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! 

Daily Detox #1

New feature alert! As part of the new SW Fashion for January 2012, I have opted for a daily post to ensure that the blog is nice and fresh this upcoming month- even if you feel far less than fresh.

One too many sausage rolls, a few too many slices of Christmas cake, several too many glasses of bubbly and *hic* I feel like a beached whale, crossed with a slug and a heavily pregnant sloth (I hope that I don't actually look like said creature, it probably ain't too pretty.)

So as I prepare to return to London and get back into the swing of university, I feel I need to detox- inside and out.

So that's what the Daily Detox is about! Each day I will post a little healthy detox tip, alongside a little fashion/beauty tip to lift your look and your spirits.

Enjoy!
