The nth pair of mules and probably not the last. Have I mentioned I love them?!!

Need Supply & Co. BABOUCHE SLIDES IN BLACK

A pair of white sandals, white, I never thought I would but these are definitely worth it!!

Kendall and Kylie Cody Lace Up Flat Sandals

A pair of black sandals, very casual but so chic!!

& Other Stories Raw Edge Leather Sandals black

I think I could live with the now trendy “capsule wardrobe” for the summer but shoes?! I want a room full!! I keep on saying, the day my sons leave our home I will turn at least one bedroom into my walk-in cupboard but perhaps I should think about having two, one for my clothes and one for my shoes and accessories… One needs to have dreams.

My one week rule

Posted on April 24, 2016 by stylepointofview

My one week rule applies only to trendy items and goes like this: if I see something I like which belongs to “the one season trend” section, I must wait one week before buying it. If after that time I am still convinced I want it, I can go ahead and take it to its new home!! Obviously, it also has to be reasonably priced too, no point in throwing away money on a passing trend.

Doesn’t apply to classic items for the simple reason I tend to know what I want and like and if I find it, I just know it’s the right thing. I sometimes spend months anyway, looking for just the right item, so I have time to think, consider, reconsider, change idea, look some more, etc. etc. For example, I have been looking for a black handbag. I started with a style and I am going to end up with another, but I just know it is the right one, I won’t bore you with the details…but will show you what I am about to order though:

Barbie trend

Posted on April 23, 2016 by stylepointofview

“I’m a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world,

life in plastic, it’s fantastic………

feel the glamour in pink….

Do you remember this song?!

Apparently pink is “in” this summer. I don’t like pink or at least I thought I didn’t , certainly not the “Barbie” way!!! A few days ago I went make-up shopping, you know, those bright colours I wrote a post about ( here ). The sales girl was very good and convinced me to buy a lipstick too. It was a gorgeous nude one…. my excuse was it’s very difficult to find the perfect one! Anyway, two days later I decide it’s time to use my new make-up and, once I am finished with my eyes I open the lipstick and start applying it, only to find out she has given me the wrong colour! It’s pink!!! Annoyed at first, I have a better look at my lips and I actually decide I quite like it!!!

How daring you might say!!!! Ok, I do realise it’s not a lot of pink… but that’s me, I am not going to embrace the shade just because it’s trendy, or better, I am going to have just a little something in this girly colour, the amount I think suitable for me.

Here are some other things I would have in pink:
