Beautiful living spaces are all I've been thinking about lately.

a blue gem I found hidden in my mother's closet

How retro-ly beautiful is this knitted sweater? Not only is the colour a stunning shock blue but the left shoulder is covered in fur. I love! I'd wear this with black skinnies and plain black pumps.

My new shoes by LAUREN Ralph Lauren. When I tried them on in the store, I was surprised at how comfy they were. Comfort + height; that's a double rainbow right there!

This is the perfect summer look. An all white ensemble with silver heels. Fresh and simple but not boring.

And the hair, doesn't it remind you of Alexander Wang's SS11 runway look?

a moveable feast

I didn't get the Jeffrey Campbell shoes but what I did get was this leather jacket by A Moveable Feast at Aritzia. It's a very simple jacket with beautiful tailoring that flatters the body. Can't wait to wear it out. It just needs to get a smidge warmer here.

shoes to dance in while listening to billy jean

Oy, what a busy week! Ok. For a while now, I've been on a look out for a comfortable pair of loafers that I could wear every day. In particular, I wanted a flat with a bedroom slipper shape - think of Michael Jackson's Billy Jean look.  I tried on these flats by Jeffrey Campbell yesterday and thought they were quite nice.  A simple patent flat that felt comfortable however I wasn't sure how I felt about them and left them behind.  For now at least.

Friendship bracelets, yes! That's the way to make fun diy accessories look chic.  You can also read my past post about friendship bracelets here.

green and blue

The perfect colours to be wearing this spring.  I got these headbands from Holt Renfrew in Vancouver four years ago during the same time when the Prada turban from the S/S 2007 collection was the hot item.

Jimmy Choo for H&M heels, OPI Dating a Royal and bracelet from Links

Wearing my new blue nail polish today! It's from the Cool Britannia, Royal Collection by OPI.  How appropriate for right now!  If only Will and Kate could invite me to their royal wedding.

to keep or not to keep?

I got this blazer that I've been eyeing for a while at Zara over the weekend. I like the the slight padding on the shoulder which gives the jacket some structure and how it can be worn as a blazer or as outerwear but after trying it on at home I'm not sure if I'll keep it.

What do you think?

OPI Dating a Royal, OPI Dim Sum Plum, Color Club Age of Aquarius, Color Club Almost Perfect and MAC Fuchsia Fix

Picked these up while shopping yesterday! The nail polishes are from Trade Secrets which was having a buy one get one half off sale on selected OPI colours. I'm excited to use all these bright colours! I think it'll add some POP to my outfit.

I long for the long summer days, warm sand on the beach and an ice cold lemonade.

My laptop crashed a month ago and luckily I got it restored (thank goodness!) but ever since I've been scared to use it. I have this huge fear that I'll get another blue screen of death and I'll lose everything. Now I'm using my PC which I haven't used in three years and was organizing some old pictures and came across some pictures of Kate Moss. Can't recall where they came from but my guess is TFS.

Love this 'Silvana' bag by Fendi. It's part of the SS11 collection but I think this bag would work perfectly in the fall and winter seasons as well. I'm quite obsessed with this rich whiskey brown colour. Oh how much I want it. Only €1100.
