THROWBACK THURSDAY

My kind of Throwback Thursday involves '60s-inspired boots and mini skirt, vintage beret and a second-hand '70s peocock chair I picked up from a lovely shop called Retro Joe in Crystal Palace. This is usually where my boyfriend waits as I have a few dozen outfit changes while calling out 'I'll be two seconds!'

ASOS LUV LIST: FEBRUARY

My name is Natalie and I am an ASOS-aholic. I make a daily pilgrimage to the 'New In' section, and DPD makes a similarly frequent trip to my house. It's a problem, albeit a wardrobe-fulfilling one. But seeing as I like to think I have an encyclopaedic knowledge of ASOS's best stuff, I figured I'd bring them to you on a monthly basis. Here's my wish list - or should I say, stuff I've mostly already purchased. And no, this ain't sponsored - I just really luv ASOS.

1. River Island Patent Knee High Boots

2. ASOS White Funnel Neck Dress

3. ASOS Ruffle Jumper

4. ASOS Block Pattern Tunic

5. ASOS High Neck Shift Dress

6. ASOS Tessa Lace Up Sandals

7. ASOS Farleigh Slim Mom Jeans

8. ASOS Ruby Ankle Boots

9. ASOS White Twill Satin Dress

THE BELLA BEATNIK: PART TWO

'You don't need another faux fur coat', my boyfriend pleaded. I think you'll understand that I did in fact need Sister Jane's Hayden jacket, if only to take me one step closer to replicating Kate Hudson's sartorial prowess in Almost Famous (note to self: must rewatch). It's now in the sale, so I suggest you follow suit immediately.

Buyers, a note - don't be alarmed by the flat, fuzzy faux shearling it arrives with - with some enthusiastic brushing, it fluffs up to marsmallowian (new word) proportions. Secondly, don't do what I did and wear straight out, with all-black, on a car journey to Bruges. By the time we arrived, outfit, boyfriend and car seats were covered in a film of fluff.

THE BELLA BEATNIK: PART ONE

*waves tentatively* It's been a while but needless to say, I'm back and clad in a forever longed-for jumper, that Bella Freud 'Je t'aims Jane' knit. I snapped it up at Grazia Shop just before Christmas and have been quite attached to it ever since, mourning it each time it hits the laundry basket.

It's been a busy few months. In between managing my one-woman social media agency and writing gigs, I've been frequenting the hallowed halls of Matches, where I stepped in as freelance Social Media Manager. The above photo depicts my usual uniform - said knit, cropped flares (this Zara pair has the perfect cut) and my silver space-girl booties by dear friend and acclaimed new designer, Camilla Elphick. Take a moment, I beseech you, to ogle my new Topshop faux fur. My maximalist tendencies will never die.
