Rag & Bone | Poppy's Style

Just read the title to this post again and I assure it isn’t as morbid as it sounds! MM and I just returned from the ABC Kids Trade Show in Louisville, Kentucky. I’ve only been once before when it was based in Las Vegas. When we both go it means that we have to get a sitter for the children and I really don’t like leaving them for 2 nights. Don’t get me wrong – I like the adult time away but I miss my little ones like crazy. The reason for the ‘one less life’ is that there is always far too much partying involved and I really feel like a cat with one less life on my return to normality!

I was rubbish at taking my outfit of the day photos – which is madness really as they would have been fun with a great mirror, well thought out packing and no one trying to get me out of the house quickly – but I had other priorities! I did get some fun shots of the party animal that I am though…On the first evening I wore my AllSaints Dita t-shirt dress, Zara bordeaux skinnies, Zara jersey jacket and my Rag & Bone Newbury boots. Here’s a photo from the loo in the exhibition center – people really do think I’m weird when they catch me photographing myself!

Now the incriminating photo…dead classy:)

The cure the following day included:

Today I’m just about feeling human again so managed to pick out something other than sweatpants from the closet. These are Zara cargo pants which I love – really comfy with lots of stretch, a Zara camouflage top, JohnnieB leather jacket from a couple of years ago and my Ash Bowie sneakers in camel.

Now off to sweat out the toxins at the Y. See you tomorrow!

Oh yes – the new boots are fabulous – as one would hope – I have Paolo Nutini ringing in my head as I strut around in them. They’re higher than you think but with the padded foot bed they are incredibly comfortable. I am in love with them. Really does now make me question why I have all those other boots in my closet…I guess my daughter will grow into them one day.

I’m loving the red today – funny how some mornings I question it and other mornings I feel like I am totally rocking it. I really do think it all depends on the clothes – I have to choose wisely around the hair. It’s not restrictive – but some things just feel ‘more right’ with it. These clothes today feel perfect with it – the Newburys may of course have something to do with the joy. I’ve since thrown a scarf on as it is a little nippier here today. The leather quilted jacket is Zara, and this is one of my first AllSaints purchases from about 4 years ago – it’s a jumper dress and I can’t for the life of me remember the name of it – think it began with ‘v’? The leggings are Boden – possibly the best leggings in the world, and then – ta da – the boots are Rag & Bone. Due to the colorless outfit I went full on with the red lips today too:)
