The peak of this-season

Fresh from the Burberry Runway, these understated peaked straw hats with pom poms are going to be a hit this season. 

These hats remind me of a jockey's hat.....think Jockey's hat / summer straw hat and knitted winter pom pom beanie and this is what you get!!!

 I'm a hat lover and I actually really like these hats but at £250 - £275 I won't be rushing out to buy one just yet...

Everyone needs a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses as they really are the most iconic sunglasses.
The original Ray-Ban wayfarers have been around for a while now and will be around for a long, long while to come due to the classic, timeless design.


Following on from the continued success of the original wayfarers, a folding option has just been released and I for one, can't wait to get a pair!!

Illamasqua polish in the shade "rare"

American Apparel's neon  range

Neon nails are a must for this season and a perfectly polished neon nail will keep you on trend this spring summer.

I'm so in love with the illamasqua yellow polish in the shade "rare" and seen as i've reached my 100,000 blog views, think I may just have to treat myself to it...............any excuse for a treat!!!!

The Writing's on the wall

As you can see, I love my belts!
The latest belt I've added to my collection is the pale tan and gold Marni belt, which I got from the outnet.com at a bargain price. The Moschino belt is probably one of the most coveted belts around and I think it will continue to look classic for more seasons to come. The "Roy" belt is by J&M Davidson and was purchased from mywardrobe.com a few years back.

Aside from these modern belts, I have a stunning collection of vintage belts which over the years I have sourced from charity and vintage shops.

Accessories can make an outfit so it's good to have a selection of the key accessories of a belt, jewellery (statement necklace, bangles / cuff, earrings) & bags to play around with. 


Neon, is going to be big for this spring/summer season so for those who don't feel comfortable rocking the latest neon skinny jeans trend, opt for a neon clutch, neon nails or a chunky neon cuff instead!





 

Goodies from Mulberry, Christian Louboutin & Sleeprollers

Well, after a hard-day's work it was great to go back to these treats that the mailman delivered for me:-

When these sleep-in rollers promised "goodbye sleepless nights, hello great hair", how could I resist! I've been using the standard velcro rollers that have the thick plastic insides so these pretty pink soft rollers should be so much more light and more comfortable in my hair. I can't wait to test these out and will update you on the results as soon as I do.

My mum actually managed to get me this gorgeous little tote bag as a surprise!
I'm not quite sure how she did it but thanks mum, I love it.

 

Christian Louboutin Tattoos.

These are a limited edition piece for the 20th anniversary of Christian Louboutin and available from the Louboutin pop-up store in Selfridges, London.

Again, these are a surprise gift from my mum! She knows I love limited edition pieces like this.

I'm delighted with all my new bits and bobs.

My new accessory

Last week I was really excited to discover boticca.com
On the Boticca site you will find thousands upon thousands of beautiful unique jewelry & accessories from newly discovered designers from all over the world. I loved searching through the site looking at all the amazing unique gifts and jewels but for me, the piece that stood out was the leather cape as pictured above. My amazing finacee treated me to this for a valentines day gift although today it arrived and I couldn't contain my excitment and had to open the perfectly packaged box. The cape is handcrafted from buttery soft leather so sits so comfortable on. I will wear this over plain tanks, T-shirts etc and will wear it both draped over my shoulder with the ribbons hanging naturally and buttoned up with the ribbon tied in a pretty box at the back. I love this piece as its so unusual and unique which makes it all the more special to me.
The cape is by the designer Maison d'us Q from the Netherlands. The designers also have beautiful leather bags and belts but it was the cape that I had to have!!

So a big thank you to my amazing fiancee for buying me the most amazing valentines day gift. X

 

Bring on Pay Day!

Why does January payday feel like it's never going to come?! After all the expense over Christmas & New Year it can't come quick enough!

Anyway, when it does eventually arrive these are a few things I will be treating myself too:-

HD Brows Palette

Just before New Year I got my HD Brows done at the salon. I'm so pleased with the results although it will take a few sessions for my Brows to be perfect. During my treatment, the beautician used the HD Brows palette to fill in any gaps in my brows.
I think to keep up the perfectly groomed "fresh out the salon" look I need to invest in this palette. At under £20 it's good value and you can also use this for creating a smokey eye too!

 

Sensi Studio Panama hat

I love hats and have been searching for the perfect panama hat for wearing on my honeymoon this year. Today I came across this lovely panama hat by Sensi Studio. The simple thing I like best about this hat is the bright pop of neon yellow ribbon contrasting against the neutral hat. This will keep my head protected from the sun and will look fab with my new bikini's on the beach.

This hat is available from Matchesfashion.com and is also available with a bright pink ribbon too.

By night, this Topshop chiffon placket shirt will look great tucked into either a leather pencil skirt or over leather-look leggings and by day look gorgeous over a pair of denim cut-off shorts. Be aware, this shirt runs large to size so you may wish to go a size or two down than normal.


Bring on pay day!!!

Walking in Wolford

I have to say, when I left school (many years ago now), the thing I loved most was not having to wear the horrible school tights again! I really did hate wearing tights, total opposite to my mum who would wear a pair in every design / shade under the sun!

I'm still not a huge tights fan but every now and then a nice design will catch my eye. 2 years ago  it was the Henry Holland Suspender print tights I fell for then last season it was the Wolford Bondage design tights, and tonight, it's these "Cheryl" Houndstooth Wolford patterend tights I love (only in the Sahara/black shade).
