I’m currently working on my blog on a Saturday morning and trying to keep the channels off the news. It’s not that I’m not interested in the painful Paris attack, far from it, I just can’t cope with all the pain and atrocities that seem to be happening all too frequent recently. Even the whiny-voiced characters on the Simpsons is more soothing. What is typically a French inspired outfit I wore the other day, it’s hard not to address and touch slightly on the delicate matter of those who lost their lives in such a horrendous way on Saturday night. I guess I feel like writing about style or fashion is my way of sheltering myself from this awful world we live in. But I know deep in my heart, I’m thinking of you. I’m thinking of you all.

It was my husband’s final race of the season and we spent the weekend at Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire. It was a hoot as always, plus the spectators café was the best one we’ve been to so far. James assures me he loved the track and it was easy to see why with all the twists and turns, along with hills and dips galore. As a (long-suffering) race widow I need to make sure that at all times I’m wearing the cosiest attired – especially for the Winter meets. The ever old-faithful ASOS helped out because I’ve been dying for some bright white sneakers for some time. I love sharing these super casual, weekend wear looks on my blog too because they are so easy to achieve!
I love Lamberts Yard, Leeds. It has this cool, urban, city chic feel to it. With it’s exposed red brick work, high ceilings and steel lighting fixtures it’s hard not to feel like you are in a super cool place in Brooklyn, NYC. The thing with Lamberts yard is that it houses a multitude of functions, those being a café downstairs, an exhibition space and it’s also home to some emerging, up and coming fashion lines too. I was invited, along with some of my fellow bloggers, to come and see their AW15 showcase of the new collections at their launch event #ThePowderRoom.

Yes, I’ve been living under a rock for the last year. I’ve never picked up on the double denim craze, but when I saw that ASOS had this lovely denim shirt in the sale it was pretty hard to resist. I never really thought it would work on a more curvier girl like myself, and whilst I’ll not look like the models on the runway or in the Levis campaigns I thought I dug it pretty well. You see, it falls back in to that 70’s style category that I seem to love so much. My wardrobe is 95% filled with suede, cord and those brown/red colours at the moment. I just don’t seem to be able to move from the style & it’s proven that it’s to stay a while longer with this gracing every high street shop for the last year or so.
