Christmas Outfit

My dream outfit: Sapphire dress, necklace, earrings and rib-cage ring all from Anthropologie; Salvatore Ferragamo Vara pumps.

I feel Christmas is almost upon us even if we are not yet in December (blame all the cosy window displays and Christmas lights in the streets!). So I'm already dreaming of a Christmas outfit, again even if I don't dress up that much for Christmas! It's all quite relaxed in my family and the only thing we really dress up is the table.
Anyway, I got this super duper beautiful dress in Anthropologie with my birthday money and I can't wait to wear it, so maybe I will dress up for Christmas Eve this year. I don't own any dresses (well I've got some, but I don't wear them, ha!) so you could say I'm making an exception this time. Luckily, the dress is not as short as in the picture and it covers my knees, making the fact that I'm showing my legs a bit less uncomfortable. I really feel so happy to have found a dress that I like myself in and that I can wear to lots of occasions. Or at least that's what I say to myself... :)
Weddings, dinner parties, the opera....the places where I go so often haha
The good thing about this dress is that I can get away wearing ballerinas or a small heel like the one that a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo Vara pumps have, the perfect excuse to own them!
I just hope I will use this dress enough to compensate the amount of money spent on it! (Although, I got it with a 20% discount..)
Wish me luck!

Autumn mood

Posting a group of photographs that describe my mood right now: I'm into cold colour walls, warmth through natural materials such as wood and leather, and a touch of cosiness with blankets, rugs and soft colour flowers.
I call this style Messy Scandinavian ;)

Some of this photographs can be found on my new Pinterest board: Creative Display, something that I consider crucial in any home.

Btw, yesterday I went to Paris and is such a beautiful city that I wouldn't mind living there one day.
Well, I guess a lot of people think the same :)

Recent buys

About a week ago I went to Kings Road in Chelsea and as I always do I go into pretty much any shop that catches my attention. So I got off from the bus at Chelsea Old Town Hall and I thought I would have a sneaky peek at Anthropologie's Mid-Season sale (the word "sale" played a big part on me going in) - what a mistake!! My boyfriend knew what was coming next, but I was saying to myself that there was no reason to think I would end up buying something, but of course I did.
This photos are the proof.
I already had the plate and the necklace on it from previous trips to the shop. James and I bought between us the two pretty coasters. I had been wanting the pink one (called Celestial Coaster, such a cool name) for sooooo long and it was on sale! Also the blue (the print on it meant to look like lace but it reminds me of fossils). The gold necklace was an impulsive last minute buy (and early birthday present from James). Couldn't resist having it as it is so similar to this Marc Jacobs one I have always liked but is much more pricey. Now I have my two statement necklaces for this season :)

Vintage

 

Hello! I have been wanting to show you this bag for ages! 

It's a navy cross body bag from the 70s and I bought it a few months ago (maybe just 2) from Human Sea Vintage. Looking almost new, made of good leather from Salisbury and velvety lining...My friend Dulcie is the one behind and a genius finding vintage treasures (while I'm terrible at it!). Check out her shop because she is accepting offers! 

Human Sea is her personal blog where she shares her incredibly good style among other things. 

Ahh... if only I could pull off those dresses and peter pan collars...
