Red Shoes, Black Shoes

For autumn, I'm really coveting some black patent or red patent or just black or red leather shoes. Here are some styles I like from Topshop's website-I really would like either a t-bar or mary jane style or a twist on the classic court :-)

Sitara Shoe, £75
Party Premium Cone Heel Shoe, £75

Hopefully a vintage pair in my size will miraculously appear on my forthcoming thrifting trips to the boot sale this summer-these styles are definitely inspirational for what I'm after!!

Stella Shoe, £55
Shuffle Tassel Bar T Shoe, £60

My Scarf Collection!!

Gorgeous bloggers Ida and Karima always accessorize their outfits so beautifully, especially with scarves and this inspired me to show you my scarf collection so far. I don't wear them as often as I want to and hopefully by getting them out and having them on show, will inspire me to incorporate them into my outfit selection more often.

Well, I got off to a good start on Saturday, as I wore my Missoni scarf to Bruges!!


Here are my selection of scarves, from left to right from the back:green and orange silk floral square by Jaeger, green and pale blue silk long scarf by Orla Kiely, pink and leopard print silk long scarf by Marks & Spencer, orange and purple wool scarf by Missoni, navy and cream print silk scarf by Hermes, grey multi colour geometric silk square by Libertys, cream and pale blue silk Italy scarf, wine floral triangular scarf by Mary Quant and black star print long scarf by Primark. Also at the back, my Moschino perfume box turned into scarf box!!

On my future thrifting trips , I will look out for more scarfs as they are generally very cheap to buy and there is a variety of different styles, colours and patterns just waiting to be found!!

Thanks for your inspiration Ida and Karima!!

Beautiful Summer bags!!

Here are some gorgeous beach bags which were among 12 of the best picks from Harpers Bazaar-I particularly love the Longchamp one-something different and the Topshop one (not online, must be just in stores), it's very Prada like!! I've re-named the title, as I most probably wouldn't let any of these bags on the sand-I dread to think of the mess around these gorgeous beauties-haha!

Beautiful Bruges!!

The town of Bruges-I've taken a few photos for you to see!!

Hi to everyone and thanks so much for all the lovely comments you've been leaving me!! Well Bruges, to sum it up is absolutely beautiful! We were there one day and the travelling was rather a killer (a total of more than 10 hours on the coach!) but Bruges was well and truly worth it!! We had about 4-5 hours there and we had a lovely lunch first, then started our sightseeing. As you can tell from the photos, Bruges is stunning and we managed to see quite a bit! I went all that way, only to find a Sue Ryder charity shop, which is 5 minutes up the road from where I live too-haha! Well, I had to look inside, of course! I tried on an YSL jacket but it was too small-never mind!! We also found a lovely little antique boutique shop, where Christoper bought some pins for 1 euros each-he bought 6 for him and 1 for me!! My one is the Lido in Paris, I will show it to you soon!

Of course, I brought home some belgium chocolates for us, Chris's mum and my mum and at the eurotunnel shopping terminal I just had to buy the new Christian Dior 'Escale a Portofino' Perfume-it's absolutely gorgeous-very fresh, lemony and summery!! I would recommend anyone to see this lovely town-it is soo pretty and quaint, with its cobbled streets, winding canals, old architecture and horse drawn carriages trotting around, competing for space with walkers and people on their bikes!! We came home tired and happy and I'm pleased that we had a wonderful time in this gorgeous place!!
