Come shop with me: Bonfire night spesh

November 5, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

The hour is near, the outfit is chosen, the rain is bucketing down. Typical. In celebration of my big (moist) night out, here are some last minute tips for bonfire night that are hotter than a flaming Guy atop a burning pyre.First off, since yesterday’s post, a few lovely readers (and one fellow mum on …

Shiny skirts

November 3, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

Sticking with the outdoors theme (am still no closer to deciding what I’m wearing on Friday and the forecast is for rain – noooooooooo!) the best thing to do if you’re trying to look glam in a winter garden/field/park situation is to opt for a blatantly blinging skirt that will dazzle all onlookers and take …

Orgasm moment

November 2, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Can we all just take a moment to get cheapies (that’s cheap thrills for those of you who didn’t grow up in Yorkshire) over this splendiferous Joy blouse. I stroked it reverentially in-store today, but didn’t have time to try on (would you believe I actually have to curtail my window shopping to work?). But …

Bonfires and bangers

November 1, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

I’m off to a gig on bonfire night – not just any gig. My old man’s in a band, so occasionally (babysitting permitting – I know, rock ‘n roll!) I get to play the part of lead singer’s girlfriend and wear something even more outrageous than usual. You’ve seen the clothes I like, so let …

Spooktastic

October 29, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Much as I love dressing up, I’m sticking to ‘style’ for Halloween (and adding a massive purple witch’s hat – with veil). With said millinery, I shall be wearing something black and fashion-tastic. If you fancy following in my footsteps, may I recommend… The figure-flattering Moroi dress by All Saints at ASOS: The v gorgeously …

The new length

October 28, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Minis are out. Over the knees are in. That’s what Vogue told me. Not sure I’m entirely taking it on board, though. I could live with the mid-length pencil skirt (Beyonce’s ample bummage made the concept acceptable for millions), but today’s new length involves an A-line *shudder* I just love a short length (!) I …

Oliver Bonas dresses

October 17, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

Spotted two gorgeous dresses in the window of Oliver Bonas today. This Sharin denim dress by Vero Moda would look brilliant with patterned tights or knee high socks: And this eye-catching vintage floral design dress by Emily and Fin (wear with a belt for maximum waist and hip flattering impact) is perfect pre-Christmas lunch material:

Keira’s stylee

October 15, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Did anyone not love the beaded Chanel dress Keira Knightley wore to the Never Let Me Go premiere? “Hot” doesn’t do it justice. I certainly can’t splash out on Chanel this month (or any month soon), but riding on the beady/nuddy vibe, I’m tipping this Metal Mindy creation from FC:UK: And this more subtle and …

Good day, good dress

October 14, 2010Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments
