All New Versace For H&M
December 19, 2011 § 2 Comments
Breaking news! Versace is doing another collaboration with H&M and it will be released on January 16! The success of the first collection was so great they decided to do one more and I absolutely can not wait – especially since it is cruise collection! The range is complete from bikinis to shoes, from nighties to jewellery and from dresses to bags. I want to get every single piece, pack it into a cute bag from the collection and jet off somewhere nice and hot. Trouble is this new range will only be released online – so it will be extremely hard to get access to the website on the day as the experience with the first collection already proved. Nevertheless, the obstacle will not stop me from trying to get my hands on the cute clothes and accessories covered in fruits, berries and butterflies. See the selection of my favourite pieces from the preview released earlier today above and let me know what items you will be chasing after.
(Bikinis both £24.99, Earrings 19.99, Shorts £24.99, T-Shirt £19.99, Silk Dress £59.99, Ballet Pumps £39.99, Bag £99.99).
P.S. Pictures of the new Versace for H&M men’s collection has also been released today and it is amazing – definitely more wearable than the previous one. Something for the few male readers accidentally stumbling on my blog to be excited about.
Love Affair With Coats
December 18, 2011 § Leave a comment
This season it is easy to slip into wearing black and not emerge out of such dress mode until spring. So here are three beautiful coats that will make you forget black and opt for a lighter hue this winter!
1. Michael Kors Faux Fur-Collar Satin-Twill Coat, £350. Cozy and stylish this coat is great if you are looking for a classier version of your usual parka! I am in love with 3/4 length sleeves of this coat and how beautiful the faux fur looks. Another good example that no animals need to be harmed to create warm and beautiful winter ware.
2. Missoni May Wool-Blend Tweed Coat, £3315. This beauty would break the bank but if you want a perfectly tailored coat you won’t find a cooler item in stores right now. Wear it during the day with cozy cardigan or at night with wintery dress. So pretty I can’t look away.
3. Rag and Bone Magnum Leather and Canvas Hooded Coat, £1655. This screams city chic and begs for skinny jeans and flat boots. And with a very practical hood it will keep your head warm in the wintery wind. But the most exciting part is a combination of leather and canvas. That is probably as exciting as a coat can get.
You can purchase all three coats from http://www.net-a-porter.com.
Forget Skinnies – Everyone Is Rolling Up!
December 17, 2011 § 17 Comments
Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Ashley Olsen are just a few celebrities that love rolled up jeans (or cuffed jeans if you prefer). But no one loves them as much as Rachel Bilson (above). She has rarely been seen without a pair on – from glamourous events when she matches them with stilettos, to a day out and about town wearing them with more casual yet still heeled shoes.
And that is the new perfect jeans recipe – boyfriend shape, rolled up sometimes distressed but always with heels as rolled up jeans can make your legs look shorter and that must be avoided, especially by the pear shaped girls!
So here is a selection of rolled up jeans I love (excuse the styling) to satisfy any budget and all from ASOS. Order by Monday to receive it before Christmas with standard delivery.
1. Rich Vintage Boyfriend Jeans £35 now £24.50
2. Wrangler Denim Chino in Light Denim was £85 now £45
3. MiH Halsy Vintage 90s Fit Jeans £140
4. Current/Elliot Boyfriend Loved Jeans £220
Are you getting on board with the trend?
Lulu Guinness Lips Offer
December 16, 2011 § 2 Comments
Who does not love discounts? Especially if they arrive so close to Christmas and allow us to purchase amazing Christmas presents for less (or are a perfect addition to our holiday wardrobe). That is why I just had to share awesome news – till 18/12/2011 (this whole weekend) selected Lulu Guinness Lips have 30% discount if you enter code LIPSLULU11 on the check out!
Lulu’s Lips clutches have become iconic – the most successful bag design of the brand. They have been on everyone’s lips (pun intended) – celebrities like Dita von Teese, Katy Perry and Sophie Ellis Bextor were seen wearing one of the many variations of Lips.
Choosing your perfect Lips clutch will be hard – there are just so many colours and textures. So good luck! Visit http://www.luluguinness.com where prices start from £158 (with discount).
Ice Skating Madness
December 14, 2011 § Leave a comment
I love ice skating! And of course being in love with fashion I never miss an opportunity to dress up – even if all I am doing is going to an ice rink (especially if the ice rink is located in Somerset House – famous London landmark which also hosts London Fashion Week).
This season one brand has taken ice skating fashion to all new level. DSQUARED have created high heel ice skating boots. Tall, leather and all the way laced up I absolutely love them. Yet the fact they are made for ice skating and have blades on the sole is just very odd. I can never imagine actually using them – wearing high heels 24/7 is definitely not my thing and in this particular situation wearing heels seems like an absolute madness. Yet I can totally see celebrities like Victoria Beckham, who are never seen in flats, wearing them to a day on ice rink with little Beckhams!
Why is it on My Fashion Wish List then, you might ask? Well, even though I would never use them I would absolutely love to have them in my collection as a piece of shoe art – the design is creative, unique and will go down in fashion history. And if that does not qualify them as a piece of art I don’t know what does.
Purchase them from http://www.luisaviaroma.com for £1665.
Bracelet Obsession Continues

