A forgotten gift

Hi guys,


What a sunny, beautiful and hot day it has been. I went for a quick stroll down the Portobello market, which was reasonably quiet. Easter weekend is one of times of the year that a lot of people leave London, and sometimes is the best time to shop and have a good look around.

As I was getting ready, I was very much delighted for coming across this little bag, just what I was looking for and I found it right on my bag 'box'! My mum gave me this one a couple of years back and I had completely forgotten about it. It's just such an easy little bag, made of suede and leather with the perfect size for my sunnies case, wallet, phone and keys.


A basic black dress is always present on my Summer wardrobe, by the way I have just got a new maxi dress from Zara, which I will show you soon...


Dress: From Gap -found on a second hand shop, Hat and Belt: Jigsaw, Rings: H&M, Shoes: Clarks, Sunglasses: Chanel, Bag: from Brazil.

See you soon.

Pink and purple

Hi guys,

A colourful outfit post. Pink and purple are some of my favourite colours and are perfect for the sunnier days that we have been having in London.
The Navajo poncho is proving to be great at this time of the year as it's still cozy and protective against the wind and not very heavy. In fact, I have just bought a third poncho a few days ago (if you follow me on Twitter you already know it) from Topshop, it was on sale for £18, I just had to have it.









I was wearing, Poncho: Asos, Top: Religion, Leggings: Primark, Shoes: from Brazil and Bag: from Florence.

Witches

Hi guys,

I hope to be back to normal on the blog this week. I have been having a different routine, working until late and slowly everything is falling into places. Today's outfit post was inspired by a modern witch. A mix of romanticism, crucifixes, paganism and raw stones.




I was wearing: Camisole: vintage, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood, Shoes: Melissa, Belt: Zara.

See you soon.

Posing for street style at LFW

Hi guys,

A different street style post today... This picture of me was taken by Nathan Menary at London fashion week for his street style page.
It was day 1 at London fashion week and I was wearing boots, trousers and bag all by Vivienne Westwood with my Zara coat. It was interesting to have other people taking my picture for a change and I must say I was very flattered when I got asked.

Diy Leather harness

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Today's outfit is a mixture of re-inventing my old accessories in a new punkish way. Two very simple ideas to transform your accessories with an easy peasy DIY.
Every good girl can be bad sometimes and I suppose it's what this outfit is all about. Mini skirt, leather, chains, creativity and attitude, take a pinch of each and I am ready to go out.


So, you guys already know that I love to wear leather harnesses but they are so hard to come across as well as expensive. Last week, while browsing through the blogsphere, I came across a beautiful dress from All Saints, which has an amazing leather harness on it. The dress itself is very simple, just a mini tube of a knit fabric (which I believe it wouldn't last you long anyways). I was thinking if I did buy it, I would be buying just for the harness really, but costing £130 I don't think I'll go even near it. So, I had the idea to DIY a very simple but effective leather harness by just wrapping this long belt from Zara across my body and I loved how it come out!




I wanted to try this look but I have never had a pair of cool thick woollen stockings...and I still don't! These are just ordinary leg warmers, which I have pulled up to look like stockings and wearing them with the high knee boots gives them the perfect disguise. You wouldn't tell, would you?



I was wearing: Jacket: second hand (it's a kids one), Top: Sisley, Skirt: second hand from Camden Market, Belt (as a harness): Zara, Belt: Diesel, Legwarmers: Primark, Boots: Vivienne Westwood, Bag: from Brazil.

See you soon.

Colour Blocking

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Today's outfit post is a little longer than usual as it's the combination of 2 very colourful outfits I have worn this week. I definitely had colour blocking in mind, which will be a huge trend for this S/S but why not get started early?
Well, experimenting with colour is not easy or for the faint hearted but I felt really comfortable with the colour scheme I chose. I actually prefer the most colour outfit, which is number 1, it made me feel really happy throughout the day, proving that bright colours can really lift your mood.

How about you which outfit would you prefer?

A modern lady look

Hi guys,

Today's outfit is a little bit lady like with some twists. This skirt is quite funny and it's another weird Vivienne Westwood creation. On the back, it's a pair of shorts with elasticated legs, it's like that all the way around but covering it at the front you have this long piece of fabric which looks like a parachute. Once, I was walking on the street when a lady came shouting behind me 'excuse me, excuse me' and I was like 'hi' and she said, 'your skirt got stuck on your knickers (!)' and I was laughing saying 'no, no it's supposed to be like that'...
To avoid this effect nowadays I wear it differently like you can see here, all scrunched up and shorter so it's not a huge contrast!
I teamed it up with a pair of lace up wedges and a sequined jacket and being all lady like I am wearing this huge pearl necklace, which was another Xmas gift and a vintage snakeskin bag.

All my pictures were taken with my new Samsung Wave II phone, recently sent to me courtesy of Samsung for the NOW project, which I will tell you all about tomorrow.

Jacket: Topshop, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood, Wedges: Zara, Bag: Portobello Market, Rings; Primark and Vivienne Westwood.

Lovely gifts and new buys

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well, catching up with you all I have an outfit post which is a mixture of gifts and new buys.

Well, let me start with this cool leopard leggings, they were a Xmas gift from my boyfriend's grandad! I find amazing how he chooses some really modern stuff that suits me. Keeping this look rock and roll, I paired them up with a skull T shirt and a soft asymmetric waterfall leather jacket.

I am also proud to share some of my latest rings because I have had my eyes on them both for a while. The big black one, which is another huge druzy stone was another beloved Xmas gift and the crow skull one is one of my latest buys, which I am very happy with.

I hope you enjoy!

White shoes can be very controversial! I never imagined owing a pair but I choose these ones for the Sarenza contest last year and I must say I love them very much.

I was wearing: Jacket: Bought from a friend, T shirt: Vivienne Westwood, Belt: Portobello Market, Leggings: Zara, Shoes: Sarenza / Buffalo, Rings : Asos and Galibardy.

See you soon.

Topshop aviator jacket

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Today's outfit post is also a new buy, which I could not resist!
Well, it all started a couple of weeks ago, when I passed by Topshop and started browsing through the sales racks. I saw some of these aviator sheepskin jackets but I was not on spending mood that day, so I didn't really look for one in my size to try it on. A couple of days later, I found a gift card for Topshop with full credit on it and like magic, the spending mood truly came back to me. I desperately needed of one these jackets as soon as possible!

They had it in 2 different finishes, one was black suede and the other was grey leather and the latter was the one I wanted! The question was would they have it in my size with the end of sales going at full swing?
That night, I checked on the website and they had it but I wasn't sure if the size was gonna be right and if I could add my voucher as part of the payment, so I waited until the next day and checked on the website again. Unfortunately the grey ones had already sold out, luckily I was near Topshop and managed to go there pretty early in the day. I managed to find one in my size and happily bought it.

The timing has been perfect, as it is getting very cold and it is freezing in London. I can't get enough of it and I have worn it for many days in a row. Today, I went for a strong aviator look with some pieces borrowed from my boyfriend's wardrobe too. (cozy)










I was wearing: Jacket and Scarf : Topshop, Cardigan: from my boyfriend, Cords: Cheap Monday, Boots: second hand, Sunglasses: Ray-ban.

See you soon.
