London Bloggers

There was a blogger meet-up in London over at the Hummingbird Bakery, so I thought I would briefly pop over just to say hi to everyone. Finally, one pair of new shoes later and a couple failed attempts at finding Jill we finally arrived. It was great meeting all the girls and I have to say Carrie did a lovely post describing the afternoon and all the bloggers present that day, I couldn't have said it better. I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon talking politics, holidays, and counterfeit shoes with fellow friend and blogger Jill who is the creator and author behind PolkaDot. Always with her camera at hand ready to immortalise what catches her eye, she snapped a few pictures of me and has actually made a lovely post here. I wanted to share with you her amazing work so I have added a few of my favourite shots.

P.S: Thank you Thank you for your hundreds of Birthday wishes! you have no idea how touched I am, since this morning I have been replying Thank You's but I am not complaining one bit, they are all worth the time. As this is my first birthday as a blogger I really didn't quite know what to expect (actually I wasn't expecting anything) but I sure didn't expect so many thoughtful wishes in so many different places. So Thank you to my Twitter followers, Facebook 'likers' and all the emails and comments; THANK YOU!!

P.P.S: Just a quick reminder, that Philippe Audibert's huge sale on their e-boutique is still in progress. You can have 40% off the entire boutique with the special code "PA0710PE", until June 20.

Fashion Fusion

So, saturday I took my tiered self to London's Fashion Fusion and was very glad I did. I was lucky enough to meet the gorgeous Reem, the face behind the amazing website '5'5 girl in a 5'10 world' and one of the speakers at the event. Definitely worth checking out her website, it has some really fun and interesting fashion segments. I have to confess I feel in love with the title of the blog/website, being short myself I completely relate to it It's one of those things you wish you had come up with and thought of.

Anyway, here is the outfit I wore to the event and I was very glad to discovered that the stilettos came in handy later during the day, when shopping for cheap finds at Primak. I literally walked m way through the crowds of hungry looking shoppers.

2010 is, for me, the start of a new love for accessories, I am giving earrings, and especially rings a run for their money. I never use to change my earrings but I have recently found myself 'cheering' up basic outfits with a great pair of statement earrings, and the same goes for rings. I am always wearing my cartier triple rings for very sentimental reasons and not taken them off is almost 6 years now. However, they are having quite a bit of company lately. Here, I am wearing a new pair of Jewels chunky emerald earrings. Jewels stuff is pretty bold, bright and very out there and let's be honest not very me. This being said I actually, like, no love her pieces.

So what do you think of my bold statement earrings? Would you wear them? I also just wanted to let you know I am currently looking for a new home for a gorgeous pair of wedges i sadly never wear, so if you are a size 5 (uk) or 38 (eu) and promise to take good care of them then just leave me a comment with all you details and I will pick a lucky winner on Wednesday.

Trench and jeans

Over the years the trench has become not only more feminine but also more youthful. A decade earlier, the same phenomena occurred with jeans, making them today the base of practically every outfit for any event. Today, these two items have become a match made in heaven, making outfit look effortless, youthful yet still looking well put together and elegant.

Love the idea of destroy and/or boyfriend jeans paired with a very feminin trench and heels or even ballerina pumps.

An outfit that will make any woman look kick ass and elegant at the same time.
