White Lace

Ah, I wish I was heading towards some private villa in the Caribbean, so I would have a chance to wear this "innocent" lace playsuit by Asos Salon ;)

Black Metal

At the end of August I literally went crazy over the rocky "black leather - silver metal" accessories. These made a great match to my cropped leather jacket and were shining brightly in the last beams of sun... (Most surprising detail: my mum adored them too!)

 

Here is the composition of my daily "ammunition":

 

- Silver plate hair elastic by Lindex
- "JN" initials leather-look bracelet by Jovonna London (originally it had "jovonna" letters on and was sent to me as a gift for the order, but I though I could slightly modify it to look cool ;)
- Leather-metal studs bangle by Lindex
- Silver earrings with zircons and onyx (purchased several years ago and disliked by my mom at that time)
- 2 part leather-metal button cuff by Lindex

To make it crystal clear: I believe Lindex definetly is the best place to choose your must have shiny leather-look bracelet for this fall/winter! So keep on tracking their arrivals here.

Clutch DIY

During the summer sale I hesitated for a while in front of these Vero Moda 2-tone suede/leather clutches... The quality of the bag was frighting me off, whilst it's price of 9 Eur was quite appealing...

At the end I decided to purchase one in order to satisfy my creative mood; as suddenly  I got the idea of embellishing this bag (surely a result of browsing Vogue the night before)!

 So there it was:

 



Then I pulled out my huge box of beads, pearls & old bijous and started to design:





Et voilà! The creative outcome:





Turkish Delight

Among my 25th Birthday presents there was this vintage silver necklace, brought to me directly from Turkish bazaar ;)

 

It has a V-shaped pendant in some ethnical motives incrusted with zircons, ruby and emerald paste. I percept it as two mythical firebirds in a tresure cave guarding the giant emerald eye :)

 

 

 

Although not really my style of jewellery, I can't take my eyes of this marvelous emerald colour... neither can I resist the bling of zircons!

The only trouble is to find the suitable earrings... I would not like to go just for some matching ones, I'd rather mix&match it with something more contemporary.

 

Oasis oasis

(If I haven't told you yet...)
Oasis is definetly the brand I love (as pathetic as it may sound)! ;)

Reason for this adoration? This London brand offers smart cut feminine garments in good quality fabrics and trendy colouring at a more or less affordable price.

Few years ago first Oasis store in Latvia was opened in "Spice" shopping mall. And about a year ago I discovered their online shop www.oasis-stores.com

This link is definetly worth saving in "favorites"!

Below are some advantages of the online shopping with Oasis:

• whilst still at full price in store, some items are already offered at the reduced price online
• if subscribed to a newsletter, special offers are regularly sent to your mailbox 
• further reductions are impressive; e.g. 15 Eur for a skirt or 25 Eur for a dress - trust me, it is a bargain!
• pictures are quite realistic, short description and fabric composition is available
• there is a possibility to leave feedback for the item, which sometimes helps a lot to understand whether the garment looks similar to the picture or not, does it crinckle a lot etc.
• international shipping costs 10 Eur; the parcel is delivered by DHL carrier (however it took my last order 3 weeks to arrive)
• very nice bonus:  labled hangers are included ;)

The only tricky part is the stock availability. Sometimes after adding the item to the shopping bag and proceeding to checkout you get an "out of stock" or "available for UK delivery only" notification. However I haven't experienced this issue lately, so hopefully this failure will soon be fixed! ;)

Happy shopping!

P.S. So far I didn't have a need to return anything back - so can't advice you on that process! ;)

Prophecy

I don't possess a single Prophecy branded piece, so when I saw this light cotton top with vibrant embellishment reduced from 90 Eur to 15 Eur, I thought I have to "get acquainted" with it ;)

Unfortunately this turned out to be a "high price does not guarantee..." experience. Though the quality of the item was good, somehow it's design appeared to be "too sophisticated" to make you good look in it.

 

Lime-black

Lime-black trend is still on top and definetely among my favourite colour combinations.
At the moment I have an eye on this luminescent Monton cardigan:
