Christmas Snapshot

So far this Christmas I have been....

Christmas shopping on Kings Road with sisters and friends..

Strolling through SW1 wearing what has to be my best items of this season..my Topshop faux fur coat and Aldo boots...

Visiting Winterville in the East End, with Little J and my little sister... found out we could still roller skate at the roller disco!

Christmas Eve sparkles in my H&M leggings...

Christmas morning excitement and chaos..the best moment of the year. My outfit...wearing my summer maxi under a jumper and fur coat with Aldo boots..

Wrapping up warm for Ice skating, carousel riding and hot chocolate at the park...

And finally Santa left a few things for me too!...

&Other Stories Sadie Williams Skirt
Zara Sweater
Cos Navy Fine Wool Jersey Top
Topshop Khaki Sweater  (I have worn this non-stop)
Asos Baby Kick Flares
Miller Harris La Pluie (One of my fave perfumes along with No.5)
Mac Lady Danger Lipstick
A swallow bracelet from a super special friend.

Next on the list what to wear for New Year and planning for my 40th Birthday party at the end of January...eek!!

Wishing you all a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas and a Wonderful New Year. Thank you so much for all your support in 2014..looking forward to what 2015 has in store...

My Made in Chelsea

Style Theory: My favourite little area of London, shops, cafés, bars, restaurants galore and never too busy. 

Sloane Square

Years ago I used to work in Chelsea and love popping back for a wander when I have a chance. When my sister came over for the weekend we decided to hit Chelsea rather than tackle Oxford Street as it is a little quieter.

First stop The Botanist for coffee and warm scones...much needed energy for shopping..

The Botanist

Then a stroll up Kings Road

A gorgeous food market in the Duke of York Square, then a meander along to have lunch siting outside  The Builders Arms

The Builders Arms

Then onto The Phene to meet up with old friends for drinks....heaven

The Phene Garden

My Style:

A last minute change of outfit as the day started off stormy so my dress and heeled sandals were replaced by my trusty breton and jeans..

Top: Petit Bateau

Jacket: Zara

Jeans: Gap similar here

Trainers: John Lewis Collection similar here

Bag: H&M

I bought: hoping to wear this to watch the tennis at Wimbledon in a couple of weeks (weather permitting) with my heeled tan sandals or Stan Smith trainers:

Cos Melange Jumper - now £29

Cos Skirt with Draped Pockets now £41

I tried on and loved....

Cos Sleeveless Dress £115

but unfortuately am lacking occasions when I can wear this!

It was lovely spending the day with my little sister, Mum and some lovely friends. Thank you Las Calles De Barcelona for all the images..xx

Where is your favourite place in London, do you know any hidden gems, cafes restaurants, bars..I need to be recommended more!

I would love to hear all your comments and ideas, thank you for reading, Frances xxx
