LFW AW16 Day 3

Image
Finally, here is the look I wore on the 3rd day of LFW, ready for the last shows I decided to attend.  To achieve that smart twist, I've paired a black blazer with the undisputed piece of the season - a slip dress.  I chose one with a wisp of lace, to give a touch of luxe simplicity and  a pair of leather boots to complete the effortless look. Hope you're all having a wonderful start of spring! xx Escada blazer (similar  here  and here ) // Asos slip dress in Navy (you can find a very similar model  here ) Zara red belt //  Garkony black leather  boots  //  L'Oreal lipstick in  Pure Red   Hair & Makeup:  L'Oreal Paris Studio Pro

A Dream Within A Dream

Image
Edgar Allan Poe was a brilliant mind, and today, writing this post, I fancy nothing else than a little poetry and some dreams of winter... Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?                                           ...

Christmas Gift Guide

Cashmere, cinnamon, the smell of freshly baked cookies. I love December.. so cosy and fragrant. I go back to childhood and relive the ritual of decorating the Christmas tree with my mom, while grandma was making gingerbread and my dad building snowmen. I always get excited at the thought of arranging the table, decorating the house and buying presents. And what else would anyone need for a perfect Christmas, other than your family and a lovely setting. So here it is, a fabulous gift guide, along with other pretty ideas which I hope you will enjoy at least as much as I did while preparing it. xx Shop the gift guide:  Elie Beaumont watch Fever Collection body Clara Olivia  bra (15% off with code PIXIE15) Diesel sunglasses from TK MAXX Snake bracelet from here Essie nail polish in a cut above Lancôme La vie est belle  perfume & body lotion The Body Shop bronzing powder The Body Shop shimmering dry oil Chansons pour elle et a...

LFW Day 5

Image
*** On the final day of London Fashion Week 2015, I had the  wonderful chance of visiting Ulyana Sergeenko 's showroom at the beautiful Claridge's Hotel . The art deco scenery welcomed me into her fairytale world. The SS2015 Couture Collection was all about velvet & silk fabrics, feathers, hand embroidered petite details, delicate accessories..all gathered into tangible magic. A gorgeous collection, exhaling great finesse, from one gorgeous woman!  ***  *** I  also saw  Mark Mitanovski  present his painstakingly intricate Autumn Winter 2015 collection (my favourite show this season, I must confess haha), through Fashion Scout.   As the lights went out and only the name of the designer was shining bright at the end of the catwalk, the darkness fell upon the audience followed by a haunting music. When the lights came back on, the first model walked down the runway wearing a ...

Seasonal Glow

  We see each season as a chance to try something new. We consider cashmere to be the best thing about falling temperatures. We love sequined heels as much as ankle boots. We think finding "the one" refers to that perfect trench coat. We make his pieces ours with a bit of finesse and a healthy dose of sparkle. We believe it's possible to reinvent yourself every single time you get dressed. ☆ Here's to a season of new beginnings. ☆ I was wearing: Vintage YSL Emerald Silk Blouse (Similar Here , Here & Here ) /  StyleLondon  Silk Skirt /  Zara  leather ankle boots /  White Pearls (Similar Here ).
