Summer Breeze

Oh wow, I didn't realise that I had fallen so behind on my outfit posts! But hey it's better to have them out there than to not post them right? I cannot express how obsessed I am with this Topshop skirt. When I first saw it on the advert campaign I didn't think it would be a skirt that would flatter my huge hips but when I saw it in the shop I had to give it a try. The print was too mouthwatering not to give a chance. I ultimately knew that the matching bralet wouldn't be a go for me so I left that to the more adventurous and smaller boobed Topshop girl! The skirt and me immediately bonded in the changing room and I strode out happily beating the wide hiped gods! I knew this would be the perfect outfit to wear for the boyfriends birthday because it is an easy dress up-dress down kinda skirt. Plus it embodies the whole SS14 Dior look! I know that you'll see this skirt again in the winter paired with a crisp shirt!

It was easy to know straight away that I would use my Celine Trio in lipstick to match the skirt. I have been a Trio fan for a while now and I cannot emphasis how brilliant they are and perfect for day to night looks. Plus the practicality of them is perfection. I definitely recommend adding one of these to your handbag wardrobe. 

My Eiffel Tower sandals from Charlotte Olympia are still going strong! If someone had told me last year that I would wear these so much, I would of tried to find a second pair. As shoes that have been worn to death go, I expect these to last one more summer before having to take its place under my bed to rest for special occasions. I will not dwell on their impending retirement. I won't. 

You all know how much I love my Dior sunnies. These have been my go to all season and probably forever, This even counts for my Chanel Paris- Dallas pieces. This necklace is currently my favourite along with my giant silver one from the dallas collection. I always check jewellery in Chanel and evaluate their vintage value in the future. Not all Chanel jewellery is a good idea post season.

Valentino Lovin'

Evening all,

Sorry for the late post guys but I am back and hopefully going to up how many posts I do a week. Must start kicking my own arse into gear.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, mine involved celebrating my middle brother Nazume's 31st birthday.

As a lot of you all know Valentino is one of my favourite brands. It really captures the girly side of my personality and on top of that I get the best Valentino luck (About time, it took me a whole year to find my first pair of Rockstud flats!!!!!) how you say? Well i found my second pair of Rockstuds in the outlet, a dress for £50, A pair of brogues in the same outlet, gloves and my find last week was an incredible silk scarf in TKMaxx! Yep the Valentino gods are in my favour.

Valentino Silk Scarf £69.99 TKMaxx

Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats.

I'm clearly not the only person who loves Valentino. The brands reputation is continually on the up every season. Delivering with impeccable collection through Runway and Haute Couture, it's no wonder the Valentino space in Harrods had a new upgrade, collections in various stores have increased and Selfridges has dedicated the old Louis Vuitton space on the ground floor to Valentino as it's first pop up in that location. It is a great way to kick off a new concept of pop up stores on the ground floor in the accessories department with the hottest fashion house at the moment. 

It was incredible to see the transformation from Louis Vuitton to Valentino in the space of 2 weeks. Bravo Selfridges. So here is a look inside the space…

I am absolutely in love with the neon selection for cruise. It really makes the classic bags fun. My favourite had to be the mini rock stud bag. On the Christmas list for sure!

The pop up also has the new camouflage collection which was a part of the Terry Richardson for Valentino campaign. 

The packaging is absolutely genius. I want a piece just for the camouflage box or dust bag. Simple needs ay?

Here are a few other Valentino pieces which are on my list…

Has anyone popped into the new pop up space in Selfridges? Anyone have any Valentino pieces on their Christmas list? I would love to hear what you guys have on your list! 

Thanks for reading guys! 

Lots of love

Boo! It's nearly Halloween.

Evening all,

I cannot believe we are so close to Halloween now. I feel like this year has gone too fast and that too many people are talking about the big C. Christmas. I am a big fan of the day but I'm not the kinda person who will countdown to the day, it always makes me feel like we are wishing our months away especially as it's the end of the year. But let's put that to the side. I love how Halloween is getting bigger and bigger in the UK.

In recent years when Halloween is mentioned to me i always think of the How i Met Your Mother episode with the slutty pumpkin...

 It is such an American/student holiday but we seem to be embracing it more and more each year. Even fashion is taking to Halloween too.

Enter the insanely talented Charlotte Dellal. This woman knows shoes. Charlotte Olympia the go to shoe for us ladies who love a good gimmick on our feet, embraces holiday seasons. Last year the brand created a successful Christmas collection.

This season.....it's going spooky all in the name of Halloween. I love Charlotte Olympia. Even the campaign is spooky glamorous.

I love this collection so much,

Batty for Pandora- £795

Bite Me Kitty Flats- £495

Pumpkin clutch £395

Desire Bat print suede pumps- £545

Fancy Bat clutch- £395

Midnight Dolly Bat Embroidered- £695

Nocturnal Heels- £745

Sucker for Pandora Perspex Clutch- £995

Trick or Treat flat- £495

Vampira Heels- £975

Web Clutch- £325

I am so obsessed with this collection, it  doesn't take a lot for me to be obsessed with anything Charlotte Olympia produces (Oh god cannot wait to blog about the SS14 under the sea collection presentation) so i had to feature the whole Halloween collection. I love the spooky take on the Dolly heels, our favourite kitty turning into a vampire and the famous lips heels showing us those sexy fangs and luscious red pout. 

The collection is available from Charlotte Olympia online store and the boutique on Maddox street (An amazing team) and Net-a-Porter. 

Which are your favourites from the Halloween collection? 

What has everyone got planned for Halloween? Anyone dressing up?

Thanks for reading guys.

Lots of love
