The White Stuff

A great tip I picked up from one very house proud Italian Mama was dotting your house with diffusers.

I love a scented candle as much as the next person but they don't always smell how they smell unlit! and certainly the ones that do a very pricey! (Diptyque and DL& Co do the best ones) Also I always feel a little unsettled when burning a candle I cant see no matter where I put it and no matter how much glass is around, which means annoyingly I tend to stay/hover in that room while the candle is on.

I recently purchased a 3 set from The White Company and they smell delicious! I will definitely be investing in more!
On my many visits to Italy I saw an abundance of them they do great big jars of the stuff and in every scent you can imagine.

I am very particular about how my house smells and right now it smells too yummy!!

Bright young thing

Today I felt like I needed a colour injection.
 Although black will always be my one true love I will always have my lust for brights on the side!!
I finally found a black blazer!! it's collarless and the lapels are a mix of tuxedo and waterfall

So I am getting a bit fed up of doing silly poses smiles and giggles so the new thing for Creme De La Trend is everything (me inc.) simplified....after all I am not a model! Just a girl who likes to shop and share :0)

I hope you guys like the pics and if you don't....tough!! ;0)
But if not I am sure I will be taking fun outdoorsy shots like I used come summer!! I don't want to loose ALL my personality now do I?!

Nosey Parker!

There is nothing I like more than a good ole "here's my house" post but although I like to look at other peoples stuff I don't really want to post pictures of my private space :(
I thought it might be nice to show you a few snapshots of a few of my favourite things though!
I showed you my desk area before and now you can have a look at my dressing table / area!

Harlows House

I bought this ring in the sale at My Wardrobe a few weeks back and I have not had it off since!


Ring House Of Harlow
The stone in the middle is precious and the gold is plated! a bargain at more than half the original price!

I had a few silly guys ask me why I am wearing a coaster on my hand but, you know anyways,

"boys are stupid....throw rocks at them!"

I picked up this cute flower ring also!  I  like that it mixes gold and silver

Ring -Accessorize @ £10.00

New Mood......

Seasons are changing and so is my mood!!
Today I started working on my mood board it was feeling a little dark and moody.
 my favourite trend at the moment is Neon worked with neutrals. I am on the look out for a nice neon tee to wear with my chinos and a bright orange blazer or silk tee for my Dolce flared jeans!!
Brights work so well with my skin colour and neon's make me pop!! I am going to have fun with it so watch this space! ( I am also keeping a little eye on ice cream colours! I think they may be the under dog to watch!! (see lemon sorbet blazer with powder pink champagne fur trim on my board)

Meet me by the Mulberry bush

My very first Mulberry Bayswater!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
The colour is a high shine cracked bronze, inside it has a delicious dark brown suede -Yummy!!

Perfect for the 1970's glam summer looks (Burnt orange, jewel tones & grown up brights) and bang on with the metallic brushed golds and bronze accessories I have seen at the likes of Gucci & Louis Vuitton.
Also taking me straight into Autumn by the looks of Marc Jacobs AW collection
 (See a sneak peek below) Yay!!

Revealed!!

I am going to be doing a mega update soon! I have been under the weather of late (awwwwwww)

But I seem to be orbiting earth as we speak.......the gift of Mulberry (hint) helped me come winging back!!
I have a lot to update you guys on!!

I have been looking at my fashion twins blog (she has been SUPER busy) running around to private Anya Hindmarsh parties, the Burberry catwalk show etc etc. Anyway she posted an awesome pic of herself and I thought it was the perfect picture for her debut on Creme De La Trend......

So here she is my fashion lover muse and twin....introducing Frida :0)

Beautiful huh!!

pearly queen



While I was in paris I picked up the new Chanel shade pearl drop its super cute and great for the summer. I think I will invest in the black pearl for the foreseeable future as these days don't seem to be getting any sunnier.I had to cut my nails down though, as it didn't look so great on my super long talons

papped in paris


I have a huge post to do about my trip to paris and the LV exhibition but I am a little poorly so I am afraid it will have to wait! While I was stood stuffing my face in a patisserie I was approached by a cute girl who writes a street fashion blog. Her blog is super cute so check it out!!

One to watch - Raoul

Raoul bags. Cute chic and good price points. Singapore based brand Raoul bags are available at Harrods and Matches.
 I hope they will start to do the full collection as they do very sweet clothes as well but so far just the hardware.
