Just Take Me To Paris

by Christie Nowels


Paris will forever hold a special place in my heart. As much as I'd love to jump on the Eurostar every weekend, it just doesn't always happen so I decided to bring that Parisian style to london.

If you haven't downloaded the ASOS app, I'm apologising now for your next daily tech obsession. We all know Ecommerce has taken over but the App world is where it's all happening. The easy interface and simple click through system made it super simple to pick out my Parisian look within 5 minutes. With premier unlimited delivery, a simple annual fee of £9.95 gets you next day delivery for the year. Talk about a super saver!  As much as I enjoy the traditional shopping experience, I'm loving those "voilà moments" (aka DPD text updates) - your package has now arrived...

Every chic Parisian has a pair of mom jeans and after searching forever, I finally took the plunge. ASOS Farleigh Jeans have been in my saved cart for awhile, but always sold out in my size. Let me tell you, the wait was worth it! I was so impressed with the soft quality of denim, genuine comfort and total steal of a price. I couldn't help myself and also get this classic black belt, cap and striped sweater, all from ASOS to make my whole look très Parisian. 

A little ASOS haul never hurt anybody, right?! ;)

Winter White

by Christie Nowels


There's just that "je ne sais quoi" about a full winter white outfit. The crisp lines, fresh glow and stand out appearance has always been a favorite in my book. When other parts of the globe may be in full spring mode, London still has that winter chill. So I decided to bring out my sample sale steal that I purchased last year and retire my trusty Burberry black coat for awhile. 

Before I moved to London, I owned one coat - a black Zara parka that I only bought before I went traveling through Patagonia's glaciers. It's safe to say I went coat crazy at sample sales last March and found this Reiss Archive beaut. I fell in love with this coat not just because of the exceptional quality, but the divine colour truly caught my eye. Darker than a fresh snow white, lighter than a camel - this colour was one of kind and I knew it would be the perfect addition to brighten up my winter wardrobe. It's hard to imagine yourself wearing a coat this bright when the masses on the morning rush hour tube are in their standard head-to-toe black attires. But who cares, right? I never wear all black and know myself enough that even a big city like London certainly won't change that. I always say if I like what I'm wearing, I feel good and that's the most important part of styling yourself. Confidence is key and you'll never know who you'll meet on that morning tube ride..
