Slouchy straight jeans?

I love jeans. My favorite are skinny jeans – mainly because I think they are easier to wear with ankle boots, but also I feel a little less put together in boyfriend jeans, which admittedly may be the whole idea of them…

I may have found the perfect compromise though – the new slouchy straight jeans that seem to be appearing on shelves. It’s funny I had ordered a couple of pairs from Zara hoping they would work and then I saw the fabulous Tiffany Wendel wearing an Earnest Sewn pair, so I must be on the right track?

Here are the Zara pairs that I ordered – my preference seems to be grey and black right now!

The fit really depends on how slouchy you want them – they have lots of stretch in them and I have them in a US6. I absolutely love them. The blue denim pairs are selling out so hopefully they will restock.

So here I am in mine today – I feel so comfortable and cosy for this crappy weather (which secretly I enjoy!).

Jeans – Zara // Sneakers – Golden Goose // Jumper – Boden (25% off all knitwear until Thursday!) // Coat – Helmut Lang (LOVE this – the perfect lightweight parka – discounted here – I’m in a medium)

Yesterday I was at home with a snotty 7 year old so lived in sweats all day! Monday was a red jacket day – or Butlins day as my hilarious husband suggested.

Jacket – J.Crew // Jeans – Zara // Boots – Toga Pulla // T-shirt – Madewell // Bag – PS1 (similar here)

And a similar outfit from Friday.

Sneakers – Golden Goose // Jeans – J.Crew // T-shirt – H&M // Jacket – J.Crew (on sale) // Sunglasses – Prada

Finally, on Saturday I went for a trip to H&M with Poppy – her favorite place to shop. I tried on this gold tone sequin top and loved it, left it behind, and then ordered it! The more I thought about it the more I liked the length of the sleeves – no wobble to show! I am in a large here.

Poppy came back with this jumpsuit – perfect for Thanksgiving day – ‘comfortable and glitzy’ as she says:) The navy is gorgeous – so different from the usual black – however the black one has already been requested for Christmas!

We all know I have an unhealthy obsession with boots – particularly ankle boots. This season I am smitten with all boots sparkly and patterned. It all began with these YSL boots in silver…

Or maybe the gold?

Or maybe the knee highs?

Or something totally go go girl:

Then I discovered these Valentino boots – how beautiful are these and so unique!

It doesn’t help that I have been following Tiffany Wendel for over a year now and her Giuseppe Zanotti sparkly boots are freakin’ fabulous!

So the search began for something more budget friendly and I was surprised by the choice available. Firstly these Boden Soho boots are gorgeous – I love the height of the heel!

A lot of sizes have recently come back in stock – plus there is 25% off with code 7Y2J

Zara also have a version that has a lovely profile.

If you don’t want to go all over glitter then how about these from Kate Spade? The bow detail is adorable.

Want something shiny but not glittery – then how about the Boden chic ankle boot in pewter – a fabulous neutral that can be worn all year.

Moving on to patterned boots – and for me you can’t beat leopard print. It’s a great neutral and I love it paired with all black. These Newbury boots are on my Xmas list – I’ve sent my Husband the link and size 🙂

The Sam Edelman Petty is a great boot – so comfortable and classic.

Ok so not patterned or glitter but I couldn’t help including this version of the Petty in Bone – just lush!

The Boden Soho boot also comes in leopard – again I love the fact that the heel is covered too. Don’t forget that code 7Y2J.

Fancy something other than leopard print – then how about the Boden chic ankle boot in zebra? – I love these.

For a knee high boot Boden have 3 fabulous choices with a heel to suit everyone. The pointed stretch boot is a whopping 30% off with the code 7Y2J.

The block heel boot is seriously classy and fits nicely with the 70s trend.

My personal favorite is the wedge boot.

Just in case you have been astoundingly good this year and have yet to submit your list to Santa, or if not – just drool over them – look at these leopard print Valentino Rockstud boots!

Here is my take today on the leopard print boots!

Boots – Sam Edelman Petty // Jeans – Zara coated jeans // Jumper – Uniqlo merino polo neck // Cape – Asos

Bizarrely I had leopard on my feet yesterday too!

Sneakers – Golden Goose slides (similar here) // Jeans – H&M (old) // Jumper – Boden Off duty // Gilet – JohnnyB (similar here)

What do you think about making your feet the star of the show?

Slowly moving back to the land of the living today. Which is good as it is Hugh’s 5th birthday tomorrow and he is VERY excited. So excited that last night he was trying to convince me it was Wednesday today. Given my jet lag I almost believed him.

Today I took my inspiration from a couple of my favorite US bloggers – Tiffany Wendel Personal Styling and Sheree from It’s Not That Deep. Both are Moms, and REALLY cool Moms at that. I love browsing their sites, and though I’m not sure I can get away with all their looks, they certainly provide great inspiration. Both of them have worn a black fur gilet over a denim jacket recently:) I’m also trying to wear all my warm, furry things before it warms up and they get packed away to the downstairs closet!

I started having some fun on our big rock in the garden – a rock I only venture near in the winter as I am sure it provides shelter for snakes in the summer!

Fur gilet – Skaist-Taylor for NM and Target // Denim jacket – Gap (old) // Red jeans – Zara (old) // Top – The Limited collection, Marks & Spencer (old) // Sneakers – Converse

Complete change of subject now, but I was on my drive into work this morning listening to NPR as usual. They reviewed a book, Wave, written by Sonali Deraniyagala. She survived the horrific Tsunami on Boxing Day 2004, but lost all her family to it. It was heart wrenching to listen to her story – but I really now want to read this book – here’s the NPR link.

A fresh look at some old clothes is sometimes all it takes to create a new vision for them. Thanks to Sue at SusieSoSo I have two new style crushes.

One of them is Sue. She always wears her clothes so effortlessly and can make anything look chic – she has inherent cool and seems to know exactly what suits her and how to make a pair of chinos or a $5 sweatshirt look fabulous. Check her blog out, if you haven’t already – you’ll see what I mean – oh and her sense of humor is pretty neat too. Anyway we have a few ‘style traits’ in common – our love of boots, sneakers and jeans to name three, so Sue sent me the link to another blog that she loves – Tiffany Wendel Personal Styling.

Take a look – I defy you not to love what you see. I have drooled over Tiffany’s photos over the past 3 days dissecting her closet and coveting her West Coast style. Her photos show an incredible collection of clothes – but it’s the way she combines them that makes me weak at the knees. Her photos of what she packs were just the inspiration I needed for my packing. The way she wears sneakers is just so (sorry I’m getting repetitive) cool! Gold sequin trousers with grungy sneakers – I love it! Now that red leather jacket is something else.

Before I start to sound stalkerish – here’s my point. I had a pair of boots and a jacket that didn’t sell on eBay. Taking some cues from Tiffany I suddenly realized that maybe, just maybe I could make them look current again. A pair of old, really old, white – heaven forbid – Nine West booties and a Loft suede bomber jacket, also really old. You know what? At least 5 people have commented on the boots today – positively. Who’d have guessed!? What do you think?

Jeans – Hudson boot cut // Booties – Nine West (old) // T-shirt – Zara (old) // Jacket – Loft (old) // Sunglasses – Ray-ban aviators //

After a haircut this morning I nipped into Zara to see if the new collection had arrived…slowly it is but there was still some sale stock in. On the off chance I had a quick look and there waiting for me was the most perfect looking black, velvet, sequined trousers for $20 – RESULT! A cute long sleeved t-shirt made it into the bag too:)

What’s in your closet that deserves a second chance?
