First winter wish list

Posted on by

As in, certainly not last!!! I am sure I will change my mind several times as Autumn approaches…will add and take off…

Ok, I have started thinking about winter… I just can’t help myself, I much prefer “cold weather” clothes. Of course I have also started forming a list in my mind of what I should absolutely have….

Here’s the first draft:

  1. Mid-heel fringed loafers in dark navy/black leather (Gucci would be ideal but certainly out of my reach)
  2. Cross-body black saffiano classic bag (still looking for it from last season!!)
  3. Pair of dark denim classic jeans
  4. Long sleeves flowery dress (another piece I have been trying to find for some time)

Perhaps the following:

  1. THE SELLER Moccasins black leather

  2. Well… haven’t found it yet, have I ?! No picture as a consequence yet.
  3. 7 FOR ALL MANKIND dark-blue-denim

    I know it must seem strange but I don’t actually own a pair of dark blue jeans…yet!  Here

  4. ZARA long printed dress

Classic match

Posted on by

I know I shouldn’t be looking at winter clothes yet but I love them so much more than the summer ones….

So, here’s a “match made in heaven”, cashmere cardigan, jeans and loafers, mid-heel loafers!!

Cashmere cardigan + jeans light blue + thin necklace + mid-heel loafers

The cardigan is Massimo Dutti (here). They have a new cashmere collection out with the usual suspects. I am sure you are bound to have a pair of jeans and a necklace similar the ones in the picture. Now, the shoes. I would just about kill to have those Gucci gorgeous loafers, but I can’t… either kill or have them!

Here are a few alternatives:

ASOS Park Lane Suede Fringe Mid Heel Loafer pink
THE SELLER Moccasins suede garnet
WHAT FOR Moccasins maroon
River Island black patent tassel heeled loafers black
THE SELLER Moccasins black leather
THE SELLER Moccasins suede dark blue
THE SELLER Moccasins suede lead
TOPSHOP JUSTIFY Fringe Loafer metallic blue

 

What for moccasins, Topshop loafers, Asos loafers, River Island loafers, The seller suede moccasins

I really quite like the “The seller” leather pair…

Cold shoulder

Posted on by

Just the one. This off the shoulders trend isn’t going away, might as well embrace it! I am obviously joking, do it only if you like it. I am a firm believer a girl shouldn’t follow all trends, just the ones one fancies or can actually wear (due to personal shape).

I do think this one is cute, not worth investing too much, but cute nevertheless. I also think it needs to be done with a reasonable amount of taste, otherwise one risks falling into “trash” territory….

The icon for this kind of top is of course Brigitte Bardot,original but I have never been a fan of “girly girls”, I tend much more for androgynous….I don’t mind a little femininity though here and there. You know those women who, even if wearing something sexy or frilly don’t look overwhelmingly feminine ? (or “tarty” some of the time, again, due to body shape too).

 

I find this TOPSHOP blouse quite flamboyant yet tasteful. Perfect match with jeans but also great with a pair of soft tailored trousers or a midi skirt, I would certainly wear this top:

TOPSHOP One Shoulder Bardot Blouse

I would lose the ’80’s haircut though!!
