Jewelled Wednesday by By Marlene Birger


New season calls for new accessories. What better way to give nod to a trend than with a shiny new necklace, ring, bracelet, etc.. I adore this colourful number by By Marlene Birger , available at Mywardrobe.com. Pastels are huge for spring summer! I'm more into brights, but this necklace definitely caught my attention. Not less because it's kind of magical too! You heard me right. Because the plastic pieces are see through, they change shade according to what you wear it over. Good example is the dress below. It seems like you're wearing a completely different necklace. Which is good fashion math really. Imagine the possibilities. Love it. You can buy it here.
Have a stylish day.

Outfit inspirations - all about an ASOS dress

During my LFW outfits post, I didn't show you what I wore for the menswear day, because I was ill I didn't think it was a good idea to be photographed.. But when I went to London on Monday I had a couple of important meeting and decided to wear the same dress with few small changes. So here it is. Dress is from ASOS, open-toe boots from Kurt Geiger.
 Have a stylish day.

It can be any reason. This isn't a competition for new followers only, if you're following already just comment below. The winner will be picked at random on Monday evening.

Christian Louboutin pop-up shop

Yesterday I went to Selfridges aka my idea of heaven and spent a substantial amount of time in their Shoe galleries (a must visit place), talking shoes and handbags with the lovely Susie Erskine from Louboutin world and of course visited the Christian Louboutin pop-up shop, which opened yesterday and has been very busy since the minute the doors opened. Yes, it was a day many girls dream of. If you love shoes (show me a girl who doesn't) you should definitely pay a visit. It's on the ground floor at Selfridges, right at the corner of Wonder room (where all the dreamy jewellery is sold).
I've been talking about the Louboutin 20 years anniversary quite a lot. A told you about the exhibition, showed you few of the sketches they've come out with and now in this pop-up shop, you can buy the limited edition shoes and bags. But you better hurry, as they've been flying of the shelves. I fell in love with two pink pairs (surpise surprise!) - one was a pair of sandals with crystal details - so beautiful and the other was a bright pink pump with a black flower decoration (see the yellow version in picture below). Both were too small - how typical. I'm going to have and show you more pictures soon, but for now, here are photos I took of the shop-windows accompanying the event (it's a moving display and looks much better in reality) and few photos from the Shoe galleries.
Have a stylish day.

My LFW memories

During London Fashion Week, I was so busy, I hardly had time to savour it all in! It goes so quickly, you don't even realise where has the time gone. I took so many pictures during the week, I keep looking at them reminding myself of all the good times. I've made a little collage of some great moments.
Look from Aminaka Wilmont show, turquoise Holly Fulton finale, Lako Bukia, Camilla Skovgaard's heels, view of London from a black cab when rushing to Paul Smith, Mark Fast finale, champagne was flowing all throughout the week, back of gorgeous Alice Palmer dress, my pink River Island boots got unbelievable amount of attention.
Have a stylish day.

Vintage Sunday - THE Oscar gown

Anticipation is mounting for tonight's Oscars and for many it's not about who wins what, but who wears whom! The Oscars are the ultimate dress-up event and I, like many others, can't wait to see all the beautiful gowns the stunning actresses will wear. We have seen so many gorgeous dresses in the past, but the one that somehow stands out for me was worn by Grace Kelly made by Edith Head in 1955, when she won her award. It was beautifully made, didn't need much accessories and Grace Kelly looked amazing in it. What is your memorable Oscar gown?

Party feet by Atalanta Weller

Nothing catches my attention like a pair of fierce heels. Atalanta Weller's exhibition during London Fashion Week, certainly made an impact on me. Although she's not afraid of highest height, the number one for her when she's designing is comfort and her creations are hot!
Atalanta graduated from the prestigious Cordwainers, set up her label in 2009 very quickly establishing herself among the shoe-elite. Apart from designing her own collections, she has been creating shoes for Maria Grachvogel, collaborated with House of Holland and Gareth Pugh and her shoes have been bought by the V&A museum for their permanent collection. Quite an achievement for someone who's only come out with her sixth collection. And there's much more to come I'm sure.
Here are few styles I'm loving for AW 12. you can buy Weller's shoes at YoungBritishDesigners.com.
Have a stylish day.

Sophie Hulme AW 12

The most wearable collection at LFW must have been by Sophie Hulme. I attended her presentation, which in a way is better than a catwalk show, because you can see the clothes from up-close. I loved everything, including the timeless bags. Here's few of my favourite looks, but I really I want it all.
Read my report on Sophie Hulme's collection for Futurespace magazine here.

Street style - at Somerset House

London Fashion Week is very much about people watching too. I always get inspired by what I see at Somerset house and often get shocked by some of the creations people wear. I've snapped up few looks I liked. What do you think?
Have a stylish day.


Stylish nails - todays manicure

I painted these just before London Fashion Week. I was feeling creative and wanted to do a bit more than just one nail in diffrent colour or a bit of glitter. Both shades are by BarryM. I really can't praise them enough.
Have a stylish day.

Jewelled Wednesday by Cabinet

What I love about London Fashion Week (apart from attending the shows) is checking out the exhibitions. Every season without fail, I discover someone new and exciting. This time I liked the most this lovely jewellery by Cabinet. They are coming soon to Young british designers and are ones to watch. I'll bring you more info very soon.
Have a stylish day.





Outfit inspiration - LFW day 6

For menswear day I wanted to look dressy, elegant but in an understated way. That's why I wore this dress I picked up at ASOS sale and kept the accessories to minimum. YSL jewellery is always part of my looks as is Michael Kors watch. I wore my trusted Zara shoes and Mulberry Bayswater bag.
Have a stylish day.

Outfit inspiration - LFW day 5

This whole outfit started with the Zara jacket. It was love at first sight. I bought it a while ago and have been wearing it for many different occasions. You can really dress it up or down, whatever way you want to or need. Than I discovered the matching skirt and thought it would be a nice to have a skirt suit. They have been appearing on catwalks quite a lot. I just added a simple Mango top, Zara bag and shoes and I was ready to go.
Have a stylish day.

Outfit inspirations - LFW day 4

Today I need height and comfort, that's why I'm wearing Office wedge boots - so comfy! But it's all about the Herve Leger skirt. My shirt is from Zara and leather biker from Michael Kors (and of course my YSL rings).
Have a stylish day.

It's been crazy few days at LFW so far, but I didn't want to skip a Vintage Sunday post. So I created a little collage of photographs I like. Few have been featured already on my blog and some are new. Which one is your favourite?

Outfit inspirations - LFW day 3

It's a sunny day 3 of London Fashion Week. Today I'm wearing a dress from Zara that I bought in a sale and totally love the print, I'm back to my River Island heels and I've got a H&M coat to keep me warm.
