Outfit inspiration - mix and match

Today I decided mix and match more different brands and also re-use few items. This outfit is party ready, I fell in love with that sequinned top and built the rest around it. Decided to go for black skinnies, as that's such a wardrobe staple and everyone probably owns a pair. Pink accessories are really me. Love the necklace for amazing price and those shoes are too very pretty. And I can't get enough of animal print.. What do you think?

FFG X Coach party

As I mentioned earlier today, yesterday I attended a very special launch party thrown in for Emily Johnston from Fashion Foie Gras and a tote bag she exclusively designed for Coach. Fashion industry has a bitchy reputation, but I'm happy to confirm that Emily is a very sweet girl. And her party was hot! (including the waitress). I went with Camilla of Two feet ahead and we took the advantage of free champagne and free photo booth to the full. It was a fun night, launching a fab bag (see the pics below, including me "modelling" it). I met some lovely people and it was definitely a night to remember!

Jewellled Wednesday by Coach

Yesterday I had a great pleasure to attend launch of Emily's from Fashion Foie Gras launch for a bag she helped to design with Coach, but more about that later. For now let's concentrate on the jewels. Coach are a well known American brand with rich history, making high quality leather bags and other goods. I have to admit I didn't know much about their jewellery line, but it's definitely worth checking out. They've recently opened a new UK store on London's Bond Street, where the said event took place, and I managed to snap some pictures of the goods. I was swooning over the amazing cuffs, rings and I especially loved the necklaces. I'll be going back! They are perfect pieces that may be nice Christmas present or just a treat for yourself. If you're in that area (or Westfield where they have another store), make sure you pop in and check it out. You'll like what you find.
Have a stylish day.

Outfit inspiration

For today's outfit I chose a skirt that is a wee bit pricy from net-a-porter.com because I really liked it, but don't worry if you can't afford it, I used a similar gold one last week. I tried to keep the rest fairly simple so picked everything else from H&M.

H&M's other collaboration

Compared to the hype of H&M X Versace collaboration, there's been relatively no press coverage about another, smaller, upcoming collaboration. And this one I am actually very excited about. When I first heard about Versace I couldn't wait to see it, but in the end it wasn't really me. I loved one (pink studded) dress but wouldn't queue up for it. To be honest, when there's too much hype about something, it tends to put me off.
That's one of the reason why I'm excited about the Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou limited collection, not only much less people seem to know or talk about it, the minimalistic designs are more my style. Full of timeless classics in mostly creams and blacks with gold accents and simple cuts, those are versatile pieces, wardrobe basics every woman should own. I can't wait to hit Selfridges, the only place that will be selling those exclusively, on Thursday November 24th when the collection comes out. I'm interested to see the prices and am glad that queues are unlikely. I shall report back to you.
Have a stylish day.

Let your earrings do the talking

Yesterday I realised, I haven't bought a pair of earrings for ages. The reason being I haven't worn any for some time. But that's a shame, because earrings are a great accessory! So I decided to have a look what's on offer and get some. And to make it fair, I've picked something for every budget. The first selection is from net-a-porter.com and the other from Topshop.com. Both equally pretty, there's not excuse not to add some shine to your outfits this festive season thanks to sparkly earrings. Now the tough decision is which ones to pick. Which are your favourite?
