30 for 30 Challenge: Day 29

The penultimate outfit of the challenge. Can you believe that I have nearly completed it? Me neither!! I know it has taken me somewhat longer than most to do so, but I was determined to finish and finish, I will.

This outfit is a weekend one, hence the casual nature of it:

30 for 30 Challenge: Day 16

Have been wanting to wear this Dorothy Perkins' blouse ever since I first wore it. But wanted to give it long enough for you all not to get too fed up with it! What do you reckon?

30 for 30 Challenge: Day 10 and Happy Valentine's Day

Not looking completely "with it" in this photo (as my mother would say!) - clearly I needed the coffee in my hand!

30 for 30 Challenge: Day 4

Today's outfit is a little uninspired I'm afraid. But that is the thing about posting every day. Sometimes I will have an "off" day. Today, I am full of cold and all I wanted to do this morning when the alarm woke me, was crawl back under the covers and drink my herbal tea. But I got up and got dressed:

Sale shopping

I always feel bad when just days after my family have shown such considerable generosity, I am dashing off to the shops to hit the sales. My darling grandmother has in recent years, given me money for Christmas, so that I might treat myself to something in the sales from her. Last year, I bought myself a pair of ankle boots that I have worn nearly to death for the past twelve months (you can see them here, here and here!). This year, I hit the Marks and Spencer sale early and managed to grab a wonderful long cable knit gilet that I had lusted after when it was full price. There were just two left. Both in my size. It was a sign! It has been keeping me warm all day:

Mani of the Week: Topshop in Sunset

I wasn't sure about this one when I first got it earlier in the summer but after putting it on a few days ago I am actually starting to love the sparkles.

What do you think of this Topshop nail polish in Sunset?

As this was a limited edition for summer, it is unfortunately no longer available. But I have found a very similar shade - with sparkles - from Eyeko: try their Chi Chi polish for Girlie Nails. While you're at it, if you make an order over £10 this week, you get Eyeko's Vintage Polish for Elegant Nails for FREE. It is a lovely pastely jade green shade. And please don't forget to enter my Ambassador's code - E11308 - so that while you get your FREE polish, I get a little commission too. Thank you.

I have noticed that I wear a lot of red and pink polishes but have found that this can pose problems in that when wearing red polish, I can't really wear pink and vice versa. Do you find you have this problem or do you just go with it?

Paris: What I Wore

After everything I said about Hand Baggage and packing light, I think that I failed. Completely. But I certainly had enough clothes for a few chic outfits for my trip to Paris:

Looking a little tired after a day of travelling and a delicious French dinner. I was wearing: River Island scarf, River Island tee (just seen), Topshop cardigan, River Island skirt, Topshop leggings and Dorothy Perkins boots.

A day of sight-seeing, followed by an evening of late night shopping was on the agenda for out first full day in Paris. I was wearing: Topshop cardigan, New Look tunic, H&M ring, Topshop leggings and Spartoo over-the-knee boots.

On Thursday morning we took a walk in le Jardin des Tuiliers. I was wearing: Next aviator jacket, Next scarf, Asos tee (just seen), River Island skirt, River Island tights and Dorothy Perkins boots.

Thursday night mum and I made a mad dash to see the Eiffel Tower all lit up in the dark (just seen behind me). I was wearing: Next aviator jacket, Next scarf, New Look tunic, Topshop leggings and Spartoo boots.

On Friday we spent a lovely day in Montmartre soaking up the bohemian atmosphere. I was wearing: Next aviator jacket, Topshop cardigan, River Island dress, H&M belt and Dorothy Perkins boots.

Friday night dinner included the addition of my (Wear It) Pink H&M jumper. While Saturday's travel outfit was the jumper and Topshop leggings, minus the dress.

My Dorothy Perkins ankle boots are definitely my favourite pair of winter shoes. They keep my feet warm in the cold weather and can be dressed down but just as easily teamed with a smarter outfit, thanks to their small kitten heel.

What is your "go-to" for city breaks? Do you struggle to pack light or are you better than me?

Last but certainly not least: Kate Moss for Topshop

Lanvin pour H&M is not the only high street collaboration making the hearts of bargain fashionistas everywhere flutter and their bank managers shudder. Kate Moss's final collection for Topshop launched to massive crowds at the Oxford Circus flagship store last night.

Kate Moss is undoubtedly one of my all-time greatest Style Icons and I love everything she wears but I've never been too fussed over her collections for Topshop. Sure, they have all looked great but I've never felt compelled to go and stake out my place at the front of the queue. But this time, this time, it's different. It's the last time.

Here are my top picks for those on a budget:

And for those with a little more cash to splash out:

And my top top Topshop pick: this skirt:

Which looks kind of familiar, don't you think?

Seems that lucky Olivia Palermo got her hands on a piece of the collection a little earlier than the rest of us!

What do you think of this latest and last collection by Kate Moss for Topshop? Will you be buying anything from it? Have you already? Do tell!
