<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Today I would like to share with you my favourite weekend shoes. They are great for walking around in the winter, comfortable but also trendy and stylish. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">The shoes are by Carvela. I never buy high street shoes full price so I waited a whole year for them to go in the sale and got them with 30% off in Selfridges. That weekend, I decided to wear them with jeans (Zara sale) and Prada wool coat. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Today I would like to share with you my outfit for a 1920's party. As you can see from the first picture, I was wearing a vintage fur with a genuine pearl necklace and a vintage Chanel bag. Red lipstick and nail vanish are a MUST for a vintage evening!<br />

<br />
Here is a snapshot of my outift today. It's freezing in London so I'm wearing thick grey tights with my favourite comfy Chanel shoes. They were an amazing present from by boyfriend for our 5th anniversary.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today I would like to introduce to you my 1946 Hermes Kelly bag!<br />
<br />
I bought it second hand for an amazing price and it's one of the most precious items in my secret closet.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kT_u8uShaBA/TyGPx5u3MqI/AAAAAAAAAI0/E55PBWITU2U/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kT_u8uShaBA/TyGPx5u3MqI/AAAAAAAAAI0/E55PBWITU2U/s640/photo.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Do you like the colour? I think it's so versatile. You can wear it with black, blue and brown tones. Also, it's very unlikely that you will bump into someone who has the same! <br />
<br />
The one question that always come up with vintage items is CONDITION. This bag has seen better days but isn't it normal for something that is 66 years old to have a few wrinkles? A bag is made to be worn, not to sit around in a box!!!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy this post.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today I want to share with you one of my latest Antique finds. In contrast with many people, I adore Antique jewellery. Most of the times, you wouldn't be able to find such pieces in a modern shop, especially not at the same price. I love the fact that every item has its own history and has been around for longer than I have! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m9xQJaJ0gI4/Tx_fNSOs1aI/AAAAAAAAAIs/uYxvG9c4QFs/s1600/photo2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m9xQJaJ0gI4/Tx_fNSOs1aI/AAAAAAAAAIs/uYxvG9c4QFs/s640/photo2.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So this is my antique smoky quartz 9ct gold ring. Didn't need re-sizing when I bought it so I think it was meant to be mine! Don't you love all the detail? Such a perfect ring that you can wear day and night!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I find the end of the sale season terribly depressing so I went to have a look around the high street for some new season beauties. And this is what I found in H&M...RABBITS!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jy_zXWPsH9I/Tx6aI0qHwaI/AAAAAAAAAIU/ZjHgKoHuroU/s1600/photo3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="392" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jy_zXWPsH9I/Tx6aI0qHwaI/AAAAAAAAAIU/ZjHgKoHuroU/s640/photo3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I am in love with this print! They used it to make lots of different garnments, dresses, tops, etc. I chose a peter pan collar blouse. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ydPP0Bs4AFk/Tx7U2a_QdEI/AAAAAAAAAIc/UKUBhkqfR9s/s1600/photo%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="456" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ydPP0Bs4AFk/Tx7U2a_QdEI/AAAAAAAAAIc/UKUBhkqfR9s/s640/photo%255B1%255D.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Quality is not bad for H&M...100% viscose! Price 12.99£ GO FOR IT!<br />
A little tip: as it's for the divided section, go for 1 to 2 sizes bigger than normal!<br />
<br />

