Stripes and florals

As mentioned yesterday, I've been spending time by the seaside, hence my looks have been very low-maintenance (no hair-straighteners, very little make-up and jewellery). I stocked up on jumpers and that's what I've been mostly living in. This stripy one is by J by Jasper Conran. My skirt is by Zara, not worn since the summer when you could see it in this post, boots from Nine west (old) and Dior sunglasses.
I'm trying to be more adventurous with prints, here mixing stripes and florals. What do you think of the combo? Do you mix prints?

I wouldn't be Miss Pink if I didn't fall with the above Valentino pumps in love at first sight. They're sold out in most sizes at Net-a-porter, yet mine is still available. At £580 they're way out of my budget, but a girl can dream hey :)
I've been spending last few days by English seaside (Bexhill-on-sea), where I had walks on the beach, time to read fashion magazines and I've been doing quite a lot of swimming, using jacuzzi, steam room/sauna and I'm already starting to feel like a new person! The swimsuit I picked up in a sale is by Frostfrench and I'm loving the floral print.

As much fun as I'm having in the countryside (wearing no make-up) I can't wait to glam up again. I use my DKNY make-up bag sometimes as a tiny clutch, YSL mascara is great as are their lip glosses which have amazing staying power. Chanel nail polishes are occasional treat. Just like was this Lanvin iPhone case. I first saw it a while ago, but before I decided to buy it, it got sold out. This time when I saw it back in stock I didn't hesitate a minute and bought it straight away. It arrived today and it's been bringing a smile on my face ever since.

Like many other people, I'm feeling the mood for all thing burgundy - one of the biggest trends for autumn. My Chanel nail polish - Rouge Noir - fits the mood perfectly.
I'm the definite handbag girl and find the below quote from Coach Bond street store very true.
London is starting to look very Christmasy, with Oxford street light switched on last week.

I love gold nearly as pink. What an amazing colour. Can't wait for the party season and wear my Jimmy Choo wedges loads. My Michael Kors watch is an everyday essential and so is YSL bracelet.
Another quote, this time from Audrey Hepburn, doesn't need any comment. It says it all..

It's no secret that I love anything YSL. I feel naked without my arty rings, love my bracelet, handbag and own quite a lot make-up too. Their Top secrets primer is my can't-live-without beauty product - worth every penny!

This week I attended 15th birthday party of ECOne jewellers. Cocktails and cupcakes were on the menu and it was a fun evening :)
Currently in my scent collection: all time favourite Chanel Chance, my scent for summer Dior Addict 2, and latest obsession Valentina by Valentino. What are your favourite perfumes? Do you switch scents between seasons?
The No chips ahead top coat by Essie is a life-safer. Do you agree?
Have a stylish day.

Tim Walker: storyteller - the exhibition

If you like fashion and read fashion magazines (and considering you're reading my blog the chances are high), you've probably come across Tim Walker photography. It's likely you're a fan too. His work has graced countless pages of Vogue.
Now you're in for a treat, as Somerset House has dedicated an exhibition to him. I went to see it yesterday and it's rather good. Very insightful and inspiring, you can expect not only loads of photographs, but also oversized props and more. It's free of charge and if you get a chance I would definitely recommend you go and see it.
Photography is not allowed, but I sneakily managed to take few pics with my iPhone (hence the poor quality).
Have a stylish day.
