Fashionable shearling boots in daffodils

In this post I would like to share with you my artistic fashion gallery with greens and violet .
Also I would like to mention about unique hand made real stone jewellery and dior make up cosmetics.
My another pair of Australia Luxe leafs spring edition short shearling boots together with Felton favourite parka from Isabel Marant Etoile.
As I am a beauty and make up addict too I like to expand and test some new cosmetics. This time I have tried Dior 2015 spring edition eyeshadow palette in pink and greens .
I managed to get the refills which are fine for home use purpose.
DIOR HOUSE OF GREENS 466 -KINGDOM OF COLOURS EYESHADOW PALETTE SPRING 2015 and DIOR HOUSE OF PINKS.
Together with fuchsia Dior Rouge 766 rose harpers lipstick .
Dior Rouge Dior. Couture colour, voluptuous care. Every woman has her signature colour, her attitude... Rouge Dior is available in 24 timeless shades that are just right, perfectly balanced. Luminous shades that are the result of Tyen`s incomparable colour expertise.
For perfect colour, it first takes perfect lips. The Rouge Dior voluptuous care formula, enriched with marine crista, smoothes and reshapes the lips, maximizing the expression of each nuance.
The new Rouge Dior sets the tone as a beauty and style accessory.
The couture lip colour that is all it takes to change everything, to make you look stunning. Like a Dior bag, it leaves the mark of ultimate, timeless elegance and tops off the silhouette.
A good-luck charm, definitely Dior.

The Dior Kingdom of Colours Spring 2015 Collection brings refreshing shades of spring greens and petal pinks. The two 5 Colours Palettes  in the collection can bathe the lids in spring sweetness or can be intensified for wear in the winter months. As with most Dior eye palettes the desired result is softer and more refined. Lighter shades offer a sheerer effect for a gentle wash of colour while darker shades offer more dramatic pigment to offer control over the amount of contouring and sculpting you want to achieve with your look.

House of Greens includes a sheer petal pink with subtle sparkle, grey taupe shimmer with medium pigmentation, deep blackened green with a satin finish and great pigmentation, teal leaning green shimmer with medium pigmentation, and a richly pigmented spring green at the centre.

House of Pinks includes a sheer almost white sparkling pink, an almost matte pale dusty pink with subtle iridescence and nice pigmentation, deep purpled plum satin with great pigmentation, shimmering mauve with good pigmentation, and a bright pink at the centre with good pigmentation and slight shimmer.







Blonging Creations handcrafted necklace made from frosted glass with hematite in shades of greens and purples.
The second one is Unique Green Aventurine semi-precious necklace.
This semi-precious Green Aventurine pendant  necklace is a unique handmade jewellery design and has been crafted from Green Aventurine, Amethyst, Paua Shell, crystal beads and Sterling Silver.
At the base of this Green Aventurine sits a large oval Green Aventurine block and this has been set under a band of faceted Amethyst.
They have spaced these semi-precious stones with purple coloured crystal beads and these compliment the purple of the Amethyst and the green of the Aventurine perfectly.
This unique Green Aventurine necklace continues with round Green Aventurine beads and between these They have placed oval shaped Paua Shell beads, round deep purple coloured Amethyst beads and some more of the purple coloured crystals.
This handmade Green Aventurine necklace continues with sterling Silver beads set with deep purple Amethyst beads and then finishes with Sterling Silver tubes.
This Green Aventurine necklace then fastens with a Sterling Silver hook and eye clasp.
This unique semi-precious necklace is a unique jewellery design with only one being made so the necklace is like custom personally made piece of jewellery which I managed to add to my collection.







Could be also red version with gold studs 


Warming trends from Australia Luxe 
The vibe of sunrise to sunset coolness without compromising the fun and comfort that is quintessentially  Luxe . My COSY X SHORT HAWAIIAN BOOT
Once again we welcome you to discover Australia Luxe is truly a pioneer in sheepskin comfort and fashion. Our unique designs, 5 layer luxe component, bespoke materials, and finishes envelop you in an unsurpassed feeling of satisfaction. To hand at dawn, or as day turns to night, the first and always reliable choice to keep you cooler .. when it gets cooler!
Perfect coordination with khaki parka and green shopper from Ted Baker set around daffodils.
What could be more spring than that.
It is a time to share another fashionable pair of Australia Luxe boots.
So sexy Australia Luxe Collective slouch boots. Over the knee leather top combined with a sheepskin boot! The short slouch boot is a massive trend this season and has celebrities and stores are all clamouring to get their hands on them. Australia Luxe took a simple short boot and added a fabulous soft slouchy leather extension in matching colour with a soft and silky inside and the slouch part can be kept up or taken down. Such a clever design combing sheepskin & leather to create this Australia Luxe slouch boot. 

