Office Ballet Pumps

Is it too late to embrace the studded ballet pump? I'm not sure but these are the best high street ballerinas i've seen. Office, £55

Peyton and Byrne

I have just been given the Peyton and Byrne cook book, British Baking. I love to bake and there are sooo many recipes in this book I want to try out... My waist line might not survive this one.

The book

Carrot Cake with Honey Cream Cheese Icing, exciting!

White Converse

Sometimes I find myself on a quest. Weather it's for the perfect black skirt (bought from Cos a couple of months ago) or a white t-shirt that I can wear with everything (Hanes beefy ts), occasionally the space in my wardrobe is apparent and i'll shop specifically to fill it.
One of these spaces has been clear to me for a really long time, years even. Many moons ago when I worked in Office, Converse came out with an all white high top, even the eyelets were white! Being young and stupid I dithered around and when the time to buy came, they were gone. Subsequently I bought a pair of ecru high tops with cartoons all over them, which have faired me well over the years but have never taken the place of a simple pair of 'blanc en blanc's'.
I've searched high and low for them and finally they have come out again (happy days) and proved why they have been the missing link in my wardrobe for so long.

See...

The shoes- No longer with white eyelets but they still fill the gap.

They don't stay white for long... I like to wear them with ankle socks by Falke in navy, beige or cream.

Topshop Trench Coat

I saw this coat yesterday and loved it. I like the inverted pleat at the back and three quarter length sleeves. I just wish it were real leather instead of synthetic, i'd pay more for that.
