Gap's neon parka


Parka, currently in the sale, £34.99, Gap

Just because it's cold and rainy, doesn't mean you have to dress dull....
My grey top is by new favourite Swedish designer, Stylein. The designer, Elin Nystrom, was once a stylist herself, so she knows her stuff.

What a difference a month makes: me wearing the jacket in Jamaica on a shoot (photography and collage by hair stylist Ben Cooke)
My neon purchases this season will be:

Jumper, £59, Boden
Revlon neon varnishes
Leather bag, Kate Spade
Notelets, £14.95, Marby + Elm at Liberty
Trainers, £70, Nike at JD Sports
Essentially, I'd quite like to be this girl in trainers...

Neon umbrella (comes in yellow, too), £12.50, Marks + Spencer

  1. I am mad about neon and its all your fault (and Red's!) my daughter cringes (she is 12) but it make me feel I don't take myself too seriously! Love your blog Alex!

    1. It's a bit of fun! Love doing it in accessories, too. The umbrella is perfect for cheering up a dreary day, for sure! You daughter probably doesn't know it yet, but you're the coolest mum out there ;)

  2. I am loving neon at the moment too! In dreary grey weather it really lifts your mood.

    I'm thinking the mac could be great for Glastonbury this year... And I am keeping my eye out for those neon nail varnishes!!

    P.S. Insider contact in accessories tells me the M&S statement necklace you featured will be out in the next few weeks! :)

    1. If you see it first, tweet me!! I've got a waiting list on that necklace! The mac would be perfect for Glasto - and it's in the sale ;). I did match the parking attendants at Ikea with mine, though! hehe

  5. You parka is such a great piece! I only have one neon piece - a cardigan - but I really like when you have a pop of neon over a neutral palette of colours. Caterina
