The Back Drop

June 25, 2012


I am back, hello online world. I must say it felt funny being away from my little blog for so long (3 days, ahem), I get so used to writing it daily and reading blogs daily that being so isolated from it took a little faith that it would still be waiting for me on my return. I scheduled some posts while I was away and it was super nice to come home to so many lovely comments from you all – thanks :) After 3 awesome and seriously muddy days at IOW I am home, clean, unpacked, and substantially more snoozed.
. Zara Fantasy Jacket £79.99 . Zara Skinny Jeans £29.99 . Zara Silk top (old) . Marni H&M Heels .
As you will have seen in yesterdays little blog post, I have purchased this gorgeous Zara fantasy jacket which is just so divine. This is one of my favourite new outfits at the moment, I think it’s a great work outfit or smart dinner look and so simple (sometimes simple is best). The outfit is also featuring my brand spanking new Zara jeans, which I have to say, are unbelievably good fitting and a really good shape. They’re bizarrely a size 6 (I’m usually an 8) and so they’re super snug fitting which works nicely for skinnies I think :) The jeans also made for a great festival day 1 look, obviously teamed with Welly’s :)
I also love this little backdrop for my photos, I love finding new places to take pictures of what I’m wearing. This was just round the corner from my house and I love the bold colour clashing :)
I also haven’t had a chance to write about the amazing pre Wimbledon party hosted by Richard Branson which I attended on Thursday with the lovely girls from WIWT. The event was just awesome, celeb fest to the extreme (I loved it). I met some really lovely people and partied in complete decadence into the early hours. I may do a post with some pics of the event, celebs, my outfit soon if you’re interested?
What do you think of this look, and the smart / casual styling? Let me know if you fancy seeing a post on the Branson party?

      I saw that same blazer in Zara the other day and I fell in love! The sad part is that it was really expensive! But well, at least you can have it and you are styling it so good

      I love the two tone navy with the pants and top– very chic and modern. Great jacket, too!
