Autumn Wardrobe

As Autumn rolled in this year I made some new purchases to update my wardrobe. My first stop was Zara, a brand I have always loved and trusted, they always have that look that I am going for running through every piece of the clothing.
I think today I will start with my feet. Firstly something every wardrobe needs, a reliable pair of flats, I usually go for black pumps or some variation but this year I bought these beauties.


Perfectly simple, these will go with anything and are easy to slip on in a rush. They are also extremely comfortable, you can wear them all day long!
Secondly I bought some boots, because you must have a stern pair of boots for the colder months to come.

I wanted mine to have a slight heel and as I browsed I came across these. I love them, I cannot complain. They are refined and ideal for me, effortless to get on and off thanks to the elastic sides and once you foot is inside it is secure. The perfect addition to my wardrobe.
Working my way upwards, next up is this classic red skirt.

It has a lovely look about it and works perfectly with a top tucked in or a crop top. I wear it with my boots (above), black tights and a black, white or cream crop top.
Next up it's this fabulous, toasty warm jumper. I bought this one size bigger than i'd usually so its super cosy.

I also purchased not one, but two coats. I couldn't resist but to be honest, they serve different purposes so it's okay, right?
Coat one.




















This timeless piece has a quirky lining and classic silhouette. It's great for the rain with a sweet umbrella. The cut is long which makes it even more classy in my opinion. A favourite.
Coat two.

More suitable for the cold misty days, you can snuggle into to the soft faux fur and wrap yourself up. I'm loving this because it goes with everything, i can fit my purse in those big pockets and if i'm not feeling the fur that day its removable!


Okay last but certainly not least are the accessories, my cat hat a my massive scarf.
The hat speaks for it's self in terms of how awesome it is (makes me look like a cat for pete sake) and the scarf is literally a huge soft, snuggly stylish pink beauty.

Leather slip-on shoes - Zara, £29.99
High-heeled leather bootie with elastic side - Zara, £49.99
Flared mini skirt - Zara, £35.99

My new purchases. Agent Provocateur

So I might have gone a bit over board on my recent purchases, of course the most expensive thing to buy for a woman is new underwear though I am wondering if I took it too far this time?
I was browsing online for something sweet and sexy for a holiday but unfortunately coming up short on all my go to stores (the more reasonably priced as well) a bit down I thought I may just have a look at Agent Provocateur. This was my first mistake. As soon as I went on that website I was mesmerized by their new collection, beautiful lace numbers and so many different styles! Well obviously I wanted them all but I settled for two stunning sets.
Set one was a little naughtier than I expected when it arrived at my house but very elegant none the less! I only purchased the bra and briefs for this set as I felt that they were enough without adding suspenders to the mix. The collection is called 'Lacy' and indeed it is. The bra is see through over your nipples, I suppose to give your man or your woman a sneek peak. Now for me, that is sexy enough, that's being a little bit dirty showing my breast but I'm afraid to my surprise this set got even more raunchy upon examining the briefs.

I do not think I will go into too much detail about where there is and where there is not any fabric on this pair on pants, use your imagination or buy them fir yourself at www.agentprovocateur.com.
The second set I purchased and my favourite (even thought the first is gorgeous) is called 'Zuri' and reminds me of a firework, yes, a firework.
I actually bought the entire set for this one which set me back £245 but was totally and completely 100% worth it. I was a bit unsure when ordering this as it is quite out there but a soon as i unwrapped that pretty pink box I fell in love. The detail alone on these pieces in worth the extra money your sending on designer underwear rather then you average brand.

The colours work together perfectly and this set is actually quite comfortable, I wore it all day to a wedding and was worried that I would become uncomfortable and itchy but I was fine all day long and felt confident with this on underneath my dress. By far my favourite undergarment that I own.

Lacy Bra - Agent Provocateur, £95
Lacy Ouvert - Agent Provocateur, £85
Zuri Bra - Agent Provocateur, £85
Zuri Briefs - Agent Provocateur, £75
