Distressed denim
 |
| FC coat Zara shirt Freedom earrings HM jeans Miu Miu shoes |
Brrrrrrr! I think last week was definitely the last you will see of a bare leg this winter. Today I'm wrapping up in my winter coat, my check shirt and wearing my distressed HM Jeans for a busy day of press days. Not everyone can wear distressed denim at work, but if you love a bit of a knee rip, faded denim and the distressed look, you can always wear at the week end and or dress up with a statement heel for a night out. Here are some more I love.

Behind the scenes on the J.Crew shoot
Back in August I once again had the terrific pleasure of working with WIT favourite J.Crew by joining forces to celebrate their imminent store opening in London this week. Together with fellow J.Crew fans Caroline Issa and Candice Lake, we chose our favourite AW items, and went for a very fashionable walk around our respective neighbourhoods. The photo shoot is featured in their current J.Crew magazine (you can find as a supplement in December's UK Vogue) and in a post to run on their blog.

It was such a fun day, I got to play with the ultimate dressing up box and realised just how excited I still get about fabulous clothes and accessories. Here's a scrapbook post with behind the scenes pics from our day in sunny Shoreditch: from hair and make up on my kitchen table, to Greta making friends with photographer Bryan Derballa and off takes on set.

WIT mama friday: Greta's nursery
I didn't know if I was having a boy or a girl, so to start with I kept Greta's nursery neutral with shades of white and beige. I bought a polka dot bed spread and matching curtains and started adding bits and pieces only after she was born, for the exception of a yellow Liberty print fabric curtain which would have not been appropriate for a boy however much I tired to convince myself and others! Here are some photos of her bedroom as it is today, one whole year after she landed in my arms.
 |
| A little overview when walking in through the door |
 |
| Greta especially loves her bunny but most soft toys anyway! |
 |
| I've been collecting cards of all sort with animals on them and then framing them as cool prints. She loves pointing at them!Especially at Walter the Whale |
 |
| These accessorize wings are such a sweet prop hanging above her bed |
 |
| Her wardrobe was always going to be my obsession. I keep it super tidy and had a liberty print curtain made to close it off. The fabric is called Claire-Aude and comes in lots of beautiful shades. |
 |
| I painted the baskets with Farrow and Ball colours and now use them to display and keep Greta's bedroom toys in |
 | ||
| I use the hooks above her toys to display my favourite outfits |
 |
| I love her pin board with all sorts of memories like our wrist bands from the hospitals and fabric swatches from when I was doing up her room |
 |
| This rocking sheep is a recent buy from Zulilly |
 |
| I use decorative paper to stick photos of us and the family around so she can point at us. We took this photo in Paris especially for her! |
 |
| This was an old chair from my house in Florence which I had upholstered in a coarse cotton stripe fabric from Designer Guild |
 |
| Classic Liberty print fabric is the them of Greta's room, I had this pillow made when she was born. |
 |
| This use to be her changing table, now I use it to display her little things like bows and photo frames |
 |
| The home made jams from her Christening, some of her favourite books and Vogue from September 2012 (the year she was born) |
 |
| I've been collecting sweet alice bands and hair accessories from ilovegorgeous.com for when she's older |
 |
| One of my favourite photos of the two of us with London in the background.. if we ever move from he UK I will show it to her and say: "this is the country you were born in" |
 |
| The seagull hanging from the ceiling was mine, Greta loves to look at it while I change her nappy! |
 |
| Changing station and the wall I painted on a sleepless night when she was one month! |
 |
| One of the most beautiful gifts she received: liberty print alphabet letters spelling her name |
 |
| I got the felt stars from Little Nest Box at Notonthehighstreet |
 |
| This was my gift to Greta when she was born from Modo Creative |
 |
| The cashmere blanket my grandmother had made for Greta's birth and the monogramming that my aunt hand made on it is a total heirloom |
 |
| The mushroom doorstop from Jools Oliver Mothercare collection is always coommented on! |
