BURNING LOG FIRES & GINGERBREAD LATTES

Balenciaga fur coat, Uniqlo plaid shirt, Mulberry Alexa satchel, Understated florals, Alaia studded heels, Topshop mesh dress, Helmut Lang leather/jersey leggings, House of Harlow cuff, Dr Martens 1490, YSL ring, Topshop brogues, Erin Wasson x RVCA denim miniskirt.

My perfect A/W wardrobe.

Constellation

Hong Kong has been TOO FREAKING HOT for any sort of coherent outfit, but I wore this for an evening of cocktails with a good friend. Ironically, I wore a white blazer over this in the actual cocktail bar because of the freezing air conditioning that is the hallmark of all indoor activity in Hong Kong. It's going to be a shock when I get back to the UK and everything reverses (hot, stuffy central heating and freezing outdoor weather)!

(Which answers Bel's question - No, I'm not in HK for good.. just here for a long holiday before my masters degree begins. I'm staying in London for that.. can't drag me away from my beloved birth city!)

The H&M studded skirt my mum picked out for me:

Worn with Enzo Angiolini shoes:

And my well-worn, buttery soft Russell＆Bromley leather bag:

---------------------------

Lastly, I'm deciding on an investment piece to kickstart my autumn/winter wardrobe.

1. Gap sheepskin ankle boots

2. Mulberry satchel

3. Those damned Acne wedges that won't leave me alone

4. H&M divided studded leather jacket

5. A quality pair of brown leather brogues

6. An oversized leather clutch (that one is Stella McCartney)

7. A proper watch (Marc by Marc Jacobs)

8. Some of that sexy Dominic Jones jewellery.

Was denken Sie?

Drum my bass

I ache all over because of ONE night of clubbing... !

I am well on my way to sitting indoors on a friday night sipping hot chocolate in my rocking chair and thinking that the highlight of my weekend is watching Jonathan Ross. (Who am I kidding, I'm already there! Almost. Must purchase rocking chair.)

---------------

Whenever I go out clubbing, there are TWO things that are an absolute MUST:

1. ALWAYS BRING FLATS. I do not understand people who do not do this and end up walking barefeet in the streets. Let's be realistic now, by the time 4am rolls around and you are craving a kebab, your feet are going to be hurting pretty badly. I can't stand seeing girls walking on rainy, dirty pavements, it's just disgusting. I mean, think about it - dogs shit on the street then they walk on it. Euchh.
   
   
2. BRING A BIG BAG. One that can fit your spare pair of flats as well as a cardigan at least. In fact, if I'm being really organised, I take a huge bag with me and pack my clutch/etc inside it. When I get to the club, I put my coat/jumper/flats inside the big bag and check it in. Then I just take my clutch into the club and voila! Saves having to check in multiple items (I hate it when cloakroom attendants insist that a scarf is an extra pound....).

-----------

I studded my beanie. Thinking about putting more in... thoughts?

Beanie - H&M

Jumper - Ralph Lauren

Tights - Topshop

Shoes - New Look

Leather bag - Custom made (I wanted a Chloe Paddington without the lock)

PS. Yes, the weather is still cold enough to warrant a coat and beanie.
