my favourite places

Where do you shop in Manchester?

My favourite place has to be Flannels, the new space in Spinningfields is bright and spacious. The store also incorporates a section of Joseph. The staff for me are great Zoe & Kirsty from Flannels and Vanessa in Joseph.
The designers range from the cool Scandinavian Acne and Malene Birger to the luxury brands of Missoni, Lanvin, Prada etc.

Yesterday I fell in love with a short sleeved Missoni jacket, it will look amazing with jeans and a white vest on warmer days.

Holiday must have......

I will be buying this little gem and saving it for the annual trip to Peru.An absolute bargain at £32

more on the chanel bag

Went to Chanel in Selfridges to have a look for "the bag" and found another object of desire. I dont think I will be sleeping tonight, I will be working on a way to buy at least one of them. Watch this space for updates.

My wishlist

Chanel, need i say more..........

Something very pretty.........

Another beautiful object by Lanvin spotted in Flannels, Manchester.

I am loving............

I am having a love affair with cool parisian labels Maje, Sandro and Iro. Maybe because I love Paris or maybe the clothes and the prices are cool.
The Maje boots are so versatile and with brown legs the outfit possibilities are endless, I can already picture them with my Sandro cape or Iro jumper.

Selridges online have good selection of these labels for those of us outside London.

Dear diary 18th March

Today all thoughts were on sunshine and brown limbs, clothes look so better with a tan. Note to self, buy some St Tropez.
I settled on Topshop 7/8th skinny jeans with fuschia Acne t-shirt and my new Maje tan suede ankle boots.

Do I save or spend?

After first seeing the Isabel Marant blue court shoes awhile ago I decided I needed to channel a little of the left bank chic. I also knew that blue courts probably had a very limited life in my wardrobe so set about looking for alternatives. I found two, one from Carvela and the other topshop (pictured)

Had to buy

After a few days of "thinking" today I hit Selfridges website and finally bought the Marc by Marc Jacobs Jane on Chain bag in Camel.Just the right size to wear across the body and in the right colour to team with all other items. It also has a hidden secret, there is no need to carry a purse as it has an inbuilt card holder. Genius at £220.

Dear Diary 17th March

I was in need of a little prettiness today even though it had to be matched with the old faithful staple of black opaques. Topped with a black jacket (yes it was the Acne black linen one) the Matthew Williamson shift worked well.

Dont you just love.....

How cute is this jacket, its from Sandro and surely a summer hit

How much do you love

Have you seen these vertinguous Lanvin wedges, they are beautiful and challenging all at the same time

I saw these shoes in Flannels Manchester and may return for them..............
