A slip for each girl!
I’m the type of girl that loves versatility in clothes, the more looks I can get out of one item the better, that’s why the selection of slips we have on our new homepage “a slip for each girl” is captivating me. Sometimes on the weekends You want to be super lazy, you want to lie in and just have a slow weekend. So wear a cute slip to bed of Friday then adapt It to an outfit for just popping out! Wear the Breakfast in Bed Romper then throw on a pair of jeans… an easy effortless outfit is complete.
My personality changes from a Bohemian Meadow to a Tomboy Lou so below are how I would adapt my two slips that suit my personality best!
What type of girl are you and how would you adapt your slip?

Street Style: Wide Leg Pants
This week the girls here at home office put one hand in the air for the wide leg bottoms; We dressed them up and dressed them down to see which style we enjoyed the most. The 70’s cool pant has made a return for us; we love the idea of toning the extravagant pant down with simple tops and touches of accessories. It might not be a trend for everyone but these girls rock them!

Blogger Diary: “Sometimes the light shines bright”
This weekend my mind was running overtime, running overtime with inspiring thoughts. Sometimes I just need a new twist to my weekend in order for the light to come back on again; you can get stuck in a routine and that routine can kill your mind, so Friday I went to New York to see the future Free People collection for June Wholesale. The collection was bright and poppy and reminded me of the Sun, Sand and Sea just what I needed on that brutal cold day.
Being in a new place for a couple of days gave me a new light I saw things that made my inspiration bank fill up and it made me feel alive all weekend, don’t you just love when that happens?

Vintage Coco Chanel
“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”
~Coco Chanel
Coco Chanel was a pioneer when it came to elegance and sophisticated French fashion.She gave women that breathtaking allure with her attention to simplicity and her trademark Little Black Dress, which has become a staple. Chanel has made an impact on my life and Karl Lagerfeld has continued to do so, one of my favorite shows to date is the Fall 2011 runway show. So when our vintage buyer sourced some rare Coco Chanel vintage jewelry, I was a little bit taken aback. They sure do dazzle with elegance!

A Bloggers Diary
“In this modern age everything, everywhere seems to lead the senses outward and away from oneself. Don’t be afraid of quiet. Find the time for peace and introversion, and life will have new meaning.”
~ “The way of Tea” by Aaron Fisher
This Holiday I spent some quality time with my family. They flew here from Wales and brought with them a new light; I took a step back and soaked in some quiet – we took peaceful walks around New York where my eyes were wide open looking for unexpected beauty. And, we snuggled on the sofa with our tummies full of hearty foods until we drifted asleep. Christmas goes way too fast, don’t you think? But hey, another celebration is soon to come, New Years Eve and then a brand new year to look forward too!
