Winter cold Summer warm


So to state the obvious, its cold outside in London Town right now. But instead of drowning yourself in 'all black everything', why not add a pop of color to the mix. 
I'm loving these jumpers and scarf knits in S/S hottest colors.





Clockwise:Yellow-Scarf-H&M, Coral-Jumper-H&M,
Lemon-Jumper -Topshop, Lime Green&Grey-Scarf-H&M

Tee Tee just had to be in the shot.


I love items of clothing that can be worn all year round. Just think how lovely either jumper will look paired with sum cut off shorts on a Summer's evening when that breeze hits you.
FYI Topshop and Missguided have loads of bright knits in at the moment.

Miguel



So last weekend (12th Jan) i took my lovely niece to see Miguel in concert at Shepards Bush Empire for her 19th birthday.
Now i have been into Miguel for sometime now,since i first heard 'All i want is you' featuring the might of Jcole. I was like hmmmmm, who is this guy singing?! To my delight he wasn't a one hit wonder, he was here to stay with a banging first album and his follow up is just as great.
Now we all know what you hear coming out of your headphones ain't exactly the sweet sound you will hear when an artist is LIVE. But trust me Miguel is an artist. He can sing, dance and do the splits all at the same damn time like its nothing. At one point he got into a song so hard that his microphone dropped out of his hand. 
Lets not forget Daley who was his support act for the night. He lacked in energy at times, but his vocals were floor-less and not every singer shakes a leg on stage. My favorite part was when he did his own take on R'n'B modern day classics, like Usher 'climax' and Maxwell's 'pretty wings'. 
All in all GREAT NIGHT.......Go see him when he comes back.

Check out what i wore for concert inspiration for the future...........
