Cuff Love...

I am already a proud owner of a YSL Arty Oval ring (doesn't stop me wanting to be the owner of 2 or 3 or 4, you get the point...) but the other day I stumbled upon this beauty.

Look at this gorgeous cuff! You have stolen my heart again YSL.

Wouldn't mind this tribal one either.

Time to start building my YSL Arty collection I think.

Autumn/Winter 2011 Inspiration... Part 2

Balmain, another favourite of mine. I love the contrast of the simplistic silhouettes with the intricate/heavy embellishment. Grunge/Rock/Chic...

Here are some looks that will be inspiring me this season.

Metallics are heavily favoured in this selection and they seem to be a timeless trend for A/W.  My favourite look has to be the embellished longsleeve dress; will be on the hunt for the perfect one.

The high-street already has some great pieces to achieve Balmain's look...

Sequin Dress - Zara

Tuxedo Blazer - White

Metallic Silver Trousers - Zara

Metallic Tee - ASOS

I'm sure as the Christmas season closes in there will be a lot more metallics and heavy embellished pieces. 

Can't wait!

Autumn/Winter 2011 Inspiration... Part 1

I finally have a new laptop (so in love!).  So I can finally start to blog properly again, yay!

For the past few weeks I have been studying the September Issues and weekly magazines, I always find it exciting to see how the retailers interpret the trends.

Safe to say I'm finding it hard to limit the list of what I want to buy for the upcoming season...

Inspiration No. 1 - DKNY

H&M - £12.99

Zara - £35.99

H&M

This was one of my favourite collections, it automatically looks so wearable/effortless, almost as if everyone outfit was inspired by a chic New Yorker on the street.

Unfortunately, my budget cannot stretch to DKNY but I have seen a few pieces in Zara and H&M that can help achieve the DKNY look, aswell as pairing with items I already have in my wardrobe. I'm sure there will be lots of other items becoming available on the high-street.

I love the looks, simple pieces all layered; jumpers, shirts, skirts, jacket, coats and hats! The mixture of bright, neutral and classic tones.


Definately on the look out for a tailored coat or cape a la DKNY.

Love Love Love.

Chasing Pavements

The weather in London at the moment is pretty horrific.  I don't think I remember a time when we weren't constantly looking up at the ominous dark sky which threatens a torrential downpour at any second.  It is hard to adapt to this weather, I have been caught out in a maxi dress and pumps/sandals too many a time now and the other day I may as well have swam to work.  Drowned Rat is not chic!

 

The weather has pointed out a distinct lack of flat, stylish, practical footwear in my wardrobe.  So once more I have found a selection of shoes that I 'NEED' and many that I just 'LOVE' and therefore, 'NEED'. 

My feet & heart (and soul) belong to you Jeffery Campbell and Sam Edelman.

 

 

Jeffery Campbell 'Lita' in taupe suede

Jeffery Campbell 'Mariel' in black suede

Jeffrey Campbell 'Nation H' in black & brown distressed

Jeffrey Campbell 'Zoe Fur' in Cheetah

Sam Edelman 'Pax' in Chateau Grey Leather

 

  Pixie ankle boots, studs, wedges, cowboy/biker boots, suede, leather, leopard print.