I blame this  product on Uggs, the super comfy boot that originated in Australia. Uggs were first worn by World War I pilots for warmth in unpressurised planes and have since become a cult favourite, with high-profile celebs like Megan Fox, Cameron Diaz and Paris Hilton first popularising them. The style of boot has spawned numerous replicas from brands like Bearpaws, Bare Traps and even Skechers, but one thing none of these companies ever did was reinvent the style.

Enter Australia Luxe Collective, who’ve taken it upon themselves to add a hideous leather upper panel, turning it into more of a thigh-high boot. Umm..? Not really feeling these, but what do you guys think of the thigh-high boot? Would you wear it?
What I love most about Australia Luxe boots is that you don’t have to sacrifice fashion for comfort. As a mom of two  I need my footwear to be practical, and these make the grade for sure. I can rock them with a skirt or pair of skinny jeans and still chase my kids with ease! (And look darn good while doing so, *ahem*)
Here below with burgundy wax jeans and burgundy matching angora jumper, Juicy Couture checkered scarf, glass necklace and Isabel Marant parka too . In addition to brighten up nude small bows shoulder bag too.





Mohair maroon v-neck soft jumper with Birger et Mikkelsen wax burgundy jeans and matching high boots from Australia Luxe with hand painted glass red mosaic necklace and italian leather shoulder red cherry handbag by Mandarina Duck. Nicely decorated with wood hand made roses.
 Mandarina Duck, the Italian fashion company specialised in leather goods and travel items, was set up in 1977. Ever since the beginning, the brand’s icon has been the Mandarin duck – the cute, colourful traveller and lifelong mate. This makes it the perfect representation of an unstoppable desire to explore the many dimensions of style, design and colour, without losing sight of its peculiarities.
Since its very first collection colour has been key for Mandarina Duck, with the boldly coloured UTILITY line launching in the brand’s first year on a leather goods market monopolised by conventional and almost exclusively monochrome products.
Season after season, the use of colour became increasingly important.
Mandarina Duck is an innovative brand offering creative and original solutions with a contemporary, informal style to a demanding, curious, positive and on-the-move consumer.  It is able to offer an extraordinary level of functionality thanks to an unmatched combination of solutions and smart design, unconventional materials, original use of colour and painstaking attention to detail. The emotions channelled by the product are not purely aesthetical, but express an interest in finding functional, smart and original solutions.







Another outfit solution in similar red shades is with Isabel Marant sneakers and Guess denim-wool jacket.















Another an concept and idea to use my over knee boots is with laser cut goat skin shorts with top in chocolate and elastic rendered in plush dyed fox multi colour headband.














Let's go back to the greens. For me compulsory and essential winter accessories are furs. I like shoes,hats,vest or bag made from fur which keep me warm and stylish 
I would not go through the winter without a colourful fur. Winter season is full of darkness and clouds on the sky. Green nature is sleeping too. Day is cold and short. We all dreaming about cosy fur slippers,duvet cover and hot chocolates. I have in my closest few fur waistcoats. Today I will show the green one made of Turkey Ostrich feather.
I felt bit like a green version of Big Bird from Sesame Street or furry too muppet character Oscar de Grouch.






Maybe even one of the real green birds








 I have decorated my green outfit with limes and slides of cucumber and I have added few pieces of my jewellery to accent more on the greens.
I love the sophisticated and vintage style hat. Is there also a Birger et Mikkelsen necklace with Murano Venice Italy glass hearts bracelet and Marni flower necklace too.
The weather waistcoat could be also worn with dress or different jumper for contracting . As I am an addict with matching colours I did all in green this time .