<br />
my post today is about two of my favourite brands, Miu Miu and Les Nereides.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VkMdr-KRxXA/Tx1fCTCoe9I/AAAAAAAAAIM/N9XuMBtgm9M/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nfa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VkMdr-KRxXA/Tx1fCTCoe9I/AAAAAAAAAIM/N9XuMBtgm9M/s640/photo.JPG" width="478" /></a></div>I bought the Miu Miu bracelet when it first came out at what seemed to be a very reasonable price (65£). Since then the price has gone up considerably. This is not only true for their jewellery but for shoes, bags and clothing too. I find this a bit annoying since the design and the quality is exactly the same. They should be careful not to lose their loyal customers.<br />
<br />
I discovered Les Nereides about 6 years ago when they still had their shop on King's road. Since then, I have accumulated a little collection of their pieces. I love everything they do, including the funky N2 collection. This bracelet is my latest buy, an absolute bargain in the sale!<br />
<br />
I hope you like them as much as I do!<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I thought about you bloggers yesterday when I was packing my neverfull Louis Vuitton bag and then realised that it was actually FULL for once...I had a busy day running around London!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is a picture of my bag with my cousin's little dog in it...she loves it in there!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A quick word about LV...did you know that the LV monogram fabric is NOT leather??? I also think their quality has gone down hill compared to the past. My bag is clearly not the same quality as my mum's Vintage one...I love mine anyway and was one of the best presents ever!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ho pensato a voi bloggers ieri mentre preparavo la mia borsa Louis Vuitton modello 'neverfull' (mai piena) e mi sono resa conto che in realta' era piena zeppa...ho avuto una giornata piena girovagando x Londra!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Questa e' una foto della borsa con il cagnolino dei miei cuginetti...adora stare nella borsa!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Una nota breve su Louis Vuitton, sapevate che il tessuto usato per le borse NON e' pelle??? Inoltre la qualita' e' molto peggiorata rispetto al passato...la mia borsa non e' allo stesso livello di quello della borsa vintage di mia mamma...comunque la adoro ed e' stato uno dei piu bei regali mai ricevuti!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

As you can see these are some beautiful Chanel, classic, black sandals. And they are one of the reasons why I know that buying full price is often not worth it...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In fact, I bought these beauties for a reduced price in a second hand boutique...I then realised that Chanel had a very similar model on sale in their 2011 summer collection for 3 TIMES the price!!! OH MY GOD! That's what I call the bargain of the century!!!Don't you think???</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Parlando di smalti...ho pensato di farvi vedere i miei sandali preferiti dell'estate 2011 prima che tornino nella loro scatola fino all'anno prossimo. Come potete vedere e' un sandalo nero, classico di marca Chanel. Sono anche una prova che comprare a prezzo pieno molte volte non valga la pena...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Infatti ho comprato questi sandali ad un prezzo scontato in una boutique di seconda mano...poi mi sono accorta che Chanel aveva un modello molto simile nella collezione attuale pero' al triplo del prezzo!!!

<br />
After a week of Chanel treats, it's back to jewellery again!<br />
<br />
This time I'd like to share with you my new charm found in Portobello market...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMtNCQz0yRg/TnImxpDThPI/AAAAAAAAAF4/dDRgVkkZGro/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" rba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMtNCQz0yRg/TnImxpDThPI/AAAAAAAAAF4/dDRgVkkZGro/s640/photo.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
It's 9 carat gold and there is a hallmark on every key. The nice thing is that all the keys are held together by a ring that can not be open so I will never lose any! <br />
<br />
Can you read the 'secret' message? I spotted this charm from a mile and I knew I had to have it.<br />
<br />
And you know what the best thing is....? I found similar ones for sale in Liberty for nearly FOUR times the price so I know it was a bargain!!!<br />

<br />
The time has come to reveal<strong> where</strong> and <strong>why</strong> there are <strong>Chanel </strong>logos on lamp posts in London...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L7HAEe5gdOc/TnDDVkKpf3I/AAAAAAAAAF0/e4r-NDiMc9o/s1600/Coco-Chanel-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" rba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L7HAEe5gdOc/TnDDVkKpf3I/AAAAAAAAAF0/e4r-NDiMc9o/s640/Coco-Chanel-1.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><br />
-The borough is <strong>Westminster</strong>. The photo I posted yesterday was actually taken outside the Thomas Goode shop on South Audley Street in the heart of Mayfair.<br />
<br />
-Why??? as Classiq rightly said, Coco Chanel had a relationship with the Duke of Westminster in the 1920s and people say he put the Chanel logo on the lamp posts to make her feel at home and special whenever she visited London. I guess it's a gesture of Love!<br />
<br />
that's all folks!<br />

