Passion and love for vintage fashion !!!

Today I would like to introduce my latest fashion combinations .The main dominant colour is a baby pink and nude. Last weekend I have created some sets which are light,bright and fresh and they are good entrance to the spring season .Outside still they do not spoil us and temperature is low and We need cosy ,fluffy and warm stuff but with prestige and luxury accent .

One of the famous designer is LK Bennett .

L.K.Bennett is a British accessible luxury brand and shoe specialist that reflects its unmistakable heritage; a modern blend of femininity, colour and style. Its collections of shoes, ready-to-wear, handbags and accessories, appeal to women who want a wardrobe perfect for any occasion. Founded by Linda Bennett in London in 1990 and renowned for her signature kitten heel shoes favoured by celebrities and stylish women alike, L.K.Bennett rapidly became the ultimate destination for feminine footwear. Ready-to-wear collections were introduced in 1998 establishing the company as a leading fashion house. 

July 2008 saw an important step in L.K.Bennett’s expansion as Robert Bensoussan, co-founder of Sirius Equity, together with Phoenix Equity Partners invested in the brand as majority shareholders.

A design-driven label with a luxury twist, the distinctive handwriting stays strong thanks to a dedicated in-house design team, creating looks that appeal to an expanding customer base. The Group has significant retail and wholesale presence in key international markets including North America, Europe and the Middle East and is now operating through 166 branded locations around the world including 114 in the UK and Ireland and online at lkbennett.com.

This year I am a leather boots girl. I have got one black pair from Bromley & Russell and second one in tan from LK Bennett . Very elegant and upscale model from very well know british designer which is loved by Kate Middleton Duchess of Cambridge and many TV stars and british celebrities .

Kate’s fondness for their products goes back to at least 2006, if not earlier. 

LK Bennett Stanley Riding Boots .

The chunky block heel provides definition and the almond toe updates this must-have of the season. Long equestrian-inspired boots with tassel and belt detailing, crafted from shiny and luxurious leather  with two zips from each side and decoration along the boots. 

Looks amazing with jeans, chinos, jodhpurs, skirts and dresses. I have picked this model as I do not like plain boots .I prefer something more decorative and unique .

Very famous and well established footwear and clothes designer in the industry .
Instead of leather riding boots it is possible to wear with this above outfit cosy and plush Australia Luxe  Collective Ulysses in sand. Beautiful boots with luxury Australian sheepskin embellished with modern chain detailing. Finished in sand with a Luxe sole foot bed for unrivalled comfort. 
All the Australia boots are hand crafted from the finest luxurious Australia sheepskin to form the highest quality .Privately I adore few of the models special the one above but also another one which i will introduce on next occasion. I would like to have all collection as every each product is spectacular,unique and different than other.They are pure but always with special accent which make them special.  Anyway Australia boots in general is not only for keeping you warm is also for beauty and unique famous design to stand out from the crowd . 
I love sheepskin not only in cosy boots when I can snuggle my legs in but also keeping warm my head .I will introduce my UGG Australia ivory hat which is sweet ,cute,warm and pretty too .
The UGG company is compatible to Australia Luxe 

I am still a big fan of Ted Baker and in any of my outfits has to be some Ted accent .This time I choose lovely cardigan ,bomber jacket Caithi with botanical floral printing on light pale pink background Sportswear gets sophisticated with this CAITHI bomber. Patterned with Ted's botanical bloom print, the simple shape features a wool back and sleeves for a luxurious touch. I love the fabric as is cotton front mixed with wool . Usually Ted Baker bomber jackets are made from polyester but this one is different and basically I love it .Perfect for winter and early spring . It is from a current 2014/2015 collection. I have got for a birthday Ted Baker gift card and I have spoiled myself with two items . Bomber jackets are usually very practical as we can wear them in many ways as a jumper as a jacket or sweater . 

I have matched the jacket with basic pink plain top with lace decoration on the top from Stockholm brand and a leather metallic pale pink skirt from Passport .

Based in Böblingen, South West Germany, the Passport brand creates chic womenswear collections, designed to add that extra touch of elegance to your wardrobe. Passport is, first and foremost, a knitwear brand but they have now expanded their range of womenswear to include a whole host of garments, which are sure to delight any fashionista! Technical know-how coupled with a keen fashion sense make for chic collections, which are sure to become key staples in your wardrobe. 

Passport - pretty, feminine designs with a modern twist.

With 150 stores worldwide,Passport is fast becoming a globally recognised brand of womenswear. Their design team keeps a close eye on current trends, without being slaves to fashion at the same time. 

