Beautiful Bags

I have an extreme affection for handbags.  There are so many I want to own, with a Chanel quilted bag at the top of my enormous wish list.  

Pretty please with a cherry on top!

I also love bags by Mulberry, Michael Kors, Aspinal of London, Prada, Lulu Guinness, Biba, Modalu, Chloe and too many more to mention.

Office Spring/ Summer 2013 Sandals

I’m getting excited about sandal season.  It will be a while before I can start wearing them in Glasgow unfortunately, but for now I can source the best out there on the high street and plan my purchases wisely!  Office already have an amazing collection of sandals available at http://www.office.co.uk.  I especially like the buckle detailing!  Here’s my favourite Office Sandals so far!

Impatient Black Leather Sandals, £40.00.

 

Iron Lady Tan Nubuck Sandals, £55.00.

 

Inca Trail Tan Leather Multi-texture Sandals, £28.00.

 

 

Manicure Mania Spring 2013 Nails Inc London

I love a manicured set of nails. It looks so much better than plain nails, and definitely makes my engagement ring stand out and sparkle more.  Plus polished nails just make my hands look so much nicer.  I know that nail art is huge right now, but its just not my thing.  I’m more classic, and prefer to stick to one colour on my nails, and perhaps a bit of glitter for the odd occasion!  

Here’s some of my favourite shades and brands for Spring 2013 nails!  You can buy 10 shades, pick and mix for £65.00 on their website http://www.nailsinc.com/pick-and-mix.

In keeping with the pink spring 2013 colour trend, I love these shades from Nails Inc London.

Swinging Sixties Spring Make-Up

I am very excited that the sixties is in full swing for spring/ summer 2013 beauty! Featured in Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Michael Kors, and Luis Viutton. The sixties are one of my favourite decades for fashion and beauty style. Some of my most adorned icons are from this era, including Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn, Mary Quant, Marianne Faithfull and many more. It somehow looks effortless, sexy, funky, and glamorous all at the same time. I love the doe eyes, fluttering lashes, and nude lips. I might revive the sixties look this year by rocking doe eyes, and a bright coral or pink lipstick (nothing too garish of course). Teamed with blonde volumised up-do, I’ll be in full-blown party mode.

Valentino Spring 2013

Valentino Spring 2013

I really like the collar and bib detail on this dress. The high neck, sophisticated just below the knee-length, and flash of underskirt make this dress sexy and elegant. The pointed shoes, up-do and make-up create the perfect look.

Chanel Spring 2013 Wish List Continued.

This is so beautiful, but I’d wear it without the hat and trousers!

I love this dress. The pastel pink works great with black, and the lace gives it a more delicate feel. The shape of the dress is futuristic yet sixties at the same time. It would work equally well with bare legs and beautiful shoes!

Chanel Spring 2013 Wish List Continued

Loving that it’s maxi, monochrome, and floral all in one. Absolutely stunning.

Monochrome

Loving that Monochrome was featured in Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, and Marc Jacobs runways for Spring 2013. I’m planning on investing in some timeless pieces, that I’ll be able to dig out for seasons to come! It’s so wearable anytime of the year and looks incredibly chic!
