Paloma Barcelo

As I'm off on my first summer holiday in a few years in September; my Essentials Wardrobe has slightly been put on hold whilst I buy clothes appropriate for the Spanish coast. 

However, I have been very frugal and have made sure that my summer buys are investments/transeasonal pieces.

The other day I spotted an amazing bargain on The Outnet (one of my go to shopping sites)...

These amazing Paloma Barcelo wedges for an fantastic £44 reduced from £220!!!

I wasn't too familiar with Paloma Barcelo, but the brand is up on Net-a-Porter so it can't be at all bad. The brand has been around since 1960 and was launched by Manolo Barcelo (now we all know another Manolo who is in the business of shoes, so this also bodes well!) and after a little research, I discovered the brand is know for their cork/raffia summer shoes. AMAZING!

I am so pleased with them, the quality is fantastic and they go with everything! 

I guess in a way, they are classics, so I haven't strayed too far from my Essential Wardrobe.

I really recommend The Outnet as you can get some brilliant pieces, that are great quality for the same, if not cheaper than High Street prices.  

Shoe Shopping

I have a tendency to desire the things I cannot afford.

Currently I am dreaming of owning these beauties...

These shoes from Rochas are PERFECTION - 70's inspired, Chunky wedged heels, in mint green, white and with a mirrored heel; what more could a girl ask for?! 

Please, please, please let these be mine!

SS12 Bag Guide

I'm back!!!

I have finally finished my last pieces of uni work (ever), it feels so strange. Now all that stands between me and total freedom are 3 exams in May, but apart from that, no more lectures/assignments... it feels great!!!

This little video from Net-a-Porter popped up and o my goodness, it is dreamy!

OBSESSED.

I really really really want this to become my reality.

Net-a-Porter X Erin Wasson

I have a new found love for Net-a-Porter magazine... I adored their interview with the Olsen's (shocker!).

Loving this weeks issue A-Z of SS12 style AND an interview with one of my faves Erin Wasson (LOVE her, her style, tattoos and jewellery range).

You must check it out here.

She just epitomises 'cool'

A girl after my own heart...

Once again having internet issues, so please excuse the lack of blogging.  However, I have still been managing to blog inspirational images over on my Tumblr please do check it out! I do love how through tumblr I can share my mood, current desires and inspiration so seamlessly.

Anyway...

One of my 'current desires' is jewellery by Aurelie Bidermann.  Just Divine.

Mother of Pearl charm bracelets in bright colours, gorgeously delicate rings, cuffs and necklaces in gold and silver.  Skulls, feathers, snakes, peace signs, stars...

This jewellery brand was made for me!

With prices £45 - over £1000, I will hopefully be able to purchase a few beauts.  I would love to stack my wrists with an array of bright coloured string and mother of pearl charms this summer. 

O and the piece de resistance...

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a picture of this piece of perfection anywhere so have screengrabbed from the Spring 2011 Shopping Guide on Style.com.

Perfection, non? Skulls + Turquoise = Masterpiece.

Aurelie Bidermann is a genius.

Day 10

This Alexander McQueen scarf is always 'Sold Out' on Net-a-Porter.  It is simply perfect. Leopard print, yes.  Skulls, yes. Leopard print and Skulls, YES. I know Alexander McQueen scarves are a 'cliche' fashion item but I cannot help but lust after them and they are loved by so many for a reason!  This one is top of my list, however unrealistic it may be.

All I want for Christmas: Day 7

To cheer you up on this chilly Tuesday...

Day 7

Its hard to choose my favourite piece of Daiy Knights' jewellery; the whole collection is lush! My penchant for skulls, made me almost pop one of the skull designs in Door No. 7 but thought I would give a bit of variety to The Fashion Circus. So here it is, this feather ring which is the perfect juxtaposition of elegance and toughness. Bella!

Available at Net-a-Porter.