I love stacking bracelets on my wrist. Right now I sport Monica Vinader, Tiffany, Daisy Jewellery Chakra Bracelet, double leather strap I purchased in Venice Beach California and a Turquoise Cross Bracelet from Urban Outfitters. I have a feeling it is time to expand the collection.
Meet Bee Gregson Jewels! Their bracelets made it onto Vogue Christmas Wish List (I’m proud to say a few of the items I blogged about over the last few months were there). Made out of semi precious stones and metal charms those feminine looking bracelets would look great on their own or in a stack. There are so many colours to choose from – but my selection above is of natural hue:
1. White Jasper Paloma Silver Single Bracelet, £26.
2. Hessonite and Gold Paloma Luxe Double Bracelet, £99.
3. Mokaite and Silver Paloma Double Bracelet, £68.
Purchase them online at http://www.beegregsonjewels.com for yourself or as a perfect Christmas Present!

Zuhair Murad Holiday Selection
December 10, 2011 § 1 Comment
I absolutely adore Zuhair Murad creations. And so do a lot of celebrities. Above Miley Cyrus chose it for Oscars, Blake Lively was wearing it on set of Gossip Girl and Katy Perry (a big fan who has been seen in Zuhair Murad on numerous occasions) for Vanity Fair Party.
So if you want to make your celebration this winter very special, it is an obvious go to designer – you would sparkle and shine and for sure feel like an A-lister. Of course this does not come cheap – dresses start from £3500. So yes, for most of us those dresses will be unattainable, but hey, it doesn’t mean we can’t dream (or use them as inspiration for finding similar styles at more affordable prices).
The three dresses above are from Zuhair Murad range available at Harrods:
1. Angel Lace Gown, £5650
2. Beaded Shift Dress, £4025
3. Velvet Sequin Dress, £4125
Velvet, lace, beads and sequin are the top features of Zuhair Murad dresses this season – are they in your holiday wardrobe?
Unusual Christmas Wish List
December 9, 2011 § 2 Comments

Here is my Summery Christmas Wishlist which will hopefully inspire you to compile a slightly unusual Christmas wishlist or purchase a few summery presents:
Miss Trish Splash flip-flops, £40 from net-a-porter

Topshop Holiday Season Picks
December 8, 2011 § Leave a comment
Here is another pick of best holiday dresses – this time from my personal fashion Disney Land – Topshop! As I have said before holidays and sequin dresses are a perfect match (at least in my head) so here I have decided just to concentrate on beautiful sequin dresses that can easily make it into your holiday wardrobe (don’t judge me, I had to narrow down the choice somehow – so many possibilities with Topshop this season). And also they are all bodycon – most versatile and definitely a must-have shape this winter. Plus the prices will make you happy – rarely can you find quality sequin dresses for £50-58! Enjoy:
1. Sequin Bodycon Dress by Dress Up Topshop, £58. Love, love, love. Big New Year party, here I come!
2. Jeweled Mesh Bodycon Dress in Nude, £50. Sequin does not have to be super-flashy. This dress would make you look great at both – office party and night club.
3. Baroque Bodycon Sequin Dress, £58. When you need a bit more Va Va Vom! I would suggest simple shoes to keep this dress the focal point of the outfit.
