When In Doubt, My Top Three… #itstheweekend

It’s London, it’s Fashion Week and I am in the mood to dress up.

When I don’t know what to wear I bring out my top three.


A tuxedo jacket, slim black pants and a great pair of heels.

Like a uniform, they take the stress out of being fashionable.


Yesterday I bought the black Dannie pants with the leather trim from J. Crew.

They are seriously fabulous.

Flattering, comfortable and super cute with their small embellishment of soft, buttery leather around the waist and pockets.

The back zip and slight give in the fabric makes the Dannie sit beautifully.

Run don’t walk for a pair.

My tuxedo is going over the pants.

I admit to a little secret, I’m a jacket junkie.

Especially when it comes to a tux… I like to think it’s a signature look.

The truth is, the tuxedo jacket is very kind to most bodies and can be worn everywhere.


Number three has to be the heels.

They will send me on my way with that extra bit of flair.

I like to dress simply when it comes to clothing… with accessories… I think we can push the limits.

Why not? Elegance and flair have always been a dynamic duo.


The rest is easy… a simple tee or blouse underneath and a dash of colour on the lips.

Or be brave and wear a bow tie.


My top three… They never let me down… xv
