Shades of summer

What could be better than lazy sun filled days? Summer is just the best!!
From simple minimal makeup to your outfit, neutrals and pastels are the perfect compliment..

Lazy summer days

Loving these nude Armani pointy pumps for sophisticated summer casual.

Looking after suede, hmmm…

Minimal makeup. Les Beiges for cheeks and a nude palette for eyes (with just one quick application of mascara)!

Highlighting your summer glow with just a dash of makeup!

Love a light (but slightly pink) nail.[/caption]

Beautiful detail on this sleeveless blouse makes it less casual, while still keeping you cool on hot summer days.

Wanted Wednesday

May7

This week I am dreaming, drooling and obsessing over these epic CHANEL shoes.
They have taken the classic black pump — to the next level!

Pumps that I simply must own.
May sell non-vital organs to fund…. Hmmmm…

Just a splash of pink!

May4

Just a tiny bit of pink, goes a long way!

This outfit all started with the shoes. All pink base, then dipped almost entirely in black leaving just a peep of pink at the front — so fun!
Loved this concept of just having only a tiny dash of the feature colour, so applied it to the remainder of the outfit.

Pants – Peter Pillotto for Target

Shoes – Christian Dior Sublime Pump (Rose Et Noir)

Sunday Blues

Apr28

Yes, yesterday I did have the Sunday blues.
Referring to the outfit colour choice only – there was nothing to be emotionally blue about during this sensational sunday in the city that I love.

Sunday brunch with friends is always a treat.

This was no exception. From great decor and food, to some live music.
I was certainly not blue about the bottomless Mimosa on offer either 🙂

Tribeca Grand Hotel really has a great Sunday brunch offering!

Just kickin’ back…

So pretty!!

Some Sunday tunes

Obsessed with the stunning detail on this chair – the decor was a great mix at Tribeca Grand.

Loving this belt I found – giving it a bit of rock!

Top – Phillip Lim for Target
Pants – Karl Lagerfeld
Belt – old
Shoes – Peep Toe
Jacket – Zara

To fun and friends,

Beige & Black

Apr22

As the promise of springtime hangs in the air, one can now be brave enough to leave the house without the huge winter coat.
However, later in the day as the sun prepares to set, the weather does still require that one additional layer of warmth. So, another furry vest it is 🙂

I stumbled upon this ombre vest (mixed up amongst skirts at a sale) just a week after my shoe purchase.
The two match perfectly, and I love this combo! The soft fur and ombre colouring contrast with all black really well.

It’s in the details – nothing is overlooked by CHANEL!

A plain black shirt dress can work with most anything #musthave

Ombre furry fun!

Loving my new shadows!!

Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow – #37 Variation

Nail – OPI Privacy Please

Dress – H&M
Shoes – CHANEL
Vest – Lindex

Enjoy being out and about!!

Finally – fun in the sun!

Mar23

After a long NY winter where the Polar Vortex introduced itself, it was a very welcome change to finally be enjoying a weekend outside on a deck with some sun. No puffer jackets required!!!!

This weekend look was built around my favourite pants at the moment, the AG Stilts.
I am obsessed with them. They are flattering, comfortable – and I want them in every colour.

The complete look – with open toe wedges Yay for warmer weather.

AG Jeans – in sateen finish. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Valentino bag with gold hardware

Over the shoulder

NY rooftop fun in the sun

Cross body works also – versatile Valentino 🙂

Love the pleats on this shirt

Furry vests are awesome, always.

Taking a bit of a walk on the dark side in all black leather and lace…

The past few VERY chilly days have put me in a fall frame of mind…hence this weeks Wanted Wednesday item.

Love this colour, love this cut, love the high gloss coating!
I can see them from day to night – complimented by either dark or light outfit finishes.

What’s your fall must have piece?

Now to find the perfect shade of lipstick to match…

The cut, colour, flowing fabric, the detail of the subtle pleating.