The skirt is designed in Germany and lovely decorated with silk trim which is giving nicely shape and make waist bit slimmer than in real .
The combination look really great with ivory tights and I was feeling like a  porcelain doll .
I am a big fan of leather clothes I have got some leather skirts but all in dark colours .This one goes  really well with many light jackets and could be worn on many different occasions and in different configurations .

As a bag I choose the Ted Baker Bow Gold Leather Brandy Bowler which I bought long time ago and worn a lot but still got incredible sentiment to it .Anyway is so strong and in lovely condition . it was limited edition and mine got number 100
On the end I have to mention about the unique, unusual, sophisticated Anna Sui sunglasses . When i saw the glasses in the shop I said to myself I must have it and immediately i bought them . I like to collecting a lot of stuff like make up ,bags,jewellery clothes ,shoes and sunglasses . I love big oversize usually in spectacular shapes butterfly,eye cat and in nice combination of colours and decorated .This one got small delicate flowers and leafs attached which was so different cute and fashionable .Bit bohemian ,hippie 60 style.I love them .The colour is also very practical and match with everything ,peach,beige ,light brown . It is from spring- summer 2012 collection, model 948 trend Hello Kitty and still available on amazon and spec shops but also in different colours . Fashion designer Anna Sui has really intrigued and inspired me . 
I really agree with her and follow her life and fashion philosophy 
I am happy for today as have managed to discover some new fashion world brands and expand my knowledge about fashion industry .

January winter sale and birthday time !!!

We have got already almost end of January and soon we can start thinking about the Spring and lighter clothing .Before that I will still need to demonstrate some lovely chic and glamorous outfits and garments which I like to show off 

January is a month of seasonal sale and is giving us perfect opportunity to get some good bargains which we can wear now or leave for the next cold season . Also is a month when I have a birthday and getting older . Really happy about getting presents but not about the age .

On the beginning I will share my definitely passion for fashion 

I have visited Bicester Village and have got beautiful Guess Denim blue jacket with jumper sleeves and  black faux leather collar. Excellent combination which can match easy with skinny jeans or skirt I bought also pair of Guess skinny jeans which imitated easy leather with shiny purple-silver pattern on and zips on ankles .

Special attention needs the luxurious silk scarf from House of Fraser with horses motive from Ralph  Lauren .Lovely mixture of my favourite colours purple ,mustard,green and pink .Another part of my collection is a cute umbrella and bag and also beach body cover which looks like a light beach dress from flower collection Opulent Bloom .Will be perfect for a beach adventure .There is also a little  aquamarine cotton t shirt with flower pattern  from Ted Baker and sophisticated formal trousers Ted Baker cigarets with funky artistic paint on .On the end I am leaving two items ,one is a pair of Miu Miu Vernice luxurious patent leather glitter kitten heel pumps in fuchsia spring colour which I will wear with summery dresses .The final product is a heritage green wool TB jacket with embellished collar and softy silky lining with hunting print . I saw first time the jacket in Ted Baker store on the Airport  but I did not decide to buy later on I had still on my mind and start searching and searching then I have found .

I did not add yet few of products which I found as well in January and I will show them later on .

For that special day I was wearing black velvet skirt with cobalt blue silk top and sophisticated hand crafted calf soft skin high pointy boots from MIU MIU Capretto spring 2012 collection and faux fur elegant jacket from Juicy Couture with black Michael Kors Python Patent  leather bag with gold chains .I have took the photos inside . I complement the final look with silk scarf with similar print like a Miu Miu boots . I have presented the scarf before .

The boots were available in wide variety of colours .I managed to get with blue flowers on black and grey background. They look vintage and sophisticated. I am a really Miu Miu addict and love them .They are really manageable as not too high and the leather is so soft . The boots will look interesting as well with denim skinny jeans and denim jacket . 

We went to Kensington high street to a Caffe Concerto . Very elegant and chic please with lovely interior designing and chandeliers . I have had a very unique dish breast of duck with pear ,walnut and green salad with berry sauce .

The main speciality there are a very artistic cakes which are catching attention from the outside window with chocolate ,fresh fruits and much much more for a delicious experience 

This luxurious Italian dining experience offers exquisite handmade cakes, pastries and gâteaux . In a contemporary dining room in the heart of London, Caffe Concerto  welcomes dessert lovers with a front window display of decadent inspired creations and sweet treats. Perfect for a business meeting or a catch-up with friends, among Caffe Concerto’s most popular treats are the delicious Selva Gâteau, chocolate sponge with crème pâtisserie and mixed fruits, and the rich and creamy vanilla and chocolate mousse. Located amid many of London’s theatres and museums, this venue features opulent mirrors and café-style seating, as well as lavish leather booths.

