Something for the Weekend - coming down from a fashion induced high.

Yes its true, since my last "SFTW" post, I have been up on and have come back down from, a London Fashion Week  "Induced High" and with Milan starting yesterday, life is now all about the live stream for the next two weeks as I try and catch shows from Milan and then Paris.  It is not always easy to keep up with everything when you work, have a house to run and try to have some sort of a life, but I did manage to catch the Prada show yesterday, fell in love with the shoes, although thought some of the models looked as though they were struggling to walk in them and then saw Miucca almost "stack it" as she came out to take her "bow".  How funny!

So it looks as though my thoughts on the wear-ability of the shoes are right, I'd still like to have a pair to find out for myself obviously!

The beginning of the week saw a huge buzz about the release of the new Mulberry bag the "Del Rey" inspired by American singer "Lana".

The bag sent the twitterverse into meltdown as Mulberry announced the name of their new bag just hours before their AW12 catwalk show at Claridges.  Lana is undoubtedly a rising star with an amazing talent but I think I would have been happier had they called their new arm candy offering "Adele" after some home grown iconic talent.

Talking of Fashion Week there are a couple of over forties street style shots I saw on the Guardian website and have been waiting to share with you as I always like to point out that fashion isn't just for the young.......

This is 40 year old Natalie Kingham who has the dream job of being head buyer for Matches wearing shirt and bag by Celine, Jumper from Topshop, Jeans from Current Elliott and boots by Christopher Kane.  I wouldn't mind a rummage through her closet or being allowed to give her Celine Luggage tote a little stroke......(why does it feel that everyone has one of these bags except me?). 

I also think that 51 year old Nancy rocks a red lip and looks fab in her Lanvin shoes and jeans and that there is something very "Debbie Harry" about her style.

Do you think these ladies "rock"?

Yesterday saw the hottest February day since 1988 with lots of us tweeting about wearing sunglasses for the first time or putting the boots away in favour of ballet flats.

I am most definitely up for buying some new sunglasses this year, the Dior ones have done me proud and I love them far more than my Victoria Beckham aviators which I rarely wear and my Mykita's only come out on special occassions when I am having an SJP moment or find myself swanning around the port in Marbella.

I don't look this good in mine.

I like to make a statement with my sunglasses and am torn between the Karen Walker no1's which you can't seem to buy in the UK.....

 the  House of Harlow "Chelsea" which are supposed to be in stock on mywardrobe.com some time soon.....

and some twitter pals put the Chanel chain ones on my radar, but with prices starting at £277, I think I may have to give those a miss!

In light of the weather yesterday, I left my boots in the wardrobe but couldn't decide which shoes to wear for the school run but eventually opted for my Bloch pink ones.  I have been buying from Bloch for years as my daughters used to dance and it is a brand usually associated with dance shoes and accessories and although not cheap, their shoes are great quality, I have had these for a couple of years and they are still in fantastic condition and really comfortable to wear for anybody who can't quite stretch to the price of Lanvin, whose elasticated ballet flats killed my feet and ended up on ebay when I finally had to throw the towel in for the sake of my heels!

I also got out the pink lipstick and sorted out my pink Opi nail colours in preparation for springs imminent arrival.

If you are planning on adding some new season denim to your spring wardrobe, then hop on over to Donna Ida where you can take advantage of a £30 off code by using COMEBACK30 at checkout.  Offer is valid on full priced items only.

Have a lovely weekend my darlings and make sure to tell me what you are lusting after this week. xx
