GET THE LOOK - DIOR

Some may say I dress vanilla but I say I dress age appropriate and more importantly I buy what I like and what I know I'll be still in fashion in 5 years time .... clothing has now got extremely expensive and it's really true fashion victims or credit card millionaires that buy seasonal clothing instead of paying their rent (yes I went there)

Here's a great piece from Dior which I know has longevity....

Check it out HERE priced at £330 

GET THE LOOK - VALENTINO ......

Going back to my previous post about Dior and buying wise and items that will be with you for season after season...... this method of shopping has not failed me and even right now pieces from Gucci and Dior which are still relevant and the brands are actually releasing them again and for a lot more money than I paid for them .... I've taken a lot of pieces out of hiding and had them tailored and a few ok a lot do not fit me anymore as I was a 28 to 30 waist but now I'm a 31 to 32 waist so I've opened a Depop shop and if I'm honest I've mainly posted accessories like Dior saddle bags etc but I don't have the time to be really on it ....

Now this Valentino piece will be relevant in years to come because the way fashion is they will definitely archive it and reproduce it again in 10 to 20 years 

Jump on it!!!  If I'm honest the only thing I'm doing wrong is buying all black but I think otherwise....  this top can be dressed up and dressed down and is a must have piece even when I went to buy this it was hard and I actually didn't go into the store to buy this piece but realised when I was there this was the one to have 

Clothing has got so expensive and guys you have to shop wise

GET THE LOOK - GIVENCHY

Ok here's another get the look post for new season clothing but this isn't..... this is my third season with this top..... so my other get the look posts should now make sense to buying clothing that will last and take you through many seasons 

My only downfall is I have only been buying all black but that has to do with the fact I'm still mourning but as soon as I get some royalties checks I'm gonna buy some colours starting off with some white tops ......  I also noticed that I'm getting too casual what I like to call sports luxe but I still buy tailoring and have loads but just haven't posted 

Check out the must have Top HERE priced at £460 

TODAY'S SHOES ARE FROM CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

There are so many shoes from Christian Louboutin I have..... and there are so many shoes from Christian Louboutin I still want (greedy) ... I remember a few years ago I was invited to the Christian Louboutin book signing and the man himself had these shoes on and at the time I could not even afford to buy the book or even a coca cola ...... things have changed a bit and I am keeping to my word which was having a pair of red soles to wear everyday non stop for a month in a row and I'm there but not there but nearly there ..... and when I saw the man himself wearing these I promised myself I would one day own a pair of these ...... they are the Tasselissimo veau Velours .... at that time they were not on sale they were his shoes and now they are available and they are on my ever growing lust list


Check them out HERE


I've put the soles of the shoes first .... because you have to own a pair to know how to treat a pair ..... They need love and need to be looked after .... with a pair of these coveted red soles .... you dress from the shoes upwards and always check the weather report .....

MUST HAVE - VERSACE, VERSACE, VERSACE

It's Ver Sah Chay not Ver Sar Chee ...... a great must have piece the vintage logo T shirt priced at £290 and on my lust list ....... Versace are showing this T shirt for FW 18/19 but it was available in pastel colours for summer 2018 which if you bought is still current ..... But, but, but if you look around around on the net you can possibly find some in sale but maybe not in the latest colours which technically is just black, black with gold logo .....


shop around people I love Versace and I'm not about to ruin my relationship the brand to visitors rather than followers as I'm a blogger and I see influeners are still following in the masses which is why I'm still getting over 1m views a month .... but shop around ......

THIS WEEK'S MOST WANTED .......

I absolutely love this and with a lot of the collections now they are over styled for the runway and it's the young who would rather starve and not pay their rent or rich Japanese who buy the full looks .... but like most collections look at them, look at them again, look again and you just pick out pieces .... even if you don't want to pay rent for one month try and buy pieces you can wear over and over again that's what I always advise my personal shopping clients or pieces that have resale value as this is big business also ..... now I have lots of tanks in my wardrobe and when I saw this I went digging and found four tanks but not Gucci .... tanks never go out of fashion so for me I advise you that this is a piece that will be a classic and you can wear any season ..... its also priced really good in today's money at £290 .... I say that but I remember the good old days with Tom Ford for Gucci when you can pick up the top of the range trousers for £200 but salaries were in tune with these things but they are not now ......but if you want to splurge this is a good piece ..... I am not good with knit wear as I will wear it once and not wear it for maybe another 8 months and then the months would have had a party so be careful with it and contain it securely but this is a great piece ...



