loves of the moment.

Topshop

Sex & The City

Louis Vuitton Speedy 30

My Estee Lauder Double Wear

SJP NYC Perfume

Loving this colour, also Abercrombie hoodies.

Christian Louboutin's red soles.

Just a few of the things that I'm loving at the moment. Some of them are way too far-fetched for me, the Louis Vuitton bag, the Louboutin shoes. 

But I'm enjoying dreaming about them anyway.

The Topshop top is gorgeous and really want it, just a bit difficult as I'm in the South of France and seems that the nearest Topshop is quite far away, but no harm in looking.

love love.

the famous stripes.

just something I threw on to go meet a friend. the famous black & white striped top that everybody has some variation of & some dark blue jeans, turned up at the bottom.

the 'belt' is just a piece of rope, a very handy accessory to have. I wear it as a belt, sometimes in my hair, sometimes as a necklace. versatility is a great factor for an accessory, especially when it's as simple as a piece of rope!

another new love.

my brown vintage handbag.

a bracelet kinda girl.

i'm in love with bracelets. i feel naked without them, but each one i wear has a meaning behind it, or a story. i've got two special ones at the moment:

my boyfriend bought me this one two weeks ago, to say thank you for his birthday presents. the funny thing was, i used to have one very similar that i bought on a school trip to Germany, but i'd broken it, which he didn't even know!

my pandora bracelet is very special to me, I wear it every single day. when I last saw my grandfather, he gave me some money, so together we went to the pandora shop because i'd been wanting one for ages, so although i chose it and decided what to buy, i say it's from him. his last material gift to me.

as i said, i love bracelets. i think they just complete any outfit, they give that extra something that a necklace or earrings doesn't give. 

but i am yet to accessorize my pandora.

the dress that always gets noticed.

the 'noticed' dress.

                                    

It's my mum's favourite dress of mine. in fact, everytime i wear it, I have people commenting on it. the last time was in a jewellers, a lady that was working there had a look around - which I'm assuming was to check whether her boss was near or not - and whispered in my ear "where's your dress from? it's stunning". It made me smile, a beautiful stranger, she didn't need to say anything, but she did. It made my day. Words can do that. They can mean so much.

But back to the dress - it was last season, maybe even Spring 2008. I saw it in Miss Selfridge while shopping, so I thought I'd try it on, I wasn't sure, but the friend I was with really liked it. So I thought I'd treat myself. I've never looked back, it is a nice dress. It's high necked (as you can see), and sleeveless. It's about mid-thigh length and quite tight, but the material ruffles so it is a flattering dress. But the best thing about it, is that it can be dressed up or down, can be worn with leggings or without, with a cardigan or without, with accessories or without.

But I love my accessories, bracelets the most. But for some reason, I didn't put any on today, or my necklace I usually pair with my white Miss Selfridge dress. They can make such a difference to any outfit, and the best thing is that they can be worn so many times with so many different things to change the look slightly.

So this is me, today. Me & my mum's favourite dress.

Oh, and the mirror. That's my latest addition to my bedroom, my lovely boyfriend got it for me. It's beautifully vintage and really makes my room look so much different - all from a little mirror hey. Like I said - it's all about the accessories.
