Zara Wish List

My Zara Wish List has never been this long. Their new collection is just to die for. From shoes to clothes to bags. You name it. I want it. I especially want these...

Mint + Metallic + Crossed Around Ankle Strap.

Maxi + Peachy + Slit. 

Two-Tone Shoes + Chunky Heel.

Metallic + Stiletto. 

Bodycon + Crazy Florals.

Pleats + Asymmetrical Hem.

Tie-Dye + White Jeans.

Sheer Shirt + Bat Wings. 

Lace + Mini Shorts.

Basically explained under each item what I love about it. There's just too much things to love at Zara at the moment I can't walk in their store or I swear I will empty my bank account. And I'm trying to save up. So, if any of you want to be nice... Need I say more ? ;)

Outfit Of The Day 26/03/2012

I actually forgot to share these pictures with you. or was it because there were too much posts last week ? not too sure. but this outfit just doesn't match the weather we're having in london right now! after a week of summer we are back to cloudy skies and the feeling it's going to rain at any minute (even if it isn't going to!). basically, just keep in mind this was worn during a normal spring weather. 

after all the awkward faces and different camera positioning i officially need to learn how to take some good outfit of the day pictures! 

T-Shirt - Zara

Skirt - Zara 

Leather Jacket - Zara 

Flats - San Marina 

pretty much obsessed with this leather jacket which i have been wearing pretty much non-stop ever since i bought it. hi-low skirts have also been something i've been loving. initially, i thought this skirt would only make it on night-outs with a pair of heels and a nice lil top. but i decided it had to be worn more than just at night! love it because of the longer part at the back which basically flies when you walk. oh em gee so cool. 

Outfit On A Sunny Sunday

I decided to be a little more active on the blog after being almost-not-there for too long. On Sunday I participated in a really fun photo shoot for Havaianas with Rachel and Laura ! It basically consisted in jumping in the middle of a circle of people which was, I have to admit , a teeny weeny scary but we ended up going together :) I'll obviously link the video on here when it's out. 

I quickly snapped these before leaving with my MacBook's webcam so excuse the bad quality but you get the gist. The pants come just above the angle so it's not super long but it's not a 3/4 pant either. Picked it up in the Zara sales this winter knowing I would love them during the sunnier days. 

Top - Emoi (vintage french brand that doesn't exist anymore!) 

Pants - Zara 

As you can see I still have a lot of toning up to do................ ! I paired this outfit with my high-top white Converse I can't let go. I've used them to death. 

Hope you liked this post :) 

Alexander Wang Inspired Bag On The High-Street

The second (and I really mean the second) I laid my eyes on this bag it was love at first sight. I knew that I wouldn't be able to leave Zara without it. I took it looked at it, stared at it and drooled. I had been looking for the perfect black simple bag with a little something something and finally just when I had lost hope I found it. I don't know if this ever happens to you like you're looking for something you really really want and you don't find it? It's the most frustrating thing in the world. But when you finally find it unexpectedly it makes everything better..... :)

Look at the studs ! Goodness gracious this bag is freaking amazing. I'm like addicted to it. The best part of this bag is it's price tag. IT IS FRIGGIN 40 POUNDS. I know right!? Ridiculously cheap for a big leather bag from Zara (which are usually around the 100 pound mark!). My computer is acting weird and only importing half of the pictures I took so if you were wondering why there aren't full pictures of this bag it's because they just won't upload. 

So what do you think about this bag ? Doesn't it so look like a Wang bag!? Ah! I'm in love. 

The Bug

I have been down with a stomach bug for the last 6 days ! Yes. 6 DAYS. This thing is just killing me. It is starting to get better now though which is such a relief ( you have no idea how much it hurt!). What really pisses me off about this stomach bug is that it just had to land during my school break. During the break I was suppose to work! Ugh. Anyway! Enough complaining and before I actually got really sick I did pop by London Fashion Week which is finishing today (Women's Fashion Week finished yesterday but Men's today!) to take a few street style pictures and uhm I don't know i'm not in love with the pictures I managed to take but i'll share a few ! :)

{Glossy Metallic Brogues ? Yes please!}

{Really like the knit and pant combo}

{Flood of people pouring out after Aquascutum show}

{Kind of really in love with the colour of her hair}

{Love this printed sweater}

{Blondie with crazy pink-tinted heart-shaped sun glasses!}

{Sandra from 5inchandup with her paper Birkin!}

{Love this girl's coat}

{The bag and the print on the skirt? OMG no words.}

{Dude taking pictures next to me had these uber-cool studded shoes!}

{Love these plaid pants}

And then we went in The Savoy to look around and check out their high tea menu and left because my tummy was killing me ! Ha.