<br />
Did you have a nice weekend?<br />
<br />
On saturday I had time to pop into <strong>Harrods</strong> to check out the 'World of <strong>Chanel</strong>'. It consists in two pop-up shops on the ground floor: a beauty and fragrance counter and a fashion & accessories 'grotto'. The latest is AMAZING, being there is like a dream. <br />
<br />
There is also a Chanel 'promenade' on the third floor with some historic pieces and art explaining the history and heritage of the Chanel brand...wonderful! No pictures allowed so you'll have to go and see for yourself!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I have just about recovered from the London Vogue Fashion Night out and I am ready to share with you my experiences of the evening. <br />
<br />
I started the night by hitting <strong>Roger Vivier</strong> for Champagne and Truffles. There, a fashion illustrator drew a sketch of me...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--vSDwLlzLh4/Tmn3_gk47zI/AAAAAAAAAFA/cI__LlS6BGg/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--vSDwLlzLh4/Tmn3_gk47zI/AAAAAAAAAFA/cI__LlS6BGg/s640/untitled.bmp" width="368" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The illustrator was so talented! Don't you think? Can you recognize the bow (see next pic)?<br />
The night continued in <strong>Harvey Nichols</strong> with a milk jar full of delicious cocktail! <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Just a quick note to say that I will be attending the Vogue Fashion Night Out in London today!<br />
I will be in Sloane street for a Champagne and Truffle session and then hitting Bond Street & surroundings!<br />
For the occasion I am wearing a blue Miu Miu dress with Ferragamo bow ballerinas. A big hint will be my Miu Miu bag...there are only 7 in the world, so catch me if you can!<br />
<br />

<br />
Today I want to talk to you about matching accessories...When I buy a bag, I always think it would be nice to buy the matching wallet, make-up bag, key holder etc...but then I think that I am already overspending on the bag alone so forget the accessories. Plus it would be just like going into a shop, seeing something you like on the mannequin but then buying the whole outfit, it's a sign of lack of imagination.<br />
What happens with me very often is that I buy an itam and then a later purchase happens to match it perfectly!!! Does it ever happen to you?<br />
<br />
So this is my match made in heaven...<br />
<br />

<br />
one of my favourite bags...Miu Miu...bought a few years ago; matched with a brand new Prada wallet... <br />

</div>I guess it helps that they are from the same designer so the color is not completely different. What do you think? Do you like this match made in Heaven???<br />

<br />
I don't know how many of you read the post about me on my friend Kirsty's <a href="http://kirstandthefashioncrowd.blogspot.com/2011/08/secret-s.html">blog</a> but it inspired one of my antique buys at the weekend...the post was about Kirtsy raiding my shoe wardrobe and admiring some of my favourite shoes (Chanel & Miu Miu...have a look <a href="http://kirstandthefashioncrowd.blogspot.com/2011/08/secret-s.html">here!</a>). She took some lovely pictures and wrote about me that "She's no peacock striving to boast her best side, but more of an owl who takes flight only at night - so only those looking are able to see its beauty"<br />
So this is what I found at the weekend...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9euJIqQTdTw/TmY3F3_dwXI/AAAAAAAAAEk/Z0nl5mmpNDw/s1600/owl.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9euJIqQTdTw/TmY3F3_dwXI/AAAAAAAAAEk/Z0nl5mmpNDw/s640/owl.JPG" width="514" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I am back after a weekend of BBQ, painting and antiques' fair...!!! Today I wanted to talk about the dilemma of buying full price or waiting for the items on our wish list to go on sale...<br />
Here is an outfit that I wore on saturday to visit Borough Market. I bought the dress and the shoes at the beginning of the season and therefore paid full price (or almost) for them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l199-YawJPg/TmTLc_8htVI/AAAAAAAAAEY/Aa2VLdph8dc/s1600/dress.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l199-YawJPg/TmTLc_8htVI/AAAAAAAAAEY/Aa2VLdph8dc/s640/dress.JPG" width="376" /></a></div><br />
The dress is by Miu Miu cruise collection 2011 whereas the shoes are Prada, bought with a small reduction (15%) in Liberty when snow was still on the pavements in january. Everybody thought I was completely crazy to buy such expensive items so early in the season. Well, I think I made the most of them and consider them as two of the best buys of the year. As you can see from the second picture I started wearing the LBD in the winter for a night out, if I could I would wear that dress everyday!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0i8Y5bDQ6ag/TmTLrr7fv6I/AAAAAAAAAEc/7qpnuLDdx8c/s1600/179797_614408181145_222400350_5926321_7958964_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0i8Y5bDQ6ag/TmTLrr7fv6I/AAAAAAAAAEc/7qpnuLDdx8c/s640/179797_614408181145_222400350_5926321_7958964_n.jpg" width="606" /></a></div><br />
Just for your interest accessories in the first picture are as follows: Dior heart charm bracelet, Ice watch and Gucci bag, H&M cardigan. Second picture: Topshop cardigan, Ice watch and Longchamp bag.<br />
<br />
So was I right to 'splash the cash'? Do you buy full price to be sure to have the item? Or do you wait risking never seeing it again?<br />
<br />

