it all points to silver.

There was something so idyllic about the deserted beach, glistening sea and rippled sand combined with the rusty structure of the old pier. Spending almost 24/7 city living makes me crave and appreciate these moments even more if thats even possible.

a macaroon amaze.

A treasured day off = my new Asos 'Amaze' shoes arrived... 

way ahead of schedule and I am amazed. 

Vaguely reminiscent of the Alexander Wang Constance boots mixed up with Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel vision in 2010 with the whole perspex and iceberg ensemble, that will remain forever embedded in my memory. 

Now for my first attempt at making the French fancy- macaroons. I now have Lorraine Pascale's recipe, along with a specialist book and crossed fingers.

 If they are successful I promise photos to follow.

Feeling a little basic in this monochrome ensemble after the colour and pattern overload from NYFW yesterday.....

patent & perfect.

 

Absolutely love the clean lines, simple black patent and understated heel height of my new shoes, and the way they look so abstract in the composition of these photos.

navy blue polka dot blouse. new in and already a 'go-to' in the wardrobe. I love the navy and burgundy mix, and the semi sheer fabric making it the perfect day or night option.

(Apologies for the major lack of blog posts.....working and playing non stop lately.. this week all should be back to the usual sunday, monday, wednesday friday postings!)

Would love to hear about your weekends and any adventures?

New shoes.

Aside from the converse purchase, It has been a while since I treated myself to a new pair of shoes, so when I spied these from 'Deena & Ozzy' at Urban Outfitters on my way home from work I knew they would be coming with me.

Somehow they remind me of standard issue school shoes in the navy leather, however the wedge and cut out detail to the front give them a whole new perspective. I hope to wear them with thick tights in the winter and some sort of peter pan collared dress, so for now Im thinking of pairing them with a navy short suit and bare legs? Any thoughts?

Hope you all had a great weekend.

take me back.

Wishing I was still away... such a relaxing week spent swimming, sleeping and enjoying beautiful places and simple pleasures. 

Lots more posts to follow but a snapshot of me on one our the cloudy days....sat by the beach- (wearing: Zara shirt & bag, Pistol panties Bikini.)

Would love to hear of your holidays or get aways?!

new purchase.

 

Such a classic purchase and my airport / travelling shoe choice. 

I was trying to decide if i should buy burgundy or white... so I went with white for now,

maybe burgundy this winter?

a dose of colour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is nothing quite like a  Tommy Ton's or streetstyle photography fix to inspire you and add a huge dose of creativity into the day ahead!

cut+paste.

I got creative this week with some of my favourite snippets from a bunch of magazines, and a spare hour one evening. I seem to have an inability to ever throw magazines out... 

With a holiday just around the corner, some splashes of colour seem to be the answer, and helping my 'what to pack' thoughts...

Would love to hear about your holidays?!
