Outfit Post : At The Sarto Garden Party - Wearing a BOW with a HAT

 By: Unknown    00:17  No comments

Deciding what to wear to the SARTO daytime fashion show garden party event last week took some deliberation. My problem was twofold - I had received a brand-spanking-new monochrome HAT from Coccinelle that I desperately wanted to wear but the dress code was colourful and chic. Whilst this hat is most definitely chic, colourful it ain't. You might be thinking that I could have simply opted for lots of colour in my clothes but monochrome does not always work terribly well with lots of colour and patterns which is what I kept coming up with as options I was happy with wearing. A normal person would have simply forfeited the hat..but normality is something I've never staked a claim to.

The next problem was that I then wanted to wear a sweater...but not everyone would constitute a sweater as chic and thank god I had decided against this as when I woke up that morning it was oh so terribly hot.....

So after this back and forth deliberation over the span of a few weeks, I started building an outfit head down, I found this DKNY linen dark blue/black dress with a HUGE bow that ties at the back that I decided looked great with the hat...and for colour.....I realised I already owned the perfect accessories - a new huge red and gold necklace (also from Coccinelle) and my 30th birthday present from Paris (last January) that I had actually never taken out to play - a gorgeous MATELASSÉ MIU MIU BAG.

SPOTTED : Final Sale Time - My Picks

 By: Unknown    05:31  No comments

If you'e a bargain hunter, then the last few weeks of the sale period is probably a special time for you, it's that time when you can really snap a bargain, often finding items marked down by 70 -80%. A lot of people hate shopping in actual shops during sale time...reason being that there's a lot of confusion...clothes are heaped on top of each other and the likelihood of getting into some sort of fist fight is rather high. That's the beauty of online shopping, it renders human interaction and confusion potential down to nil.

With this in mind.. I decided to choose a couple of online shops and  pick my fave things on sale. Check them out...

Of all the shoes I own, my black ones always get the most mileage, with that in mind I believe you can never have enough black shoes, loving these booties with that heel and cut out design...
