Sketch x Balmain x H&M

Fashion, food and all things chic came together perfectly this past Friday night when I had a weekend off from the kids and met my friends for dinner at Sketch in London.  I had been waiting for the perfect occasion to rock my Balmain x H&M purchases and this was it!  I would highly recommend a night out in Sketch if you happen to be in London.  Not only is the food amazing, but it's the decor and the ambiance that really make this experience special!  We dined in the Gallery, which was very reminiscent of Dynasty in the 80's with plush pink chairs and cool art work on the walls.  The bathrooms are particularly trippy - the toilets are in these egg pods (pictured below).  My dress was velvet which is perfect for the holidays and this necklace made me feel regal like an Egyptian queen. Did any of you manage to get your hands on the Balmain x H&M collection? xo

I was in Dublin recently and took the chance to do a bit of shopping and exercise the credit card. . . I have completed my first year on the Specialist Registrar (Geriatric Medicine) training scheme and am one year closer to becoming a Consultant physician (woohoo!)  So, naturally I took the opportunity to reward myself with these amazing new Chanel brogues. I am a firm believer in rewarding oneself at all opportunities ;)  I had seen the gold version of these shoes on a lot of bloggers online, but these navy and black brogues are understated and way more my style.  Shoes and bags are most definitely my weakness xo

Short Skirt / Long Jacket

 I am deadly for window shopping!  When I go to Marks and Spencer for my weekly shop, I have to pass the likes of H&M, River Island and New Look.  They always have the new stock displayed in the window and I am tempted in to have a look!  This week I spotted this skit in the window of H&M and immediately fell in love.  The skirt has a really cool fringe and embroidery detail at the bottom that makes it look like beading.  It looks much more expensive than the 25 euros I paid for it!  It is still freezing outside, so a long jacket was a must, but this skirt will be perfect for warmer weather as well.  It is so versatile, I plan on taking it on my holidays to Ibiza and also wearing it to work with black opaque tights underneath. xo

Winter/ Spring

It's that awkward time of year when it's definatley still winter outside but all the stores are stocking spring clothes.  I am California dreaming - planning holidays and looking forward to longer days and warmer weather.  I picked up this striped dress and hat in H&M.  It's part of the new SS stock and would be great for holidays, but I also wanted to show how I would wear it with black tights, a belt and boots for colder weather.

I partnered with Campbell Jewellers in Dublin on this post and am wearing a Daniel Wellington watch from their store.  I love the rose gold face and the stripey band fit in with the holiday preppy Hampton's vibe I am feeling at the moment.  The great thing about Daniel Wellington watches is the variety of interchangable straps you can get in both striped fabric or leather.  I am excited to announce that Campbell Jewellers will be giving all my readers a 15% off discount on all purchases for the next 30 days (great before Valentines day, hint hint!).  Just use my code "thestyledoctor" on their website. xo
