Yay for the weekend! It's my first at home for a while so I've been spending it sorting and relaxing. Yesterday was an icky day weather wise, but I decided to make the most of it and go into town and meet a friend at a new brilliant gluten free, vegetarian restaurant/cafe called Ethos on Eastcastle Street, just behind Oxford Street. Before I did, I snapped a few pictures of my outfit...

This is a pretty typical weekend outfit for me; jeans, top, little bag and some kind of block heel or trainer. I'm not quite ready to give up on summer just yet so am trying to get as many wears of my Chloe sandals in as possible. When I first got them I was a bit challenged with how to wear them, I don't make habit of wearing expensive shoes every day so want to take care of them, but do not see the point of not wearing them! As it turns out, for price per wear they've been epic. They look great with denim and a simple top - so if you do feel like treating yourself, here is the link... For those not so keen but want the look, try these babies in the Topshop sale for £10...

The bag and the jeans were both cheeky purchases from a trip to Bicester Village last month. I was driving back from Scotland and decided to swing by. Long time readers of the blog will know I have been dying for a Celine Trio for a long old time. I stalked Vestiaire Collective for months and months but eventually decided I wanted a brand new one. So, I took some advice and asked the girls in the Celine Bicester store is they had any at the back and this green one (above) was presented to me. I bought it in a heartbeat, for less than a third of the RRP!

The jeans are from Levi. I went in and what with the various promotion and offers got 4 pairs for under £100, so you'll be a seeing a lot more Levi on the blog these days! These boyfriend ones are supposed to be cropped and have a cut off edge - but being 5 foot 3 I still have to roll them... They've so soft too, even after I washed them in the sea in Croatia and in three cold washes to shrink them a little to hold their shape! Find the exact same ones here.

The top is from Gap, a store that I really recommend you take a look at for AW16. I love their basics-with-a-twist. This green top is so easy to wear and super comfortable - looks like you've made more effort thinking about your outfit than you have. Find it here. Lastly, the sunglasses are from Max and Co. I absolutely love them, once I'd got over them being quite "out there" - find them here.

Not sure about you, but I've been spending as much time as humanly possible inside in the warm. London has got cold all of a sudden, which we can't really complain about as we were spoilt with a mild December and January... Any way, last week I mustered some strength and left the house for breakfast with friends at Riding House Cafe in the centre of town...

As you can see I kept it pretty simple; wrapping up in my Karen Millen camel-coat (still available in their clearance section, here) and my trusty Jimmy Choo Youth boots (2 years in and still going strong - best investment ever) are the easiest things to wear for this kind of day. Yes, a bunny or two may have passed away in the making of them - but they're bi-product rabbit fur and so, so warm... They're very expensive, but you can find them at their Bicester Village store for much cheaper (more on them in a minute)... My jeans are my standard Paige wonderful-ones... Between these and my Topshop Mom jeans, I need no other denims...

And the jumper? Well, I may be going a little old-school but a couple of weeks ago Anneli and I went to Bicester Village (read her post here) and I snapped up this bargain from their Kenzo store. It's been years since I wore this designer, everybody had one of their Tiger tees a few seasons back. There definitely was an element of nostalgia that influenced the purchase. Ooh and not to mention how incredibly soft and comfortable it is. Basically like wearing your pyjamas...

Accessories wise, the bag is from Prada. I had hoped to snap one up at Bicester's store here but they'd all been cleared out - you really need to rush up their for opening (easier now the trains run direct) to get yours mitts on one. For now, I'm making do stealing Anneli's. The sunnies are from Hugo Boss (every season they seem to make my favourite pair) and the scarf was a gift from the Selfridges team a few Christmasses ago... All in all, a very lazy attempt at getting dressed to face the world - but I think I just about got away with it...
