[OUTFIT] Florals & Leather

outfit

Jumper: Vero Moda (similar here from ASOS) / Leather pants: Zadig et Voltaire (similar here) / Snakeskin heels: Blanco (similar here) / Watch: Michael Kors / iPhone case: Marc by Marc Jacobs

It’s been gorgeous weather this week (well except the downpour this morning) and I was feeling quite summery (to me leather works all seasons!). As you know, l love the unexpected; such as clashing neon floral prints with snakeskin. But it actually works when combined with some more neutral elements, such as my favourite cropped leather skinny pants.

Anyways, hope you’re enjoying your Friday evening so far! It’s the 7th and final day of my all juice cleanse (whoohoo!) and I can’t actually believe I’ve done it! So proud. Read more about how it went and my results tomorrow.

F&F Printed Bandeau Top, £8.99 (similar here and here). 

In preparation for my holiday to Croatia next Thursday – I’ve been on the lookout for some nice bikinis. I am a big fan of mix & match with bikinis – often opting for colourful tops (always in a bandeau shape) and my trusted black bottoms.

It was pretty much love at first sight when I spotted this multicoloured leopard printed bikini top – yes, sounds pretty hideous – but it actually works, and the neon will look fab with a tan! I didn’t get the whole set, as I think it would have been too OTT.

Now, all I have to work on is prepping my bikini body for the beach… I’m on day 5 of the juicing, and finally feeling better (after the first 3/4 first days of feeling like hell). A full juice report, with a day to day diary, will follow on Saturday!

Discovered our new local pub, which just happens to serve the best Pizza in town (one of my all-time favourite guilty pleasures) and amazing deserts…

Yes, another selfie, enjoying a rare sunny day down South! / One of our local shops in our new neighbourhood happens to be Whole Foods, the most amazing natural food market ever! Deli, organic food, health counter, wine – amazing. These curried Kale chips are to die for, and the perfect healthy snack!

Obsessed with my new zebra printed cashmere scarf, a gift from my father, all the way from Nepal. He really knows me too well.

Cardigan: J.Crew / T-shirt: Gap / Jeans: J Brand / Sunglasses: D&G / Bag: YSL 

What a beautiful sunny weekend in London! I’m on day 2 of the juicing, and boy, it ain’t easy. I’ve not exactly chosen the best weekend or week to start it on, with a busy day out on Saturday spent with the lovely Natalie, a Sunday brunch with friends today (ah the temptations!) and several events next week. But hey, when is ever a good time?

Anyways, back to my outfit; wearing my new 100% cashmere neon pink cardigan from J.Crew. I love the colour (basically, I’m a fan of anything neon) – and teamed it here with a super casual weekend look; my grey skinnies, simple white tee, ballerina flats and my trusted YSL Cabas. Perfect off-duty style!

 

[LIFESTYLE] Juice, Juice, Juice!

juicing juicing-3 juicing-5 juicing-6

In preparation for my 7-day cleanse, I have had to gather a few (a lot) of bits in the last few days. I’ve already got my juicer, and now a brand new Philips blender (essential for the avocado, banana, ice cubes, etc.), the 7-day cleanse book (by Jason Vale), a whole load of food shopping from Wholefoods (note, not all ingredients for the juice cleansing) and some final grocery shopping last night from my local supermarket to keep it all fresh.

Some essential ingredients? Apples (a lot), carrots, pineapple, kale, beetroot, ginger, avocado, spirulina, wheatgrass, probiotic… only mentioning some.

Let’s go!

[OUTFIT] Denim & Bouclé

The sun is out! And what better way to celebrate than bringing out the light denim and loafers? You just can’t go wrong with a great denim shirt. I have yet to have perfected the denim-on-denim trend – or rather, yet to have ventured out with it. I personally like to wear denim together with leather or black jeans, then rather add on some ‘pop’ colours to make the outfit more exciting, and less casual.

1 more day until the weekend! I start my 7-day juice cleanse on Saturday – will let you know how it goes!

[NEW IN] London Rebel Gold Leather Ballerinas

Apr 16, 2013 by Anneli in FASHION 4 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: accessories, ballerinas, FASHION, gold ballerinas, leather, london rebel, outfit, shoes, shopping, tk maxx

Ballerinas: London Rebel, £19.99 (similar here and here) / Shirt: Vero Moda (similar here) / Jeans: J Brand 

Spring is in the air, and my love for flats and ballerinas in all colours and combination, is revived. First ballerina pair in? These gorgeous gold leather flats bought at TK Maxx (a great British designer discount outlet) from London Rebel.

The first thing which is essential when searching for good flat shoes, is the shape. I am particular about many things when it comes to my own style; one of them being the shape of my shoes. I never go for anything too bulky or heavy – always with a slim line/almond shape fit. I like my feet to look petite, and not being the centre of attention (this is excluding killer heels – I never mind these to be colourful or ‘loud’ – yet I also like these pretty slim, hence strappy sandals are my favourite).

So, I guess I just let you in on one of my many particular and ‘weird’ things I have about my fashion (I am sure there is more to come!). Now over to the main subject of this post - the gold ballerina beauties. Such a simple pair of shoes, yet effective and super versatile. Wear them with a relaxed outfit or a blazer, add on some great jewellery and a statement bag, and it’s the perfect casual office/weekend outfit!

 

[WISH LIST] #1 Spring Favourites

Apr 15, 2013 by Anneli in FASHION 4 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: acne, dannijo, FASHION, Maison Scotch, Nicholas Jocelyn, Spring, ss13, topshop, wish list

wishlistEmbellished Crystal Necklace from Dannijo / White leather jacket from Acne / Aztec Embroidered Clutch Bag from Maison Scotch / Denim dress from Topshop / Lace zip pelmet skirt from Topshop / Embossed suede sandals from Nicholas Jocelyn.

After a very long winter and a slow spring (well, non-existent really), I was glad to step off the plane yesterday, and breath in fresh and warm (ish) air. I’m not sure I am quite ready to bear any legs just yet - I might wait until after Croatia to show off these white pins – I’m still lusting for a real statement skirt to wear very soon. This one above from Topshop sure does the trick (and what a steal price!). Teamed with the perfect black strappy sandals (and I mean – these are perfect) and Acne’s white leather biker jacket (to-die-for) – I am ready for SPRING. Don’t forget to add on some WOW accessories (check out ASOS for some amazing tribal prints) and some bling – both of which are fail safe outfit additions!