Hope you guys enjoyed this rather useless post with a lot of complaints from me (very french of me to do that) and a few random snaps!

Mock exams are coming up next week so i'm going to dive into the papers!

Outfit Of The Night

This is the outfit I wore on Friday night to celebrate my eighteenth ! Featured in this outfit are my Carvela Babies ! Sian commented on the post saying she was looking forward to seeing how I was going to style them so here it is ! :)

I'm the one in the middle. DUH 

Top : Urban Outfitters 

Skirt : Zara 

Heels : Carvela 

I know I could have done a better quality picture and maybe a picture on which you could see a little more of the outfit but I have an upcoming post with all of the pictures taken on that night so you will see more of the top. A quick description of it thought is that they have holes on the shoulders and the they are long-sleeved and I am in love with it ! 

Carvela Babies

In case you weren't aware I am a shoe-a-holic. Shoes + Sale = Laura goes Gaga. I got these babies at the Harrods Sale for £45 (they were £120 initially) BARGAIN. 

How gorgeous are they !? They're not so hard to walk in which is good news. They are great for summer and winter as well... I have only good things to say about these so yeah.

What do you think about these ? 

Last few hours of being a kid ! WOOP WOOP 

It's Friday Night...

And it's the sort of night you just want to hang out with your computer and chill. Well that's what I love to do ! I usually watch the latest episodes of the TV Shows i'm watching ( click here to see the ones I watch I'm a TV show obsessed.) while doing my nails. But tonight I'm on the lookout for a dress ! 

{ Simple and sparkly. £55 from TFNC find it here! }

{ I like the hole in the back. Super sexy but not sure I have a pretty back. £30 from ASOS find it here}

{ Probably my favorite one of them all right now but still not sure! Boy I'm difficult. £40 from ASOS find it here !

{This is at the top of my list for sure. But I need to get fit in order to look good in that dress. It's time to hit the gym.... £45 from ASOS find it here! }

This is pretty much a random post. But I thought I would share with y'all. What do you guys think? I'm looking for a dress for my 18th birthday. Which one is the best out of all of these ? 

Plaid Overload

At the beginning of this week my mom and I decided to hit Zara to look at their sale items. To be perfectly honest with you guys I have not really gone proper sale shopping! The crazy crowds of people have sort of disgusted my mom and she refuses to step into Topshop (boo!). As I went into Zara I saw this rack of clothing with a few plaid shirts on it and I jumped on it. 

I love that they both have their own cute detailing. The red plaid shirt has cute structured pockets with interesting buttons. Whereas the blue plaid shirt is more elegant with the ruffles at the front. I actually want to find a nice leather skirt to go with this ruffle shirt. I think I may hit Selfridge's to take a look at Monki. 

What are tour fashion obsessions for this month ?

Cheap Frills Jewelry

Hello lovelies, 

Today I have a fun post for you all featuring this amazing new brand I have just discovered through Twitter. Cheap Frills is a Brighton-based company which launched,in September this year, an online boutique. They sell affordable vintage inspired pieces and some exclusive hand-made pieces. They specialize in cameo jewelry and they do their very own portrait dome rings.

  

Your goodies arrive in a really cute pouch. 

Left : Gold Ribbon Bow Necklace and on the right : Cat Ears Ring 

These two pieces look amazing on. The bow necklace looks great with a simple with shirt. It really just changes the whole look you are going for effortlessly. My favorite one has to be the ring though ! The little cat ears are the cutest thing you have ever seen. I swear.

What I Wore Saturday

Hi there !

So I just got back from the London Christmas Blogger Meet-Up! I had such a blast meeting some new bloggers but also discovering some new brands. After a lot of thinking and looking at other people's blogs I am finally doing a series on this blog. It's going to be called "What I Wore Saturday". From now on whatever I will be wearing on Saturday will be posted ! You might be thinking but why Saturday ? Why not Monday or Wednesday ? The explanation is pretty simple. The sun sets really early and I get back from school super late and there is no way in the mornings I have time to take pictures. So Saturday is a good day. Alright, enough talking let's check the pictures !

Top - Zara 

Vest - River Island 

Jeans - Bershka 

Booties - Zara 

Bracelet - in Frankfurt ( can't find the name of the shop! ) 

Nails - Topshop's Utilitarian 

Finally. I have achieved an Outfit Of The Day sort of post ! How do you guys like my outfit ? 

Watch this space for a little recap on the event and I will be showing you the amazing goodies we got. Also, make sure to come back next Saturday for my "What I Wore Saturday" series. 

Have a good day everyone !
