GOLD ZARA OXFORDS

My Mum talked me out of buying these Zara shoes when they were full price but luckily they were featured in the sale so I picked these up for less than £30 around Christmas time. They are the kind of shoe that invite comments. Taxi drivers say they pulled over for me because the gold flashes caught their eye, strangers in supermarkets tell you they love them and they even seem to steer on the right side of kooky cool for the guys at the office who haven't fallen about laughing at them. At least not to my face.

MIX

It is cold in London. Not normal cold but the kind of cold that is reminiscent of New York's bone crunching temperatures. I'm not happy about it. This weekend has been effectively cancelled in my mind and I've been tidying / clearing / organising my clothes instead. I keep finding things I have totally forgotten about, which is good for me but really just a result of my being very, very bad.

WINTER FLORALS

Excuse the glow. I'd been to see my personal trainer before work and boy did she punish me. Still, after Christmas and the New Year I need a bit of cold hard punishment to make up for all of the red meat, cheese and chocolate.

J Brand Stretch Leather Skinny Pants...

...are the holy grail of leather trousers. I have never tried a pair of leather trousers on that fit so perfectly and were so comfortable. It had to be done, bank balance be damned.

THE NEVER-ENDING WOE OF TOO MANY SHOES

Last year passed by so quickly that I have been somewhat taken unawares by the start of 2012. I haven't had time to make any resolutions or plan out any major events in the upcoming months but some organisation needs to happen soon otherwise my life will descend into chaos. 

A case in point is these shoes. I wore this outfit before Christmas and these shoes became my new 'favourite'. Then, over the last two weeks I FORGOT I OWNED THEM. Really. I went into Topshop on Saturday and thought "Wow, those shoes look great..." before remembering I had a pair. And why can't I remember I have them? A) I have too many and B) I can't SEE them because they are all in boxes. So enough is enough. A wardrobe thinning is inevitable in the next couple of weeks as is a reworking of my present shoe storage system (of lack of it). 

Oh, and this necklace? It was new on that day and I decapitated it within hours. I am the jewellery killer.

FLORAL MIX

I was in the mood for wearing florals the other day. I decided at the last minute that I would not subject my office to the triple whammy of H&M matching floral trousers and jacket with this shirt and instead opted for the more muted embroidered floral Topshop jeans that have festered slightly at the back of my wardrobe. 

The Celine inspired combo will have to wait for another day.

CHARITY SHOP BUYS

As ever, the charity shops outside of London reaped their rewards this weekend. 

I found a pair of old lady patent party shoes by Salvatore Ferragamo for £2.50 and then walked into another charity shop on the high street in Taunton only to be confronted with the wonder of this vintage silk shirt with an amazing print on it. I mean, how could you not buy a shirt this loud? I was so overcome I even did a half hearted disco dance. Well, I think I did because I can't FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out what I'm doing in the last picture.

PARTY DRESS

It was my Auntie's birthday at the weekend so the family headed off for a big dinner in our party frocks (well, my Mum and I did). My Mum has just 'discovered' Cos, which is great because Cos is great, but bad because she bought the frock I wanted. We can't be bopping around in the same stuff - can we? So, she wore an amazing Cos dress and Clarks studded brogues, and I wore my sparkly Toppers party dress. And then I ate too much goose and fell asleep.

OUTFIT PANICS

This outfit was basically a lie in bed at night awake trying to work out how to tone an old lady style wool coat I bought from Zara and make it, well, less old lady. 

My Mum and I would term this coat a 'Judi Dench' and that is not a bad thing at all. It's just at at least half her age I'd prefer people to not walk down the street and think 'Judi Dench' just yet. At first I was thinking perhaps a belt would work, but either the coat was too bulky or I am. 

So in the end I went for trainers, turn ups and a hat I was given by my Ma at the age of oooh...17? Still, I kind of liked it.
