I have been gravitating towards grab bags for the last few months and recently purchased the Manu Atelier Le Cambon 25 in black suede. The size is perfect for every day and I love that it doubles up as an evening bag. Next on my list? The Verafied Eclair bag in white.
I will always prioritise items that make me feel good over practical buys. But who said a pair of zebra over-the-knee boots weren't practical?! In terms of warmth they will most definitely to the trick under skirts and dresses. Ps. the key to styling this length of boot is to always have your hemline a good few inches longer than the top of the boot.

Turn up jeans are all the rage at the moment, and I'm in love with these pairs of jeans from White Stuff featuring a thick turn up hem, and incredibly soft denim. The length and width of the jeans mean they would look incredible when paired with a high stiletto heel, and versatile enough to be paired with a pair of high top trainers. It's also available up to a size 24!
This buttery soft leather jacket is ideal for all seasons, with the jacket length being incredibly flattering and versatile with a ride range of different pieces. I love the business/casual structure of the silhouette, and would pair this with a pair of barrel leg jeans, black flat shoes and an oversized bowler bag.

I've really taken my 'pop of pink' story to heart and have fallen in love with these ribbed tights. Aren't they gorgeous?!
