If Only I Were Rich...

Anthropologie are having a sale. And despite having no money I continue to browse its wonderful website! I have restricted myself to longing for only a couple of things...

 

I have to confess that I very much love shirt dresses. There is something about the silhouette that just makes me feel fabulous! And this looks like it would be one of those such dresses! I love the main pattern on the dress, particulary when combined with the contrasting tie and back panel.

I just love, love, love this skirt. The contrast between the black and bold blocks of colour is just perfect! This is the skirt that spins out so perfectly when you twist and twirl so happily! If only I were rich...

Collecting Shiny Things...

I have developed a slight magpie tendency recently; I am drawn to all manner of sparkly things, but in particular the delights of costume jewellery. I recently discovered Shourouk Rhaiem's wonderful work and had to share it!

I think the 'Funky Art Deco Necklace' has got to be my favourite. I love the asymmetric shape combined with the fabulous blend of colours! And, of course, the diamanté! Its definitely a cheerful necklace and I would have so much fun wearing it - oh to have the money...

A Roaring Revival

Apparently the 1920s are having a comeback in the fashion world - many celebrities have been recently spotted wearing vintage or vintage inspired dresses. But, for me, the fascination has been much longer. Ever since I first watched (and fell in love) with Chicago I have admired that era; and coveted a beautiful dress complete with magnificent beading!

I just love everything about these dresses! The beads, the crisscrossed straps, the uneven hems, and especially the glamour which surrounds them! An evening wearing one of these dresses would always be fabulous!!
