Summer Sale Edit '14: River Island

Keeping with the monochromatic palette that I've been loving recently, here is a list of sale items I've been lusting over from River Island, most of which are black and white. Thinking ahead to the Autumn, I've included a couple of coats which can be thrown over jeans and skirts to protect us from unfavourable weather, without having to worry about being fashionable. I also have included a couple of splashes of blue and pink, which compliment the other items harmoniously.

Black check oversized jacket 

(£30 down from £65)

White perforated panel leather jacket 

(£75 down from £150)

Navy diamond jacquard oversized coat

(£30 down from £65)

Light pink polka dot shirt 

(£15 down from £38)

Black and white geometric print skirt

(£17 down from £28)

Turquoise leather pony skin cross body bag

(£35 down from £65)

Black and white floral print cigarette pants

(£20 down from £38)

Aqua rolled brim bowler hat

(£5 down from £20)

I really like the idea of a completely monochrome outfit, for example the cigarette trousers with a white shirt, with the pop of colour of the blue hat. 

Which is your favourite? Would you wear any of the items together?

O, Jeff!

After finding out that Office stocked Jeffrey Campbell shoes yesterday following my trip to London, I embarked on a mission. Selfridges only seemed to stock the Pewter Glitter (shown below); although they are pretty, I do not think that I would get very much use out of them, so I decided to look online. Much to my disappointment, the only other Lita's stocked were in black leather- slightly boring for my taste, and sold out anyway.

I dared to look across the pond at www.solestruck.com. My favourites are the 'Stars and Stripes', which I think would look so striking with a simple black t-shirt and denim shorts, but it's a shame that they are made from fabric and not leather.

Also, I really like the 'Red Glitter', and the 'Black Velvet'; Jeff.... take the hint and make a Red Velvet-I'd buy them immediately!

The 'Black White Lita Fur' have been on my wish list for a while, however after my mum ever so kindly bought me a pair of shoes of the same texture from Topshop yesterday, I think I need to dream about something slightly different...

UPDATE: found this website (www.envishoes.com - American, again); however they seem to sell some Sam Edelmen-esque Litas that have tickled my fancy!

Could I have asked for anything else more heavenly?
