Navajo Aztec scarf

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Today I am posting some pictures of this simple outfit I had chosen for cocktails with a friend, something really simple and easy for an afternoon girlie chat.

Anyways, I was telling you guys on my previous post about this scarf, from Primark. I first saw it on a colleague at work, she had it in a different colour and I loved it straightaway, than later I saw that they also had it in a coral/turquoise combination, I saw it someone else wearing it. I wanted them so badly, whichever colour I could get, I would be happy with.
I had huge intentions to make to Primark, but just didn't happen. I've been busy and so it took me ages to get there. One day, I went to the one in Hammersmith, where I hadn't been in ages, I had the hope to find the scarf there since that store it's not as busy as the one in Oxford St.

So, I got there just to find one scarf and that one was in someone else's neck! Making matters worst, I did ask the lady if she wanted to sell hers... She must have thought I was CRAZY!
The scarf btw, had been sold out at Primark a long, long time ago.

Moral of the story: Ebay-ed and got one in the end. Hurray!

I love it so much I have been wearing for days in a row and it has all my favourite colours for the Summer. It so goes with everything.

NY preppy

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Today's outfit is very simple but it has quite a preppy feeling to it. Something a bit different for me, it's simple, minimalistic and neutral and I loved it.

Summer day out

Hi guys,

Amazing weather today isn't it? The combination for today was orange and brown, one of my favourites lately... So hot today, I was actually boiling with the jacket! It's so nice to have the sun again but the sudden change of the temperature feels too much. I should just enjoy and not complain!

I was wearing: Jacket: Topshop, Dress: All Saints, Belt: Side Walk (Brasil), Bag + Wedges: Zara, Sunglasses: Alexander McQueen.

I scream for ice cream

Hi guys,

I hope you are all having a nice weekend. I took this pictures a few days ago when the weather was nice in London. We are having the weirdest Summer ever, some days are nice and warm, others just wet and cold. Well, I suppose this is not very strange for the British Summer but I can get quite annoyed sometimes because the weather is so rubbish. I wish we had a decent hot Summer, ready for a new wardrobe and season.

So, when the sun is shining you must take the most advantage of it. I went to the park and had a delicious pistachio and brownie chocolate ice cream. Yummy!

Bright yellow

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Today's outfit is another Summer look. I bought this skirt ages ago but but somehow it had never appeared on the blog before. I love it's volume and the bold colours and because this skirt is so bright I tried to keep the rest pretty simple, with black leggings and a camisole.

I was wearing: Sunglasses: Balenciaga, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood, Leggings: Zara, Bag: Luella, Shoes: See by Chloe.

NOW I'M ALSO ON LOOKBOOK!

Ps: Blogger is swapping my pictures around on my previous posts! Has this happened to anyone?

See you soon.

Easy day out with Cath Kidston

Hi guys,

It was a bit sunny today and I had a lovely day out. I went out for lunch and for a stroll down the park with my new Cath Kidston Meadow Tote Bag, which was kindly send to me by Cath Kidston.

Very sweet, romantic and quintessentially English, I think this bag will be ideal for the Summer. I was surprised when I received the parcel because I was not expecting something so big. This is a huge tote, which can either be used for a day out or as travelling or picnic bag. It's also good as a second bag, for when you have to carry loads of stuff around. The bag is very sturdy, with Teflon coating which makes this bag extra tough.

Although this is a big bag, it's easy and comfortable to be worn on the shoulder, but it's also an open bag -and I am so used to carry my bags on my forearm- so for security reasons I would prefer to carry the bag that way. There are a couple of pockets inside, which makes easier to find the important bits.

I felt all romantic and inspired by this tote. Today's outfit which is a mixture of pastel colours, I am loving this colours for summer too!

You can also change the bag shape, by pushing the sides in and closing the top, with a small popper, this way the bag becomes square and roomy enough to carry all your bits and bobs for that stylish picnic!

