Back Like I Never Left

Not exactly but I'm sure you get the gist, I am sure you have all noticed (hopefully) my absence from the bloggingsphere for over a month. In a nutshell, I have been going through what i can only describe as positive changes, hopefully i will be able to reveal details in due course.

Along the line there has been telecommunication drama hehe, i am still without a telephone line and Internet in my house and i am currently blogging with a dongle thanks to all the issues i have been having with BT. I want to vent so much about it but i think i have done enough already on twitter, so if you want the scoop, head on over to my twitter @treschicglobal to find out more about my BTwoes.

In any case, I am back, i have taken quite a few pictures, been to Paris etc which i will hopefully be sharing with you all in due time. Hope all has been well with all my readers and i haven't missed much.

In case your wondering, I am wearing my favourite charm bracelets from Roberto Cavalli & vintage silver bracelet watch.

Autumn Winter Looks

Hi Lovies,

I have finally jumped on the Polyvore train, still working my way around the site and trying to get used to it, however i have managed to create two collages for your viewing pleasure.

The first collage is an AW versatile look that can easily transition from day to night without losing the wow factor. Classy and sophisticated was my base and i just added a few things that i am really loving right now; which are leather, mustard and these little gorgeous clutch bags, all the while cautious of the fact that i didn't want to break the bank from a budge standpoint.

what do you guys think?

The next one is all about the bodycon trend, i think this trend is going to be here for while irrespective of the weather. What i love about the bodycon is that there is something for everyone, polo neck, long sleeve, mesh panels etc all worked into this ultra sexy look.

For winter i have my eyes on the polo neck bodycon dresses, both the long and sleeveless ones, i will definitely be wearing a lot of them this winter.

For the long sleeve polo neck dress below, i would pair it with a statement necklace to give it that WOW factor, these dresses are what i call 'licence to thrill', women with curves will definitely stun in these.

Etre A/W12

Etre's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection draws on the understated but characterful traditions of British workwear. It looks to the best time-tested solutions from the past, pioneering innovative solutions where history offers no blueprint. The collection thus includes traditional fishermen’s sweaters, knitted to a pattern familiar to generations of fishermen’s wives and customised with motifs originating in the centuries-old fishing communities of Polperro and Staithes, alongside the innovative Etre Touchy (http://www.etretouchy.com/) and FIVEPOINT gloves (http://www.fivepointgloves.com/), conceived specifically for use with mobile devices.

Each piece is lovingly crafted in the British Isles, using responsibly sourced, time-honoured British materials. Workwear jackets are fabricated from 100 percent Melton wool, manufactured by a 150-year-old family business in West Yorkshire. Gansey sweaters are knitted from the finest 5-ply worsted wool, spun and dyed in Yorkshire mills that have been turning out the same material for generations. Leather gloves are made by a family business established in 1944, now one of the last surviving British glove manufacturers. Satchels and holdalls, crafted from the same high quality Melton wool as the jackets, are fabricated by a small Cornish leatherwork company.

Timeless and durable, this is clothing in which to invest emotional energy, each carefully edited piece a component of a uniform for contemporary life that feels special and personal – British workwear for a new generation.

Etre items can be purchased from the following shops

• Selfridges
• Park & Bond (Gilt Groupe)
• YMC
• Tomorrowland

Beneath you're beautiful

Hi Lovies,

Hope you are all having a great week thus far, i don't really know why but i have been extremely cheery this week and this has transferred to my outfit choices, bright and loud seems to be the order of the day.... you can't help but smile when you see me coming......i think a positive attitude goes a long way, irrespective of what you are going through, try and smile, the universe might just smile back in  more ways than you can imagine :)

People are drawn to positive attitudes, even something as small and inexpensive as a smile can open doors that all the degrees and experience you have couldn't #tryit

Sunday Chilling

Last Sunday, i decided to dust off my motif jumper from topshop, boldly inscribed with 'HELP' across the chest. Please don't ask me why i thought buying a jumper with help written on it was a good idea,  i just loved the colour combo #simples

I have noticed recently that a lot of people are wearing motif jumpers with bold and bright inscriptions this season, so here is how i wore mine

PS: for those wondering, i did put on 40 denier tights and a coat when i eventually left the house :)

Impromptu shopping finds



Trousers - Topshop outlet £5 each (mega bargain)

Recently, i tend to find the best bargains and outfits when i am not looking which is great. For a long time now, i keep hearing about the Topshop outlet store in Edgware but i have never really been motivated to go there because it is so far, the end of the northern line to be precise (major trek)

On Friday i found myself in the Edgware area and decided to kill two birds with one stone; so i popped into this infamous shop to see what the bargain hype is all about.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a vast array of clothes in all sizes at ridiculously low prices. For some reason i gravitated towards the trousers and picked out a few, i will definately be heading back there in there near future, it is definately worth. I was even told by the shop assistant that i missed out on a buy one get one promo they had recently, so if you are in the area, i would recommend it.

Here are some of my purchases

Little Black Dress

If you follow me on twitter you will have heard me heaping praises on AquaByAqua's new collection, it is AMAZING. I recently purchased the Magdaline Midi and took it for a spin at the 30th birthday party i attended on Saturday at Gilgamesh.

I got so many lovely comments about this dress, it fits and complimented my curves in all the right places, definitely a must have, especially for those ladies who want to look sexy & sophisticated without having to show too much skin. oooh & it turns out it is now on sale, so you too can get the look for less, although i paid full price for mine, boohoo

The Little Black Dress is a key fashion staple for every woman, if you must have one item in your wardrobe, it should be an LBD. The 'little' is open for interpretation, the hem can be as high or low as you want, as work with your comfort zone, for me personally, the ideal LBD sits just above the knee.

I realise that in some of the pictures the dress looks blue, but believe me, it is definitely BLACK. I finished off my look with a Coret silver & gold 1980's clutch, it is one of my favourites, i love the shape and feel but most of all, i love that it breaks the rule of not mixing gold & silver...who makes up these rules? surely they knew i would break it right?
