Purple peplum

 

 

Some people say they've had enough of peplum. Well I most certainly don't. I've had this top for a while and I am not giving it up. It seems perfect for fall.
Do you like peplum?

The /new/ bag and what's in it

 

I've been looking for a great new bag for a while. When I saw this one on sale in DKNY store I couldn't not buy it. It was everything I had been looking for. Roomy enough for all my essentials, nude colour that will go with everything and a great price.

So now the big question is: What do I carry around? I thought I'd share..

 

1. Iphone - can't imagine my life without it. Cover by Lanvin.

2. Ipad - I have an online job. Like my phone, can't be without it. Love my new DvF case :)

3. Filofax - I'm a bit old-school and still like to write things down.

4. DKNY wallet - have had it for years. It's starting to wear off but the colour is so perfect I don't want to give it up.

5. Keys and chewing gums (for obvious reasons)

 6. Dior sunglasses. I always carry sunglasses and never umbrella, which probably doesn't make much sense in England but I have sensitive eyes. And sunglasses are such a good accessory.

 7. Business cards - because you never know who you may ran into.

8. Valentino Valentina perfume - for freshening up.

 9. Clarins hand cream - have been using it for years and swear by it.

10. At least a couple of lipstick or lipglosses. Usually it's more.. YSL ones are among faves.

11. Chanel powder - it's nearly gone but I use it as mirror.

12. Bottle of water. I drink about 3 litres a day. Must-have for me. (I put Vitamin tablets in it that's why it's pink - not because I love pink - just a happy coincidence).

13. Sweetner - in case I buy coffee and they don't have it. Hate sugar (but not sugary things).

 

These are every day items, but often there's more.. Magazines, my DSLR, flats for emergencies etc.

Now you know why I need a big bag..

What are your essentials?

 

Have a stylish day.

Miss asymmetric

Look: 1, 2, 3, 4

It's no secret that I love asymmetric cuts. One shouldered dresses are among my favourites. They're simple, timeless, but interesting. Now I'm coveting these two versions (one for every budget).

Happy Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S lovely readers. I want to wish you all a great day full of love (and I want you to feel loved every day) and I'm bringing you a very special card. Designed by none other than Alber Elbaz of Lanvin. I hope you like it as much as I do. Tres chic.

Have a stylish day.

It's an instagram life #24

I wouldn't be Miss Pink if I didn't fall with the above Valentino pumps in love at first sight. They're sold out in most sizes at Net-a-porter, yet mine is still available. At £580 they're way out of my budget, but a girl can dream hey :)
I've been spending last few days by English seaside (Bexhill-on-sea), where I had walks on the beach, time to read fashion magazines and I've been doing quite a lot of swimming, using jacuzzi, steam room/sauna and I'm already starting to feel like a new person! The swimsuit I picked up in a sale is by Frostfrench and I'm loving the floral print.

As much fun as I'm having in the countryside (wearing no make-up) I can't wait to glam up again. I use my DKNY make-up bag sometimes as a tiny clutch, YSL mascara is great as are their lip glosses which have amazing staying power. Chanel nail polishes are occasional treat. Just like was this Lanvin iPhone case. I first saw it a while ago, but before I decided to buy it, it got sold out. This time when I saw it back in stock I didn't hesitate a minute and bought it straight away. It arrived today and it's been bringing a smile on my face ever since.

Meeting the icons

Yesterday I had a great day full of fantastic appointmens and events. I will write more about the other ones next time, but for today let's concentrate on attending of announcing the winner of the International Woolmark Prize European Award. See bellow Christian Winjants with one of his winning designs and also the official photo of the judges: Dean and Dan of Dsquared2, Alber Elbaz (Lanvin), Tim blanks (style.com), Alexandra Schulman (Vogue UK), Giles Deacon and Christine Arp (Vogue Germany). I apologise for the quality of my pictures as my camera is broken..

It was such an honour to be part of this event and be in the same room as many of my icons! I am the biggest fan of Lanvin's Alber Elbaz and now I love him even more as a person, because he was very funny a generally lovely. He announced the winner and I was hoping to have a photo taken with him but he was busy so I asked Dean and Dan of Dsquared2 instead, who were lovely too.
We sipped champagne and nibbled on canapés and it was a great afternoon.
I wore another sale score from Zara (skirt) and a top from Nelly. Outfit post coming soon.

