Isabel Marant in the garden

As the day now is extremely short and lack of sun I do not have many occasion to take good quality photos in my carefully selected outfits. As I really love art and interior design I am trying to make nice composition of clothes together with fruits,vegetables,flowers,artistic objects  or different things to make unique and spectacular photographies.

I have found finally my delighted Orson jeans from Isabel Marant mainline range. I was looking for ages to get a good deal on them but they usually cost around £ 100-150. I bought mine for only £ 28 pounds and the seller was so kind and offered me really an expensive delivery and she was informing me about the progress step by step.

For the photo session above I have used fresh fruits persimmon which having a lot of nutritions and have helped me to create nice an artwork and perfect fashion photography effect.
Persimmon fruit is a golden yellow, round or oval, flavourful, smooth textured delicacy from the East Asia. Its sweet, delicious flesh holds several health promoting nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants that are vital for optimum health.
Botanically, persimmons belongs to the family of Ebenaceae, in the genus: Diospyros. This delicate oriental fruit is native to China. It spread to Korean peninsula and Japan very long ago, and later was introduced to California during the middle of the 19th century.
Here with Isabel Marant red suede iconic sneakers and mustard peter pan collar top from Ted Baker range and coral bow small tote from Ted as well.
To covered myself from the cold I have worn boxy black coat from Isabel Marant collaboration with H&M. I have invested in a classic coat with a twist. Marant has designed these pieces with a boxy shape, giving them an edge despite their simple shades.
This double-breasted black coat (above left) has an oversized collar and angled pocket detailing to keep you warm and stylish and give you unique and spectacular effect.
It is bit heavy as made from the thick type of wool but very posh and elegant. Perfect for any occasion, very roomy and versatile. Could be worn with jeans,skirts or dress. Long length will match riding boots too.
Oversized type and perfect for really cold days during the winter ahead.
Taking its inspiration from men’s style, this grey coat (above right) has a breast pocket and small black buttons to showcase its masculine feel.

I would like to share as well another fashion and stylish combination in shades of purple and maroon colour. I love to prepare and set some unique fashion proposition for more causal occasion and formal and elegant too. When I have an inspiration and creative vein i combine clothes with shoes,bags and another accessories like jewellery or art objects.
Is a very therapeutic,relaxing and creative way to fight with stress or sad mood and the final photo of result is a good achievement and accomplishment.

Sparkly moments in magical forest

As I really love halloumi cheese I have decided to go to Reading to the Hilton hotel as they are serving there lovely sandwiches with this cheese, olives and mediterranean vegetables.

It was a vegetarian lunch but delicious.

The cheese is white, with a distinctive layered texture, similar to mozzarella and has a salty flavour. It is stored in its natural juices with salt-water and can keep for up to a year if frozen below −18 °C (0 °F) and defrosted to +4 °C (39 °F) before sale. It is often garnished with mint, a practice based in the belief that halloumi keeps better and stays fresher and more flavoursome when wrapped with mint leaves.[citation needed] In accordance with this tradition, many packages of halloumi contain fragments of mint leaves on the surface of the cheese.

Traditional halloumi is made from unpasteurised sheep and goat milk. Many people also like halloumi that has been aged; kept in its brine, it is much drier, much stronger and much saltier, making it very different from the milder halloumi generally used in the West.

The name "halloumi" is derived from the Egyptian Arabic, itself a loanword from Coptic halum 'cheese', referring to a cheese that was eaten in medieval Egypt

The cheese is often used in cooking and can be fried until brown without melting, owing to its higher-than-normal melting point. This makes it an excellent cheese for frying or grilling (e.g., for saganaki) or fried and served with vegetables, or as an ingredient in salads

Halloumi is also popular in many parts of the Middle East such as Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Palestine. In most of the Arab states, the cheese is called halloum and it is served with meze. In Israel, it is called by its Greek name. Halloumi in Israel is sometimes fried in olive oil and served for breakfast and served with meze. It is also eaten with fish.

