Arrived in Milan last night for fashion week and have left adaptor at home. Can’t switch on laptop, charge blackberry or operate GHD’s (I’ve gone polished for Milan-you have to really!!!) Anyway luckily my sister lives in Milan so have hot footed it to her house today to borrow an adaptor.

She lives in Navigli- Milan’s answer to Little Venice. She insists we pop to new shop she has found- a hidden gem you would never notice unless you knew it was there. Ennji is the owner of this self titled boutique. She is Korean and ships unique one off pieces from there to Milan, customising some before they hit the shop floor.

Sis has alteady snagged a pink sweatshirt with epaullettes and chain details that pays homage to the late great Michael Jackson. I have to have it- in charcoal grey.  I also spot a flesh leather studded cuff (a bit of next seasons fave new colour now) . And  a leopard print tee that I love. I only had 10mins to decide so bought all three and have just left wearing my new animal print tee and cuff. Well when in Milan…..

Check the ELLE team blog tomorrow to see my new buys.