It's 100% wool with embroidered bees and stars ..... there's a lot of pretenders of brands copying the bees which Gucci did first ..... there was a brand last week who invited me to check out the new celebrity collection which was basically a poor man's verison of Gucci with Bees and stars but unlike a lot of influencers who went and are now plugging it and saying it's the best thing ever since Karl Lagerfeld ...... I chose not to attend as I like to wear the real thing but on social media I have noticed a lot of people wearing fake Gucci and they (Gucci) like their posts because they are young and know where to buy followers..... but core customers like me who buy the brand and have been for over 20 years and post the real deal just get ignored or in my case I got reported! .....


It's my money and I have a wardrobe budget for TV so I still buy into the brand because on TV the young impressionable will like it....

THIS WEEK'S MOST WANTED .......

Ok this is different because normally this week's most wanted goes on my lust list but these days when I post this week's most wanted I basically have bought it already.... is everyone rich? nowadays you have to go on wait lists or everything is sold out! lucky for me I have been a personal shopper for years and I'm exploring this avenue again so if you are having problem finding must have pieces contact me and I'm sure I can get them for you because that's what it's about now who you know .... although people and brands are trying to shut me down I still have my contacts ......so this week I love and I have already bought this black Fendi T shirt which is a must have and selling out as soon as they come in .... priced at £450 ......  (and everyone has flatmates and not owning their own property)



I love this Tee so much and I've worn it once already and I decided to go one size bigger so I can wear it as a oversized top which goes great with slacks (that's trousers for millenials)

THIS WEEK'S MOST WANTED ......

This week's most wanted is from Fendi and is this "T shirt" which I really need ..... I was in Milan recently and discovered the price and it was £450 and I can't get my head around it ..... when did clothes get so expensive and season after season they are getting more pricey ..... I need this and keep going back to the E site to look at it and I've already planned how I'm going to wear it but you know what it's the price of someone's mortgage and because of all the trolling I get and hate mail I am a bit more considerate that I am lucky privileged to an extent and showing off £800 shoes could possibly offend people but why pick on me I'm not the only one and plus I have worked hard for these things and to be able to buy them but that said and done this is why now I am very cautious and try to justify my purchases but I do need this!

ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD FOR TUMI LATITUDE AD CAMPAIGN

THIS WEEK'S MOST WANTED.......

Ok ... Hands up because this is a truth blog ..... this week's most wanted is a bit of a fraud .... this post acts as a lust list things I really want!  ok now why it's a fraud is because I have already bought it and because it's a must have so I have to wait 3 weeks for it £675 and you have to wait .... no worries .... I have so many clothes so I can wait ...  another reason why i'm a fraud with this is because I am always pushing, plugging and banging on about picking pieces from new collections that are classics and you can wear for a few seasons .... I do believe this is a seasonable piece but I'm going to wearing this and get my money's worth  a prove that stigma wrong ....



BTW I think if you are going to spend the £675/$900 on this piece go for the black one ...... #justsayin it also comes as a jumper and a sweatshirt according to the SA's in London......

TOM FORD SS 18 MEN'S

MY FAVOURITE MUST HAVE GUCCI SHOES FOR AW 17/18

Gucci is the one..... the one to be wearing .... I'm old school Gucci old being the word and with the new collections although they are 70s inspired they are the latest fashion and I was scared to buy them as I would not be able to carry of seasonal fashion .... I've been wearing Gucci for over 20 years I was there for Tom Ford and religiously bought Gucci..... I haven't bought anything apart from a bag in the last probably 3 years but this SS 17 I've jumped on the bandwagon again and totally enjoying the collections...


For shoes they are killing it ... if I'm honest not all of them but there's definitely some standout pieces ..... here's some of my favourites the Princeton are my ultimate favourites but everyone has them and now the high street has copied them and worst there are alot of fakes around ... that said and done I'm still trying to talk myself into buying a pair