Beauty is in the eyes lol

Rainbow Valentino and lime and olive green Hunter wellies outfit

When I am visiting an expensive high fashion designer shops I like to get some inspiration and check what I really like there and what is on trend at the moment. I like to make in my mind a selection of clothes which I would buy if my financial allowance would much be higher. Of course not everything is in my style even if costs fortune but is nice to admire some good and high quality garments. Every clothes should suit your personal preferences and your sense of fashion.
Last time when I have been in Bicester as I did not have enough time I only visited one high fashion  italian  designer house Valentino. 

Established in 1960 by legendary fashion icon Valentino Garavani, the Maison has grown over the years and  now operates in more than 70 different countries counting over 1250 points of sale, 66 of which are directly managed.
One of the best known fashion brands worldwide, Valentino offers a wide range of luxury products from Haute Couture and Prêt-à-Porter to an extensive accessories collection that includes bags, shoes, small leather goods, belts, eyewear, watches and perfumes.
CREATIVE DIRECTION
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have been appointed Valentino Creative Directors since October 2008.
Maria Grazia and Pier Paolo previously worked in close contact with Valentino Garavani for a decade, contributing to the international success of the accessories project. Debuting with their first Haute Couture collection in Paris in January 2009, they demonstrated the ability to fully understand and interpret the world of Valentino.
Their creativity was well-received right from the start, obtaining unanimous approval in the world of fashion.
Hollywood stars, socialites and fashion leaders have worn and appreciated their creations. Jennifer Aniston choose a dress from their first Haute Couture collection for the 2009 Oscars. Rachel Weisz and Evangeline Lilly wore creations from their first Prêt-à-Porter collection at the 2009 Cannes Festival.
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli’s July 2009 Haute Couture collection expresses their new vision of the Valentino woman: an unusual version of femininity and a concept of extreme elegance that affects her
entire way of being. Fragile and dangerous nature interweaved with a cult of uniqueness and distinction, are
all elements captured for their creations.
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli’s strong leadership style, their professional and creative approach -highly characteristic of Valentino’s corporate identity- joined to their extremely talented in-house team of designers, allowed them to make the most of Valentino’s iconic style.

THE COLLECTIONS
Valentino Haute Couture offers a variety of collections made up of unique items singularly handcrafted in the prestigious atelier situated in Rome. A team of about 40 “Premiere” is entirely dedicated to the highest quality
manufacturing of one of a kind precious creations. Valentino Prêt-à-Porter presents sophisticated, exclusive lines for women and men intended for an elegant,
but unconventional young clientele belonging to the new international jet set.
Valentino Garavani signs lines of accessories such as bags, shoes, small leather goods, belts and bijoux for women and men. Haute Couture details appear in all of these refined creations, majority of which are
handmade. Classic iconic Valentino motifs are reinterpreted to enrich incredibly modern accessories. Valentino Garavani is a product category which has been particularly successful and in continuous evolution.
Valentino Roma combines seductive charm with modern elegance, interpreting the contemporary woman’s lifestyle in an elegant Prêt-à-Porter collection. This product line blends classic trends with casual styles,
adding a touch of practicality to specific technical details.
RED Valentino, established to offer a different point of view from Prêt-à-Porter, represents the Valentino woman’s contemporary and unconventional style.
A different vision, a modern fairytale made up of original creations, impalpable fabrics, elegant finishes and details in which all the Maison’s distinctive traits appear.
The Maison also offers a variety of fragrances, watches, eyewear and silks produced under licensing agreements.

My special attention caught the vibrant Rainbow collection .
Sometimes I still wonder – how would our world be if everything is as colourful as the rainbow? A world with happy colours like bright yellow, strawberry red, lychee pink and apple green.

No more grey clouds, no more brown mud and no more dark tunnels. Wouldn’t that be exciting?

You’ve probably heard this more than a thousand times, and maybe you don’t belief such things in your life, but happiness is really in the mind. If we can paint our inside world like Alice in Wonderland (with only the good guys), where everything is possible and optimistic, you will have the strength and power to handle everything that the outside world throw at you.

