Scarf-mania!

Hello everybody!
I have been thinking about this blog and I came to realise that I'm not really showing you any outfits...just bits of my wardrobe. So I realised that the difference between me and other bloggers is that I am not really a stylist, I consider myself more of a fashion collector. I don't buy things to show off to people but for my own pleasure. I love every item I own and I admire it like you admire a painting in a museum.
So I don't think I am going to change my style of blogging for now...today I want to show you two beautiful scarves that are essential for this chilly end of summer.





As you know I pay a lot of attention to materials so this beautiful Chanel scarf is 90% modal 10% cashmere, all natural fibers. Don't you love the sequin detail for the logo?



At the other end of the color scale is this beautiful Gucci shawl made of 70% wool and 30% silk, very luxurious and soft. I believe mixing materials gives a more casual look compared to a 100% silk scarf which has that particular shine to it...
So another two treasures revealed! I hope you enjoy them!

Today I am wearing...

Hello everybody!
What do you wear on a lazy day? Well...today I wanted to share with you a snapshot of my favourite comfy clothes. Here are my Lanvin sneakers which I absolutely love. I bought them in the winter sale and never regretted it! You would never believe it but, despite being made of wool fabric, they protect me for the sporadic London rain!


Aside from leggings (always paired with shorts) I am wearing a green and white stripy top bought in Urban Outfitters (Boston) and a Miu Miu black loose cardy. If it was for me I would wear this combo every day!



About the accessories, I love blinging this outfit up with a stack of eternity rings. Each of the rings has a very special meaning as they were gifts from people I love. The rubis are the same colour of my nail vanish and the emeralds match the stripes! What do you think? xxx

precious jewels






Dear all,

I feel really bad for not posting regularly on the blog...so I thought today I would share some of my favourite jewellery pieces with you. The first is a Dior bracelet that I picked up in a 50% off sale over 5 years ago. I simply love it. The second is a Chanel necklace that I bought last winter. I love this classic piece as you can wear it both short or long. In the picture I am wearing a Whistles silk shirt that I also picked up in the 50% off summer sale this year. What do you think of the pieces?

I promise I'll keep in touch more often! xxx
