Golden Chain Ankle Boots

Roll on 2014 ~ How's January treating you so far ? Truth be told - I have been becoming a little domesticated lately, instead of taking advantage of the January sales, scouring for clothes, shoes and accessories, I've had to focus on home improvements. They say a Clean Home = Clear Mind.



I've been craving chain ankle boots since I clapped eyes on these Givenchy boots , there was an ice cubes chance in hell I would be buying those, so I've patiently waited for an inspired look from the high street. I came across the 'Kurt Geiger strike chain booties' but in the end I opted for the Chicwish ankle boots with chunky golden chain tying on front.

Moodboard 05 Happy Holidays

The holiday season is upon us, and I'm going to enjoy the sleigh ride that is Christmas filled, with TV, movie and game marathons with copious amounts of food and drink, until I become confused on what day of the week it is. One of the most valuable gifts this holiday season brings is the opportunity to thank everyone who has visited this blog along the way.

HAPPY HOLIDAY CHEER TO YOU ALL

Holidays 2013 Gift Guide : Nero

It's that time of the year again. . .if you're stuck for idea's, here's the beginning of my Holiday gift guide to spark some inspiration, I leave it up to me and my trusty mouse to do all my shopping online, whilst sipping some green tea, I know a cup of hot chocolate would sound better but I can never find me a good brand lately, either too sickly sweet or bitter. If you don't fancy the color black, I hope to add a few more gift guides this coming week.  

Embellished Beanies : Autumn Winter Headwear

My little noggin gets cold during the nippy season of autumn and winter and sometimes casual beanies just don't cut the muster when I make an attempt to sharpen up my attire. If I could have it my way, I could quite possibly stick with wearing cosy beanies and quilted jogging pants all throughout winter, but I need to snap out of cursing the cold and dressing nonchalantly.

Heck Yeah! to the embellished gem beanies for creating a chic as well as casual guise to an outfit, I happily wear mine with smart or casual attire. It also had occurred to me that I can now utilize unused brooches to accessorize a plain beanie, or I could even raid my mother's old brooches to create a timeless vintage look to a beanie much like the cameo beanie.

I've avoided buying the Silver Spoon cameo beanie since last year as a good old D.I.Y would prove to be more cost savvy. There are some pretty nifty embellished beanie D.I.Y's on the blogosphere if you are looking for ideas. I'm just happy as Larry that my beanies keep me warm like a Canada goose jacket when bitter chills of winter bite on those cold unfriendly nights.

Paris Fashion Week SS 14

Now that the Parisian dust has settled, I've scoured some of the looks offering a tiny glimpse of what the ladies will be wearing next spring, zero restrictions and no practicalities considered.

Viktor & Rolf

Channeling prep school style into your wardrobe with an edge.

Hexa Kuho

Korean warrior goddesses, I beseech the delicate nubs of flowers.

Kenzo

"We were really inspired by the fact that water is alive and it has a heartbeat. I feel like when you walk in the room and you see this, you realise that. One of our biggest messages was also this idea of protecting our oceans and to stop over-fishing. Obviously we work and create fashion but I think that fashion and social issues can exist together. How do we live in harmony with the ocean?" - Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, co-creative directors.

Devastee

"It's the end of spring. It's 5am, you're in Tokyo and you're awake for three hours. It's daylight. You are at the Aoyama Cemetery. Dozens of birds singing around you. The city seems far away. You look at the Mori Tower which overlooks you." - Ophelia Klere and Francois Alary
