten the look with soft waves and a splash of duck-egg blue- a fresh and unique accent to breathe new life into your LBD.

I love it. Someone want to buy me it? I think my wardrobe desperately needs a killer dress, and the Neely is just the ticket.
