FYI - LOVE Kardashians

I have something to confess... I love anything Kardashian! Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kourtney and Khloe take Miami and the latest Kardashian instalment to hit UK TV screens; Kim and Kourtney Take New York. There's either a love or hate camp when it comes to the Kardashians and I'm a lover. They are my guilty pleasure! Turns out the love-ly people over at LOVE magazine are fans too, here are the girls shot by Patrick Demarchelier for the current LOVE Magazine.

Get The Look

The grey jumper.

The grey jumper here, worn by Kate Bosworth, Melanie Huynh and by H&M and Stella McCartney. Wherher its oversized, with cut out sections or fabric added in I love the twist to any basic jumper. Whilst I love them all I really love the 3.1 Phillip Lim knitwear. He always designs clothes that women want to wear... or in particular what I want to wear. I'm a lover of basics and this is a great twist on an everyday grey jumper. Relaxed and casual with a contemporary fishtail design.

Styled here by net-a-porter but look at Warehouse, another high street favourite of mine. They have got a great version in a beige marl for a fraction of the price. Oh how I love the great British high street. 

Pleat Back Top

Here's some other items from Warehouse I'd quite like to get my hands on.
 

 Trapeze Shirt

Clean Shopper

Something tells me I'm more of a minimalist than a maximalist, the latest trend camps for Spring/Summer. Which group do you come under?

Great Read

 A menage a trois

Julia Restoin Roitfeld and hubby - soo in tune.

Secrets of French girls

Just how/why do the French look so chic?

Lunch with the FT: Natalie Massenet

The inspirational Natalie Massenet and the looming Mr Porter.

Ruby Shoes

How to choose? Love this photo of Giovanna Battaglia, she's like a modern day Dorothy Gale. She says "My problem with fashion week packing is the editing of my shoes!" and these are just the red ones, have you ever seen so many?

Beauty Lust-Have

I need this is in my life, Nars Blush in Orgasm. Nars product's, blushes in-particular seem to be the go to for people in fashion, models and stylists. Check out Emily Weiss' blog Into The Gloss on all things Nars with insiders favourite picks. Apparently Sarah Jessica Parker used it in SATC, no wonder she had that beautiful glow about her....

One of those lust-haves - I say 'lust' have because I don't have one...yet! And as my favourite YSL blush has bitten the dust, I plan on ordering myself some asap. At £20.50 its in premium make-up territory but worth it? (please let me know) I'm sure. Think I'll stop by ASOS to get mine.

Bed Hair Day's

Perfectly coiffed 'bed head' hair at Michael Kors and Proenza Schouler. Easy, relaxed up do - so hard to replicate. How I wish to wear my hair today. Candids from Vogue.com

FYI - DIY Idea

I am somewhat envious of the ease and elegance some people have when wearing certain pieces of clothing, without a whiff of self conciousness. I am afraid to say I am the latter but I saw this detail on BCBG Spring/Summer catwalk, and whilst I know this is nothing new, it sparked a little DIY project  that could kick my paranoia into confidence.

A simple sheer cape-let or t-shirt top (as they are my got to piece), either oversized or cropped could add the elegance to any strappy top or dress whilst also giving me the much needed confidence to pull it off. The sheer yet slight coverage would hide certain concerns of mine but add a sensual sophisticated twist by giving you a peek without having to brave the a bare back or décolletage! A project I'm sure to bring out again and again particularly for summer. So the FYI - DIY out comes the silk chiffons and the sewing machine.

Net-a-Porter Basics

I'm a huge fan of Net-a-porter.com and love checking in every week to read their weekly magazine, I am a bit of a magazine junky! This week I loved Beccy Clarke's article on basics(click image to view larger), a huge staple in my wardrobe and something I'll add to my collection of on almost every shopping trip. So whilst my collection of basics is bursting at the seams, I just need to find that fabulous statement piece.... but as for the basics I got it covered! I like to get mine from Primarni, H&M and Topshop. Cheap and cheerful! I would love to purchase from the likes of Kain, T by Alexander Wang or James Perse. The modal/silk mix t-shirt's by Kain sound a divine combination, I may have to invest.
