The Ultimate Closet : Carrie Bradshaw

If I had a spare room in my home I would turn it into a walk in closet. I am in love and totally obsessed with Carrie Bradshaw's closet from the Sex and the City movie. This is just every girls dream, the glass fronts and lighting in the shoe drawers allow you to sit and admire your fabulous collection and with so much space you can be guaranteed crease free clothing when you want to wear it.  I ❤ it.






Shourouk Jewelry

I first spotted Shourouk jewelry in Galeries Lafayette in Paris and fell in love with the vintage feel of her pieces. Tunisian origin French girl, Shourouk creates glamorously kitsch baroque jewelry. All over the world she is having great success: in Paris with Jean Paul Gaultier for his Haute-Couture shows and in New York with Sarah Jessica Parker for her new movie.









Must Have: YSL Cabas Chyc Tote

One of my favourite online boutiques Luisa Via Roma has the Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc tote available to pre-order in a great range of colours. They are due to arrive in stock on August 31st 2011 so you can be the proud owner of one of these stunning bags ready for Fall.

Oh My Miu Miu

Each season Miu Miu creates the ultimate 'must have' statement shoe and next season is no exception. Tell me, how cute are these booties and shoes from Miu Miu's Fall Winter 2011-12 collection.  I love them all, in fact if I had to choose just one pair I think I would be hard pushed to decide. I do love the way it looks like you are wearing a pair of glittery ankle socks, gorgeous.

Clutch Control

Celine bags make my  ❤ melt. If my budget permitted I would buy one in every colour and style. My favourite for Summer is the colour block clutch, if you can get your hands on one. I was in Florence, Italy recently and they had the full range waiting to be snapped up. For Fall/Winter however, I will be carrying the shopper tote which is another favourite of mine, this lends itself well to winter due to its heavy, over sized proportions.




Loving Camel and Brights

I am loving camels and brights combination at the moment. This is definitely a look I am going to be wearing this Fall/Winter to cheer up those dark and dismal days. The easiest way to adopt this look is with a camel coat and a gorgeous cashmere sweater or a fabulous colour block bag from Celine.

Chloe Sale Must Buys

I have just been taking a look through the Net-a-Porter sale and I have got as far as Chloe. I love these pieces and could see these being worn well into Fall. The black jacket is a forever piece which you would wear until it falls apart at the seams. Leather skirts are also going to be huge next season so this cognac coloured skirt will be perfect with a cerulean blouse.
