I’m extremely excited to introduce the first of a little series of posts I’ve had in the pipelines for a while now… LPA Styles It. As you’ve probably noticed, La Petite Anglaise is first and formost a platform from which I wax lyrcial about the things I love. Sometimes the current object of my affection is a designer no one’s heard of, others it’s a handbag that costs as much as a car. But looking back through the LPA archives I noticed than there are two things I tend to obsess over in particular: what I’m wearing and where I’m shopping, or at least, where I wish I was shopping. So I decided why not combine them both and team up with a few of my favourite brands for a good, old dressing up session? Plus, I thought that in the process I might unearth a few sartorial gems that you – or I for that matter – haven’t seen before and therefore have yet to purchase. Our bank accounts might not thank us but I’m sure you’ll agree, there are more important things in life than being able to pay your phone bill.

First up, Jaeger London. While I didn’t plan on styling looks for specific occasions, I think I actually came up with one hell of a holiday wardrobe! Now all I have to do is start saving for flights…
