Obsessed.

I am totally obsessed with this seasons Celine clutch bags. So simple and chic and add the perfect pop of colour to simple outfits. Must. Have.

Be Inspired.

I love nothing better than whiling away the hours scouring the web for inspiration. I'm having a bit of a leather biker/clutch bag moment, I think it's the mix of tough motorcycle attitude with the ultimate classic representation of femininity and elegance. Here are my favorites courtesy of Tommy Ton for Style.com and Jak & Jil Blog...

Anna Sui AW10...a collection for the urban luxe hippie in us all...

Anna Sui's AW10 collection couldn't be any richer in colour, print or texture... endless layers of draped bohemian gorgeousness, with some of the most delicious looking fur vests I have seen for...well...EVER! What's not to L-O-V-E about this collection?! I for one will now have something to look forward to wrapping up in as the nights grow longer and the temperature drops, I'll take one of everything please!

We live not according to reason, but according to fashion...

Ever since Ms Richie underwent her style overhaul all that time ago at the hands of the brilliant Rachel Zoe, I have followed her contemporary rich hippy style with keen interest and admiration. As such I fell instantaneously in lust with her House of Harlow 1960 jewellery range when it launched last year, so imagine my delight when I discovered she was expanding on her design prowess and creating her own clothes line, Winter Kate - which takes the middle names of Nicole’s daughter Harlow. Apparently the collection was inspired by peacocks and other birds. All pieces are vintage inspired and are true to her own bohemian style with flowing maxi dresses, tunics, vests, paisley print blouses and kimono jackets featuring rich prints in vintage silk crepes and vintage silk chiffons.

The designs are the perfect mix of old meets new; romantic and feminine vintage washed florals are easy and simple to wear and layer. Kimono jackets can be worn casually with jeans and give them a soft and bohemian edge whilst maxi dresses can be toughened up with cropped leather jackets and vests.

I snapped up a couple of my favourite pieces from the collection at Selfridges this afternoon, the kimono maxi dress and purple ‘Opy’ jacket (this fabulous jacket has been made from vintage silk, so each one is slightly individual), because let’s face it who doesn’t cherish the beauty and the pleasure of wearing rich bohemian styles with a touch of Nicole’s signature flair and magic.

Louis Vuitton...the SPICE of life!

After months of longing I am finally the proud owner of the Spicy Sandal in Burgundy Suede Baby Goat Leather... They arrived this morning and made an otherwise dull and rainy day, shiny and bright. The beading, colours and craftsmanship are even more breath taking than I imagined. The shoes are made from velvety suede baby goat leather which features geometric beads and gold-finish accessories, gold-finish Louis Vuitton lace tips, Monogram canvas insock that is padded for enhanced comfort a faceted multi-coloured platform and a sturdy leather sole.

LV's spicy additions with their exotic leathers, tribal-inspired fringes, beads, sequins, gold-finish rivets and other rich embellishments appealed to me immediately and ever since I saw them way back when I knew I had to have them. They just couldn't be anymore 'me' and despite being a few seasons old now they will fit in perfectly with this seasons 'African' inspired trends...bring on the sun!!
