My home away from home

Paris, the charming, beautiful, historical city is my home away from home. I lived there for over a year and a half studying and on Thursday I am heading over for a long weekend. J'ai tellement  hate! I am so looking forward to catching up with my friends and host family I used to live with. Strolling through the city, whether raining, snowing or just plain freezing never fails to put a smile on my face. Here are a few pictures taken during my time there . Paris je bloomin' t'aime.

Trainers Galore

Well let’s face it. Trainers are the only pair of shoes that you need in your life right now.  They are in fact the coolest accompaniment to a beautiful couture dress. Thanks Karl. Now, let me go rummage in the attic to see if I can find my yr8 PE trainers….

Floral, fleur, fiore...

I bought this dress a couple of years back but still love it as much as when I first laid eyes on it. I have to admit I am a hoarder when it comes to clothes and find it hard to de-clutter my wardrobe. This dress has a timeless feeling about it and I don't think I will ever get bored of wearing it.

Zara love...

Zara has to be one of my favourite stores: chic, sophisticated and extremely fashion forward. Their designs never fail to amaze me. My mum, who is as just interested in fashion as I am, pleasantly surprised me with a couple of dresses which were bought online in the sale.

 

Both dresses arrived beautifully wrapped in this lovely box.

I really like the different styles. One leather, straight, shift dress, the other one long, floaty, vintage looking. Couldn't be more different but both stunning. Merci Maman, cannot wait to wear them!

 

 

Tartan, tartan everywhere....

So last year’s catwalk crush was tartan; it was everywhere. It stole the show at an array of fashion designers A/W 13 collection catwalks including Saint Laurent, McQueen and Chanel. As this was such a huge trend, I had to invest. Ultimately, I wanted a tartan scarf; a long, thick, chunky tartan scarf. I searched high and low (the two sided Zara scarf, monochrome one sided and tartan on the other was extremely popular with the Londoners, but not for me). Topshop had some lovely ones but they were too thin for my liking. Then, after some hours spent online browsing, I found the perfect one…from ASOS and when it arrived it was 100% perfection. Thick, soft and goes around the neck twice…J’adore. I wear it every day.

A trip to Portobello Market



A couple of weeks back, my friend and I took a trip to Portobello market. Well known for its antiques stores and vintage stalls its one of the most well known markets in London. Currently living and studying in the capital, I have actually never visited Notting Hill, but boy was it beautiful. Colourful houses all lined up looking incredibly picturesque looking down on make shift stalls and road side eateries, this place is easily one of my new fav spots. Go and check it out!
