What I’ve been wearing – 04/11/14

With the new season truly upon us, I’m having to really control myself not to buy everything I see in the shops – so many exciting clothes out there…

Advent calendars were unknown to me before I moved to the UK. Of course, there is no way having a little treat a day is a bad idea, and obviously I warmed up to it straight away.

And there I was thinking the chocolate ones were the best thing that could happen…. oooh, no…. look at these beauties below and chocolates will be a thing of the past!

What I’ve been wearing – 09/10/14

From the gap between posts, you can clearly see I haven’t been as effective as I could on my outfit posts… no, I haven’t been walking around naked (phew), sometimes it is just to do with time to take the pictures, or days I am not that happy with the outfit.

That means, you get my absolute favourites, every time. And you can clearly see I am morphing into cold weather mode. I include one of my fave pieces for autumn, the blanket wrap.

Outfit #1

Sequin dress from a shop in the USA – it was a $35 BARGAIN, black courts from Christian Louboutin (Pigalle 100), rings from Sobral and H&M, Naturalash lashes from SalonSystem and MAC’s Lady Danger lipstick.

Pure London Show Spring/Summer 15

This is my second Pure London show; I attended the first one back in February, and this time, the show was actually bigger.

Rather than looking for trends (which I do anyway, but it is such an enormous space, with so many styles), I look for new brands that excite me and revisit some of my favourites.

Olivia Palermo, the shoe designer

Yet another celeb jumping on the designer bandwagon. Although I am rather sceptical about this kind of thing, I kinda like Olivia Palermo (the girls is stylish!) and if the shoes that come out are as lovely as sketches that have been released, I think this has the potential to be a good one.
