Alexander Mcqueen Puma Wedge ○ Yumumu

I would like to think I could be a SMIDGE of a sophistic-at when It comes to putting one step forward & another with some tasty high heels on, but it seems that's just not included in my genetic make-up! But wedges overall for the past year have been a god send! I have discovered I am capable of walking on the shiny (slippy) glossy floors, even on a wet rainy day! 

The Alexander McQueen Puma black elevate wedges would be perfecto, for those half sport but chic moments and combine them with some white knee high socks and I'm hyena happy :) These were on sale at OAK but seem to have sold out.

YUMUMU

YU, MU, MU is mandarin for 'Rain, Wood, Wood'

YUMUMU, a fashion label based in Singapore by Yilin Lu, dresses are the staple for Yumumu's wardrobe and designs are produced in small quantities to ensure their uniqueness.Their elemental nature echoes the undated appeal of the designs. Her passion for ‘moulding, draping and sculpting garments that bring alive the peculiarities of the wearer, drawing her inspiration not from fleeting trends but shifting ideas that are often overlooked'. 

The first image above, from the collection reminds me of a delicate piece of origami.

There Came A Pause

Nathalie van Wageningen

There came a pause, a hiatus longer than I expected!..My inevitable tardiness came into the fray. Beginning ish of March turned into End of March. Mostly work, some holiday. In the middle of it all, I kept writing in my head, but none of it made its way to my blog. 

Thank you for all the comments and to the emails I received :) I genuinely really appreciate them, and now having some time away from this blog, I realised It’s just kind of become one of those things, I'm a private person ....then why do I blog? I must be a masochist! right, I am always pushing myself to dragoon this blog to be more personal. And I'm going to be working on it :) 

Starting From Now- I thought I'll share with you a few things since on hiatus concerning this blog, I was kindly invited to participate in a Reebok EasyTone trial, many women bloggers apart from myself have been invited to be apart of their campaign, by receiving EasyTone shoes and reviewing them as a product. Apparently these trainers are supposed to improve the muscle tone in the hamstrings, calves and glutes. It's probably a good incentive to test these out and at least get a good workout in the process. 

Look forward to sharing some new tasty collections, I received via email, and maybe some guest blogging here and there. 

I'm taking in the aroma of fresh slightly wet cut grass, while I type, Spring seems to be in the air, chocolate bunnies around the corner, longer days of sunshine and rooftop bars and maybe just a few more additional new items to the wardrobe. I'm zipped up, to get some funkdafied inspiration from the usual blogging haunts. 

Oh and even with the long hiatus, I have still not got round to watching Alice in Wonderland...

 Hope your all well, Mucho Love to Readers, Lurkers, Anons.

Short Shorty Hiatus COURTE PAUSE

I am off on a self-imposed brief hiatus :) I will return in the beginning ish of March. Note to self I try to use my Canon DSLR camera to take some snaps of slapdash of bits-and-pieces, I know I don't say this often enough, but your contribution emails comments are very mucho appreciated and I thank you for taking your time to write something and to even lurke anonymously, something I do plenty on many other blogs.

Well friends..... Take Care Love xx

I have the occasional lust for Interior Design, architecture strange quirky objects and its a hoopla exploring new venues and ideas, and there's sometimes nothing better than outdoor living, which cant really be achieved here in England...... Fervently putting me into the mood for a vacation.

Tumblr PS I made this

While thumb through wandering online, I found Tumblr to be a free wheeling and less commitment minded place, with oodles of constant inspiration without the titles and comments form. So on a whim I decided to join, as a side project by creating the odd post on a impulse..but prime of all I get to appreciate some of the creative cream of Tumblr. That is when I came across PS I made this, a do-it-yourself blog giving readers ideas for DIY projects, she makes everything look so easy to recreate.... P.S. - I Made This... is a movement. It’s a call to action to re-imagine, re-use, and re-invent. I see it.     I like it.     I make it.

London Fashion Week is in full swing and what I always look forward to at L F W, is the energy and vibe from the young people of London, a mixture of eclectic and glamorous styles. 


LOUISE GOLDIN

All these things set my toes a-tapping, the blend of military & Robot, the insanely gorgeous architectural shapes, and the palette and textures. the air of excitement could have come out of my very nose!  

The architectural sculpted tailored coats in this collection are the most acapulco, but I wasn't able to share and post those photos for you, due to my Photoshop software seems to be playing up, maybe Photoshop, itself got dizzy seeing those images.....I don't know!?...but will post them sometime later on. For now you can have glance over at The Fashion Spot

DAVID KOMA FW 10

David Koma, a former MA graduate from Central Saint Martins presents, Futuristic form fitting leather dresses, with slicked back hair and nude lips and oodles of embellishment edgings.
