Here are a few pics of what I wore on my latest holiday to Barcelona. I went primarily for a concert-but also went sight-seeing and a couple of salsa clubs including my favourite local salsa club Antilla (it is amazing!)
The weather was better than the UK (am I surprised??), and the higher temperature allowed me to wear lighter, brighter outfits (which I was craving for months!)

Hope you like them....let me know what you think!

BTW-I have since been to Santorini Greece also, so keep a look out for a post showing what I wore there too! OH....and a holiday haul too! xx

bright, casual....and socially anxious!

Okay, so this was my very first time with a photographer which was nerve wracking on its own....but doing the shoot outside Westfield in Shephard's Bush made it ten times more terrifying! lol. It's easy to see on my face that I was very nervous with everyone looking at me thinking "what is she doing?"  But I did it anyway....and I am kinda proud I had the confidence to try. I may not look like a model.....but I am not trying to be anyway!

It was a nice sunny day here in London, and I wanted to feel like I was wearing the sun on me....and this Zara blouse accomplishes just that! It's hard to feel down when you are wearing such a positive colour :-D

I am in love with the denim jacket as it is not your typical denim jacket. I bought it at least a year and a half ago, but never wore it until now. The embroidery gives it a more "romantic" feel I think. And I think the sunglasses complimented the jacket.

The primark shoes are sooo comfortable, and I am so glad I snapped them up when I saw them a few weeks ago because I haven't seem them in store since. There are many alternatives out there to purchase though, and I highly recommend them-especially if you like wearing sandals but don't particularly want to expose your whole foot.

Anyway, let me know what you think :-)

The East London £1 Vintage Sale

For the first time, I decided to check out a £1 vintage sale in East London. it was a great experience, although it was quite overwhelming for me-travelling to an unknown area of London (lol) and rummaging piles of vintage bits with soooo many people!

There was so much to choose from, fur coats, jackets, jeans, dresses and handbags! And it was free entry, But you really had to take your time to sift through everything as there were also a lot of damaged pieces (rips etc.) I did manage to find a few great pieces, and to think I only paid £3 for the lot!? It's unreal, anyway here is what I chose......

All great quality in perfect condition! I have already worn the coat which is fab! and I can't wait to wear the rest :-)

I will definitely be going to the next one-and if you're in the area....go check it out!

I also met with a friend and ended up going to Nando's-which is always a bonus, anyone for some hot wings with chips?? :-p

 

Have you been to a vintage sale? what did you buy?

My birthday wish list!

As my birthday is in 2 days time (eek!) I thought it would be a great idea to do a wishlist post. I mentioned in an earlier post on Easter Monday (check it out Here), I was dead-set on purchasing the Valentino Rockstuds in black grain leather. I still really want them, but as I am trying to seriously save for my future-I might have to hold off getting them for now. I think I will purchase a few small bits (mostly beauty products) and save money for my upcoming holiday next week! :-D

Anyway here is a compilation of dreamy things I would love to receive for my birthday, but for now will have to keep on dreaming about. And when I do eventually buy the Rockstuds....you guys will be the first to know ;-)

The Hermes scarf is one of my favourite, so well made and the attention to detail is amazing. I like how they all have a different theme, and are truly a collectible item. I have 2 already and I use them not only around my neck-but also tied around my handbag handles. And in summer I also use them as colourful headscarfs!

 

Another piece from Hermes, I own a belk kit in the blue/black combo with gold hardware. I have use it soooo much-to the point I have managed to split the leather into 3 separate straps! So it is in very bad condition. I am not sure about paying full price for it though.....I paid around £295 in 2008/9....now its around the £580 mark! Hmmm maybe I'll just look for one in a consignment store lol

I love return to tiffany collection and I have two extra large bracelets, one small bracelet (both in silver) and a small pendant in yellow gold. However I do like the silver with the pink enamel heart combo on this piece...and I might just have to buy it as it's not that expensive ;-)








I am dying to get my hands on a Mon Monogram Speedy by Louis Vuitton-I absolutely love this colour combo! and I love the look of my initials on the bag, but the price is seriously putting me off. I have some concerns with the quality of the bags as all my bags have issues with cracking canvas (irrepairable!) over a long period of use.....I'm not sure I am willing to pay almost £800 on another LV. But it is tempting.....


And now for one last look at my ideal shoe.......

A girl can dream right??  ;-)    What are you dreaming of getting for your birthday? Comment below! XX