<br />
Just a little announcement to start...this blog has now reached it's first 1000 views! I know it's nothing compared to other blogs but you've got to start from somewhere right? Plus, I kind of abandoned you for 2 months or so!<br />
Today I'd like to share with you my favourite shorts of summer 2011. They combine two summer trends: lace and cut out fabric. I love the effect of the wavy fabric, do you know any other shops where I could find this cut??? I saw some cheap tops in Topshop but they didn't suit me at all! :-(<br />

<br />
Thanks a lot for the feedback on yesterday's post and since you loved the Chanel scarf I thought I'd share with you another one of my Chanel treasures. First, a bit of history about Chanel bags. I HATE hearing people say 'I'd like to buy the classic chanel bag' meaning the CC logo one...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n-tBnoX-kOk/Tl-ud-vgPpI/AAAAAAAAAEA/h8wR4vzJfBw/s1600/vintage-chanel-handbag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n-tBnoX-kOk/Tl-ud-vgPpI/AAAAAAAAAEA/h8wR4vzJfBw/s320/vintage-chanel-handbag.jpg" width="320" xaa="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>This is NOT the bag that Coco created. The CC is a later addition by Karl Lagerfeld to revamp the brand! The classic bag looked a bit more like this:<br />

The point is that you did not need to have the logo on as the distinguishing feature was the chain!!!<br />
So now that I've set the record straight let's have a look at this VINTAGE beauty...<br />
<br />

What do you think guys? I know it's not the classic bag but I love it because I have never seen another one like it and when I wear it I am sure I will be the only one in the room with that particular model! I ususally wear this bag with jeans and a cream shirt...Simple!<br />
Just a little piece of advice...always check the authenticity of the bag you are purchasing! This can be easily done by going into your local Chanel branch where they will send it to Paris for you to receive a certificate!<br />
I look forward to hearing from you.<br />

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.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">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.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ts1F3-YjUUg/Tl4CtfsxpJI/AAAAAAAAAD4/5zqL-Erq1wQ/s1600/P1060973%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ts1F3-YjUUg/Tl4CtfsxpJI/AAAAAAAAAD4/5zqL-Erq1wQ/s400/P1060973%255B1%255D.JPG" width="400" xaa="true" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">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?</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0gs7vB8qvvQ/Tl4DovKh8ZI/AAAAAAAAAD8/dDqWdiSzGMs/s1600/P1060990%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0gs7vB8qvvQ/Tl4DovKh8ZI/AAAAAAAAAD8/dDqWdiSzGMs/s640/P1060990%255B1%255D.JPG" width="406" xaa="true" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">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...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So another two treasures revealed! I hope you enjoy them!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">xxx TheSecretCloset xxx</div>TheSecretClosethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04224678803183502822noreply@blogger.com5
