#Inspiring Work Outfits

I have not blogged properly for ages now, and that is because I have recently started working full time in London- working life puts your time in perspective- every hour counts, there usually isn't enough of them throughout the day, and free time a.k.a. weekends have a whole new meaning. That said, working life is great- I just haven't got around to blogging much at all.  With every day comes new starts so with the new day tomorrow, I am going to endeavour to blog at least once a week. As for now, it is time to hit the hay sack for me. I am cream crackered.  For your viewing pleasure, here are a few outfits which I would love to wear to work. 

DVF: Celebration of the Wrap Dress

Diane Von Furtsenburg has invited us into her home in Connecticut for a first-time photo-shoot of her vintage and contemporary DVF collection.  This invitation comes as a fortieth anniversary celebration for her most famous garment: the wrap dress. The photo-shoot and video (find it on vimeo) was styled by Natalie Joos of Tales of Endearment.  I think you'll agree the clothes are fabulous and the photos are gorgeous- DVF can't go wrong in my eyes. 

 

 

Appraised Best Dressed: Vogue

I receive Vogue's best dressed of the week blog among their other fashion news updates.  This best dressed feature is great as not only do you get to see great inspirational style shots, but also other people's opinions of them.  For example, this week, a reader commented on every photo of Olivia Palermo claiming she had no style.  Miss Palermo in my books is one of the best dressed out there. Here are some of my favourites from this weeks best dressed and the reason I love them.

That eighties hair...

That white lace

Those wide leg trousers

That low slung dress.. and husband

That jacket

That belt... and boyfriend

That jewellery and lipstick

Ascot Attire

As promised in my previous post,  here is a snippet from my day at Ascot races.  Read on to see some posh, and very dapper attire.

Here is my best friend Emily.- You know those friends who are more like family?  We have grown up together and consequently she basically a sister.  Em was wearing a dress by ZARA, with a 'vintage' hat from a charity shop. This dress looked absolutely stunning on Em as she has a figure which makes a woman insanely jealous and vow to go to the gym everyday for a year. 

I wore a dress from French Connection (a few years ago), my Anya Hindmarch little clutch (courtesy of turning 21) and some big chunky office shoes.  I love wearing these shoes because they give me serious height,  they don't hurt my feet in the slightest and I can walk normally in them. Horraahh. My headgear (-or fascinator) is from House of Fraser. 

Emily and Libby. I am not sure where Libby got her gear but she looked great.

That's me attempting to look natural, like I've just seen a pigeon or something (taken by Em).

It was a gorgeous day and would recommend anyone to go- just don't expect to win loads of money; They always say, you will never meet a poor booky.

Im off to Ascot

I'm off to Ascot today! Im very excited to see this very British horse racing spectacle. -I've got the hat and all. Here is a picture of an Ascot look I love- it's quite Chanel- don't ya think?

It is likely I will post a picture of what I and my fellow Ascot goers are wearing on Instagram.  Follow me @slkeeble X

Style: At Home At Home

I love blogs that give you a sneak peak into people's stylish lives. I came across this blog post on the blog 'At Home At Home' via Pinterest.  Here is Tracey Wilkinson who has recently launched her own tee-shirt line.  Find the original blog post here.   

Blog: Advanced Style

I had to share this blog 'Advanced Style'; it documents some of the worlds most stylish women who are in their later years. The women of these pages have still got 'it'.  Aside from the fact this is a fantastic and quirky idea for a blog, I think the main reason this blog resonates with me is because my own granny (age 93) is one of the most stylish people I know. Granny Keeble still covets MAC fusia lippy and rocks a breton strip - my granny even bought a pair of jeggings a few years ago! The first photo below is my granny.  The others are taken from the blog Advanced Style.

Granny Keeble: She always wears her chunky silver ring which is of a castle and ghosts coming out of the windows- My sister and I have been fascinated with this ring for as long as we can remember.
