Spring? Nope it's still Winter...

Apparently it has been the coldest March in 66 years - colder than December, January and February. I have had enough of black tights. I stocked up back in November and am damned if I am buying any more. This Easter weekend there was a brief opportunity for a bare ankle (chilly!) but I balanced it out with a warm coat, cashmere hat and colourful new Zara trainers which put a spring in my step instead (sorry)...then headed to Pizza East on Portobello Road. I reckon if you're warm everywhere else you look like you know what you're doing, not mad and not prematurely dressing for Spring. What's that?

Chanel Classic Ballet Flats

I did something bad at the weekend...Despite the fact I can barely cover my rent, I took a small jaunt to Chanel. Ever since I can remember I have lusted after a pair of their classic, two tone flats. My idea of outfit heaven is a pair of these iconic shoes teamed with a trench coat, a pair of jeans and a white shirt...possibly in Paris...in the rain...with a lover...

Well there was definitely rain and I definitely own a trench coat. I happen to be visiting Paris in a few weekends time so I can at least try to complete the picture.

They are exceptionally comfortable. I always thought they would make me feel a bit Sloaney and too grown up but actually having recently seen them on Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo, they have a lovely ladylike-ness to them and they are the perfect investment for many summers to come. Now let's hope the rain stays away or failing that, I can find a Parisian gentleman to rescue me from the storm...
