Isn't this a nice little mini? I popped into four Zara stores in the last three days hoping to find this leather mini in my size but unfortunately it's no where to be found. This makes me wish I was back in London so I can shop Zara online!

I would love to get my hands on that lovely blue clutch by CÉLINE.  The strong colour really makes the simple clutch stand out.  If you are thinking of adding something blue to your outfit, it looks like pairing this colour with black is the right trick.  But don't let that be your only option.  I can imagine this colour also looking great with a dark redish brown like the colour of brandy.

Three super chic leather jackets from Burberry Prorsum.

Which one would you go for?

Some of my favourite looks from MM6 Maison Martin Margiela's collaborative collection with Open Ceremony for fall 2011. Really liked how these pieces can be mixed and matched to create several different looks.  

vintage finds

White see through blouse found in my mom's closet (the number one place to rummage for "vintage" things).  Leather metal belt found some years ago at Value Village for 5 dollars!

leather pants

Got these leather pants by VEDA on sale at TNT Blu over the weekend.  I really like the simple and subtle details.  VEDA is a relatively new brand based out of New York that focuses on leather clothing and accessories.

I've been on a hunt for a specific red - a bright red with an orangy tinge - in anything, a blouse, a belt, pants, anything! But no success so far. So when I saw Jill Stuart's Fall 2011 collection with all the orangy reds, I wanted them all. My original thought was to wear this colour with light neutral colours like camel but the mix with cognac and mustard seen here also works perfectly well.

The metallic dresses were another one of my favourites. A nice twist to the continuing colour block trend.

i just want to wear my rock and roll shoes

The cold weather and endless snow really makes dressing up become a challenge. I was left starring at my closet for a long while trying to figure out what to wear today, then I spotted these Burberrys hidden in the corner. It was asking me to be worn. Not very practical, I know. It didn't make it out but the thought was there.

Freja Beha Erichsen
Vogue Paris February 2011

Thought I spotted something familiar when I saw the editorial of Arizona Muse for the Feb issue of US Vogue. And that would be this Calvin Klein wrap dress that is also seen on Freja, featured in the Paris issue.

At the moment these are what I would love, stress love, to have in my closet.  I've been in the bad habit of wearing variant outfits of black, grey and white and I'm tired of it!  I think I will consider investing in some colourful pieces for spring and summer.
