Geek Chic

I know some people may despise this trend, as black-rimmed glasses certainly don't suit everyone! But really - whats not to love? Girly florals, men's brogues and a dab of red lippy... my idea of heaven. Just wish that damn bank card of mine would agree!

Made For Me

Am I the only one who is weirdly amused when an inanimate object has the same name as me?! This Botkier 'Zoe' bag made me wonder whether I liked it more now that we shared the same name (umlauts aside - I'm Zoƫ, yeah?). As soon as I saw it, I thought it was a beautiful bag - but now we have this connection it's like I HAVE to buy it. I owe it to the bag! Do you think my bank manager would understand??

Key To My Heart

A really cool trend, that I think is going to be big next season, is hearts. Accessories like a perspex necklace, a leather bag, or a keyring can always add a bit of fun to any outfit. And unlike last season's star trend, which I think looked quite childish, hearts always look effortlessly cool.

Shady Goings On

Why is it that I can never find a pair of sunglasses that suit me?! I see pair after pair of amazing styles and colours, but not once have I ever liked them on me. The reason, I think, is that I have an unusually small head - a pin head you might say - and most glasses sit way off my face or stick out either side... not a good look! But even though I can't wear sunglasses, that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to look. These shades by Thierry Lasry are gorgeous and if you are one of those lucky people who can get away with quirky shapes then they're a must-have.

COS I Like It

When COS first opened, I was excited about the prospect of quality affordable clothing with a unique edge, and although I wasn't disappointed I think they played it a bit safe at the beginning. However, on a bit of a whim I went into their store on Regent Street (the only one unfortunately) and found a noticeable difference from my first visit. The shapes were still quite simple but there was a lot more emphasis on unusual detailing and the colour palette was a lot brighter - with emerald green, canary yellow and peachy pink providing a contrast with their usual grey tones. While I was there I bought a beautiful yellow top in a sheer fabric, which would be great on it's own or layered over another colour. Together with the high-waisted black jeans, it was a great little shopping trip and one that totally changed my opinion about the brand.
