I was hoping I wouldn't like any of these items. But no, it was one of those days when you grab random stuff, you try it on, you want it all, but you have no money. Thankfully payday isn't TOO far away. What items are on your wish list for purchasing at the end of the month?

I'd started going to Zara purely to say hello to former colleagues (I used to be a Visual Merchandiser there), but after a few dud seasons, Zara have pulled out all the stops. There is a trend full of furs and chunky knits in white and beige referencing Chanel AW10, but what really stood out was their English trend, full of heritage style cord, fur and quilted jackets, taking inspiration from everyone from Burberry to Chloe to Pringle. The perfect camel coat? The ideal fur-lined parka? Even my future wedding dress (see top photo), there is now many a Zara item on my Autumn/Winter wishlist. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for more...
Real fashion, real people. I've been meaning to start a blog for months, but felt like every corner was being covered, which really put me off. But I've decided to bite the bullet. I live fashion. I work for Whistles, a company who embody the way I want to dress. I'm a normal size 12 and I wanted to show how to wear things that usually just look great in a sample size. I'll take photos of clothes I try on, and give you inside tips on what to buy, when and where.
