"I was all in gold sequins for Million Dollar Mermaid, 50 feet in the air." ~ Esther Williams.

Isabella Oliver Relaxed Sequin Jacket - Supré Cowl Neck Jersey Top - Bonds Singlet Top - ASOS Boyfriend Belt - Therapy Shoes Tower Pumps

You may remember that I collaged this spectacular blazer a while ago, and I really must divulge that it is a dozen times more incredible, pizazzed and versatile in person. The slightly padded shoulders and sharp corners lend themselves very well to the cowl neck on this jersey tee, too. I've never thought about grey and gold together, but these gold sequins are (at risk of sounding pretentious) more white-gold than yellow, and they grey certainly picks up on that.

Interestingly, my new favourite trackpants (I know... I never thought I'd say that) are unlabeled. I found them while shopping with Mother, who had insisted on stopping in at one of those stores that don't really have a genre, with a strangely massive range of products (I found these under a packet of clothes pegs). I bought them purely for the fantastic burgundy, fully intending to turn them into some bizarrely seamed maxi skirt, but having worn them like this, I don't particularly want to.  Thoughts?

I could wear sequins daily. They make the day go faster - I promise.

Tomorrow morning, I'm off for a little trip away with a group of wonderful Law friends of mine. I umm-ed and aah-ed and have decided that I do need to take my laptop with me (far too much to be done!) so I'll still be posting. A camera cord has also gone in the bag, so expect (sort of) live updates!

I'll also be announcing the Style Yourself giveaway winner very soon!

I vote keep the trackies. awesome. Have fun while you're away, you deserve it. x

oh that sequined jacket is beyond gorgeous! & looks perfect paired with those wine coloured trackies. i really think i need to buy those tower pumps - just wondering if they run true to size? i cant decide whether to go for a 7 or 8?i have a pair of their boots in a size eight which are perfect cos they're a bit big which means i can wear socks with them, but i dont exactly want heels that i cant wear socks with to be big! haha help :D x
