[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!

 

[WISH LIST] AllSaints SS13

Mar 23, 2013 by Anneli in FASHION 5 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: allsaints, brand, FASHION, new season, shop, shopping, ss13, style, wish list

wishlistAllSaints SS13 is seriously nice this season, with natural colours and classic trend led pieces. I have been lusting after a white leather jacket for a while, and I think this might be the one. And how about the nude waistcoat? Not to forget the grey leather booties and the perfect lace dress… Yes, just about all of it!

Navy coat, white leather jacket, nude sleeveless blazer, grey leather booties, white lace dress & patch work skinny jeans.

Mar 2, 2013 by Anneli in FASHION 3 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: accessories, FASHION, monnier freres, style, wish list

wishlistI am currently coveting and dreaming of more bling, diamonds and shiny, pretty things hanging around my neck, ears and hands. Anything to get me through this never ending winter, in time for spring. Now that I’ve done a proper clean out in my wardrobe, I can see clearly what I need (yes, need, I say). All from my current favourite shopping destination for accessories…Monnier Frères.

Leaf earrings from Anton Heunis, multicolour bib necklace from Ela Stone, rose gold skull ring from Rita Et Zia, gold bib necklace from Elena Meyer, snake bracelet from Kenneth Jay Lane & bling earrings from Shorouk.

wishlist-1

…and soft brown shades, are colours I’m really craving at the moment – preferably together, preferably all the above. Not too much to ask for is it?

Studded zipped clutch bag from Oasap, ‘Homies’ cotton sweatshirt from Brian Lichtenberg, printed wool and silk-blend scarf from Bindya, clear open toe booties from MM6 Maison Martin Margiela, printed silk skirt from Marni & tortoise printed glasses from Super. 

[WISH LIST] IRO SS13

Untitled-2Untitled-1

IRO’s SS13 look book… PERFECTION, in every way. 

Slim fit bouclé jackets, cropped denim shorts, skinny white jeans, oversized knits and distressed sweat jumpers. Yes, this is actually how I (plan) to look this summer.

[WISH LIST] Saint Laurent

Jan 25, 2013 by Anneli in FASHION 2 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: FASHION, net-a-porter, saint laurent, shopping, wish list

I have to admit I was rather pessimistic to the name change of Yves Saint Laurent – to just Saint Laurent – when I first heard about it; YSL is just so iconic with it’s signature ‘Y’. However, I must say, I rather like (love!) the new season from chief designer Hedi Slimane. The collection is more edgier than we’ve seen in the past, yet remaining it’s classic and signature ladylike elements (although, it will always be YSL in my heart.)

These are my favorites from NET-A-PORTER…

‘Betty 2′ medium chain leather shoulder bag, cotton-jersey sweatshirt, suede and leather shopper, electric blue leather heels, chain-trimmed leather mini skirt, suede ankle booties (favourite!).

 

[WIBT] // 6 Simple Sale Tips

Jan 22, 2013 by Anneli in FASHION 3 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: designer, FASHION, investment, sale, sale tips, shopping, wibt, wish list

Animal print jumper from Topshop Boutique (now £35), silver plated cuff from Philippe Audibert (now £130), shearling and wool-blend coat from A.L.C (now £624), patent-leather pumps from YSL (now £269.50), cable-knit wool blend sweater from Joseph (now £242.50) and croc-effect ankle boots from Stella McCartney (now £244).  

 Amidst my many sale posts, I thought I’s just give you a little insight into how I shop during the sales, through some simple shopping tips…

6 Sale Tips:

1. Go for classic colours and cuts; styles and shades which you know suit you. Don’t try a new colour or trend, just because it’s on sale! Big no-no.

2. Sale is a great time to go for luxe designer pieces on sale; purchasing one great piece is a better long term investement than a load of cheap things (unless of course they are classic and clean pieces that fit perfectly in your existing wardrobe, in which case you can find some fab pieces on the high street.)

3. Don’t impulse buy on sale – write down a list of pieces you are missing in your wardrobe, and stick to it.

4. Go for pieces which are versatile, without to many overpowering ‘trend’ elements (i.e psychedelic floral prints). If you do go for ‘trends’, then make sure you opt for styles which are occurring and have proven longevity (over several seasons, i.e animal print, statement jackets).

5. Invest in good quality materials, such as wool or leather. Pieces that will last you across several seasons.

6. In the end of the day, go for pieces which you know you personally like and suit, then you just can’t go wrong!

Happy Shopping,
Anneli x
 
 

[WISH LIST] Pop Colour

Jan 16, 2013 by Anneli in FASHION 4 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: accessories, asos, clothes, FASHION, karen walker, KARL, smythson, topshop, topshop boutique, wish list

 

I need colour in my life! This dreary weather and long January is really taking a toll on my wardrobe and inspiration. I am particularly into colourful accessories at the moment, such as statement earrings and neon beanies. Sunglasses are always high on my wish list, and you can just can’t go wrong with tortoise print (works throughout all seasons). A bright notebook is much needed in my life at the moment as well – I want somewhere pretty to note down inspiration, ideas and wish lists for the new year!

Rib neon beanie from Topshop, PVC sleeve cotton-jersey sweatshirt from KARL (not exactly a colour, but fab all the same – on sale now!), tortoise print sunglasses from Karen Walker, jewel perspex disc earrings from ASOS, quilted triangle skirt by Topshop Boutique (on sale now!) and ‘Blah Blah Blah’ textured leather notebook from Smythson. 

 

[WISH LIST] New Years Eve

Dec 30, 2012 by Anneli in FASHION COMMENT ❤ HERE TAGS: accessories, dresses, earrings, heels, new years eve, party, sequins, wish list

Sadly I’m not spoilt for choices this year when it comes to a new year’s outfit – we’re currently still living in temporary accommodation with family; the majority of my dresses and party wear is still in storage. This has meant recycling a lot of clothing and being creative (wearing a lot more skirts, than dresses). I am tempted to buy either of these two dresses from Topshop (on sale now) and adding glam with more luxurious accessories. Either going all out with a gold ‘disco’ dress – or classy with a more demure ‘flapper’ style.

Sequin dress by Topshop Unique, croc embossed gold clutch from Kotur, knitted bead flapper dress from Topshop, black onyx and gold sun earrings from Max & Chloe, powder studded sling back’s from Valentino and pale pink pailettes bow bag from RED Valentino.
