Is not a Halloween time yet but  I have treated myself with trick or treat flats from Charlotte Olympia. They are amazing cute and sweet . Charlotte Olympia is well know for the zodiac flats loafers but I prefer my orange pumpkin embroidered suede slippers as they are more simply compared to zodiac collection with very sparkly ,rich and  decorated motif on the front .

Now I got two pairs of orange shoes by Charlotte, one is a satin sandals and my pumpkin flats. I took size 38.5 and perfectly fit me. On the beginning they were slightly tight but after few times they have expanded bit .The suede leather is not so soft as expected from such expensive Italy brand but the cutest look is taking over. The main negative is that the sole is made out of natural leather and I think easy to get worn as well. I worn only few times and is ready scratched a lot. I will give them bit of the time to see how the sole will stand. 






The orange slippers perfectly match with my orange handbag from Ted Baker range. The Warbler  leather tote handbag is a luxe mix of leathers and a subtle combination of chic colours. Boasting  orange textured leather, large side crocodile effect red pockets, a matching cream knotted belt with metal end, rivet and cream handles; this handbag is an original, sophisticated handbag. 


May is generally month of orange colour in my wardrobe. This is a colour of spring season for me. Almost all month I was wearing clothes with orange and peach accent . I have created different configurations and sets. 


Could be a beautiful set with Isabel Marant ivory sneakers and orange Ted Baker jumper. Ted Baker Arrela Mohair Scallop Hem Jumper. Keep your wardrobe alive with this beautiful bright burnt orange long sleeved round neck and semi fitted jumper with it’s scalloped hemline and open stitch knitted pattern. Bright and bold, this scallop-hem jumper will give every day an invigorated feel.

Spring shopping with orange accent

My passion and fascination for fashion began in my early childhood time when as a kid I was collecting and playing with Barbie dolls . I remember  that I had a big box of clothes,shoes and accessories for them. Not all girls are same as for example my daughter never used to play with dolls.
I was so patient and could easy spent hours on the floor to play and change outfits on them and also  easy imagine some stories . This hobby last till now 
At the moment I like to collect unique and pretty things as well  . From time to time I am visiting some car boot sales and last time I had a luck and I have found two pairs of nice Juicy Couture sandals one for my daughter and one for me.




Iconic Juicy Couture Ezra Hot Orange/Neon Patent and also Juicy Couture Amalie Tobacco Vintage Patent Wedges . The orange one are very eye catching and extravagant due to very bright colour but will be perfect match for my daughter Ted Baker dress for Ascot in the June . I will introduce the dress with shoes in the follow post regarding racing event .
The orange sandals are all in leather included the gold sole .Remind me well TB shoes which are made very similar with gold insole and sole . The heel is bit block type but should be comfortable . Mine patent wedges are really comfy as well but the only one negative issue is that they are not stable and in wearing them is easy possible to lost balance and twist ankle. That is the major problem and disadvantage .The sole is very narrow and tiny and that fact is making them so unstable. Let see maybe I will give them a chance if they not suit me I will resell them but the colour is perfect neutral and goes with basically everything . If we still around topic with the shoes I will show my lovely pair of another wedges which are unfortunately to small for me and I have to sell them . 





Australia Luxe brand is not only making shoes made from sheep skin .They are creating lovely spring-summery shoes as well . I love the design of military accent with some rose gold studs but they are more like a size 4 instead of 5.As I am in a mood for a beach caftans I bought lovely peach - orange one with hand made stones and jewels decoration around the neck . The very detailed work impressed me so much. 




The top basically is unbranded but made in India . The sunglasses is a element which deserves another attention as my daughter got them for free as a gift from the seller. I did not even look on them till at home I carefully checked and found out that it was a french piece made by Proenza Schouler.
These stunning sunglasses are a must have for all fashion conscious women and the one accessory you simply cannot do without.
PROENZA SCHOULER SUNGLASSES  SPELLS STYLE AND ELEGANCE .
They are very similar to my Miu Miu. Very well built with heavy plastic circle tortoise brown frames  and brown lenses and metal arms. The vision is very warm and sharp.
OLD DESIGNERS JACK Mccollough and Lazaro Hernandez met in 1998 while studying at New York's parson's school of design.
The pair co- designed a senior year show that was so highly acclaimed Barneys bought the entire collection,and so Proenza Schouler ( their mothers' respective maiden names) was born.
The 2007 winners of the CFDA award for womenswear designer of the year are known for their skilful tailoring.
Proenza Schouler sunglasses are worn over the world .
Proenza Schouler is defined by its fusion of craftsmanship and attention to detail with a sense of refined ease. Inspiration drawn from contemporary art and youth culture is combined with an emphasis on tailoring and the use of custom developed fabrics.

I am always very proud and happy after discovery of some new sophisticated brands and really like look in to that . Is all about knowledge,learning purpose and substantive approach which is very important in the fashion industry.

Fashion is a clever, deep, colourful and rich in experience journey around the world.
