What I wore today - Mango bad top and waxed trousers

It's Friiiiiday! Well done for getting through the week everyone, hope you have some fun plans for the weekend. It's been a pretty busy week again for me, especially at work, so i'm pleased it's the weekend so I can chill out and relax. I went for lunch today with an old friend which was lovely as always, i'm so full now though but can't help think of what i'll be having for dinner - i'm so greedy organised aren't I? Wearing a new top today from Mango, it's grey and it says bad on it so i knew immediately i was going to have it. I love these trousers so much, they're mega versatile and got them for a snip at a tenner reduced from £45.99 in the sale - i've worn them lots and am considering a pair in red or burgundy... I also bought a new coat from Mango yesterday, it's oversized, tweed like fabric and boyfriend style and i adore it - for those of you who can't wait to see it you can find it right here, it's a proper bargain and looks fab so if you're thinking of buying one i'd snap it up before they sell out! Have a great Friday people - and don't forget to follow me on TWITTER @heidi_likes !!

What I wore today - Mango jumper and outdoor pictures

Hello, hope you've had a good Wednesday! I got to wear my new Mango jumper today, hooray - I couldn't decide between the blue and cream or the red and cream, Kate Moss models this for the brand and looks simply beautiful (as always), but I went for the red as its not a colour I'd usually go for - I'm trying to buy a few 'different' things at the moment, my wardrobe is mega smart when it comes to autumn/winter featuring a tonne of grey, black, white and neutrals...saying that I bought a grey tweedy style coat today, it was too nice to resist!
I've had to start taking some pictures outside as the nights ate getting darker each day, and the light is pretty shoddy in my dressing room. To be honest I much prefer taking them inside with a white background, do they look ok outside? I'm not convinced...
I didn't realise how matchy this look was until I looked at the pictures, what with the blue nails, red jumper and shoes too. I'm off to make some Thai food, enjoy your evening.

The Monday Piece - Kate Moss

Today's Monday Piece is on English model and worldwide fashion icon Kate Moss.
Kate Moss is a worldwide fashion model who has fronted campaigns for fashion houses such as Burberry, Chanel, Calvin Klein as well as beauty campaigns for Dior and Rimmel London. Kate was 'discovered' by the founder of Storm model management at the age of 14 in 1988 whilst at JFK airport after a holiday with her family. She was then photographed by various high profile photographers and became hugely popular - she then fronted a campaign for Calvin Klein which was the start of her successful modelling career.
Compared to the more voluptuous models of the 1990's, such as Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer, Kate was known for her waif like figure and was notably shorter as well as slimmer than other models. Although this sparked outrage amongst some, the waif model figure was then widespread. As a result since the 90's Kate has fronted campaigns for every major fashion house out there. At the age of 38 she is still modelling and has recently designed her own clothing sell out collections for major high street chain Topshop and a handbag collection for Longchamp. She also has her own fragrance range.

Her own personal style is described as boho chic and grunge, she is often spotted wearing tight leather trousers and simple tees paired with fierce boots and her favourite Balenciaga city bag! Due to her great style she has topped many best dressed lists and modelled on the cover of prestigious fashion magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair worldwide.
Personally I love Kate Moss' style, she always looks rocky and cool and always effortlessly glam.

She is currently fronting a campaign for high street store Mango, as you can see on the first picture she looks amazing in the neon striped jumper dress.
Do you like Kate's style?
What do you think of her modelling talent?

What I wore today - Friday!

Happy Friday to everyone! Hope you all have some great plans for the weekend - I have a burning question that needs to be answered ASAP; when is the Zara sale starting?! Every time I go on to the website it says SALE, so I click the button but the page is empty :( Anyway, today's outfit - what do you think of the shoes? Are they a bit OTT for the day? I got this new blazer from the men's section in Zara, I like how it's slightly oversized and boyfriend style (size small) as some other blazers sometimes look a little TOO smart if you get what I mean? I was also quite pleased with myself as I wore these H&M trousers today which are usually super tight round my waist and bum, but today they slipped right on! I've had a week off work so haven't been snacking/munching on biscuits as much and I'm liking the benefits :) I'm hoping to go to Birmingham at some point over the weekend, and over the next few weeks I want to visit Bicester Village - a huge discount designer shopping village, has anyone had a good bargain from there recently?

Any shopping plans for the weekend? Can't wait to see what you buy ;) XX