On the way back we have passed by Brucknell Forest and I had regrets as I was wearing my new Miu Miu pewter ankle silver boots and the surface in the forest was really muddy and sharp and I managed to damage bit the soles of my shoes. I really do not understand why expensive high fashion brands making the shoes all from leather included with soles. Underneath should be rubber or something more stronger as leather is extremely easy to scratch and damage. It is a shame as usually the top of the shoes is in very good condition only the soles are worn. I was even thinking to visit a shoe repair specialist to check how much they will charge for putting some extra protection underneath.
Shoes  made in Italy or France they are design to be worn majority in warm climate countries as the sole is very light, thin and they are suitable for delicate using not for english farms or countrysides. This is a typical city shoes or for using only occasionally or even once like the celebrities do.

This time I was wearing my Marni feather spectacular leather bag with raspberry turtleneck angora Mark spencer jumper and black Guess skinny jeans with sequins on calf part. Accompaniment by Miu Miu Grey Pewter Glitter Leather and Crystal Detail Flat Ankle Boots.

• Color: Pewter
•  Glitter covered leather upper

•  Gusset sides
•  Zip back
•  ¼'' crystal covered heel
•  Leather sole
•  Shaft measures 6'' tall

Sparkly shoes if you want to stand out of the crowd and perfect in coordination with black, turquoise, grey or burgundy outfit.

My winter collection of angora jumpers in different colours from Mark&Spencer.

Now I will spend a little time to show my latest two cosmetics purchases which worth attention. First will be Clarins Relaxing Body Polisher with Essential Oils 250g. I do not think they are still manufacturing this product but I managed to get from old stock and just love it . I have as well different exfoliating Clarins body cream with bamboo but is not so impressive like this one. 

Slough and buff your body with this buttery blend of salt and sugar crystals and natural oils for skin that looks and feels silky-soft. This aromatic, gentle body polisher will leave you feeling calm and de-stressed!! Pure pleasure for the body, pure pleasure for the spirit.
This product is very economical and only small amount is necessary. If using on wet skin is bit too gently in my opinion as I think scrub should be more rough. The best is to use on quiet dry skin. Herbal smell is very strong but I like it and the most important part is that perfectly hydrate the skin due to the herbal oils included. Skin after bath is soft and not dry at all .

Second product is something from make up range.

Absolu Voyage Blossom Edition Make-up Palette.

Lancôme Absolu Voyage blooms into a new limited edition inspired

by the radiance of roses. A compact and beautifully decorated palette.

Lancôme has updated its Absolu Voyage travel retail exclusive make-up palette with a new version, called Absolu Voyage Rose. A limited edition, it is said to contain all the essential make-up items, presented in a sleek, black lacquered compact, decorated with the brand’s rose emblem. 

The new palette includes an extra-wide mirror and space-saving sliding drawer. The contents include a concealer, powder, blusher, six eye shadows, a black kohl eyeliner, Virtuôse mascara, three shades of lipstick and a mini lip pencil. 

These are complemented by four professional-sized accessories (a lip brush, an eye shadow brush, a powder brush and a powder puff). 

I had before the Lancome 24H A Paris Day-To-Night Make-Up Palette but is used now and this one was a good replacement as the eyeshadows are suiting my taste one is in grey for evening look and one pastel subtle rose dust for the day look . The powder is too light for my skin tone but the blush is good and concealer as well .

Very handy product when we do not have enough time or space too have more separate make up pieces with us.

I have used the same handbag with slightly different outfit, another good combination is with  raspberry turtleneck jumper and maroon Ted baker skinny jeans and with long riding black leather boots from Russell and Bromley. As the jacket I have worn Guess purchase from last year. Aztec style denim mixed with colourful wool part and faux leather collar jacket. Perfect for quiet warm days and to finished the look I picked one of my hats .This time was a stylish dark blue hat with stones and veil decorated from Zara.
