Ok, so I don’t really have a flat in London. But I do have pieces of a lovely collection from Brighton called My Flat In London, designed by Jan Haedrich. I can’t recall how I first heard about the collection, but my husband gave me a My Flat In London purse for Christmas a couple of years ago. I loved the look because it was very reminiscent of Chanel, but at a fraction of the price (although, I do now have my own Chanel purse, more on that later when I put up my post about luxury consignment shopping). Imagine my delight when I went to Las Vegas recently to celebrate my mother-in-law’s venture into a new career and she surprised me with adorable My Flat In London jewelry for my birthday! Of course they perfectly paired with my purse and I just couldn’t wait to put together an outfit featuring the pieces. I adore French style, and this was my version: mixing high-end with mid-price, keeping it simple but with attention to detail and always a bit of edge. Cuffing my jeans makes them feel more tailored and the whole look feels very put together without being too matchy-matchy. I’m excited to finally have an outfit post up, and I’ll be doing some catch up posts in the next few weeks. In the meantime, cheers and have a great weekend!
