Shopping: CLEOBELLA Mini Cantina Bag

This is a great little bag from Cleobella, it's their 'Mini Cantina Bag' and is available on SHOPBOP in three colours- Hot Pink, Neon Yellow, Painted Lime. I like each of the colours available, but would probably lean more towards the Neon Yellow one, because its vibrant and fresh and a nice shade of yellow not too blinding. It's the perfect little bag for summertime, has just enough space for essential belongings, and would add the right amount of character and colour to a simple, neutral or monochrome outfit. In my opinion, it's a nice little investment buy!

Feminine Summer Glamour - Streetstyle

I instantly fell in love with this entire look, from a very perfectly chic woman on the streets of Paris. That dress is just gorgeous, feminine and very Summery, but with the pairing of the flame print Prada clutch, and chunky strap Prada shoes they both ad an urban/modernness to the entire look which altogether becomes a simple but striking, very well put together outfit. Me loves it!

Shopping: New Arrivals at TOPSHOP

I went for a browse on TOPSHOP's website today and of course some items caught my eye! Some of these items seem to have strong influences from the top fashion houses. Like the dress I'm showing here is Jonathan Saunders-esque, the cream embroidered tunic is very Isabel Marant-esque, the 'vintage lace peplum' top has a Nina Ricci look to it and the black paisley tube skirt has an Emilio Pucci vibe to it. But the good thing about everything I've picked here is much more affordable than if they actually were designer pieces. "Hooray!", says your bank account, happy shopping!

Daphne Groeneveld - Dior Addict Fragrance Campaign SS2012

I absolutely adore this ad campaign, both the pictures and the video from Dior for their 'Addict' fragrance. Photographed by Tim Walker, video directed by Jonas Akerlund and modelled by the beautiful Daphne Groeneveld, it is fun, fresh, flirty and colourful. Even though it seems quite a bit girly and light and airy for their now very well known fragrance called 'Addict' I still can't help but fall in love with the visuals for this campaign. I have posted attached the director's cut (video) for the campaign below too, which is very old-school-hollywood-movie in the way it was filmed, love love love! I'd love to hear what you guys think of this campaign? Feel free to comment. 

Enjoy!

Marion Cotillard - Style Perfection

I absolutely adore this entire look worn by Marion Cotillard at the Premiere for The Dark Knight Rises in London a few days ago. She is wearing a Christian Dior Haute Couture dress, from the FW12 collection that was only shown just less than three weeks ago, Christian Dior shoes & bag and Chopard jewellery. The choice of using vibrant red as the lipstick colour on Marion (which was the colour used on the catwalk for this particular look) but also picking up the pop of red in the shoes and bag, really brought the look together and complimented the colours in the dress to perfection, finished then with gorgeous retro side-swept curls. She is Shutting.It.Down.

Joan Smalls - Fendi FW12 Campaign

Here's yet another ad campaign for the FW12 collections, this time I'm loving this beautifully shot campaign from Fendi. Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld and modelled by Joan Smalls, the campaign is full of beautiful autumnal jewel tones against a stunning backdrop of a vineyard in Chianti, Italy. Even though there's a little too much fur and exotic skins in these pictures for animal lover me, I still think each picture showcases the collection beautifully. Job very well done Mr. Lagerfeld.
