This Weeks Wish List.

Nice spin on a timeless classic (padded shoulders and linen)


Usually Rayon makes me feel slightly nauseas, in this case I would feel like a beached mermaid!! 
Yummy!
Espadrilles but sexier!! Love the elastic straps. Ankle ties never really work for me,
either to loose or cutting off my blood circulation


Picture it, chilly sunday evening, sipping a glass of wine in the garden silky dress starting to feel less silky more icy! Barby is cold but you won't be once your wrapped in this!


Linen Breton Top, Salmon Dress - Sandro £100 / £215
Green Wedges - Paloma Barcelo £140
Long line Cable-kint Cardi - Pringle of Scotland £895

Wonderful Wedding

I went to an amazing wedding, the lovely couple got just the day they deserved.
Sunny, warm April day, set on lovely grounds.
The whole affair bought a tear to my eye!

I débuted my Burberry Prosum dress.
This is defiantly going to be my go to dress for many years!
I like that it is navy not black and it is utterly chic with layers and layers of stiff silk.
There is a funny story behind this dress, loving found for me by my partner in crime, Frida.....

It's that time again..

Anyone who has been reading my blog since the beginning, may vaguely remember one of the first posts I ever did.
It was on my return from Paris and my great rediscover of the simple Espadrille! I had been tottering around the vintage shops in Paris in the height of summer crying out to my boyfriend in pain and trying to explain the sensation of the balls of your feet being on fire! we were in Galleries La Fayette, he promptly dragged me over to the flat shoe section and threw a cream pair of espadrilles at me! I was sold and saved in an instant!

Here are my picks for 2010!!





Mymu espadrilles £85 - £110.00 @ Net a Porter
(Mine where 20.00 EUR by the way!! May just invest in some gold fabric paint)

Sunshine, petals and leaves

Went to pick up my espresso machine on Saturday enjoyed the London sunshine then met up with my friends for afternoon tea!
I love wearing a bright eyeliner only on the bottom of the eye, it really looks cool! Urban Decay do the most striking and true to colour liners, they are nice and soft so they don't scrape like some cheaper liners.

Poor little angry dress



I picked this dress up in the Whistles sale.
Obviously no one wanted it! it had been reduced 3 times!!!!
But I loved it!  My boys at work nick named it the "angry" dress, which I found quite funny!!
Apparently the print made them feel angry!
 The print just makes me giggle because it looks like I have been attacked by a biro!!

Boat Party!!


I went to a 80's Soul boat party on the Thames.
It was a little windy up on deck but great when the sun was out.

Found! Clogs

I have not seen many clogs I like but these tick most of my boxes. By Jefferey Campbell
High, not overly fussy and structured (you need that to keep them sexy)
I think they would be nice in tan aswell!



Bit pricey!

On another note I tried on a pair of Has Beens in Topshop.....Jury is still out on that one.
(but I am sure once I see carey in them I will change my mind)
