Spying with my little eye

I am totally in love with these gorgeous skull bracelets by Babette Wasserman. Bang on trend, they take me right back to the late 80's where I used to wear neon bracelets just like those. Although these have a modern twist, a truly lovely skull charm, which is right up my street and it's also a very eye catching detail. They look fabulous stacked up and with great colours is difficult to pick just one anyway. They are priced at £126 each in case you are wondering.

See you soon.

A new look

Hi guys,

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, enjoying the sunshine while it lasts. Here I am with my new look, a shorter and very straight hairstyle, much easier to maintain with a few inches gone. Although is not a dramatic change, I am still getting used to it. It almost seems that the clothes change slightly when your hairstyle changes, so I think this very blunt look is perfect for today's outfit, a little black dress which despite the colour, still very comfortable because it's so light and loose. I have posted pictures of this dress before but I couldn't wait to wear it with my bare legs to show off it's asymmetrical style.

To spice things up, I am wearing this clutch which is one of new addictions! I have had it for a few months and I can't believe how often I am actually wearing it. It has an amazing colour, a fantastic shade of coral which is totally gorgeous and it's envelope design is elegant yet practical, with a decent size to carry everything I need.

Hope you enjoy.







I was wearing: Dress + Necklace: H&M, Clutch: Jigsaw, Shoes: Urban Outfitters.

I love a bit of thrifting

Hello everyone,
I am so happy to be posting another summer look for you. An outfit I wore a few days ago, when I was on my way to the hairdressers. I really liked this look but it's something a bit different for me. I am saying that because I am wearing a shirt, which made me feel all grown up, laughs. The best thing about this outfit is that the shirt and the shorts are both from Topshop but were in fact bought at a second hand shop, for £3 each. The shirt is a size 14 (I am a size 10) but I quite like the fact that looks oversized and feels so lose and fresh.






So my hair is gone, I chopped a lot off but it was really needed. I am loving my new look and I'll be posting pictures of it very soon. Stay tuned.

I was wearing: Shirt + Shorts: Topshop, Bag: Zara, Shoes: from Brazil, Sunglasses: Marni H&M.

Forever 21 -A/W Press day

Hi guys,
I am Posting some pictures of the latest Forever 21 press day, Xmas in July! Again Forever 21 has impressed me with their collection. The room was divided with three collections sort of speak, which I thought it was fabulous idea, as it really caters for all sort of tastes and styles.

Nude colours, pastel pinks, delicate sheer shirts and skirts, lace and tulle, this was truly the romantic glamorous side. Gorgeous and elegant party pieces for the festive season. The winners in my opinion are the nude sequined dress, the rhinestone and pearl peter pan necklace, pictured below is a stunner  which I totally fell in love with, and also the tweed jacket, a classic and a must have in any wardrobe.








On the other side of the room there was the dark, the real sexy kitten side of the collection. It's sexy, body con and very flirtatious. Dresses were inspired by Herve Leger and the quality of the elastic is good, this is crucial if you are going to wear something like that. Sequins were present throughout the collections, black and navy were used this time around, and metallic fabrics will be very much in again.
Winners in my opinion here are all the Herve Leger style dresses and skirt and also the black tuxedo pictured below, it has a great cut and it's a key piece too.










Finishing off with an exclusive Autumn/ Winter collection which is coming up very soon and will be available only at Bond Street, London store and to the New York store.
A capsule collection where predominant colours are black, red and gray. I would say that it has a strong 80's feeling and with some leopard print and shiny leather incorporated to it, it's a thriller all night! 







If you like anything keep an eye on your local Forever 21 as all items will be available in the store soon.

See ya.
