This Time Last Week #1

I thought it was about time I gave my blog a regular feature, and after some deliberation I have come up with 'This Time Last Week' a Sunday post where I talk about what I got up to the previous Sunday, now if I am honest my life on a Sunday isn't always that exciting but when it is I will be sure to blog about it. So this time last Sunday I was on a train making my way up to London for Vodafone's London Fashion Weekend, it was such a fun day, one of my favourite things about the whole experience was seeing all the amazing street styles. Some of the most inspiring looks were really out there, think big hats, cartoon style clutch bags and clashing prints and bold colours. I really feel like I need to get more experimental with my style and push those boundaries, I also couldn't resist including a snap of Luca as he was showcasing his latest vintage purchase, a cord bomber jacket from To Be Worn Again in Brighton.

Where do you look for fashion inspiration?

Currently Reading: Paris Street Style

When wondering around Paris you just can't help but notice how incredibly chic everybody looks, the Parisian style is so effortless and beautiful it really is quite inspiring. The Parisians have a lot to work with, during my recent trip I couldn't get over how cheap vintage pieces are and how many thrift stores you can find in such a small area. I purchased 'Paris Street Style - A guide to effortless chic by Isabelle Thomas and Frederique Veysset' on amazon recently and I haven't been able to put it down since!

It has really good tips on creating the typical Parisian Chic look on any budget, the photography is gorgeous and the book is full of interviews with people in the fashion industry sharing their thoughts on style. It lists all the key pieces you need to achieve the classic look including a cashmere sweater and the perfect bag. This book really has covered all the basis from footwear to accessorises and I really recommend it if you are thinking of creating a capsule wardrobe.
