Snap happy!

Well what a lovely bank holiday weekend i've had; cocktails in the evening & shopping during the day - perfection some might say!

On top of that I upped the ante with my little blog, I had my first blogger meet up in Manchester with the lovely Clare from I like Tweet & a trusty supply of fashionable girlies; Fashion Dotty, isayimposterista, Intrinsically Florrie, Science Geek Chic! Although it was a damp and miserable day it got a whole lot brighter. Starting the way I like with a cupcake sugar rush at the quirky Northern Quarter based tea room 'Sugar Junction'.

Clare brought along a box full of handbags and sunglasses from the new arrivals at www.mybag.com and we got to play dress up with the goodies and the document the experience too in a fun camera workshop at Lomography. I came away wanting to keep my mitts on the fold down leopard clutch & a with new found love for 35mm cameras!



Say "cheese"

Now this is the moment I admit to dropping out of a photography Duke of Edinburgh course some years back! The cute & very easy to use Lomo cameras might mean I try again; the 'point', 'press' and 'wind on' sounds are growing on me!
That's me below, in my new Zara neon colour pop shirt!

My bag? I wish!

Thanks to Clare for the photos

Think Pink!

I indulged in a little retail therapy this weekend and came away with a couple of pink purchases. I wouldn’t consider myself to be a girly girl but I couldn’t resist the fluro pink Zara shirt and cute diamante trimmed necklace from Miss Selfridge. Do I dare to wear them both at the same time – too right I do!

Just discovered

Adding further to my street style website stalking, I have just discovered the Coggles street style pages - hours of obsessing over a hound of stylish folk! Here are a couple of my favourite photos so far...

Constant Craving - street style snaps!

After consuming yet more of the glorious images posted on the WGSN Tumblr page, this street style shot stood out. I love the masculine shirt/ pretty lace skirt contrast and is that a pair of Manolo's (a la Carrie Bradshaw/SATC) & a Charlotte Olympia clutch I spy? Oh my... green with a little smidge of fashion envy!

New shoes - new loves

So I got the Preen/Aldo pair (below) as a birthday treat... they are still to have an outing, just waiting for it to stop raining!

 This pair are on the wish list (together with the rest of the Acne collection)

So many shoes, so little shopping funds!

You had me at hello!

Oh my! I have had a bit of a break from my little blog but I come back strong with snaps of the new fabulous items!

They say be careful what you wish for, well I was very careful and my wishes came true! I celebrated a milestone birthday recently and received many gorgeous gifts, two of which can be seen below…

Hermès bracelet

Bold punchy colour (in Hermès signature orange) featuring metal hardware – a true classic that I am going to treasure and wear for always!

Marc Jacobs handbag

A lovely shade of red, perfect for day time wear (if I reduce the contents of my current handbag!) and one one nifty move I can remove the strap to make into a clutch bag for the evening – et voila!

2012 is going to be a good wardrobe year!

A cat that copies!

Look what our friends at Topshop have done, only gone & created a new shoe (style name Lillie just incase you are interested) that echoes the Tom Ford for YSL sandals! Oh my...