Now before the end of the post I will concentrate bit on the Juicy coat which you can wear in different way as well 

Juicy Couture coat: light-brown faux fur, oversized notched collar, side slit pockets, fully lined in satin. Gold designer-engraved button fastenings at double-breasted front. 82% acrylic, 18% polyester; lining: 100% acetate. Dry clean. Designer color :Earth Haze.

The coat could be worn with leather trousers and black boots . High quality piece of fashion which I bought off ebay from a lovely, generous lady for very a little amount compare to original price .I am really delighted as is very warm light soft and comfortable . Look like a natural fur .Very good substitute for animal lovers . My new black handbag needs bit attention as well .I have myself a promise that every time when I am buying something new I will sale as well something old from my wardrobe which I do not wear or which I am bored with it .I managed to sell few products since December . My new black handbag is a Michael Kors Jet Chain embossed black python imitation leather .I gave a chance to this brand as I know is very popular with celebrities and girls around .In Bicester is a big store only with handbags and always is very busy . I am a fan of Ted Baker but decide to try this American Brand which is a bit similar to DKNY Donna Karan but I think more elegant and more choice of models and more decorative than simply and basic DKNY . The price range is a medium I would say .The quality of mine is really high ,the leather is soft and light what is important for me as I do not like carry heavy bags special that I need a lot of stuff in .The gold hardware is really solid and strong . Mine is made of patent shiny leather which I was not sure if I will like but I love it as is elegant and chic and modern . When I looked on the website I can see all the models usually in plain one colour or same patterned leather or embossed or with pattern with logo on it .They do not do flowers prints like a Ted Baker which are nice for a spring -summer time .Michael Kors is more office, elegant plain design bags for city business women.

Maybe next time will be possibility to try Miu Miu handbag and go for a level higher but could I afford ? Michael Kors is a New York City-based fashion designer widely known for designing classic American sportswear for women. He is Honorary Chairman and Chief Creative Officer for his company.

Spa ,rabbit,winter boots and MiuMiu !!!

It was a while since I have been here as Christmas period was really busy for me with the family ,preparation and business .I did not have enough  time to share my designs, fashion concepts, brands and ideas .I will try to catch as much as I can. In this post I will share some lovely moments which I managed to have before Christmas at Hilton Hotel in Reading . It was a spa weekend break . Brilliant time 

I was wearing multicolour mosaic retro style Ted Baker Orillia check cheritage tunic dress with a peter pan collar and black riding boots Horseguard Buckle Equestrian from Russel & Bromley and beautiful Canadian rabbit flying hat 

This year I am a riding boots girl .I bought for the winter two pair of high leather boots one in black above and one in tan brown which I will show on another occasion. 

Finding a perfect pair of boots is hard enough special that I do not like basic plain ones .I prefer something with a little decoration to give a nice accent . I bought both pairs from past collection but both new and from reputable and famous designers.  Riding boots are always in trend and fashion and  match perfectly with the skinny jeans ,tights or dress . They look much more elegant than the UGG or Australia Luxe boots which i used to adore last year .
I also love the aviator rabbit vintage hat from Crown Cap Winnipeg Canada which I have bought from Chiswick Boot sale .

Crown Cap began manufacturing textile headwear for the Western Canadian farm trade in 1934. In the midst of a decade long drought on the prairies, those working the land appreciated the relief and protection of a well-made fitted work cap.

When Paul Leinburd acquired Crown Cap in 1987 he saw the answer to a different kind of drought on the prairies—the absence of finely crafted luxury headwear and accessories. Impressed by the skilled handiwork of the Crown Cap production team, Paul knew that combining those old-world skills with high-end fur and leather materials would have the world knocking at his door. Indeed, unique designs and exquisite hand crafting has drawn world-renowned designer labels and retailers to the stunning creations at Crown Cap.

Based in Winnipeg, Canada, the company that started out with simple fitted headwear has maintained its prairie sensibilities while becoming a global fashion enterprise. This includes a commitment to creating the best products and materials while doing business in a way that is fair and socially responsible. Whether it’s a fashion-forward cap or a luxury fur hat, Crown Cap delivers unparalleled quality and service.

I have really soft spot for Miu Miu products special the shoes . This is only the shoes which do not hurt my delicate feet even if is on high heel and long hours in them .  I am keeping my eye on every single auction on e bay about Miu Miu products as this is only the way to get really bargains as the shoes in the shop cost fortunate and I am only to able to afford from the auction .

Everything is so perfect the shoes are so comfy and elegant even the box inside look like sophisticated vintage wall paper in gold delicate pattern .
