Carven?

Monday, 29 July 2013

I have been thinking about this cropped sweater by Carven for a few months now, I have been really uncertain on it  but today I thought just do it! It was originally £330 when I first spotted it and now reduced to £99, increasing the incentive to purchase (paired with my A.P.C black denim skirt, &other stories sandals ahhhh) . So today, after a few hours of arguing with myself I decided to go in for the kill. Click, choose size, size small, 'sorry, item sold out'. I actually nearly cried, I am not going to lie my eyes filled up and I was about to throw my macbook to the floor. I have been watching this item for months but too fearful to purchase, but when I gain the courage it is OUT OF STOCK!!!! 
So. I have purchased it in size medium.... Hopefully it will fit, maybe??? I really hope, if it doesn't I know it will be one of those things I will regret forever, it will be such a annoyance on the back of my mind.

sandal crush

Friday, 5 July 2013

I'm not sure if it is just me, but as soon as I purchase something from a brand/designer I become obsessed with their items. This post is proof of this. I have recently been crushing on these sandals which are soooo utterly perfect. The crossover toe and plaited detailing and leather are so luxurious yet chilled. My recent purchase of the denim tee has fuelled this crush by 100% as I can just imagine them being paired with each other. I wish I was able to purchase them but I do not have the funding to do so. I may have to go on a search for a similar pair but which are more affordable.

Autumn/Winter Isabel Marant Étoile

Wednesday, 12 June 2013






Im loving the Autumn/Winter Isabel Marant Étoile Campaign. I am loving the cape and THAT coat. I would love to own a coat by Isabel Marant. Last year I actually purchased the famous diego coat, unfortunately I had to return it because it was too large. The quality was beautiful, the interior was so soft and comfy, It felt more like a dressing gown rather than a coat. My lust for it still existing so I would love to have anything similar to it if it is not re-released. I think if I were to wear the coat (with the buttons) I would wear it open to give it a bit less of a boxy, 'in your face' appearance. Also, the roll neck jumper looks amazingly snuggly!

Makeup inspiration - Light berry lips

Thursday, 23 May 2013


I am so inspired by this makeup look. I love the colour of the berry lipstick against lovely tanned skin. I have never really thought of trying light berry toned lipsticks but I think a mission may have begun!

Necessities

Wednesday, 15 May 2013



These two items are my current necessities. Firstly, Céline pilot sunglasses are the most perfect aviator style glasses I have seen. I recently tried them on and just wish I was able to afford them.
Secondly, BLK DNM jeans, they are the perfect shade of faded black; not too grey yet not too black ahh NEED!
So there are my two current necessities, they wouldn't make too much of an impact to my wardrobe, but they would too (if that makes any sense).

Tee, trousers and boots - Isabel Marant, Ring - Repossi, Matte Lipstick - Chanel

I have never normally been the type of person who goes for trousers, especially patterned ones. The only trousers I wear are skinny jeans and its been that way for years now. However I'm strangely drawn towards these Isabel Marant trousers. I don't know why, maybe due to the minimalistic colours enables me to vary my makeup choices and accessories in order to style them in various ways. Or maybe just the fact I'm utterly addicted to Isabel Marant this season if you can't already tell hehe.The outfit I have attached is probably how I would style them, the lipstick would give it a nice pop of colour. 
AND JUST LOOK AT THAT REPOSSI RING - TOO PERFECT!!

My List - Classic style

Friday, 18 January 2013

At the moment I am feeling classics. Not 'trend' items but items you know will last you more than one season. 
1. Chanel little black jacket:There is nothing more classic than this it is so easily wearable, you can be wearing jeans, grey low neck tee shirt (a nice tan hehe) and boots/flats and throw it on and look so amazingly perfect. (ahhh need it)
2.Those famous Balenciaga rings, I am in absolute love! However if I were to wear them I would wear only one ring  on my index finger. 
3. Black Celine audrey sunglasses; basically speak for themselves.
4.Saint Laurent trousers - they provide an edge to an outfit, paired with pointed pumps and if they are cropped enough some Isabel Marant dickers. 
5.Although I have only just purchased a pair of dickers in khaki/sage (I'm not really sure what they are classed as) I am on the hunt for a pair in gris or taupe. 
6. Simple elegant jewellery, I would love a simple cuff like this, not to thick and not to thin you can barely see it, with intricate detailing.

christmas list

Tuesday, 4 December 2012



                                 



Gucci G-Line watch, Pomander Diptyque candle, Kate by Kate moss book, Mac Carine Roitfeld Undercover nude
This year I am asking for a watch, I never thought I would ever be a watch kind of person but recently I have been growing fonder of the idea of having one, I normally use my phone or ask people for the time haha! I love this one by Gucci, it is so simple but so gorgeous. 
I would also love the diptyque candle I haven't actually smelt it but the description sounds divine and perfectly festive. I would also love the Kate Moss book, everyone has been talking about it on various fashion blogs, It would be perfect to sit over the festive season reading it with the scent of the festive candle and being ultra cosy and christmassy with a glass of mulled wine. And of course I would love to find lots of chocolate in my stocking! Whats on your christmas list?

autumn wishlist

Thursday, 30 August 2012





Camel and grey jumpers - Acne, Cream fringed jumper - Joseph, Leather jacket - Céline, Coat - Étoile Isabel Marant, Boots - Isabel Marant
Its closely approaching september so I thought I better hurry and prepare myself a winter wishlist. I love the Acne jumpers, the warm camel and grey angora are utter perfection. Also I am absolutely in LOVE with the cream fringed jumper from Joseph, the turtleneck will be so cozy when it gets chilly. I think I may have to invest in the olive tweed coat by Étoile Isabel Marant, I have wanted a tweed coat for years now and never have been able to find the perfect one, it is quite fairly priced at £360ish for a designer coat.

p.s HELP which jumper do you prefer, grey angora or cream fringed?
