Gogo Philip opens new stand in Westfield

Hi guys,
I seem to find myself popping over to Westfield (the big London shopping centre) more and more: it's so convenient to have all my favourite shops under one roof, and its only 6 stops on the central line from my office - score! Last night I headed over to Westfield because Italian jewellery co (and my new favourite obsession) Gogo Philip have opened a stand alone jewellery store there (on the first floor just outside Uniqlo, if you feel like popping along) and I just had to check it out.


I can't believe how inexpensive the jewellery is: Topshop prices (or less) but for more unusual and unique designs. The problem with Topshop, much as I love it, is that everyone is always wearing it, so you risk looking exactly the same as everyone else. This isn't a problem with the Gogo Philip stuff!

Some of the jewellery is just too cool for school (and way too cool for me!) As much as i'd love to be able to pull of a necklace with a moustache pendant, or mismatched earrings, I fear i'm slightly too old, and slightly too untrendy. I love their newest collections: Art Deco angular inspired pieces in fabulous bright gold with accents of shiny black, coral, or turquoise. You're going to see a lot of pictures of me wearing the oversized coral-detail necklace above this summer: I just couldn't resist it. Coral is such a great jewellery colour: I may well have to go back and buy the long strand of coral beads as well! Could Gogo Philip be the brand that forces me to hit the shops? Quite possibly...

Love, Tor xx

Daily wear: Knits and Minnie Mouse prints

Hi guys,
As quickly as the weather turned icy cold, it has turned back to a milder and more clement temperature. This makes dressing difficult: it's warm as you walk to work, but pretty cold when you trek home after dark. Of course, I used the same solution to this that I use to all things: I wore lots of layers! Here's what i'm wearing today:


Top: River Island, Cardigan: Vince, Shoes and scarf: Topshop, Pleather skirt: Matalan, Bracelet: Gogo Phillips.

I love this pleather skirt, but this is only the second time i've worn it: it ruches around the waist adding bulk, which makes it difficult to wear. I am looking for a leather skirt, but i'd like just a simple and classic A-line one. I call this my Minnie Mouse top, for obvious reasons: I thought it would add a pop of colour, but looking at these pics I worry it makes me look top heavy. I love the contrast of the heavy gold jewellery against it though. And check out my gorgeous new Gogo Phillips bracelet. The lovely Amy from Wolf Whistle sent this over and I love it: its really chunky, but incredibly light! It's a really bright gold, and it's stretchy, meaning I can position is much higher up my arm too. Check out the website if you get the chance: gorgeous jewellery photographed really well (the photography is yummy in fact!)

I'm not sure if this is an outfit fail or an outfit success: I think a wider skirt would have balanced out my bust more, and made me feel much more comfortable! Thoughts?

Love, Tor xx
