Today’s shopping trip took me to Zara, I have found over the last few years my affection for Zara has grown. The seasons have changed, did we ever get a summer? and the autumn collection is shaping up.

I would team it with a plain vicose vest, jeans rolled to the ankles with round toed pumps for shopping, or over a metallic number for cocktails.

Chloe

I have always been a Chloe girl at heart, I love the girly young feel and these shoes make the ideal summer staple.

Can’t wait for his first couture show if the move does happen.

The September Issue

I unwrapped my new vogue this week, oblivious that my favourite time of year had arrived. The September Issue. I have managed to leave it untouched until tomorrow morning to read cover to cover as a Saturday morning treat. Freja’s green D&G dress has such a seventies feel I can’t wait to cover the first page…