Party feet - Matches sale

It's a sign that we're still deeply in recession, if so many sales are starting before Christmas. Even from many big labels and retailers. But let's look at the positives. You can treat yourself and save money whils at it! On Friday the Matches sale started and it's usually a good one. So for my today's Party feet post I've picked the six best shoes I'm lusting over, giving Santa a week to pick the right pair for me. The list includes great nude flats that should be in every woman's wardrobe, animal print sling-backs by YSL and those pink beauties that are my shoes of the season! Love them, now they've been reduced I think I'll have to buy them no matter what!

Party feet by Lanvin

I really notice how fast the week goes by doing Party feet post. As a true shoe lover, it's one of my favourites. I've been really getting into the Christmas spirit this week (I even listened to Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas I must admit), mostly planning my outfits and being attracted to everything sparkly. I've got quite a few sequin containing posts coming up.
These shoes are perfect for party season and beyond. I am a big fan of Alber Elbaz and Lanvin and these are a great showcase of the label. They are very pretty and feminine, but the ankle strap gives them tougher edge. Love! Buy them  here.
Have a stylish day.

Party feet - the sale edit

The sales are in full swing with further reductions at many places. Temptation central! There is no better time to expand your shoe collection with some designer gems, whilst saving some money too. That's why I dedicated today's Party feet post to sales. I've picked my favorites from net-a-porter but there were many more I liked. I felt like a child in a candy shop. Here's the full selection. Remember the Lanvin heels I wrote about before? Now they've been reduced I had to include them. Which do you like the most? Let me know if you manage to score some.
Have a stylish day.

Party feet - something for everyone

I am very excited about today's party feet post. Not only both pairs of shoes I picked are pink, they are at two opposite price ranges, meaning something for every budget. The pictures is taken from this week's issue of Grazia, dedicated to shoes. I want so many of them! But these are both very me.
The raffia wedges from New look are buy of the week, because you can't get better for £29.99! I love wedges and these are perfect to add colour to any outfit, will be comfortable and look really cool.
The patent pink Lanvin are to die for. I've recently got a new obsession with block heel and this pair, despite the height, looks comfy. I want! No wonder they say it's front row favorite. They will instantly update any outfit. I'm going to start saving now..

Handbag obsession

We all love handbags. We need handbags! To carry all the important stuff like lipstick and all :) I was just looking at net-a-porter.com (as you do) all in the name of research.. And of course I found a great selection of handbags. All very desirable and colourful. Perfect for the hottest SS trend. My favourite is the pink Lanvin one (obviously), but red Chloe has very timeless shape and turquoise Burberry seems different and original. Want them all!

Valentino for Gap

This week is very exciting for high street shoppers. Today saw the mayhem caused by the hottest collaboration of the year - Lanvin for H&M. People were queueing since early morning to get their hands on a Lanvin piece with reasonable price tag. And if you have seen the collection you understand why. It's hot! If you didn't get to buy anything do not worry. Another very interesting collab hits the shops this saturday and it's Valentino for Gap. Sounds like a very unlikely pairing but it turned out quite well. Judging by the pictures I predict a very busy day for London's Gap's flagship store.
Have a stylish day.

statement necklaces

I'm the biggest fan of jewellery. These days you won't see me without a big cocktail ring and I'm also a big fan of massive bangles and bracelets. One thing I may have been overlooking a bit, but am quicky changing it, is statement necklaces. I mean they have been all over catwalks for quite a few seasons now and they are not going anywhere. And it makes sense. You can easily dress up a simple dress or a tee with a statement necklace and don't need much more. I've checked net-a-porter.com and here are my favourites all available now.

party dressing by Lanvin

I hate January. It seems like the longest, greyist, the most miserable month. The party season is officially over and summer is still far far away. But it doesn't have to be like this. The good news is, it's many of my friend's birthdays coming up, so there is always reason for a party. And dressing up! By now I'm really fed up with all the extra layers and feel like introducing a bit more of a colour into my wardrobe. I admire Alber Elbaz and his SS'10 collection for Lanvin is just so beautiful. The draping is a big hit for spring summer and it's great for all of those, who have been indulging over the Christmas period. The statement necklaces are going nowhere as well and you can see why they are so popular. Easy way to update your wardrobe, they instantly lift a simple outfit without being too much. Bring on the party!
