Greetings from Buckinghamshire! My Grandma and I drove up in the pouring rain yesterday night and we are spending her birthday (today) and the next two weeks with my aunt. Then i leave them to spend Christmas in France. Oui! Je ne comprend pas... That's about as much French as i can handle, so wish me luck when i'm watching my niece's and nephew's in various pantomimes and helping out at the local craft fair. EEEEK! I'm also hoping that i'll have access to the internet over there, I should do, but if i start posting at weird and wonderful times you'll know why. :)
And in the spirit of going away and living out of a bag for a few months, i formally present you with my pick for this week's Fashion Forward...
I figure it's probably best to keep things simple and also to mix and match pieces else i'll end up with 50 bags full of clothes i may or may not wear. (Oh the joys of travelling.) My old favourite, flat pumps, are all i really need shoewise. One pair will see me through an entire lifetime of outfits! Flared jeans and a basic tee always look good dressed up with a blazer and some bangles or slouched up with a comfy cardi. Now i reeeeeeally want to go shopping.
Fashion Forward will be here next week and I can't wait! I've missed hosting :D Make the most of Clair while you've got her and see what everyone else has picked for this week's FF.

I want one of everything! What a cozy, stylish collection. Have fun living out of a bag! I'm a bit jealous, honestly. Please post lots of photos and stories of your French vay-cay, I know we'd all love to see them. And have happy and safe travels!
ReplyDeletethat sounds lovely. and yes, post photos please!
ReplyDeleteOne pair of shoes for months? You are amazing. Hope you have lots of fun on your adventure!
ReplyDeleteOh. I love absolutely everything about this outfit. I'm all for simplicity and I could live in jeans and blazers given the choice. I think if you take this little lot with you (and you might even fit all this in carry on - shock!) then you'll be the super stylish foreign babe. Nothing sexier x
ReplyDeleteseriously i have a pair of ballet pumps and that's it, apart from some flipflops that are falling apart. I like to get maximum wear out of my footwear!
ReplyDeletei promise to post lots of pictures of my french adventures :)
xoxo
Very Cute! Have fun in Fance (I'm green with envy) :)
ReplyDeleteLuvverly :-) I am currently wearing bootcut jeans, basic tee, slouchy cardy and the warmest socks I can find...
ReplyDeleteGreat set! I love all the items, very classic and nice looking.
ReplyDeleteI'm very much a boot cut jean and tee shirt girl. :)

That blazer is pretty much perfect! Hope you enjoy your holiday :)
ReplyDeleteSome really cute items to pack!! Love it! You will definitely want to go shopping, so under-packing is such a good idea!! I totally agree with you that a pair of black flats can get your through almost anything!!
