Style Update: Track is back!
Take me back 21 years and you'll find a teenager begging her mom for a Juicy Couture velour tracksuit. No really, I'm pretty sure I promised allowance, extra chores and straight As on report cards in exchange for this golden ticket fashion item. It was a must have, with or without the "Juicy" statement rear. Every celeb had a set and every magazine was writing it up as the next best thing since the invention of clothes themselves. Was anyone not touched by Juicy mania?
Fast forward to present day and I still have a soft spot for the ensemble, but I'm giving the traditional Juicy Couture black tracksuit a modern day wardrobing update. From full monty (top and bottom tracksuit attire) to hoodie only, I wanted to show how both ways work with the simple change of bottom half! From velour to sequins (also from Juicy Couture this season), I'm presenting two day looks that are easily wearable for dressing up or dressing down the afternoon. All parts Juicy Couture with a pinch of nostalgia and I'm a smiling bunny just thinking of how much fun this was to shoot!

Style Update: Moo
I swear I was a cowgirl in another life. Why else would I let out a scary shriek of absolute delight in spotting this Antonio Zender wrap in the corner of the Fenwick of Bond Street scarf department (which is epic by the way...and this designer is one I have only ever seen at Fenwick's). Yes, yes, I am going on a bit about how much I love this store lately, but it's because I have been going in so often to peruse the new collections for autumn winter. And I, frankly speaking, do firmly believe this is the best edit in London. I don't think I'm going to stop saying that until it's clear to the world. I'm a woman on a mission... a fashion mission!
I digress... Basically, today's Style Update is simply existing to show off the beauty of this Antonio Zender cashmere wrap. It's my perfect travel accessory. Well, that and the vintage Louis Vuitton duffle that my mother decided was time to hand down. Bless the mothers that collect and save for future generations!Tuesday, 4 October 2016
Store Tour: Polo Ralph Lauren, Regent Street, London
If I'm missing, let Polo Ralph Lauren be the first place you look to find me. This new flagship store on Regent Street is, well, it's home. One step inside the store and you'll feel as if you've walked straight out of London and right into a Manhattan masterpiece. Yes, the Polo Ralph Lauren store delivers on the dream that is Ralph Lauren. You may remember Ralph Lauren was once quoted as saying, "I don't design clothes, I design dreams." Well, if ever there were a shining example of just how real that statement was, it's found here, now, in London. Ralph Lauren has created a world in which everyone wants to play a part and the Polo Ralph Lauren Regent Street setup is just another chapter in that book of classic American life.
Last week, I found myself wondering the halls of the massive three floored Regent Street fixture and discovered just how much debt I will find myself in come the end of the season. For those of you that loved Ralph Lauren's September showcase at fashion week, this collection will be your dream from top to toe. And the fun doesn't stop there.... there's the whole family to shop for. The ground floor is reserved for the men of the world, the first for the woman and an annex, of sorts is tucked away for kids. For those of you looking for a more personal approach to the brand, there's even a customization station in the basement, complete with a special Regent Street embroidered bear (so making that happen).

Style Update: Swanning through life
Every single morning, believe it or not, I'm the woman screaming at her closet saying "I have nothing to wear." No really, I realize the irony in this situation. I'm supposed to be the style advisor here, the person putting together that outfit of outfits. But, in all honesty, the struggle is real and it's real for every single one of us. I imagine even Anna Wintour, although she'll never admit it, probably greets her closet doors with silent frustration in the morning. But then, as I'm sure you all know, you have a day where it all just comes together. You reach for that skirt you love, the shirt you know brings out the happiness in your skin tone and the shoes that give you a certain strut. They all come together and work in such sweet harmony that you're pretty sure you've somehow just changed the world a little for the better. No? Just me?
What I'm wearing:
Marina Rinaldi Pink Silk Shirt, Marina Rinaldi Fringed Tube Skirt, Kate Spade Swan Bag, New Look Gem Shoes
