New Bag Please.

Now, I'm not being unreasonable. I don't expect the bag this week or anything, I am aware it is out of stock.

Victoria Beckham Leather and Nubuck Shoulder Bag, £1,700

Paris Haute Couture SS11.

Here are some of my favourites from the Paris Haute Couture SS11 shows in ascending order, all the way to my favourite-est. Whilst the likes of Armani had a consistently bold collection, Christian Dior had a combination of the more dramatic pieces as well as the softer, more feminine pieces. But my haute heart was stolen by Elie Saab and Valentino (in that order). See for yourself.

Satchelly High Street.

Ok, so they aren't identical but for a saving of £712, I would. And if I am honest, I have seen even more similar ones grace the high street. Not that I wouldn't go for Chloe if I could afford to. I totes would.

Nail It.

Nail varnish is one of the first, and easiest, things you can do to embrace Spring. I think I will be doing it with the O.P.I Trend Collection, available from ASOS. Embracing the pastels once again shall be my pleasure. Where better to start than with the following in Rumples Wiggin, Fiercely Fiona, Funky Donkey and What's With The Cat?

What Bookshelf.

Love my new 'invisible' bookshelves.

Spring Palette.

Two things I love about Spring's impending wardrobe; the following colour palette and the fact that leather isn't going anywhere.

Roll Sleeve Flecked Tee, £15, Topshop.

I love my leather and these chiffon combinations are perfect for a bit of dressing up in Spring.

Chiffon Leather Front Tee, £45, Topshop.

A Wardrobe Brightner.

Aztec Print Stripe Vest, £18, Topshop

My admittedly Winter wardrobe got a wake up call from Summer with this new vest. I think I'll stick with the big hoops for summer, only swap the cardigan and black for ripped denim shorts and chunky tan sandals. 

Lollipop.

So, went to an 80's party this weekend. In a Lol-esque This is England '86 attire. I think I loved the masculine outfit a little too much.

Ivory Pearl.

These quaint furnishings are from Ivory Pearl Interiors. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to buy anything else until I own my own home because my room has all sorts in it, from endless candle and bedding supplies to potato ricers and tea cups and saucers. Not to mention the bottomless trunk in the garage of mixing bowls and the like.
