25/07/2012

I picked these up a few months ago the morning of my flight to Miami when I realized I had bought no new sandals. These cute neon and white sandals are from Aldo. I wore them yesterday with cropped faded jeans and a light grey tshirt. They brighten up a laidback look and are easy to resort to on a day when you're not bother to put an effort into dressing up.. x x

Reflector

Basic summer accessories: I love this McQueen turquoise and grey scarf...it looks great with anything white or a neutral shade. These sunglasses are my favourite from the bunch stashed in the second drawer of my dresser. As much as they make me look like a bug since my face is quite small, I feel they are the most proportionate to it. I can't go wrong with square framed rims. See which frames would suit you best here... x x

Summer finally...

We've finally been blessed with sunshine by the weather Gods after 1204838 days of gloominess and rain. I embraced it by throwing on a white tee, my favourite distressed cutoffs and an orange belt this morning for brunch. Love wearing bright accessories in sunny weather, it makes them more eye catching. 

Enjoy the weather my fellow Londoners! x x  

Balmain Resort 2013

I start drooling over the looks from the Balmain Resort 2013 collection every time I lay eyes on them. I want to own atleast 95% of this collection. From the pastel long, boyish blazers, loose fit straight trousers, to the eye catching checkered monochrome + floral printed dresses, shirts and slim fit jeans. This collection reminds me of a wardrobe of a fashionista who lived her twenties in the 1980's. The looks below are my favourite from the collection...yes I have these many. x x

Weekly Favourites 20.07.12

Love this gold studded beige trench coat

Rebecca & Fiona: one of my many favourite artists. I've had their song 'I had some fun' on repeat all week

This ultra feminine yet tough biker jacket by Vanessa Bruno seems like the perfect cover up for a fall look

Crush of the week: Joseph Gordon Levitt. Him and I go way back. I used to have posters of him on my wall when I was thirteen and obsessed with the movie 10 things I hate about you. Joseph recently starred in the new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises. If you haven't seen it already please watch it ASAP. It.was.epic

Have a great weekend! Much love x x

Gray sweaters

One of my off-duty go to looks is a basic soft, gray loose fit sweater with skinny jeans and worn out boots. Gray may be one of the most boring colours from the bunch but I think it gives your look a classic touch. Especially an icy gray like the Alexander Wang sweater above.. x x

Layering up...

Heritage Sweater. Reiss vest. American Apparel skirt.

(For all of you who are not in London...please appreciate the sun because we're having a cold summer here). Today was all about layering from the top as I refused to cover my legs in the 15 C weather. My legs are pretty bronze and I didn't have a reason to cover them. I've been using the Garnier Summerbody Moisturizing Lotion - I highly recommend it. It enhances your existing tan and gives your skin a glow. Plus it smells great! :)

I'm a pretty basic dresser. I like my white tops with either denims or black bottoms and a pair of biker boots. Today

I wore a white vest with a black bodycon skirt and this loose fit waffle silver/grey sweater to keep me warm.

Red Peplum

Found this on one of my favourite blogs Jak&Jil. From one of my previous posts on the Chloe Fall 2012 campaign you can clearly see my new found love for wearing only red and white in an ensemble. I had to share this photo as soon as I came across it. As trendy as the peplum has been over the last year, I personally never liked it. However staring at this photo made me want to really wear this damn peplum dress. Still trying to find out where its from... x x

tonight im wearing.... 14/07/12

Tonight I'm wearing a silk leopard print shirt with a sequence black skirt. I think its key to accentuate one part of your body, either your waist/hips or your legs. I love wearing loose fit tops with a bodycon skirt or a pair of shorts in the summer time. It depends on my mood but I'm usually not big on over dressing for a night out. The ensemble above is something that would be my go-to look than a dress. I like to jazz up my outfit with accessories and sky scraper heels.

Check back for photos from tonight.

Have a great weekend! x x

Chloe Fall 2012 Campaign

Chloe Fall 2012 Campaign

I'm feeling the the contrast of the ivory knits with bright red bottoms in this minimalistic setting. The campaign features Anja Rubik and Suvi Koponen. I love the high-waist trousers Anja is wearing. They are a formal version of my jogging pants; tapered with a loose fit in a material which is not jersey... x x

Inspiration: Kaiser

Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 Campaign: I love this over exaggerated floral couture dress and matching shoes. I'm not a big fan of florals or the colours pink and red but I was blown away by the creativity of this piece and the rest of the collection.
