Valentines Wish List 2013

Two weeks to go until Valentines Day and shops, restaurants and bars everywhere are no doubt eagerly awaiting, or already enjoying, the clink of their tills growing ever fuller. This makes me sound like I’m one of those ultra cynical types who refuse to partake in any sort of V Day celebrations on the grounds that it’s a purely commercial holiday which I’m really not. I’m not an idiot, I’m fully aware that February 14th is a perfect excuse for retailers and restauranteurs to cash in on those of us with more romantic natures. But, my fashion loving friends, it’s also an excuse to demand an extravagant and entirely undeserved present from that special someone or, just buy one for yourself! Here are a few of my valentines wishes this year, let’s hope the bf’s feeling generous…

Look Du Jour: Cosy Casual

cosy casual

coasy casual

cosy casual

What: Fur Hat: Maje, Coat: Whistles, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Jeans: Acne, Gloves: Dents, Boots: Dune (gifted)

Where: Meetings, errands and a trip to the library (boo).

I know this is the second time in 24 hours that this particular ultra cosy hat has featured but I’m just completely and utterly obsessed with it! Strictly speaking it wasn’t nearly chilly enough this week to warrent quite such hardcore head wear and I may have got a little bit sweaty prancing around London but I’d be damned if I was going to put it in my handbag and risk making the fur go all frizzy. I’m off to New York Fashion Week again in Feburary (yay!) and am horribly aware it’s going to be FREEZING so when I spotted this bad boy in Maje it went straight to the top of my Christmas list. Excessively large fur hat aside, I have no idea how I’m going to avoid getting hypothermia without completely sacrificing all semblance of style. If anyone has any tips for managing it (brandy? candy? both?) please do share them with me!

Look Du Jour: Skater Girl

What: Skater skirt: Topshop, Christmas Jumper & Embellished Blouse: Zara, Hat: Vintage, Loafers: Russel & Bromley, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Where: SKATE Launch Party, Somerset House.

Apologies for the slightly misleading post title. As you’ve probably gathered, I haven’t actually been reliving my tragic teenage Avril Levigne faze (yes I had one) this week but given that I donned this little ensemble for the SKATE launch party at Somerset House I couldn’t resist! There are few things in life I enjoy more than ice skating at Somerset House and every year I go at least ten times, despite the fact they’re yet to issue season tickets or start operating a (much needed) loyalty card system. Add mulled wine, music and famous faces galore into the mix and you’ve got a recipe for success… Or possibly a broken leg.

Love Ella. X
