White on white on white on white...

My focus at the moment is white, after a wonderfully snowy winter I'm jumping into spring with my tail feathers behind me and all I can think of is white. Its a colour that not everyone can wear and to be honest I'm not too sure I can pass it off 100%, but that doesn't stop me trying!

My initial inspiration came from this...LOVE it! I want to wear his "out out", and soon, while its still a bit nippy because the fur just works!

Heres a few other inspirational white ensembles from Calvin Klein and Elie Saab to ASOS and Boohoo...(Haven't had much time so its a little thin for my liking!)

Calvin Klein - I love the optical illusion this overlay creates and its a stunning shape to boot!

Balmain - can you say much more!

Elie Saab - 3 stunning dresses that would do most justice...stunning perfection!

A beautifully cut sheer top with amazing jewellery over, simple!

Love this bag, a little bit of monochrome into the mix!

I wish I lived somewhere like New York where this would be acceptable, I think walking down my High Street would be a stretch even for me...how I love it though?

This is £20 from Boohoo...very Simone Rocha, I plan to take it in at the hem to become less maxi and wear it on my city break to Marrakech (Have I mentioned I'm going there?!? ha)

These have put a serious hinder on my plans to buy the classic black version...now I'm thinking I have black heels....£42 from ASOS, I think it would be a crime not too!

How would you wear it!

Enjoy

Marrakesh & me....

So Elle-phant & I and our best friend have booked a short break to Marrakesh to celebrate and me being me, I cannot wait to go and have already starting looking at swimwear I could possibly nab in the christas sales...likely? Probably not, but who cares!

As I have mentioned before I no longer tan, so I've resorted to the mindset that I'll just fake it and wear incredibly amazing swimwear instead and not worry about tan lines like others would have to! Every cloud and all that!

Heres what I have found so far...LOVE!

Agent Provocateur - £110 - Simple...chic...

Balmain - £242 - A little bit extra, remind you of anyone?ha

Mara Hoffman - £190 - Love this woman...nothing is too complex, the issue of getting these contraption looking one pieces on in the morning worries me, but the prints are to die for!

Mara Hoffamn - £253 - And I completley conradict myself...but wouldn't you! Just look at it, swoon!

Mara Hoffman - £78 - Notice the non-pattern of the prints available, a girl after my own heart...this one makes me think of bananas & Mondrian...

Melissa Odabsh- £598 - Like the detailing, but a little too pricey me thinks...

We Are Handsome - £205 - My favourite so far...its not what I expected to like but I just think not everyone is fierce enought to wear it...get it, fierce? Im wasted on here...

Agent Provocateur - £225 - Oooohhh how i like this... 

We Are Handsome - £142.50 - Going to North Africa this seems pretty apt?!

Agent Provocateur - £110 - The pink/orange version...a little more me... 

Im still looking but I thought I'd fill you in, means as I'm sure everthing is christmas, tinsel, and wrapping paper right now!

Enjoy

Embellish in me...

I am loving embellishment right now and I'm hoping it'll hold out long enough for my birthday without being the played out trend....my hope is its a little too much for people, at least the way I'd rock it! See if you can see how I plan to make an outfit from these inspirational piccys!

I wont say I'll post a picture when I'm finished as 9/10 I'm far too drunk to remember to have a picture taken...I'll try though! ;)

Enjoy

Tribal Nail Rocks

I'm very tempted by these tribal Nail Rock wraps available at ASOS, but as I still have 3 other packets sitting somewhat untouched I think I'll resist for my pockets sake! I just don't go ANYWHERE enough! The con of having your own place :(

Would be nice to have the ring finger highlighted between jet black glossy claws or minty green fresh pointers with the middle finger triballed up for maximum finger flippin!!! Orange, purple, pink, everything works with tribal clashes!

Enjoy

Something I actually would like to buy from Tophop! : o

Floyd Maxi Dress by Unique....
The pattern is cats!!! haha An inside joke between Elephant & I! Its part of Topshops'Unique SS12 collection based around egyptian influences of pyramids ,Cleopatra and the infamous cat references.
The first time in a long time I've been tempted by something in Cloneshop, sorry Topshop. But at £110 I don't think I'll buy it any time soon...heres what I would do....

Can't find a dress....

But I can find a gorgeous tartan coat with huge shearling collar...both things are a big tick on my fave list!

The "Maison Scotch Check aviator jacket" is available at ASOS for £157.50 reduced from £225 - a statement piece to sit in your wardrobe for years to come, I wish, I wish, I wish!!!

Just call me shoebo...

I never discriminate against a shoe....orange, purple, leopard, spikey, strappy...whatever they may be, there definatley the accessory for me!!!

Below are my fave picks of some luxury brands - some available at Selfridges in Birmingham...I LOVE LOVE LOVE & wish I could afford ANY of the Louboutins...i'm not fussy whatever pair - if your feeling generous!!!)

Iv'e also found some alternatives at a much more affordable price all below £150 (which in my case is more suitable & in fact a treat!!!) I have my eyes on the spikey leopards from Kandee (online), the colour block coral pair from Topshop (available in town) & the ankle strap pair from River Island! ooohhh slut shoes,haha...

Sounds a bit obvious but shop in Birmingham!!! Rather than surf the net - physically go there....new shops won't open unless we are there spending...besides why wait a few days to try on something gorgeous to realise you need the next size up when The Bullring & Selfridges is open 8pm Mon-Sat & 5pm on Sundays - perfect for a little after work treat!

Over & out (i'm off to town!)
