Well hello again!

It's been a while since I blogged last but I'm glad to be back. I missed it! Life just seemed to got in a way a bit, but I always knew I wanted to get back to it. For now I'll be blogging every Friday and eventually add more days.  I would love to know what you think!

I hope you've been enjoying sweater weather and all the sunshine we've been having lately in London.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on my outfit and return.

 

 

 

 

Have a stylish day.

Autumn stories

 Shopping in Zara wearing new Zara gilet, love navy and pink together, pink details, at a launch party with Rosie Fortescue (from Made in Chelsea), gold everything, bundled up in a Missoni scarf, favourite YSL clutch and new(ish) favourite Loubies , when autumn comes I tend to wear a lot more black (adding a pop of pink with a scarf or other accessories), outfit for a lunch with a friend.

 

Outfit I wore to a friend's baby Christening: from the top, laid out and accessories, burgundy is my must have colour during fall, Halloween ready, minimal make up using Nars Multiple, Sunday dinner at Burger and Lobster with my friends, all black everything (love this top that I had for ages from H&M), coffee with friends.

 

Gotta love a pink lipstick ;), I've been living in jeans on my days off, my nude Loubies were the best buy ever (they literally go with everything), Christmassy nails already (I'll be having a lot of fun with this Deborah Lippmann set), jeans again but much more casual outfit, trip to the Natural History museum, sneak peek of my bedroom, glammed up for a Christening, weekendwear (the pink leather has been on serious repeat).

 

Have a stylish day.

Summer stories

Lately I've been so busy what with a full time job, blogging 5 days a week, moving to a new place and much more.. so it's nice to find time to relax and catch up on fashion mags. Spotted these gorgeous pair of Louboutins in Harvey Nichols and they are high on my lust list, gold favourites, sneak peek of my new bedroom (love the mirror which I got for next to nothing and painted gold), pink roses on my new mantel piece, minimal summer look, this Summer I'm loving new coconut frappucino (I've had too many already..), pink makes me happy, buying Diptyque candles for my new place.

 

Pink roses for my new bedroom, can't get enough of gold and dainty rings are my latest obsession, effortless summer look - obsessed with stripes, few favourites, working from bed before my furniture arrived, pool time - can Summer stay forever?!, nautical selfie, obsessed with my Valentino shoes - I need more!, make up bits I've been wearing lately.

Have a stylish day.

Neon toes

 You may have seen my birthday shoes first time here. I'd been wanting a pair of Christian Louboutin for ages and when I saw these reduced at half price I couldn't resist. They are rather bright and make a statement of their own, so I kept the rest quite simple. They are 80mm so super comfy - perfect for summer :)
Are you loving neon?

 

 Shoes Christian Louboutin, bag Clarins, shorts and top H&M, sunglasses Dior, earrings New look, watch Michael Kors, rings YSL and H&M.

Have a stylish day.

Life lately

Sporting monochrome in my most liked instagram ever (by far!),  watermelon is my favourite fruit and I'm glad its season started :), channelling pastel nails thanks to Chanel May, favourite pink bits, breaking in my new Loubies, black accessories, enjoying new Elle and watermelon season, coffee and blogging break, bright lips selfie.

 

Happy hump day! How is it Wednesday already? Not that I'm complaining.. It's been a good week so far so let's hope it will continue to be so. I'm mostly excited about watermelon season being here (rock'n'roll I know..). And also about the super sunny weather :)

What are you excited about?

Have a stylish day.

Life lately

My favourite picture from the Met ball - pink perfection (whose outfit did you like the best?), best way to relax is to read fashion magazines right?, enjoying ice cream weather:), finally added a pair of Louboutins to my shoe collection, floaty summery outfits and breaking in new Valentino sandals, Spring is without a doubt my favourite season full of beautiful flowers, new Miu Miu bag has finally arrived!, few beauty favourites, enjoying making little trips (latest ones into mountains). 

 

Last week was totally amazing for me. All the main things I've ordered with my birthday money have finally arrived and I not only I went for a little getaway, I planned couple more. Exciting times ahead :)

How's your May so far?

 

Have a stylish day.

Shoe or a bag girl?

* these are more neon pink/orange shade in reality but it wouldn't show in a photograph
 

They say you are either a shoe girl or a bag girl. I'm still not sure what category I fall into..

For my birthday in March I got nice sum of money and wanted to splurge it all on a nice designer handbag and possibly my first pair of Louboutins (your shoe collection isn't complete until you own at least a pair and they were missing..). In the end I bought 2 pairs of designer shoes (Valentino sandals seen here and the above), Miu Miu cross-body bag (they are my latest obsession) and few other bits. I got it all on various sales (these above were a steal at the Outnet - my favourite site to score designer bargains) and I got loads more for my money.

I still want that new designer tote and loads more shoes. So what does that make me? (apart from a spendaholic...)
Which are you?

 

Have a stylish day.

Summer sandals for every occasion (wishlist)

pink sandals, white flat, navy with bow, nude wedges, colourblock strappy sandals, pink with bow, pink strappy wedges, zebra sandals

With the weather getting warmer and warmer, all I've been thinking about is adding some sandals to my summer wardrobe. Whilst most some of these are out of my budget, it's nice to see what's in stores, get an inspiration and the plan is to get few pairs soon. Bring on sandal weather :)
Which pair is your favourite?

Have a stylish day.

InstaMonday

 

1. Designer shoes are my weakness. These were my options for NYE. Valentino and Jimmy Choo are my faves, but really want to add Christian Louboutin to my collection this year (hopefully for my birthday in March)

2. Like Carrie Bradshaw, I like my money right where I can see it. In my wardrobe. Which has been newly tidied and reorganised. Looking forward to spring and shedding layers and wearing lots of colour.

