Zara

It is only right that I begin with an outfit from Zara. It is my favourite High Street shop. When I think about outfit ideas and looks I want to play around with I can often find them in Zara. It delights me with every visit as I always think to myself that Zara is primarily hard hitting with sharp, smart tailoring. In truth they provide so much more. Wardrobe fodder for the hippy, the sophisticated and the girl around town  It manages to churn out clothes of a high quality and surprises me with their prices which are among the most reasonable you can find. They don't drown their stores in the most extreme fashion forward items but instead draw from the catwalks and create their own unique pieces which all have an air of classic, timeless investment pieces. Today is an everyday shopping, lunching vibe.

On any fashion blog this season there will be some mention of shearling. It's all over the place right now, I thought I may as well nip it in the bud with this beauty. Keeping the Jacket relatively fitted because the rest of the outfit has a real slouchy look to it. Keep those sleeves rolled up! £39.99...Don't tell me Zara isn't fantastic value.

This sort of looks as though you've borrowed it from your boyfriend doesn't it? Get a couple sizes up from what you usually wear and work with it. I love all three colour options available I just don't like matchy matchy outfits and the other colours didn't quite do it for me with the rest of the look. £16.99 - buy all three!

I detest black belts, 'new looking' belts or brashy belts. An understated belt can often make an entire outfit. The best part is it's usually something other people can't quite put their finger on. At £25.99 I've just ordered mine.

Before I have to go into hiding for producing a boring brown and white outfit. Here's a deliciously deep red bag that would look good tossed over anybody's shoulder. Another fashion faux-pas in my eyes is a bag that's colour coordinated to the rest of your outfit or looks as though it's come in a set with your shoes. Don't do it! £49.99 and I'm in love.

These are my favourite item of the day at only £19.99

I usually shy away from animal print, however minus the bow which would be promptly ripped off for £49.99 these are a cute pair of shoes which you can wear all day and with everything. Animal ain't ever dying, I need to embrace it.
