[Craving] The Whistles Sale

Sometimes days just do not go your way, today is one of them.  Last night my boyfriend and I attempted to get to Spain for a long weekend, but between Easyjet's exceptional (read: horrendous) customer services and the French's decision to strike it just wasn't meant to be.  We managed to reschedule for next weekend, but the whole process took 6 hours and needless to say things got a little bit tense... Now it's extremely early and I can't get myself back to sleep... Today is going to be interesting.

Georgia Leopard Blouse was £125, now £75 / Brando Leather Jacket was £295, now £195 / Freya Cotton Khaki shirt, was £75 now £45 / Coated Cuff Top, was £65 now £45 / Glazed Floral Cotton Skirt, was £110 now £60 / Slammer Sandal, was £120 now £85 / / Victoria Print Scarf, was £45 now £25 / Lana Leather cuff, was £25 now £12 / Ella Lace Dress, was £195 now £95

As if they knew my plight, my favourite store Whistles went on sale today - the only thing that could possibly get me out of the foul/dangerous mood I was in (I apologise to anyone who saw me pre-coffee, I was a jerk).  Whistles and I have had a little thing going for a while now, ever since my dear friend Geneva and I used to wonder around their London stores and shop to our hearts' content (on that note, G is coming to stay with me next week and I AM SO EXCITED - it's been over 2 years since I last saw her and I literally cannot wait to see her little face).

Denim Jacquard Top, was £125 now £60 / Denim Jacquard Trousers, was £125 now £60 / Gimlet Loafer, was £125 now £75 / Animal Neon Jacquard Skirt, was £125 now £60 / Narcisse Lace Dress was £145, now £85 / Florette Lace Skirt, was £130 now £60 / Edie Stripe Breton Shirt, was £55 now £35 / Lula Jacket, was £175 now £80

Can't quite believe how bold their mark downs are - most are around 50%, and even on some of their seasonal best sellers.  I have the Slammer Sandals and they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned.  The denim jacquard top I'd beeTheir infamous leather jackets are on sale, I picked out the Brando but have a look at them all here... and their staples are all heavily reduced (Bretons, jeans, tees etc).  In a nutshell, it's an awesome sale - no beating around the bush, straight in with excellent discounting.  Above is my edit, but shop the whole sale here. Enjoy! 

[Trend] Breaking Out In A Sweat

Ever since I spotted a street style image for a feature on Vestiaire (here), I've been all over finding the perfect grey logo sweater.  Everyone seems to be wearing Brian Lichtenberg's Homies sweaters (like the one above), and names like Zoe Karssen have brilliant options. But, at the weekend I had a lovely brunch with Lucy and Dearne, and after 3 hours of catching up we wondered back through Notting Hill and past the Whistles store.  It was there I spotted the Feminin sweater, which for £65 is an absolute bargain compared to other choices.  

Feminin Sweat, Whistles £65 / Live Fast Sweat, Zoe Karseen £95 / Homies Sweat, Brian Lichtenberg £125 / 5 Preview @ Browns, £95 / 

I also love this Brian Lichtenberg sweater, which is a Celine style thing with Feline written on instead. Genius.  Almost as good as Urban Outfitters 'Celine, Dion' sweater here.  In a nutshell, I'm struggling to know which one to buy.  Now that the sun is out (totally confused my psyche, without complain about the grey weather I now feel I need grey clothes - go figure) there is less of a need, but lets face it in the UK a sweatshirt can be worn for four days of any given week.  Which one would you go for?

[Craving] ASOS Floral Coat

I'm most probably extremely behind the times here but I've fallen in love with an ASOS floral jacket that I feel has been following me for the last few months.  The fact it is now 50% means it is chasing me even faster now... First my friend at got it, and I knew it was good then.  Then Caroline Flack wore it out (which left me unsure, I don't always love her style)... But then one of my fashion heroines Rachel Wang from Nylon was spotted in it (above).  That sealed the deal for me... So I bought it.  It's quite lightweight and perfect for this sh1t grey weather... And for £40, you can't go wrong... Buy it here.
