Donatella does Highstreet

Originally, my intention was to go to Oxford Street and hunt down the best designs by Versace that hit H&M stores last Thursday but unfortunately, I managed to wander up to Angel on Friday afternoon to find as little Versace as I would've had I gone into Sainsburys instead.

I can't say I looked very hard because as soon as I walked through the doors, the gorgeous party dresses for the new season were all around me with different materials ranging from net skirts to velvet in classy black and other jewel tones.

Keep a look out for the beige satin tulip dress, brocade shorts or go classic and chose from one of the many different LBDs on offer.

I decided on a pair of black ankle boots with a wide, wooden finish heel and two little gold buttons to finish them off. With them being both comfortable and the kind of style that will go with almost anything, they'll keep my wardrobe up to date for many seasons to follow.

Although you can't actually see the boots, I wore them here to watch Lee Evans back home in Wales.

Jacket, River Island £120
Handbag, River Island
Shorts, H&M £29.99
T-shirt, GAP £9.99 (sale)
Scarf, Zara £19.99 (not sure)


The scarf looks a bit pink but I left the cream one I was going to wear back home and it was too cold to go without !

Rokit Vintage Clothing

After my previous preeching to the Gods of supermarket style about Tesco's Florence and Fred, I am now writing nudge them down from their heroic pedistal as although their clothes are still perfectly suitable for their purpose (I have recently bought two tops for a total of £8) their shoes have let me down. I will admit that i was somewhat intoxicated so perhaps I didn't help the cause but Topshop has supported my drunken antics many a time and still continues to do so I have to admit, I'm slightly disapointed; I live in Wales, I need shoes that can take a little rain! I suppose it does prove though, that shoes really should be left to the likes of Manolo and Louboutin for a job perfectly done...

This week, I hope to slightly redeem myself with a store I discovered on the internet. I came across http://www.rokit.co.uk/ which is a vintage site based in London for both men and women and has some really stunning pieces.

Another great thing with the t-shirts and some of the jackets (blazers particularly) was that the mens and womens were basically unisex with some cool t-shirts from bands and other things and I managed to find top for £20 (shown right) in a size in the men's page which looks good over leggings or jeans and is just really compfy.

One of my favourite pieces was a pair of red leather shorts which were stunning and that would've been my ideal outfit with the top bought but they still await for someother lucky shopper.

The knitwear as mentioned above is also worth a look with some classic 70's and 80's designs and shapes but pieces that really would look great now as well.

With a really quick delivery and easy accessible site, its a perfect (test-driven) place for some one-off vintage pieces.
