Hobbs

Oh I know, it's not even summer yet. However I just couldn't resist showing you a sneak peek at Hobbs Autumn Winter collection. The beautiful British brand goes from strength to strength with the seasons and 2014 is a great year for them. Classic tailoring with luxury detailing and Italian leathers meet simplicity and quirky cuts. The nudes on nudes cry out for layering and I can't wait to throw on the soft silk shirts, oversized car coats and long fur waistcoats. The accessories are true to the brand and made in their own Italian factories. The leather is butter soft and the styles are ladylike, only with chunky zips and in ponyskin with gold chain detailing. I am already drueling over the oxblood mini bag. This is a wonderful collection and true affordable luxury. In store A/W14.

Just how good is M&S this season? Since their AW13 press event I have been crazy excited about this truly British brand making a come back. This season they are the place to go for simple basics, cashmere knits and the season updates. I adore this mohair check boxy knit with leather look trim.  The best thing... It's machine washable for constant wear. I'm pairing mine with a Leather mini skirt and lace up ankle boots. Perfect.
