Winter Style in London: Flatlays

It's already December 11th and where has all the time gone? Christmas is around the corner and I'm packing away for my weekend in Belgium. What I can honestly say is a winter in the UK is much more manageable than a winter in Calgary. For instance, gloves were not needed today when I walked to the tube and down Oxford Street. Nope not at all. A light sweater and my wool coat were plenty if not a little on the warm side. This is pretty unheard of in Calgary right now!

Well the past month has enlightened me to the wonders of sample sales in London and they are glorious! imagine getting amazing designers like Erdem, Alexander McQueen, Preen, Sophia Webster, and so many more for well you know ..sample sale prices and it's not for the picked over scraps like other places these are for beautiful runway pieces, sample sizes and over stock. for 50-90% off. You know how much I love a good flat lay so here is a mini update with some of the pieces purchased from Erdem and Sophia Webster..
