Movember

In two days time it is November and you know what that means ladies...gentlemen near and far will be sporting the traditional facial accessory - the moustache. In case you're confused by this influx (and you have been hibernating the previous few winters) it is due to the infamous charity fundraising event "Movember". 

My man has decided this year he is getting in the moustache spirit. Men seem to relish in the comaraderie of it all and of course in the ultimate manly challenge of growing a nice full one! This particular achievement shouldn't be too tricky for my mr as he has quite the stock of hair to start him off.



So as this time looms my thoughts are lingering on how much i'll like, or dislike this new look. Of course a lot of this will depend on which style he opts for...


But if he looks anything like this little lot I'm thinking i'll be pretty happy





Even if I end up with something more like this I think i'll cope. Hello Mr Selleck :) 





Yep I think i'm going to be pro tash.

Stylish Kooples

I have seen this brand advertised more and more and have finally come across the clothing itself in the Selfridges concession, and I'm somewhat in love.

The Kooples is a franco-british brand bringing "chic back to the street". Primarily it does so with the use of some utterly gorgeous Kooples couples. They ooze said chicness and of course that overall we-are-pretty-awesome-dont-you-just-want-to-be-us style. And yes, yes I do. Luckily for me my man is keen too :)





J'adore The Kooples.

Festive Fever

I've been away for too long - no good excuse i'm afraid - and it's now that time of year again. Yup festive fever has hit already, and I for one am not saddened one bit by its eager arrival. Not sure how we got here so quickly but there's no doubting it, Christmas 2011 has landed.

My excitement has been fuelled by some recent shopping trips, stocking up on winter warmers whilst even eyeing up prezie options (unusual for me this early). I have learnt to be quite a restrained shopper in my time, adoring from afar but not indulging myself too much. "just the one winter coat will suffice" and other such wise words have however gone out of the window this season as I persist to want everything I can get my little paws on. My love for all things fashion is spiralling and reigniting addictive shopping sprees. OOPS!

All the more for me to share with you though, watch this space. For now, here are my faves from the Topshop Christmas 2011 Collection. Indulge your eyes. x
