BRUSHFIELD STREET

(Miss Selfridge biker jacket, vintage blouse, locket and bag, Topshop skinnies, Primark brogues)

Another sporadic post here - it's been rare lately to have a weekend when I have time to think about a blog post! Had a wander around Shoreditch and Spitalfields, vintage shop browsing and an al fresco lunch. I'd been wanting some block coloured skinnies for a while, and as ever, Topshop delivered (I may as well have a direct debit to Arcadia), with these coral numbers. Second lucky strike was this nude biker from Miss Selfridge - I'm not normally a fan of faux leather but the gold hardware won me over...

Posting on here has become a very rare occurence - I don't even really think I can call myself a blogger anymore... shows how much a job you enjoy can take over! Taken outside work for a Style Spy feature we do in the office - in fact that gallery is updated with outfit posts every single day so it's a good place to get your fix as I seem to be so slack on here! Take a look at the latest galleries here.

Am working next season's colour palette of seventies mustards, browns and purples already here (in fact I've just realised I don't even have any documentation of London Fashion Week - but the rain did dampen fashion spirits slightly - I promise that come next fashion week I will be a much better blogger!) - I picked up this jacket on a relatively recent Beyond Retro spree, you can't tell from this pic but there is amazing embellishment on the shoulders. Getting quite heavily back into vintage shopping - I also picked up an oversized clutch, an eighties disco dress and, back in my parents hometown, the most amazing print shirt - something I will save to show another time...

SILVER PLACE

(vintage top and Levi's shorts, H&M blazer, Miss Selfridge mac, Kurt Geiger boots)

Been wearing this red H&M blazer loads - and I know, I know, I'm always in a blazer - it just seems to pull a look together, and H&M have a great selection of affordable blazers. This photo is taken round the corner from my offices, we upload what the other staff members at the mag wear every day to company.co.uk so sometimes I can get a blog picture out of it too! It's hard to get proper blog posts done at the moment as it's dark when I finish work and I'm not really a fan of photos taken indoors - can't wait for warmer weather and lighter evenings!

I got these Kurt Geiger boots for a steal in their sale - I had my eye on them at full price so very pleased, and think they'll look cool with bare legs if and when I ever get the chance! Also good for toning down mini skirts and shorts - something about chesea boots just counter-balance any overt sexiness to a look.

HEATHROW #1

(H&M stripe blazer, American Apparel tank, Topshop biker skinnies, Bertie ankle boots, Forever 21 necklace)

If you are a reader of the Company magazine website then you will know that we were there all last week editing the mag and the website, so apologies as you probably have already seen this outfit - if not, then here it is! I bought these Topshop biker skinnies from eBay, but I will also be getting them from Toppers in black and maybe the camel as well - they are really tight and don't lose their shape - and they just have a bit more of an edge than your regular skinnies.

I know it's still January but I couldn't really wait to get my Bertie peep toe ankle boots out of hiding - they are such a classic. I wore them to the BRITs nominations launch aswell and they just add something to an outfit that closed toe shoes don't.

Can't believe this is only my second post in January - Style Remains has been slack!

FULHAM

(Topshop Boutique dress, customised H&M gilet, Zara wedges, YSL ring, Urban Outfitters two-finger ring, Jaegar necklace, vintage jewellery)

Just realised that it looks like I've adopted a new, neutral colour palette of navy, tan and denim. I guess I have it part, but will never leave behind my gold bling! A couple of new addictions to my collection - this long chain with blue gem ball from Jaegar (thankfully I waited a week or so from when I first saw it and it was subsequently reduced in the sale), and this two-finger ring, a heavily hinted for Christmas present from Dan. He calls it a knuckle duster, I love it - although I think I need to balance out the bling on each wrist - I feel I might be verging on Mister T territory...

KNIGHTSBRIDGE

(Zara kids coat, Topshop denim shirt, belt and dress, Kurt Geiger chelsea boots, Jaegar necklace, Balenciaga bag)

Went for a look around the sales in Knightsbridge this afternoon, but since I am on a shopping ban, it wasn't much fun, although I did get my eyebrows shaped at Blink in Harvey Nics. In fact it was actually Dan that bought things while I coaxed him from store to store (men are RUBBISH shoppers) all the while thinking about the red Mulberry boots I posted about here and have continued to lust after. They are in the sale, but still inconveniently expensive so think I'm going to have to set my sights a little lower unfortunately!

Wearing my new Zara coat today. It IS Zara, but it just might be from the, ahem, kids department. Well, the adult version was twice the price and this size (age 11-12!) fits my narrow shoulders perfectly, and I think it's got a bit of an 'Alexa Chung' vibe about it. The adult version was only single-breasted too, so I think I scored a winner here (thanks to Dan's family who bought it for me for Christmas!) - take a look in Zara kids if you're petite like me as the range is almost as chic as it's grown-up counterpart...

IN GOOD COMPANY

(Topshop navy playsuit and belt, Aldo heels)

Firstly, apologies for this month long hiatus I've had from blogging - but I have been crazy busy! A new flat, nearly a new year... but most excitingly and importantly for me, a new job. The photo above goes some way to explaining why I haven't had much time to catch my breath, let alone log on, but suffice to say I am very happy, if a little tired! I am going to really try to get back into the habit of taking outfit photos and getting back on track with Style Remains.

Hope you all had an amazing Christmas and have found loads of bargains in the sales - I had a pile of new things to share on here so keep a look out for more posts soon...
