Style and The Chelsea Flower Show

The Chelsea Flower Show always seems to entice women to wear floral dresses and accessories as if they should fit in with the theme and event they are attending. As the event is in Chelsea, and quite a posh thing to go to, these floral dresses are always quite demure (see picture number 3 for prime example). However amongst the many style shots that Vogue or other fashion photographers take at this event, I often always prefer the outfits of the women who refuse to play camouflage.  Instead they dress for themselves (see pictures 1 and 2). Cheers to these well dressed posh totties.  I think they look fabulous.

(I want to wear this to work everyday)

Style File: At the Coffee Shop

Boring post?  Yes probably.  But I thought I would share with you, blog reader, that I did drink coffee the other day and that I was wearing clothes.  Nothing out of the ordinary really.  I mean you wouldn't have a coffee naked would you?  

I wore:

Grey Beanie: Zara

Neon sequin grey jumper: Whistles

Necklace: South Africa

Nails: Jessica

Leather Look Leggings: Miss Selfridge

Coat: Zara TRF

Watch: Longines

Shoes: Long black riding boots by Bertie

You have probably gained nothing from reading this post.  Its not like your learning to cook a delicious healthy recipe or learning about a cool new clothing brand.  If anything this post is just to show off that I like my wardrobe and the coffee is good at a cafe called Margo and Julia's in Parsons Green. So thanks.

Whistles Leather Trousers

After getting back from Mozambique, I downloaded my 218 emails that were waiting for me.  I am not trying to boast that I have a lot of friends emailing me because I sincerely do not (damn).  As a blogger, fashion fanatic and lover of the Internet, I am a subscriber to many a designer, blog, shop and news platform.  I would say that 98% of my emails are from these subscriptions.

I love these subcriptions.  They keep me in the loop of what is going on.  I wanted to share one element of one of my subcriptions – The leather pants from Whistles. Whistles is one of my favourite clothing brands at home (England).  Although I can’t really afford their clothes on my student budget, I love looking at their new items.  Their leather trousers really caught my eye. 

Four years ago if you said leather trousers would be the trouser of the a/w 12 season I think I would have laughed in your face. After Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were seen sporting their own superior leather trousers from The Row, and many a label following suite, the leather trouser is the pant with attitude. Even though I am sitting in sweltering in Stellenbosch South Africa, I want to be wearing a pair.

This Whitsles pair are perfect.  They are super skinny, fitted and have the zips to add that extra sexy biker look. With fashion being almost non-existent here in South Africa, I am itching to get home and try on some leather trousers to keep my pins warm in the English winter. Jane Sheperton, if in the 0.000001% chance you read this post, please save me a pair?
