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.

Chelsea girl

We stayed in Chelsea for quite a while, as it's such a great part of London. Plus the hotel was amazing. Can you believe the breakfasts they served?!
Needless to say my Valentino have become something of a uniform, here I am wearing them with Helmut Lang jeans, H&M peplum top, Dior sunglasses and YSL clutch.

Chelsea is just a stone throw away from Knightsbridge - I can never resist a little visit of Harrods or Harvey Nichols. That's where I picked my beloved new pink YSL clutch bag and Chanel nail polish in dark burgundy to get ready for autumn.
Have a stylish day.

Fitflop - the capsule collection

It would be easy to say something is great just because it was for free. But that's not why I'm here. I tell the truth or I'd rather say nothing at all. I was given a free pair of UNO sneakers and let me tell you, I'm not a sneaker girl. I don't own a pair of converse or any similar kind, only a pair of trainers that I strictly use for running or working out.
But now I own a pair of mink sneakers from the capsule collection by Fitflop (sold exclusively at Harvey Nichols) and I am a happy owner. They felt like a godsend during the torrential rain period, because another shoes I have been successfully avoiding are wellies. Fitflops originally started with making those type of shoes that help you make fit, but now they offer much wider range and the capsule collection is worth checking out. They are made of a special leather are the softest thing I have ever put on my feet (excluding slippers) and walking in them feels so nice I actually couldn't believe it. Now... I'm not gonna lie. As much as I love them I'm not going to magically become a sneaker girl, but I know I will get a good wear out of them, because they really are comfy and I do like the hint of pinkish colour of the sole. The selection is much bigger, so have a look and you can buy the ballerinas here and sneakers here. If you do purchase them or own them already, let me know what you think.
Have a stylish day.

Prints galore by Proffesor Weston

The extraordinary story of proffesor Richard Weston, originally an architect, whose work has taken the fashion world by the storm, continues with another successful venture. You may have heard about the Weston scarves, each printed with an image of a precious stone, that are already stocked at leading retailers such as Liberty and Net-a-Porter.com. The latest product he's got his amazing prints on are vest tops, that have just been exclusively launched at Harvey Nichols. Inspired by the natural beauty of gemstones, Richard Weston's striking products are a work of art.
Prints have been on fashion's forefront for a while now and are going nowhere. They featured heavily on the AW catwalks, so it's definitely a trend worth investing into. These beautiful tops are a good way to introduce print into your wardrobe. They are cool and will look great teamed up with skinnies and flats for a stylish day full of errands.
Have a stylish day.

Glittery nails

You may remember my post about Butter London nail polishes (if not read it again here). Out of their massive selection I picked the gold glitter one and had lots of fun with it since then. Your hands tell a lot about you and your nails should always be well groomed. I love playing with different patterns and colours, creating interesting manicures. So here are few pictures of what I've been wearing lately. The good thing about glitter is, you can either go all over or just do a pattern. Do you like these? Which is your favourite? You can buy Butter London at Harvey Nichols or at their website.

Jewelled Wednesday - by ECOne

EC One is named after a London post code, a diamond and jewellery making district. The smart people behind it run two successful stores and an online shop and have a great eye for talent. They strive to offer something unique and are always on lookout for fresh new designers. There are so many talented people selling their products there, it's actually hard to pick what to take home with you. The choices are endless!
I've mentioned quite a few of their designers before in Jewelled Wednesday, including Imogen Belfield, Lucy Hutchins and Nicholas King. Check more below and some of the amazing designs you can find there.
They really have something for everyone thanks to the varied name list. It's good to keep an eye on them even if you don't want to buy anything, to keep up with what's cool and up and coming in jewellery business. They've won quite a few awards and there's a reason behind it!

Amanda Wakeley SS'10

I used to be more of a trousers girl. I don't even know why, they just always seemed to be an easier option. But that all changed and I'm falling more and more in love with dresses. I mean they are so easy to wear! You can just throw them on, add a bit of a jewellery and you're done. And they're even easier to take from day to night. Just add heels for the evening, whilst during the day ballerinas, or when it's warmer, some sexy flat sandals will do. Perfect!
For an amazing selection of dresses look no further than Amanda Wakeley. I like the minimalistic aproach and amazing silhouettes. She's using lot of draping that is so NOW and also very forgiving (if your body is not entirely ready for summer). Check out her website Amandawakeley.com, pop into her store on London's Fulham Road or any Harvey Nichols in the country. You won't regret it!
Have a stylish day.

My perfect party outfit

In my last two blogs I wrote about the perfect dress. No matter what you go for, always make sure it fits well and you feel comfortable, because nothing spoils the evening more than you feeling nervous, constantly checking if nothing is showing that shouldn't be or so on. Here I'm gonna show you a whole outfits in style I like as this is my STYLE FILE after all. As I probably said before I like simple clothes and dressing up with accessories. My favourite colour is pink, apart from basics white, black and blue jeans. I don't wear patterns much although lately I've been into stripes. But generally I love to play with jewellery, shoes and bags. They are my obsession. So in this outfit I picked an ASOS party dress as featured yesterday, gold DUNE peeptoe shoeboots (available in Dune stores and their website), pink clutch by Alexander McQueen (sold at Harvey Nichols website) and a necklace I found very randomly on a website www.whatsabouttown.com that sells some amazing jewellery. I love pearls and this necklace just caught my eyes. So there you go. This is my dream party outfit. I hope I've given you ideas for yours. Have a stylish day.