I was wearing: Bag: Cath Kidston, Sunglasses: Alexander McQueen, Jacket: Aloe, Cardigan: Zara, Top: from Portobello Market, Jeans: Topshop, Hat + Belt: Jigsaw, Shoes: from Brazil.

I have also just started posting my pictures on Lookbook. Does anyone know how do I post them on the blog?
See you soon.

A bit of this and a bit of that

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well, thank you so much for the comments on my last post, you guys were very helpful giving me loads of good ideas. I couldn't wait any longer to wear my jacket and today was the perfect day in London, not too cold, not too warm, the was sky is clear and gorgeous for most of the day.

So here is how I decided to wear the jacket, a mixture of basics and a bit of colour blocking with accessories. I think it was the perfect mix and I am very pleased with my purchase.

I was wearing: Jacket: Zara, Scarf: Alexander McQueen, Shredded Tshirt: Pretty Portobello, Jeans: Firetrap, Sandals: D.Co Copehagen, Bag: Balenciaga.

See you soon.

Cheap and cheerful

Hi guys,

In today's outfit post, I am wearing a huge pair of harem trousers. They are '1001 nights' full on, the proper look. I got them a while back, I think they came from one of those big tables at Portobello Market where everything was £2. They are so big that they can pass as a skirt. A peculiar thing about them, is that they have 'cuffs' on the ankles. I have never seen that before, funny isn't it? ( This also makes me think that they were made in India or China. They are indeed a very cheap garment, but cheap can also be fun.)

Talking about cheap, another bargain of the month, are my new wedges. I got them at Urban Outfitters. They were on sale for £40, I tried them on, I loved them but didn't want to part with my cash. Then about 2 weeks later they got reduced to £20, WOW! When I saw it on the website, I literally ran to UO to buy them. Luckily they still had them my size, as on the website they had already sold out.
The weird thing, is that now they are back on their sale price, which was £40. It really must have been my lucky day.
So far, they are also the most comfortable pair of wedges I own, because they are lighter and a little lower than the others. I am not the best person to walk on wedges anyways, but I am hoping practice will make perfect.

I was wearing: Jacket: second hand, Cardigan: Jigsaw, T-shirt: Wildfox, Belt: Topshop, Wedges: UO, Necklace and Bag: Vivienne Westwood.

A forgotten gift

Hi guys,

What a sunny, beautiful and hot day it has been. I went for a quick stroll down the Portobello market, which was reasonably quiet. Easter weekend is one of times of the year that a lot of people leave London, and sometimes is the best time to shop and have a good look around.

As I was getting ready, I was very much delighted for coming across this little bag, just what I was looking for and I found it right on my bag 'box'! My mum gave me this one a couple of years back and I had completely forgotten about it. It's just such an easy little bag, made of suede and leather with the perfect size for my sunnies case, wallet, phone and keys.

A basic black dress is always present on my Summer wardrobe, by the way I have just got a new maxi dress from Zara, which I will show you soon...

Dress: From Gap -found on a second hand shop, Hat and Belt: Jigsaw, Rings: H&M, Shoes: Clarks, Sunglasses: Chanel, Bag: from Brazil.

I managed to combine the colours of my outfit with my jewellery. :-)

Pink and purple

Hi guys,

A colourful outfit post. Pink and purple are some of my favourite colours and are perfect for the sunnier days that we have been having in London.
The Navajo poncho is proving to be great at this time of the year as it's still cozy and protective against the wind and not very heavy. In fact, I have just bought a third poncho a few days ago (if you follow me on Twitter you already know it) from Topshop, it was on sale for £18, I just had to have it.

I was wearing, Poncho: Asos, Top: Religion, Leggings: Primark, Shoes: from Brazil and Bag: from Florence.

See you soon.

Witches

Hi guys,

I hope to be back to normal on the blog this week. I have been having a different routine, working until late and slowly everything is falling into places. Today's outfit post was inspired by a modern witch. A mix of romanticism, crucifixes, paganism and raw stones.

I was wearing: Camisole: vintage, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood, Shoes: Melissa, Belt: Zara.

See you soon.
