Smarten up

I am about to embark on a new and very exciting project

I am beyond excited at the opportunity 

A side affect is that I will have to smarten up my wardrobe

I have been looking for inspiration

First stop J Crew

a bit bland but a really good basic, 

could be brightened with statement jewelry

or a more colourful or patterned blouse, 

perhaps this one

Love these pants and the teeny polka dot shirt

I already own this blazer in blue 

and it is one of my favourites 

may have to add the red in wool for Winter

I also checked out BODEN

I have always been a fan of their kids stuff

but this season they seem to be shaking off the 

yummy mummy persona for something a little bit edgier, I like it

The cords are a little casual but I like the colours and the jacket is a great cut

These pants also look like a great cut may have to get a few different colours

This Jacket and this skirt are both currently on sale over at 

Margaret Howell

Love the simplicity of this outfit from COS

Also the essence of simplicity 

-this look from

Net-A-Porter

magazine

 and while we are at Net-a-porter

why not pick up this Johnathan Saunders jacket

LOVE  IT

So wish me luck 

and I will let you all know the details as soon as I can
