stripes.

a simple look.

loving stripes, so paired my black and white striped H&M top with some jeans and added a brown belt.

I tucked in the top for no other reason than I thought it looked better like that.

and as it was a hot day, worn simply with gold flipflops and vintage sunglasses.

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.

Sunglasses - New Look

Boots - A Coté, Paris

london town.

just chilling near leicester square earlier this summer.

my look

purple top: Topshop.

silver pendant necklace: Topshop

cream beaded necklace: vintage

underneath the purple top, I wore a peach dress, also Topshop, and black leggings.

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!

my look for today.

a shock photograph, i looked back on my camera after a day with my friends and saw this picture. thought i'd upload it to show you my favourite cardigan of the moment. it's vintage, it seems like we're all loving vintage clothes at the moment, and why not, hey? the scarf brings a bit of pattern to this outfit, that's borrowed from a friend, but it's a Topshop special.

I paired these two items with a simple cream t shirt & a grey skirt, and to keep it simple I just added some black tights. & then worn with my River Island boots that I've done a previous post on. I hope you like this look, but whatever you think, please leave me comments because I'm new to this whole blogging thing & really value your lovely opinions.xo

another new love.

my brown vintage handbag.

my newest love.

this is them, my latest purchase. Miss KG sugar ankle boots, in peach and in grey. I loved them so much that I had to get both colours. i'm definitely a little bit excited by them. i wear boots all the time, as you may have seen in one of my previous blogs, so it was a perfect find. 

ELLE m'inspire.

Elle MacPherson, elle m'inspire.

What a flawless woman, with a gorgeous figure and amazing hair. Effortlessly making a simple black dress look a million dollars. I hope I'll look half as good as her at 47, a real role model to me, and I think most girls. She is so natural and sweet, yet flawlessly beautiful. A real inspiration, but remember - individuality is the key to beauty.

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.
