"When the working day is done, girls just want to have fun..."

Bonjour mes amies, hope you are all awesome. Life is still crazy so another outfit post is just about all I can manage today. Taking a quick break from revision, I had an opportunity to wear my gorgeous new cropped Chanel-esque jacket that I got on sale in January in H&M (prior to the ban), my lovely new patent round-toe bow heels (also pre ban), my floral and pearl necklace and pearl and diamanté ring.


In addition to the new clothes, I also decided my outfit post pictures could do with a change of scenery so I took photos of my outfit around my fabulous bedroom which I love. Today I was channelling my inner Coco Chanel and her wise advice, which is one of my ultimate style philosophies that "a girl should be two things; classy and fabulous". I hope I managed to pull it off, and I hope you like the photos (and my room):


What are all of your plans for the weekend? It's a long weekend bank holiday here in the UK and whilst i'll be spending most of it indoors with my textbooks for company (can you hear the violins darlings?) I will be taking a break to go and see Sex and the City 2 (i literally could not care less that it has been absolutely murdered by the critics and "may quite possibly be the worst movie of the year". Who cares about the non-existent plot, the weak script, the horrendous acting or how its 'sold out' on its original feminist principles? Not me!


It is fabulous, there is fashion ($11 million worth which they got to keep!), and more importantly there are shoes. Lots of them. Those seem like pretty sufficient reasons to me. I think my style is most like, or at least will be most like when I am older, Charlotte's; classy, girly, classic, preppy 'uptown girl' with a bit of a twist. Blair Waldorf grown up. Are any of you planning on seeing the movie? Which SATC girl are you and what are your fabulous plans for the weekend? Whatever you're doing have a good'un =]

 Stay safe and chic mes chéries,
English Rose x

  13. Ahhhh I love that Chanel inspired jacket!! I didn't know they were selling THAT at H&M! Definitely green now. Also I like the green and blue nails.

    I don't know when I'm watching SATC2, but I think personality wise I'm Miranda, clothes wise....Carrie?! Hopefully?!

  14. I'm loving your Chanel inspired look! Definitely a classic you can't compete with. I'm going to watch SATC 2 as well, though I do fear that the cringe-worthy storyline and acting may really ruin the shoe and clothes gazing for me....

  15. True, too bad you couldn't watch the film on mute if it really is that bad! Love your Chanel inspired jacket!

    I am so jealous of how chic you look: you remind me of CoCo Chanel.

    I adore your shoes and pearls!
    To me, pearls are a girl's best friend ;)

  27. Wow they get to keep all that!?!?!?! I'm so jealous! How can I get in on that one? The movie was fabulous and the girls all looked stunning, for anyone that hasn't seen it - go!

    Your blog is great! I'm especially inspired since I'm doing some traveling around London this summer. It's great to see what a local is wearing.

    I'd love your feedback on my new fashion blog

  28. this pearl necklace with the black flower is sooo amazing!
    totally love it.

  29. I LUV that look!! But I must ask dearie... what ban? lol. Is there some odd H&M ban in the UK I am not aware of? That must be HORRENDOUS :)

    I am also looking forward to the movie, I anticipate weak script, gorgeous men, amazing fashion and girl bonding. Everything I dream of in a great chic flick. ;)

  40. I do have to agree with you here on SATC 2! I've never seen the series but after watching the film one afternoon I know I'll love it AND who cares about all of these critics' qualms, it's pure escapism, which is to me, what the movies are all about. An hour or two of slipping into another world. Another great post! xxx

  41. j'adore your chanel-esque ensemble, perfection.

    and i have to say, that without a doubt satc 2 was the worst movie i have seen in quite a some time. and while i found it offensive, boring, and just embarrassing... the fashion was INSANE!!!! i loved the clothes.
