Wardrobe staples

Hey Dolls!

To dress well doesn't mean that you always have to buy the latest season.  It also doesn't mean that you have to go shopping every week and spend a fortune.  Its all about choosing well fitting and gorgeous wardrobe stables.

I really believe that one of the key ways of saving money and looking great is to really think about what you need and what you will wear often.  Its all about choosing those timeless pieces that will look great time after time.So even if you spend a bit more money on a few less items, in the long run it will definitely save you money.

The outfit below is something I wear over and over, especially just by changing the top and accessories. There's nothing better than having a pair of great fitting jeans and a leather jacket that you love!

What are your timeless classics and wardrobe staples?

Beach Stripes - Alberta Ferretti

Well Hello!

These couple of weeks I've been in beautiful Emiglia Romagna, Italy.  I lived here for two years before moving back to London and boy have I missed it.

There people here are know as 'gente del mare', meaning people of the sea.  Everything oozes this - the beautiful grilled fish caught fresh every day, the beach side life and love of everything stripey!

Today I'm wearing some stripey shorts by Alberta Ferretti - the local designer literally born and bred in my local city and with the factory here too so I couldn't not leave her out of this first  post!

I love these shorts for the beach as theyre so light weight and so comfy.  Their stripes and colours fit in so much with the idea of Gente del Mare here!
