Sunglasses : Ray Ban Optika
Necklace : New Look

Outfit 1
Boyfriend Jeans : Miss Sixty
White Sneakers: US Polo @ Stivaletti
TShirt / Waistcoat : Both have been at me for Yonks


Outfit 2
Skirt : Promod

Shopping : What I Bought

Shoppinglist


After weeks of passing on shopping tips and sale finds, I think it's only fair that you see some of what I bought for myself over the last month. 

So, above, first item in the picture shows my very first oversized jacket from Promod - an outfit post to follow very, very soon.

Right below, are a new pair of black, knee high boots - can you believe my previous, black knee high boots are about 7 years old ?! These are Nero Giardini from Stivaletti and as comfy as my bedroom slippers, ok, well, almost...

Then there's a Honey necklace that looks great with shirts / dresses etc that I've been reaching for a lot.

Below that, there's a skater skirt from Zara. I'm in love with the comfort and ease skater skirts bring to my life - I've only owned this skirt for one week and I've already worn it three times.

Then there's the PANAMA JACKS - yep I got a pair in burgundy - wohoooo

And the next two things are a cheat -- I don't own them but I'd like to very much and hey it's my birthday tomorrow. I've been passing hints at every turn for two weeks now, so hopefully some of them stuck in someone's brain !! :)

  • The first is a suede patchwork dress from ASOS - I really love the colours, it's a perfect item for Spring and in Winter I'd wear it over a cream turtleneck and some thick cream tights.. perfection.
  • It wouldn't be my list without at least something pink but even non-pink lovers, you have to admit there are few things more darling than this coat - and it's on sale.

NYE Glitzy Outfit Inspiration



I get dressed up on so many random nights throughout the year that it's kind of ironic that on the one day, EVERYONE dresses up I'll be having a chilled night in with friends, drinking and eating ..most probably wearing something along the lines of comfy jeans and a sweater. However, for those going a more traditional route and enjoying a glitzy party, here's some sparkly accessories inspiration, maybe you have something similar lurking somewhere within your closet...remember accessories can take that outfit from normal to special ..but don't overload..too much of anything is always a bad thing...

Trends Post : Lost & FOUND - it's all in a NAME


Carrie wore a Carrie necklace in SATC some years ago and like with everything Carrie did, since then, name necklaces have been considered to be a fashion thing. The last two years saw the trend rise in the fashion stakes department and this year it has transcended to encompass not just names, but words of all kinds. Lanvin made quite a splash with gold statement necklaces spelling words like HELP retailing for about a 1000 euros

Back to the names..you maybe have noticed that in general, there's been a shift in trends in the jewellery department..whilst chunky statement necklaces have not entirely left the building, they're definitely getting jostled out of prime position as delicate feminine jewellery makes a comeback. And with this comeback it's only natural that name necklaces and even 'initials necklaces' get an entry or two. Plus, there's the added benefit of - the person who finds you knowing who you are - when you get lost...which ofc happens quite often.....doesn't it ?

As you can see from the photo above, I opted for my initials and I bought them and the necklace from Mvintage...I honestly love wearing it..I'm not quite sure why, but I get a kick every time i look at myself in the mirror and see that CP staring back at me..maybe I think I'm Carrie..maybe I know I'll always be found..either way, it makes me happy and surely that's enough of a reason to wear it ? 

If you want to ensure your safety and buy one of your own follow these links - for the letters aka charms click here and for the necklace click here

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


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.