3. There's never enough sparkle. Got these earrings in New look for £2 and love them! This girl likes a bargain :)

4. January and February are my least favourite months, so I will spend probably many evenings watching SATC with a glass of red. Just like Friends, you can never watch SATC too many times.

5. #tbt 21st February 2011 was a day that made history. Burberry decided to screen their catwalk show on the screen at Picadilly Circus and I was there to witness it. Now everyone is live streaming, but that was special! Wearing Jonathan Saunders dress.

Can you believe another London Fashion week is nearly here?!

 

Have a stylish day.

Leopard wishlist

skirt River Island, Iphone case, Valentino rockstuds, Topshop jumper, DvF clutch, Forever 21 scarf, Christian Louboutin pumps, Too faced bronzer

 

I'm literally obsessed with all things leopard at the moment. You may have already seen couple of looks I wore and there will be more. And maybe if I get lucky, I'll find some of these under the Christmas tree.

Are you loving leopard?

 

Have a stylish day.

Christmas wishlist

 

With Christmas fast approaching, I started thinking about what I'd like to find under the tree. This is a rather expensive list, but if you dream you may as well dream big.

 

For me this is the ultimate fashion book. Tom Ford is my hero and every fashionista should have this.

Wrap up in this stylish jumper during Christmas holidays and you'll be warm and trendy.

Every girl needs a little sparkle. This pretty necklace is rather well priced and such a beauty.

Miu Miu bags are probably my favourite. So many I want!

Blush pencil skirt will take you through many Christmas parties and beyond.

Christian Louboutin shoes are still missing from my collection. I think this classic nude pair would be the perfect start.

What are you hoping to find under the Christmas tree?

 

Have a stylish day.

Friday's wishlist - shoes

Spring is (slowly) making an appearance and what better excuse to add some new shoes to your wardrobe. All of these would make a great addition. I am sucker for Jimmy Choos. If money was no object, I'd only buy shoes there. What is your favourite shoe brand?

1.) H&M sandals
2.) Zara sandals
3.) ASOS clear wedges
4.) Jimmy Choo metallic pumps
5.) Christian Louboutin Pigalle flats
6.) Jimmy Choo strappy sandals

Have a stylish day.

InstaMonday

1. I finally went to see the Valentino exhibition at Somerset house (it's amazing and if you've not seen it go - it finishes March 3). I took a sneaky picture of one of the dresses. How amazing is it?! 

2. Christian Louboutin shop window on Mount street in London. Shoes heaven.

3. One day last week I came home to a lovely surprise. New dressing table :) There's many more things on it now and I love it!

4. New bottle of Valentina by Valentino. My 3rd bottle since September. It's my fave along with Chanel Chance.

5. My ideal evening these days is spent catching up on fashion monthlies. Cara Delevigne looks super cool on the cover of Vogue.

Have a stylish day.

Friday's wishlist: V-day edition

Whether you're single or loved up, it's good to be prepared for V-day. You never know when Cupid may strike ;) And all of these will serve you well even after Feb 14th.

1.) Christian Louboutin shoes from Net-a-porter.com
2.) Miu Miu wallet
3.) DVF IPhone case
4.) Dior eyeshadows
5.) Corilynn chevron skirt
6.) Chanel nail polish

Have a stylish day.

Party feet - by Christian Louboutin

My latest obsession (alongside pink) is python print. I can't get enough of it, and I've been buying it on anything. From handbags, to clothes and of course shoes. My latest discovery is this absolutely gorgeous pair by Christian Louboutin from Net-a-porter. I love how the splashes of colour add an interesting twist to the design. They are on top of my birthday wish list (coming later this month). You can buy them here.
Have a stylish day.

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.

Christian Louboutin sketches

Beautiful sketches? Check. Shoes? Check. Red sole? Check! So you're planning to go to see THE Christian Louboutin exhibition (all the details here), you can't wait to buy the special edition shoes and now you can see sketches of the collection before it even comes out. Lovely people from Louboutin will be sharing them on facebook and here's a little preview. How amazing. I can't wait to see the rest. The 20th anniversary collection is coming out Feb 27th. The countdown is on!
Have a stylish day.

Bargain hunting Part 1 - Wardrobe Mistress

I tweeted last week about a dress that I found on two different websites at very different prices. It got me thinking. It really pays to shop around, as you can save yourself a lot of money. There are times when you don't have to be loyal and this is it. Yes you may spend more time searching, but with the money you save, you can maybe buy an extra item too :). Fortunately there are some sites that help with your search for a bargain and alo sites that "just" sell bargains. So I decided to run a feature over few coming days, introducing my fave ways to save money, but still buy great stuff.
Starting with Wardrobemistress.co.uk . When I was introduced to this by lovely Tanya at Push PR press day, I was hooked straight away. What the lady behind the site does, is a wardrobe detox for her clients and the stuff that's left unwanted, is then sold at the website. She does of course much more and you can read about it on the site. But for now let's concentrate on the treasures you can discover. If you're wondering, yes most of the stuff is pre-worn or used, but some of it very barely used and all is in good condition. The best bit is the amazing reductions. I'm talking Louboutin shoes for as low as £80. Unfortunately most of them too small for me, but I keep checking regularly, because new goods are arriving all the time. The handbag and shoes selection is absolutely incredible, as well as the clothes to be honest. It's kind of a "vintage shopping" from the comfort of your home. And much cheaper, actually. So if you like a good bargain, do check Wardrobe mistress now and don't forget to come back, for more features how to shop and save money.
Have a stylish day.
