rick owens - the great basics

A new collection of Rick Owens' clothes just arrived at net-a-porter and I love it all. It's the great basics that will go with whatever you've got in your wardrobe already and give it a new lease of life. There is everything you may need, including a pair of great wedge ankle boots, which I love for their comfort, without compromising style, beautiful dresses, that can be dressed up or down and some amazing biker jackets to add the perfect final touch. Everything so wearable and you can keep it simple or add some colourfull accessories, depending on your mood. Exactly the kind of clothes I want. So hurry up before it's all gone.
Have a stylish day.

purple rain



As I said before I have a thing for all things pink, especially fuchsia and raspberry. Although I have never been into purple. This has of course changed recently. Im becoming obsessed with the cool new colour and it's easy to see why. Not only are the shops packed with all different shades, but also the magazines promote it a lot and many fashionistas wearing it. It is THE colour of the moment and it's hard to resist. I don't like wearing much colour in winter, as it just doesn't seem to fit. But purple is a great solution for brightening up your palette of black, grey and navy. It's suble, but can look really cool. Plus there are so many shades out there, I guarantee you will find to suit you. You can do the easy route and just pick a scarf or a hat, or layer up a top or cardie with formentioned colours. I decided to show here, to do it full on. I found these two great dresses today browsing in Topshop on Oxford street. Both dresses have interesting shoulders which another trend I love. One shouldered dress is a timeless classic. It's very flattering to any shape and looks more expensive. With the second dress I love the sequin detail. Its very now, following the 80's trend. Both look amazing and can be dressed down for the day or dressed up for the evening. Just add opaque tights some killer ankle boots and you're ready to go.
Have a stylish day.

There are so many amazing styles around it's not easy to pick. But when you do, the hard work is over. Because your legs are making a statement already, you should keep the rest simple, so just a nice jersey top or a dress is enough. Keep the accessories to a mininum as well. Although don't forget a great pair of shoe-boots or ankle boots, because with the attention to the bottom half of your body, the pressure is on. So here we found the perfect solution for the cold weather, plus they can be a cheap way how to update your wardrobe. Stay glamorous and warm, without spending a fortune.

shoe addict


A girl can never have too many pairs of shoes. Just look at Carrie Bradshaw - she is a good example and an excuse for all of us shoe addicts. Not many things get me as excited as a new pair of footwear. And there are so many types, you have to have at least one pair of each. Like shoeboots, ankle boots, knee lengh, thigh high, sandals, stilletos, ballet pumps, brogues and the list goes on..I am a big fan of wedges for running around but nothing beats a pair of high heel strappy sandals that will lift any party outfit. With Christmas season upon us, there's a great excuse to treat your feet to these gorgeous beauties from Dune (available in their stores as well as online). Not only will you sparkle at any Christmas do and beyond, they will look great with a nice strappy greek style dress in the summer, releasing your inner goddess. Beautiful and practical!
Have a stylish day.

love at first sight - by DvF


I love pink! You can probably tell from my blog anyway, but I thought I'd confirm it. I wear a lot of black and white, but pink has a special place in my heart. Usually I accossorize with pink to add a hint of colour to an outfit. Add a nice pink clutch to a simple LBD and it lifts it up straight away. There are so many possibilities and I think if you find the right shade, pink suits everyone. Even a nice pink lipstick when you're feeling down, is guaranteed to cheer you up. So you can imagine how excited I was when I found the above dress. This leather number is by Diane von Furstenberg and available where else than net-a-porter.com (another of my loves). The colour is perfect, as is the cut. Very flattering and great for the party season. This time I suggest very simple accessories, like black clutch, black ankle boots or sandals and a big cocktail ring. There you go, another great outfit sorted. Have a stylish day.

Roland's rainbow



I remember the first time I heard about Roland Mouret. His dresses caused a stir and I could see why. The cut of his clothes just does wonders to a woman's body, creating a beautiful silhouette. They are very elegant and timeless, perfect for when you need to look smart and show that you mean business! When I saw pictures of The Rainbow Project launched by net-a-porter.com I felt really excited. It's a collection of mini dresses and mini skirt suit in bright colours, which are very now! I'd say it's a younger version of his classic style. They are fun and flirty and perfect for the coming party season. And so versatile. You can wear them now with opaque tights and some sexy ankle boots or keep them for the warmer months, just add a tan and nice sandals. Another good thing is that, because the colour is already making a statement you don't need many accessories. Just put them on and you're ready to go. I say snap some fast before they're gone and enjoy the attention. Another exclusive on the net - RM by Roland Mouret available now. Have a stylish day.