And if you got your life together and structured, perhaps you want to radiate that energy to your surroundings. One way to do that is to look at Valentino’s latest release the Rainbow Collection but is just for boldest fashionista’s. Those who understand how to blend the perfect style together, even with the worst fashion pieces and who love extravagant style and very bright colours mixed together. Personally for me this collection wake me up from the lazy and short winter cold days and helped me to fight with the typically rainy and cloudy british weather. It is like special hand and custom made for all these countries where is lack of sun and energy everyday. This rainbow pattern is perfect for spring and summer mood and coordinate very well with all the colourful nature which will be slowly waking up soon. Of course we should use this rainbow pattern in a moderation as less mean more. Just one or maximum two parts of garderobe should be from  this collection and mixed with other plain fabrics to be elegant, tasty, chic and sophisticated.

 But what I liked the most is the backpack edition of Valentino, we know how hot backpacks are recently. They are ever, it’s like school-time is back in-style.





















I have also have picked and showed nice embroidered long  dress in hippie 60s style and the orange top with leather flower contrasting collar together with beautiful sequin heels in greens and camouflage  colourful sweater.
As we are in a bright and spring mood I can do a presentation of my spring lime green outfit.







The main product here is the Wellington Hunter boots in fresh and vibrant neon lime green shade.
I am not a big fan of rubber boots but I gave a try to this famous brand from Scotland. Previously I had a pink Ted Baker Wellington boots but I have sold them as they have been too big and too heavy. This one are size 5 as size 6 was too big. Also I had to mention that they are bit narrow in low part of  the feet but they do not do half sizes. Apart from that aspect they are really light and comfy .
They are decorated with nice vertical stripe in lighter shade on the back and silver buckle on the side. In the Hunter shop was a lot of choice of different colours but this one is one of my favourite and match nicely with olive green too. I have completed outfit based on the boots together with my Ted Baker very loved peplum coat and few jumpers in similar shades. I could not forget about Missoni olive green mosaic scarf . All parts together coordinated perfectly with bouquet of artificial flowers.

The iconic Original Tall boot. At the heart of the Hunter Original brand and representing Hunter’s spirit, the boot has developed from the designs worn by pioneers. It evolved from the boot commissioned by the Duke of Wellington. His namesake style, or welly as it has become affectionately known, was first created in the early 20th century. Today the Original Boot is handcrafted from 28 parts and worn by those who lead. The style is built on the original last for exceptional fit and comfort and is made from innovative vulcanised rubber for protection from the weather.
Hunter is a British heritage brand with a rich history of innovation and is renowned for its iconic Original boot. Established in 1856, the brand is worn by those who lead, forging designs to shield pioneers from the elements and the bleakest of landscapes. Hunter was founded by American entrepreneur Henry Lee Norris. Landing on Scottish soil, he founded the North British Rubber Company, later to be known as Hunter. There he produced boots and other industrial items, using the newly patented and innovative vulcanisation process to create durable rubber products.
From humble beginnings of just 4 people, by the mid-1870s the company had grown to 600 staff members, but it was at the start of World War I in 1914 that production at the factory rose dramatically. To protect soldiers stationed in the trenches, the War Office commissioned sturdy rubber boots. The mill ran 24 hours a day to keep up with demand, manufacturing over 1 million boots over the war period. Recognised for protective designs, the British Rubber Company was called upon again in 1939 after the outbreak of World War II.
The year 1956 marks the creation of the Original Green Wellington, a style later became known as the Original boot, the iconic design at the heart of the Hunter brand. Today the boots are still made on the original last and are handcrafted from 28 parts.Lauded for the quality of its footwear, Hunter was awarded a Royal Warrant by Appointment to HRH Duke of Edinburgh in 1977 and later to HM The Queen in 1986, an accolade of the highest order.

From pioneers and explorers to celebrities and icons, Hunter boots soared in popularity. They were worn by Lady Diana Spencer in her engagement photos in 1981 and later by Kate Moss at Glastonbury. Today the boots are instantly recognisable on the festival fields of Britain and across the globe. The Hunter brand now is also well know for fashionable and stylish other type of boots plus clothing and accessories.







Could be also worn with my favourite khaki Isabel Marant parka,ripped distressed boyfriend jeans from Frame Los Angeles and olive green military style tunic blouse from Polo Ralph Lauren .







My outfit is decorated with hand made wood rose flowers .
Below green make up to match my style today and fantastic quality time with my little one in Uxbridge.
