Time for a drink at the Standard Hotel always a perfect view from the top

Night Night

Blue.....

Blue has become the shade where everything goes from denim to pastels to navy its one of my favourite tones and this week while the weather still hangs on I wanted to wear the lighter shade of blue and give someone a push in the right direction as you can WIN a blue shirt to add to things in your wardrobe by the shirt king's Equipment.  Just retweet the blog or leave a comment below or on my twitter feed @nataliehartley or Instagram @nataliehartleywears to enter!  Deadline is Saturday 6th September...good luck! 

TIP...mens loose cotton boxer shorts are a great shape and perfect alternative to a traditional style and adding this oversized shirts in similar tones gives a slightly boyish twist to a pretty pastel

TIP...a bold ultra blue works really well against the pastel back drop try a cute mini size for day you really don't need all that stuff in your bag do you?

TIP...total opposites but in shoes of blues these are two perfect ways to wear with an outfit like this or even just add either pair to jeans and your blue shirt

This shirt is what you can win this week!

And why not finish the look with this cool stainless steel bangle by the jewellery name to know Maria Black 

My Autumn Wish List.....

If money were no object...

TIP...add a vintage looking tee to tartan for a modern and wearable nod to punk

TIP...loose shirts over over a skirt needs a bit of skin to balance it out

TIP...add a collarless white shirt under a blazer to keep symmetry with block colours jeans dress the look down

TIP...grey is the colour for winter wear it head to toe but mix up the textures

TIP...channel the 80's with checks and bows and add a roll neck for this seasons new update

TIP...the puffa coat looks great when belted to create shape and is perfect worn with a pair of high tops (these are my top tip for winter shoes pony skin on the outside and sheepskin lined on the in!)

Everything featured is available at Browns

TIP... go sixties with a boxy jacket in black patent but a monochrome stripe adds a touch of Parisian chic plus a silk scarf is anise addition to add to plainer pieces
