Her Item of the Day:

Calling all lovers of glitter! (Not the movie...) These fab-u-lous sparkling brogues are a must. A MUST I tell you!


Venus Glitter Lace Up Brogues, £30, Topshop.com

I picked up a pair for London Fashion Week, and it was the best £30 I ever spent. They are super comfortable, cobble-friendly, and instantly dazzles up even the simplest outfit (like the day I had a cold and couldn't be bothered with anything beyond jeans and a cosy jumper).

So if you don't have one of these in your life (also available in silver), get thee to a Topshop.

Her French Lesson:

No, this isn't about a recent trip to Paris that I took. Just the AW11 French Connection press day. Which I assure you is more interesting, unless you want to hear about me sweating into my jumper as I did NOT know Paris can hit 25 degrees in early April.

Anyways, the new collection left me with plenty to be excited about. Many 70's trends are staying on (I didn't buy those flares for nothing, phew!) and I can't wear half the colours so it means I won't shop as much. However, I do love the look of 70's fashion, and there were plenty of drool worthy pieces at this press day:


Wear with only a bra under. Great for date night (well.... if you know you'll let him get to second base). 


I love this, but I'm worried it would be difficult to wear without the jacket. Back rolls.


Yes!


Fun knit shorts for those skinny enough to look good in it. 


Ah, something we can all wear :)


Zip up your wild side for day, unzip for night.


The essential NYE party shoe. I know it's only April, but a girl's gotta plan! 


This speaks to my personal taste.


Easy way to make a statement.


For the boyfriend, but I'd definitely steal it.


Difficult colour to wear. I will shoot envious glares at you if I see you on the street pulling this off. Don't be alarmed. 


A little autumn boho chic, love!

Her House of Mystery:

Alright, I have a load of Autumn/Winter 2011 press days to catch up on.... let's start with the first I attended, and by far the most creative:

Anya Hindmarch.

Complete with vibrating tables, a peephole in a wardrobe, and a beautiful collection, the AH team truly went above and beyond the typical call of duty for a press day event. The premise was a house of mystery, and I swear I was nearly pulled into Narnia while peeking through the wardrobe.


Rocking horse featuring a clutch as a saddle.


Gorgeous burnt orange tote, hot colour for the AW11 season!


Love!


A bit random, this tiny skull was on a ladder, so I decided to be all arty and zoomed in. Blame it on the theatre school.


If I can't have a money tree, I'll gladly take this instead!


Sexy.


My personal fave. The photo doesn't do this gem justice. It was buttery soft and the black details are actually a snakeskin pattern. 


The piano played itself and had Hindmarch written on it. It was little details like this that added to the mysterious atmosphere and made me never want to leave. That, and the terrific catering. 


Why not?


The gyrating table.

Her Juicy Fantasy:

Somebody pass me a bib please. Great, now that the drool is taken care of, let's talk about Burberry's delicious AW11 show from yesterday! I am madly in love with this coat:


If I get that money tree I've been asking the universe for, it's so on. It's an interesting shade of orange, one that I may call quite wearable. It might be bright and punchy, but there's something muted in the shade that easily makes it your go-to coat of the season.

In addition to the above lovely number, Burberry displayed a juicy selection of fruity autumn colours, and a little bit of (furry) dark chocolate for good measure:





I want to wear you....

What can I say, I'm feeling it. I've never been one for their classic plaid bags, or even much of a trench coat wearer (*gasp!*) but these can adorn my body any day of the week.
