What I Wore Wednesday - supermarket style

A quick trip to the supermarket this morning, and I just felt like wearing heels.  Why not?  Doing mundane mummy-chores doesn't mean I can't still enjoy throwing on some glitzy shoes!

Top, Old Navy, embroidered jeans, David Bitton (I've looked online for similar, but only came up with Ed Hardy-esque ones), Bag, Milly, Shoes, Charles Jourdan, necklace Accessorize

These shoes were a total find - I bought them in Oxfam on Carnaby Street, and the guy in the shop said they were so small no-one can fit into them, so if I had Cinderella feet I could have them for.... £7!! I almost wanted to apologise for robbing him as I ran out of the store!

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with these jeans.  They seem to surface every couple of years, and I dismiss them for ages until the mood strikes.

Do I Dare Double Denim?

I did, I went there, I double-denimmed.  And on date-night no less.  Mr.G grinned and shrugged, saying it's obviously one of those girl-things he won't get.

What's the verdict - to double-denim or not, would you?

Denim dress (worn as tunic) from Esprit, silk blazer from Zara, denim clam-diggers from Top Shop.

What I Wore Wednesday - a new love affair

You know how you fall in love with something and then want to wear it all the time?  Meet my new love - this swishy silk skirt from TK Maxx.  I absolutely love it, and wore it to dinner with friends last week, and then to a morning meeting the day after too!  Plus my new favourite red suede boots from Oscar Milo - well, if the British summer continues to be so elusive, I at least have a reason to alternate between these and my beloved gold Zadig & Voltaire sandals.

Mama loves... bejewelling your hair

I've mentioned before that I am a real magpie when it comes to accessories (in this post about earings), but lately my eye has been caught by beautiful accessories for hair, and I think that they need to be reclaimed from being just for brides!  Why should they have all the fun, and why shouldn't we bedeck our locks in jewels for a night out, or just a trip to the supermarket!

Here are just a few gorgeous pieces that caught my eye:

 

 

Sparkled, embellished, shaped hair-combs and pins look amazing with an updo and an LBD

 

 

Jewelled Barettes look so pretty for day or night, and fab on short hair too

 

 

 

 

And hair-bands - from Gatsby-inspired, to simple or fierce, but definitely not Sloane territory.
