A Hidden Treasure
5 December 2011
I stumbled across this little fashion oasis in the heart of South Kensington last weekend, called D&Me. Which was started by Marcelle Symons, a former partner in Paul & Joe UK boutiques and director of the fashion brand One Vintage. One Vintage is a collection of one-off pieces designed by Marcelle, inspired by her unbelievably amazing collection of vintage garments.
D&Me is the very unique daughter of One Vintage, a 3 year old brand which has developed a following by fashionistas Worldwide. I can completely understand this, when walking into the boutique it is like walking into Marcelle's home, the attention to detail is what makes this boutique so special, beautiful images are painted onto the walls, the huge vintage mirrors and light fittings are like works of art. The rails are visually merchandised to the highest of standards and are adorned with what seems like handpicked items, which are all to die for. The jewellery, which is displayed under vintage glass cabinets is honestly impossible to walk past, one of my favourite designers at the moment stocks her pieces there, Eva Perez.
This little treasure of a boutique is a must visit, I am totally obsessed and have composed my entire Christmas list from this shop.. Santa you will love it!!

Dipped Dyed Biker Trench

This has to be one of my favourite Burberry trenches, the sight of the biker leather sleeves sends a fashion shiver down my back!
Also how could I not blog about Nicola's pink dipped dyed hair .... one word regarding this... Divine!!
Sunday Shearling
28 November 2011
Sunday's are one of my favourite days of the week, wondering around the chilled Chelsea back streets, in and out of the fashionable Kings Road boutiques, I wish I could do this every day!
This weekend was loving the chilly temperature, ideal for my vintage shearling coat that I found in a shop off Portobello, teamed up with classic denim shorts and of course my trusty Burberry scarf, I was set and very snugly for a spot of Sunday retail therapy!
Chic & Seek Birthday Event
27 November 2011
On Thursday I attended the 2nd Birthday of my favourite online shopping destination, Chic & Seek, an online boutique where you can sell those fantastic items that just aren't for you anymore, and pick up those that are... I am totally addicted!
Items from handbags to fur coats, are all practically brand new, it's amazing, nothing looks worn - I even found the fabulous Emma Watson Burberry Lilac Trench with knotted shoulders still with it's original sales tags on it! As we sipped the most divine champagne cocktails, we wondered around the gorgeous showroom, which is situated in a sleepy mews in Notting Hill. To top the evening off we indulged in quick and fabulous manicure before hitting the Electric for a nightcap!

My Art Of The Trench
23 November 2011
If you haven't already heard about Burberry's genius social media platform Art Of The Trench, you need to check it out!
Three years ago Burberry commissioned the legendary Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist to go out onto the streets and snap the most beautiful street style photography of people wearing Burberry's iconic trench coat. From then on Burberry followers could upload their own Art Of The Trench pictures as long as they are 'street style' 'outside' and great quality photographs.
I am totally addicted to Art Of The Trench, in my opinion it's the most beautiful social media site there is at the moment, therefore, I was ecstatic when one of my images got selected. This was an image I featured on a previous post called Meow Power of the lovely Vale, wearing her leather trench!
