Valentino’s summer collection can be thought of as nothing but inspiring. With its soft silhouette pallet and heavy influences from Dutch potter motifs the soft pallet of this new collection are stunning to say the least.  The different Hughes of cerulean blue mixed with optic white, has my mind racing to the gorgeous Mykonos coast line. This collection comprises of  Stunningly light day dresses and skirts that fit seamlessly into any Mediterranean coast resort, and shift harmoniously into night time couture.  I love this colour pallet, it’s so fresh and vibrant and it really breathes light and airy. Perfect for the hot summer ahead. It really takes the term “I found love in Mykonos” to a whole new level. With delicate blue orchids, peacock feathers and various different flowers from ancient pottery vase print, it’s easy to fall in love with the stunning print that encapsulates this collection.  Whilst this collection does remind me slightly of my grandmothers China ...

One of the biggest trends to his this fall fashion season is square toed shoes. Dubbed the Bottega effect, the name sake brand has been the pioneer in introducing square toed shoes for women.

I know the struggle is real for me in pointed toed shoes, because it feels like i literally only have two toes and the other three need to somehow stack behind the tw...

I like many of you love fashion, but staying relevant in fashion can be really hard. From Valentino to Chanel and Celine to Prada, the seasons are bustling with new statement pieces that i want in my closet.  But fashion, especially luxury fashion can be such an expensive endeavour to keep up with. And with most of my paycheck going towards one bag, it can be very difficult to be constantly updating and changing my wardrobe. While most of us look at posts from high fashion influencers like Chiara Ferragni and Jessica Stein, and their ever evolving wardrobe of luxury handbags and fantasise about what new bag to add to our collection. They change bags weekly and move onto a different brand, size and colour, making it difficult to emulate these fashion icons. I love buying a new bag, the smell of new leather and the feeling of peeling the little plastic away from the clasp (is probably my favourite part) no matter the brand, size or colour i find it just as exciting no matter whic...
