A little retro feeling of the 70's is in the air this Summer. And although it's drizzling at the moment I can't help but imagine all those fabulous ladies strutting around in the most inappropriate attire in such hot weather yet looking so fabulous.

I can't help but imagine Alexa Chung or Freja Beha Erichsen walking around looking effortlessly cool in this denim dress and loafers, accompanied with a stupidly small bag that only just about fits their phone and credit cards, perfect.

I know its not summer but it is sunny...

It may be winter but sunglasses are still around and are fabulous with a fur coat. With the sun shining as I walk through London a pair of sunglasses are essential to protect those peepers. Here are my favourite brands who design the most incredible range.

I discovered heidi london sunglasses at London Fashion Week in February and instantly fell in love, the owners were so lovely taking photos of me in their glasses! Aha. They have a slight vintage feel but use a variety of colours and shapes to bring a feminine edge to her designers.

I have forever loved Linda Farrow, when flicking through my magazines I would always notice her sunglasses being modelled. During my work placement at London Fashion Weekend she had a stall, I found the most beautiful Linda Farrow for Luella cat eye sunglasses for a mere £40! Then they were mine. She's collaborated with so many brands it's incredible!

Studio Swine are a pair of graduated art students which practice multi-disciplinery design and have created an art project where they have used hair to create sunglasses. They explored the sustainability of human hair to find that human hair with bioresin create 100% biodegradable frames and that no harmful substances are released during the process. Ooo how eco friendly. Their unique take on the materials is amazing and their designs are just as original must have a pair!

Not currently for sale but will be priced £250 - £300

Whilst working at Browns in their Sloane street store I noticed the beautiful array of sunglasses, one of which I tried on and adored. So I took a closer look at other designs they did and they too have a lovely retro feel. All handmade in Italy but designer in New York, the brand really experiment with the use of materials and patterns.

Christmas Wishlist

Christmas is drawing closer and the list of things I want is growing fiercely. So just dropping a hint to my friends and family and any admirers out there who may want to buy me a present, just have a cheeky look below...

These amazing heeled boots resemble ridiculous similarities to the Laurence Decade boots I blogged about back in August. Seeing as I can't afford the £800, these Topshop ones seem affordable for £150.

Pentax produce brilliant cameras and now they do this cute stylish number in a pearl white. You can capture your photos and edit them in a 'vintage' way, very much like the app on the i phone. I'm not technical enough for an i phone and still like the idea of a camera and this one is too cute to miss for £69 at electrical123.com

Anyone who knows me knows how much the peace symbol means to me and this tacky little number hasn't got away. This diamonte ring by Me and Zena has my name written all over it for £18.

My love for fashion photography is immense and I love Richard Avedon's work. His work is so elegant that it makes you want to go back in time. I think one of my cheeky friends has got me one of his books. Take a look at his work from 1944 - 2000 from amazon at £42.

I have a small obsession with sunglasses and these I tried on whilst I was at Browns, and instantly fell in love. For a mere £180 these stylish Illestevas are surely a bargain?

Faux fur is perfect for January, the coldest time of year and it's a bargain for £20, Asos never fails to impress! It can be thrown on with your biker jacket, blazer or trench and you'll look forever fabulous.

Another snazzy little piece from Asos, this quirky little necklace is pretty unique and I can see this being worn with a white shirt, for £15 it's not a bad buy.
