Santa must have made a mistake this year … but lets not dwell on that! I was fortunately an extremely lucky lady this year and received a fabulous leopard print handbag. – kudos to the man in the big red suit!  I have been salivating over this print for months and cant wait to get the use out of it! So this got me thinking – to the somewhat inevitable question, what to wear with it! The weather is freezing, paths are icy and a red nose is a regular addition to any outfit. So despite my love for this seasons heels and dresses, this month anyway, we have to be practical!

This gorgeous trench is unfortunately not in the sales BUT I just had to include it. Form fitting and following the major monochrome trend for AW , you cant go wrong with this investment piece.

Unfortunately this beauty isn’t in the sale but I’ve included it as it is a fab staple. Figure enhancing and following the AW14 monochrome trend you cant go wrong. £160 French Connection.
