Bank Holiday Reading....

I got another German Vogue from my lovely boss!
It came in a cardboard sleeve which i loved! no ripped pages bent edges or grubby finger prints!!!
Also stumbled upon a discount fashion magazine stall in Chancery lane which sells out of date high fashion mags for a fraction of the price I picked up a limited edition Vogue living for 80p and the mag Phenomenon for £1 (usually £10) I will be paying many more visits!!

Incase of rain!!

The weather has turned decidedly cold of late!
I cant seem to shake my new Vivienne Westwood shoes they are SUPER cute and SUPER comfy!! Best thing I couldn't afford this month!!
Wearing skull necklace, trench skirt Zara, H&M vest top & Vivienne Westwood for Mellisa shoes.

The writings on the wall

While stalking Boudoir PR website (more on that later) I noticed they now represent Rock N Rose Jewellery so I went to have a gander at there stuff.
I will be making 2 purchases: I can't speak French necklace and the Keep calm and carry on necklace.
Very cute accessories with good price points
(Don't ask me where I picked that up "Price Points" but I likey!!)

Model of the month!

I really like Chanel Iman she looks great in all her walks - Not to mention her having the cutest name & wicked off duty style!

Tango'ed

Reiss skirt, French Connection perspex belt, D&G shoes

Everytime I try to leave.....

Dream a little dream for me.....

All completely unrealistic as I currently live in a TINY 1 bed flat however I really love these pieces and I can hope that maybe one day I could own a bed or set of doors like that!!!

Watch this space.

I think I may buy this watch come payday. I was obsessed with a D&G watch which was very similar however all the hints i dropped to my boyf fell on deaf ears and then a friend of mine after having a peak hinted to her boyf and got it for valentines day.
(Bad style etiquette on her part, no?)
Anyway this one is better, the reason I held off buying the D&G one is that it had a cream leather strap...that put me off as I hate white things that look constantly grubby and this one eliminates that as it has a metal strap.
I am in love with digital watches at the moment I also love the Nooka watches - Only thing with these is you may have difficulty reading it after a few Martinis!!
