Cool Coral

It is still winter but of course the colours for the Spring/Summer clothing collections are trickling out. Although we are never really surprised - Pastel in Spring and Neon in Summer..

Getting in there just as early as the big fashion houses, we have these 2 outfits showing the pastel and neutral Spring palette.

Model one - Ladylike Cream Lace

 This lovely lace dress is by Zara.
Size 10 (eur 38) £10
and it is new with tags still attached.

We have added a thick coral coloured belt (trimmed in black patent leather) from Reiss £10
along with a faux leather Jacket from Topshop Tall range.
Size 14 (eur 42) £30

Model two - Navy and Coral

We have come over all designery (is that even a word?! It is now) on this one.

Plus as per our way of working they have been reduced now! Bargain!

The top is be Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti and it is a silk and wool and cashmere mix.
Size 8 (eur 36)
£40 £24

The skirt is a beautiful Miss Valentino by Valentino sequined up piece.
Size 16 (eur 44)
Small splits up the sides along with these sprays of squin and beads, just adds a little something to a rather simply cut skirt.
£40 £19

The necklace is a Dior costume piece £10 and the belt (not designer...) is £4 but we think it just ties in the whole outfit nicely, and shows off the flared peplum effect of the top.

Coral seems to go with everything!

Red, White and Blue

So here we are - Just a bit too early for just red and white for Santa, so we added some navy to distract you from the fact that Christmas is coming! Still these colours always look great together and are always on trend at some point in the fashion calendar.

This is our Window Mark IV as every time we got around to finding an outfit, pieces were sold before they even hit the dummies!
So sadly you don't get to see the Gap cashmere jumper or the Topshop blue with red spots dress, or the Red boots! But don't think this is second best?! (Or forth best as it is...)
We always dress to impress and to catch the eye of everyone passing.

All rather patriotic...

So here we go from left to right...
Red H&M dress £10
Zara red frill top £4
Paul Smith cardigan £20
Topshop navy and white trim skirt £4
ASOS blue dress (New) £15
Spotty skirt (under dress) £3
White and cream J.Crew t shirt £6
Red jumper £5
Scarf £6  
Navy Hobbs trousers £8

Shoes from £5!

The copper pot is very funky, and is £30
Let it be, or fill with some loooooong stemmed floral/twigs for an interesting centre piece,

Various glass and wooden objects £2 - £15

Mens Dior Jacket

A lovely pile of men's jackets came in today, mainly from Zara man and Gant, but there were two which interested us most....

The first one was this navy, double breasted, Christian Dior blazer.

A beautiful feeling fabric of 100% Pure New Wool, lined in silk emblazoned with the CD logo.
We have measured it as a 48 UK size - XL
Embellished with amazing gold Dior buttons on the sleeves, it is missing one from the front of the jacket though.

Other than the missing button, all is well.
£95
Dry Clean only!

Over a pair of cream chinos, we think this would look great.

Just Cavalli, Just In

We have more lovely men's donations. (I said we would do some 'man' blogs didn't I?)

Navy Jacket by Just Cavalli. £55

 Along with some 2 piece suits (priced from £10) we found this lovely navy jacket by Roberto Cavalli's range Just Cavalli, still in it's garment bag.

The youth orientated label, launched in 1998, still has beautiful detailing and is well cut and tailored.


Even the buttons are tagged with the name. And I love that.

I do love a navy jacket, teamed with a crisp white shirt and camel trousers for a smart casual look, or add the navy trousers and brown (yes brown!) brogues. Whoever said navy suits and brown shoes are rubbish, obviously do not understand.

Size 40 (Med/Large)
For sale for £55
