Want it on Wednesday: Crushed Velvet Trousers + Elasticated, IBS-Friendly Waist

I have several problems with trousers. I can’t ever find a pair that fit my waist, hips and short legs. Nor can I find any that are roomy enough to allow for a little extra stretch when my IBS bloat requires. I basically need to live in elasticated waists. Enter today’s Want it on Wednesday.

Want it on Wednesday: This 1970’s Striped Mohair Knit

Since I purchased the perfect cropped black jumper, just before the weather took a chillier turn, I’ve been keeping an eye out for knits that can be layered over shirts, tucked into midi skirts and thrown on over dresses.

Want it on Wednesday: A Little Slice of Robert Plant

I am obsessed with many things in life, my bunny, glitter, fugly shoes, cake, talking about IBS and Led Zepp. I was brought up on a mix of classic club bangers and George Michael courtesy of my mum, and Led Zepp, Simple Minds and U2 due to my dad. While I still love all genres listed above, it was always Led Zepp that captured my heart.

Want it on Wednesday: The Zara Jewel Bag to Channel My Inner Capricorn

I’m a Christmas baby, being born right smack-bang in the middle of Christmas and New Year, meaning I’m a Capricorn. And I pretty much tick off every attribute given to my zodiac sign.

Want it on Wednesday: New Arm Candy Courtesy of John + Pearl

My mum and I nipped into Selfridges over the weekend for a spot of wedding shoe shopping –  more to come on that later – and upon leaving noticed a John and Pearl pop-up shop. Tempted by rose gold and concrete furnishings, we delved inside.

Want it on Wednesday: The Star Print Bag of MY DREAMS

I’ve been obsessed with stars ever since my grandad passed away 16 years ago. Once he’d gone, my mum and I would say to each other that he would always be there, looking down on us, as the brightest star in the sky. And from that day on, I’ve been drawn to absolutely anything with a cute star print.

Want it on Wednesday: A Giant Blanket Scarf

I’m cold. I’m typing this post as I get shipped off and on delayed trains, trying to make my way to the end of the line. I’m wearing my Burberry trench and my purple animal print scarf which I’ve had forever but I think it’s time for an upgrade.

Want it on Wednesday: The Gucci Shoes I’d Go Broke for
