Summer Essentials: Cochinechine

CoChineChine is a luxury boutique that after nine years selling beautiful designer clothes in Hampstead recently launched their very own website. Stocking everything great from Kenzo to COMME DES GARÇONS, CoChineChine have a striking brand image to rival the likes of net-a-porter and my-wardrobe.com. Don't be put off by the prices, even if something remains on your wish list for a couple of months it will feel like an achievement when you do finally get to show it off. I have always been a huge fan of fast fashion and spending my money when I have it but I think it is always worth spending that bit more on your clothes. Even if you have to save hard it is worth it to get those quality and timeless pieces we all deserve. Here are my 'Summer Essentials' from CoChineChine. If you are in North London then pop in store, you will be welcomed with open arms.

Valentine's Day Picks- His 'n' hers

There's not much time left until Valentines Day and if you are struggling to find the perfect gift for you other half, take a look at my gifts for him and her. I have taken my favourite picks from Mr Porter for him, and net-a -porter for her. A big sorry to my boyfriend if he is reading this and now expecting some huge gift for Valentines Day (haha). We are stepping into spring so insert a bit of colour into your wardrobe with a neon knit from Kenzo for her or a graphic tee from Katie Eary for him. If like me you cannot afford to do your shopping for Valentines Day from Net-a-porter or Mrporter remember it is the thought that counts. I will be doing a high street post for Valentines Day soon!

White is making a huge comeback this season with an all white look being a huge trend for 2013. As you would expect this is echoed in many fashion editorials and  I wanted to share with you some of my favourite. I chose Blanco as the name of this post simply because Spain has fully embraced the all white trend(White=Blanco in Spanish). In the above editorials the all white look has been beautifully styled and looks easy to pull off but I'm not sure how easily this will translate onto the streets. Possibly it is more of an spring/summer trend after we have all been off on our holidays. Take a look below at my pick of the best white pieces on the high street right now.

1. Cotton Shirt Dress. J.W Anderson for Topshop

2. White Acne Waffled Knit Jumper

3. All White The Satchel Company. *Exclusive to ASOS* 

4. Faux Pearl collar by KARL at Net-a-porter

5. Skinny white belt at ASOS

6. Smart taloired white trousers-River Island

7. White Midi Dress-Aqua by Aqua *SALE*

8. Arable cut out boots in white-Topshop

Emerald green: The colour of 2013

Earlier in the week Pantone announced Emerald as the official colour of the year for 2013. Being irish I have always loved green as a colour but I must admit I don't own a single piece of emerald green clothing. However it is the colour of the new year so I thought I would embrace it and show you a selection of green clothes and accessories. If you think that Emerald isn't really the colour for you why not just stick to accessories? I love the iphone case by Marc Jacobs and the Comme des Garcon iPad case (I just need to get my iPad first).
