What shoes are you wearing at the moment? This week’s poll

Banana Republic shoes (well I am from a Banana republic, after all)

I’m looking forward to adding a new body con dress to my wardrobe…

And have picked out this little bewdy from my newest favourite store, Whistles, which I’m sure is going to be the ‘body con of the year’. (I’ve already racked up blue body cons – how did I ever survive without them – from Reiss and French Connection, see below this year). Not only does the  cut on this new one look fab, but long sleeves have been in fashion since… who’s been counting? It’s arrived just in time, too, as Grazia is currently offering 25 per cent off the new Whistles collection.

Have been waiting for about six weeks now to get my mitts on this

French Connection body con (still available)

Reiss body con - not mine, but looks almost as good!

2007 was a GAP year

 I couldn’t get enough of the store after moving to London. But then GAP always feels like a dependable friend, who may not always be the most exciting of the bunch (like say, Topshop), but it’s comfortable.

Reliable it was – particularly when I was in Morocco in the Atlas Mountains, in temperatures approaching below zero, on Christmas Day. I lived in this jumper, which at one point I also wore underneath a long, black sleeveless, belted mini dress from Mango, and also on a camel.

Sadly, 2008 wasn’t a GAP year. There were other quirkier options, like the Old Street tube boutique (I’ll get to it later on, but the green jacket that I’m clutching in the pic is from there).

Now that we’re in autumn, and electric blue is back in vogue, the jumper’s out again. 

GAP is currently offering 30 per cent off until September 29 (thanks to fashionista Sarah from work, she’s not to be confused with the other fashionista, Sara, also from work, for passing on the good news).

Something to look out for is their sheepskin boots. (Sadly, my all-time favourite GAP product, their Heaven and Dream perfume has never made it to the UK. Lucky I still have two bottles left from a trip to the US last year).

For those in Oz and other places, here’s a link to GAP on ASOS.

This year may be a GAP year, again.
