I Really Love My...60's Vibe

Tuesday, 08 November 2011

The 60's are so popular right now and I absolutely love this trend. I read an article a while ago (I'm sorry, I can't credit it as I have no idea where I read it) that said that our current obsession with the 60's is related to the fact that people felt in the 60's that they were on the edge of something big and that we have that same feeling now, which is why we identify with it. In any case, I really like this look. My Amy Winehouse costume inspired me to do the cat's eye and I found this headband while buying some socks for a coworker. (Don't ask) and  I loved it! And red nails are a classic!

I Really Love My... Floral Shrug and Stackable Bracelets

Tuesday, 25 October 2011

Shrugs are one of those things that I have a love/hate relationship with. They go in and out of style so fast, I'm never sure if I should wear mine or not. Plus they can make you look disproportionate if you aren't careful. Being a mad Kate Middleton/Duchess Catherine fan I loved the one she wore for her wedding reception! Let's have a recap.

Florals on the other hand are something I can't resist despite the quizzical look on my face here. 

These bracelets are the best dollar I ever spent! And the pink nails are an experiment for me but one I quite like.

Of course, I absolutely adore my wedge booties as well. I was shopping online recently and while browsing a certain item ( don't remember what) it recommend me these boots. I guess I'm a bit predictable!
