Style Trunk

This week I'm lusting after this oversized coat by Daniela Gregis. Now that our heatwave is waning and the A/W collections are coming into the shops I'm starting to think what pieces I'm going to go for next season. Unfortunately, at over £1700 I won't be able to invest in this baby, but hey that's what lust of the week is all about. 

I do, however, have my eye on bank-balance-friendly oversized coats and I think that's the kind of outerwear I'm going to be sporting in the colder months. I love the masculine silhouette that they give and their minimalist coolness (like this navy and white one I have from Zara)

Hat: Topshop

Cardi: Michael Kors

Tee: eBay

Skirt: Asos

Boots: Kurt Geiger

Last week Adam and I went to Ikea to pick up a few bits for our new flat (it's finally coming together, yaay) and in true blogger style, forgot about the flatpacks for a few minutes, picked up the camera and took some outfit shots.

The first cloudy day in London gave me the opportunity to don my new Topshop fedora and Michael Kors cardi I got in the Outnet sale. It was such a bargain and I love the colour, softness and drape of it.

I love cooking and baking, and growing up I was forever making cakes and experimenting with dishes. But living in London with fantastic restaurants, delis and shops on my doorstep means I don't do as much as I used to. Last week I decided to rectify this and unleash my inner domestic goddess, make some cupcakes and this was the result. The recipe is taken from the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook and they turned out light, fluffy and full of deliciousness.

Dress: Zara

Necklace: Spitalfields Market

Wedges: Asos

Outfit post for you today lovelies! I got this Zara dress at Christmas but haven't featured it on the blog until now. It fits so snugly and I love the deep green colour; teamed with strappy heels and a statement necklace and it made a great outfit for a dinner date.

My lust of the week this week is this full wool-crepe skirt from Roksanda Illincic. The colour, soft pleats and length make it the picture of femininity and I can tell it would be so fun to twirl around in! But at £775 I think this will remain a lust, rather than a purchase...
