NET-A-PORTER PART 1

Still HUGELY excited about this - grinning all day like a loon! Placed this order today with my lovely personal shopper Seun...

However, I'm currently on the waiting list for these:

 Burberry quilted leather jacket. I cannot describe how badly my soul needs this. It wasn't sold out in a 10 yesterday but it is today. Almost howled "nooooooooooooooo!" at the top of my lungs today in a busy newsroom. Had to heavy reign in the despair. Seun assures me it is expected back in shortly though...

 Burberry shearling-lined boots. Decided on these over the Miu Miu ones cos of the kick-ass zip detail. Nom.

 Alexander Wang Rocco bag. I know I already ordered the Alexa which I've wanted for ages, but I see it as more casual. This is a bit more special methinks, but I'm less hopeful about it coming back into stock soon :(

OK, so what do you think so far? The Rocco bag is a maybe depending on availability and if I get all three that pretty much uses up most of my budget and I still haven't got any jewellery yet! But I'm trying not to stress too much over my choices and just go with what feels right, since I've got nothing to loose. Can't help but notice I'm a little leather-heavy though... I am also seriously considering adding these Alice by Temperly high-waisted leather shorts to the haul - I have a pair of vintage ones but they're becoming baggy at the waist and I love the belt detail to clinch these in.

 Ahhhh!!! Thoughts?

Cannot stop smiling :D

FOR THE WIN!

OH MY GOODNESS BLOGGIES!! I have amazing news! Last week I bought Grazia magazine like I do most weeks and noticed a competition to win £5000 to spend on a new wardrobe at Net a Porter.com. I entered it as ususal (sucker for competitions like you wouldn't believe) and you'll never guess what.......


I ONLY WENT AND BLOOMIN' WON!

I know, RIGHT!? OK, so here's what happened.

I was working at The Herald today for work experience and when I finished I discovered I had a voicemail from a very cheery sounding Jo from Grazia magazine telling me I'd won the competition and to call her back ASAP! So, obviously when I'd calmed down CONSIDERABLY, I did just that and she confirmed it was true - I was going to get to choose a new wardrobe from the designer site to the value of 5 grand!

I'm expecting a call from someone from Net a Porter this week to let me know how it's all going to go down, but in the meantime I can't help but start to plan my picks...

These are a few of my favs...

 

Burberry tweed cocoon coat

ACNE sculpted boots

Burberry quilted leather jacket



Marc Jacobs cardigan



Vivienne Westwood Anglomania coat

 Alexander Wang Rocco leather bag

Alexander McQueen double wrap bracelet

Proenza Schouler long sleeved sequin top (picturing this with leather shorts and the ACNE boots... drool!)



Vivienne Westwood Anglomania dress

Miu Miu suede biker boots - cos every girl needs a good pair of bikers.

AHHHH! I can't actually get over this at all, honestly! It's like my dream, I'm so grateful! I picked these really quickly tonight but I'll have a wee while over Christmas to decide... any thoughts or recommendations?

Moral of this story? ENTER GRAZIA COMPETITIONS, PEEPS!
