Jenna Lyons- J Crew

So everyone knows by now that J Crew is opening a store in London (woohoo) but Jenna Lyons style and career has become something of an interest to me. Jenna Lyons worked at J.Crew for more than 22 years and began at J.Crew as an assistant in menswear without there even being a vacancy there. She has worked her way through the ranks to become creative director. Not only has she got the dream job of many an aspiring fashionistas she has one amazing wardrobe! I have been spying her style for ages but now it's time to blog about some of my favourite outfits of hers. With her super long legs and trademark thick black glasses you can't do anything but agree that she has some serious style!!

Japan you are so stylish

I've become a little obsessed with Japanese style of late and thought I would dedicate a post to it. I have always loved their art and style, but since using Japanese influences in a recent project I have been able to appreciate it a bit more. I like the way the girls dress, from a Geisha girl to the Tokyo city girls. They are bold and daring and always look great! I can't wait to get to Tokyo next year and experience it first hand, who knows I might even go bold and daring myself!

Coat obsession

My last post was on Penelope Cruz gorgeous orange coat but now I have seen another one on Victoria Beckham, olive green with black detailing on the collar. Let be fair Mrs B can't ever put a fashion foot wrong but now it's inspired me to source out some of my fave coats around at the minute. With the rubbish weather we're having too it looks like coats will be staying on our backs for a little while longer!

Get the Loewe down

I just wanted to post to say how obsessed I am with this coat Penelope Cruz wore. It's absolutely gorgeous. Looks so luxurious! Hope the high street bring out something soon.

Who gets a golden globe for being best dressed

Last night was the golden globes and I must say I wasn't blown away by a lot of the dresses worn. My top best dressed were Nicole Ritchie in her boho floor length gown, Juliane Moore in her monochrome dress an Emily Blunt in her gold cut out dress. Other stars that looked fab were Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Glenn Close and Helen Mirren.

Valentino- An inspirational visit

Last night I went to see the Valentino exhibition at Somerset house and it was brilliant! I've never seen so many amazing and different outfits in the same room. All together there's 137 different outfits including dresses worm by Jackie O, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston. The exhibition is so colourful and inspirational. I'll definitely be paying another visit before it closes in march. I loved it.
