I want Lanvin and flowers

Hope you had a wonderful christmas! I did, I spent my Christmas days eating, drinking, talking, singing, opening presents and watching a Christmas Carol and Scrooge (yes again, shame on me!). Today I am recovering from all of that..

I am wearing a Lanvin for H&M dress, H&M clutch, Zara boots, feather ring from New Yorker, owl ring from Ebay and jacket from Alpinestars by Denise Focil.

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN...SALES TIME!

Posted by Fashion Junior at Large

Yes, what used to be known as the January Sales have crept further and further forward, so now they start before we have even got Christmas out of the way! However, if you find the masses of 'bargains' (we use that word carefully) hard to negotiate, make sure you pick up your bumper double issue of Grazia today, featuring our Sales Guide. The Fash Ed and I have hand-picked the very best pieces for you to buy now and wear in 2011, so that you can chose items that will be on-trend for months to come, rather than yet ANOTHER sequinned dress that you don't need. After all, there is a reason why some things go in the sale.

Hope it helps, let us know if you manage to elbow your way to find the best discounted buys!

Kindness is like snow, it beautifies everything it covers..

Snow, snow and more snow is all I see lately.. It's causing many traffic problems all around Europe but the fact is that it is still so beautiful to look at (at least if you don't have to go anywhere)! By the way, I just finished decorating my christmas tree! It is so beautiful, I will make a picture later to show you guys!

About my look of today, I am wearing a great camel coat from ohmyfrock, skirt & hat from H&M, Chloé boots via penderiedeluxe and a bag from ASOS.
Enjoy your sunday sweeties!

ESSENTIAL CHRISTMAS READING

Posted by Fashion Junior at Large

The Fash Ed and I don't just read Grazia, Vogue and Elle y'know. We actually have an unofficial book club, which primarily involves me borrowing books from her enviable library of fashionable tomes. When we are bombarded with newspapers, blogs and websites throwing information at us all day long, we both enjoy having a good book to escape with at the end of the day.

 Author Lesley M. M. Blume: elegance personified.

Our latest literary treasure comes courtesy of Lesley M. M. Blume, a brilliant author, style editor and columnist at The Huffington Post (essential daily reading!) and her latest book, Let's Bring Back: An Encyclopedia of Forgotten Yet Delightful, Chic, Useful, Curious and Otherwise Commendable Things From Times Gone By was simply too wonderful to keep to ourselves!

Lesley M.M. Blume (apparently, no relation to Judy) is a writer and cultural observer based in her native New York, and has long been a champion of all things traditional and refined in her 'Let's Bring Back' column for the Post. It was turned into this incredible book which is, in our humble opinion, essential Christmas reading.

Normally, this encyclopedia style book is the type you would dip into on a lunch break, treating yourself to a few entries per day. Unfortunately a few weeks back I found myself stuck on a snow-hindered train, which offered plenty of time for an in-depth read. Blume's writing style is witty, sharp and refined; other critics have compared her to Truman Capote for her intelligent, accurate observations of human life and culture. I was engrossed by her incredible knowledge of etiquette, history and cultural icons - one minute I was reading the entry on Fabergé eggs, the next I was learning about Martha Gellhorn, America's first female war correspondent. It's the kind of book that makes you feel like your brain is expanding as you read it.

 From consommé to courtship!

American Vogue are big fans of this lady. They recently chose Blume as a founding member of the Vogue 100, an organization of “influential decision makers and opinion leaders known for their distinctive taste in fashion and culture, [and who] personify the rising influence of women over the past several decades.” High praise indeed!

So if any blog fans are desperately searching for a last minute Christmas present, or just want a tome to keep you quietly occupied after Christmas dinner, then look no further.

Vintage duffle coat

It's so cold again, so it's nice to have a coat that you love and that keeps you warm during these cold winter days. Like this vintage duffle coat I am wearing here. I bought it on ebay a couple of months ago and I love it to dead! For the rest I am wearing a See by Chloé dress, Les Jumelles necklace, H&M deer ring, Chloé shoes and a Primark bag.

BTW, I am really looking forward to christmas, aren’t you?
I have been so busy lately that I am really late with setting up a christmas tree. But I am finally planning to put one up and decorate it this weekend! Yeah, that is really gonna get me in the christmas spirit!
