I can't even begin to tell you how badly I yearn for these cute Charlotte Olympia pumps! Forget the ballet pumps, these have definitely become the new classic pump, which've become a celebrity favourite, with the likes of Alexa Chung, Katy Perry (of course) and Sarah Jessica Parker. Too bad they're over £400.... ;(

But hey, look what I found!

Hello Monday!

Okay so today was shiiitt... here are some things which have cheered me up! :)


  1. I've been quite obsessed with blogger Garance DorĂ©'s "Excuse My French" video series, her accent is seriously cute plus it's quite nice to see her everyday life from her perspective. Check them out here if you haven't already!
  2. I'm so ready for summer... and here's a tutorial on how to make the perfect flower headband from Honestly, WTF. I actually wanted to try my hand at this last summer but I couldn't find the right materials! This summer I'm determined to do it!
  3. Simple classic clothing. I'm lusting for a shopping trip (even though I'm broke as hell) and after searching on online shops, I think I'll be hitting places such as Gap, Uniqlo and Zara the most! Here's what I wore today!

Shirt- Gap Navy jumper- Old school uniform one from M&S :P




Ugh three things... still all good things come in threes. Hope everyone's had a good start to the week!

Sorry for not posting this week, I was so so busy! Vowing to post more regularly. Speaking of vowing, saw The Vow at the cinema on Saturday, it was so sad! However, I didn't cry so I felt a bit unsatisfied, but anyways, a great movie, definitely go see it if possible.

Have a great week! Xxx

Lindsey Wixson by Tim Walker for Vogue Italia

I'm probably going to be up all night, so I thought I'd dedicate some time to making a post :)

Call me slow, but I only just found out about this! In the January 2012 edition the wonderful Tim Walker collaborate with Vogue Italia and Lindsey Wixson (whom is one of my favourite models) for an editorial with a psychologically creepy, yet innocent doll theme. There were too many to post, so here are my favourites (I hate choosing!)

Enjoy! x





Those dimples kinda scare me..

Monday blues

Monday blues


Organic by John Patrick long sleeve t shirt, $288
Denim shirt, $60
Uniqlo striped tunic, £20
Uniqlo stretch pants, £35
Parisian Chic: A Style Guide By Ines De La Fressange, £17
River Island kitten heels, $38
POLO RALPH LAUREN v-neck jumper, £145



My current wishlist... at the moment I'm lusting everything blue! I've had a flick through the Parisian Chic book and it's definetely on my list of books to buy. Also at the moment I've been looking around for the classic blue and white striped sailors shirt. I'm guessing Uniqlo is my best option as Petit Bateau is a little out of budget.

Hope everyone's had a good day!

Elie Saab Couture Spring 2012 Collection favourites


The cut of the material around the plunging neckline makes this dress sexy and daring, but keeping it classy at the same time. That, with the bow belt, this dress further emphasises the waistline making this look suitable for most body shapes.



What I love about this, and the one above, is how the detailing kind of fades towards the neck/chest area of the dress. These two dresses are pretty much the same design expect one has sleeves and the other cuts off at the shoulders, which makes this design versatile. 

PERFECT shade of green!


A more playful, everyday kind of dress design, this one is probably my favourite one out of the whole collection. This champagne/beige colour means that the make up possibilities are endless; one could go with a dark brown smokey eye look, or minimalist as done here in the show. However for the I think regardless of the eye make up looks, the lips should stay nude in order to compliment the dress colour. 

On a final note, Elie Saab's choice of pastel colours makes this collection very on trend.

Golden Globes 2012

As I was browsing pictures of what celebrities wore to the Golden Globes, there were two mutual themes going on. The first obvious one was;

Nude dresses
Here are my favourites;

Heidi Klum
Nicole Kidman
Julie Bowen  
Kristen Wiig 
Second one was not so obvious, but I couldn't help but realise that Gucci was a popular choice amongst the actresses.

Gucci dresses

Salma Hayek
Jessica Alba
Evan Rachel Wood
I have to say my favourite out of the second theme was Jessica Alba's gown. The colour really brings out that envious glow plus the purse was a great match but not too matchy-matchy. Also the details in all three dresses are beautiful; in the merging moss green to black in Wood's dress and the the sexy golden bust which almost resembles some sort of mirror effect you'd see in contemporary art.

Some other gowns I loved;

Sharon Osbourne; A MUCH better choice but this dress caught my eye immediately out of the others, very elegant and the print is so so beautiful.

Emma Stone; The colour enhances her ivory skin tone and the interesting choice of belt clinches at the waist perfectly.

Dame Helen Mirren; The diamonte belt separates the two textures in this dress and she pulls off the plunging neckline in a very elegant manner.

Viola Davis; the maroon colour completely compliments her skin tone plus the high slit shows off her long legs and the one shoulder strap accentuates her collar bones and broad chest .  Perfect choice.
Please let me know which ones were your favourite!

Cropped Printed Trousers

Cropped Printed Trousers


Desigual velvet pants, £35
Clements Ribeiro floral pants, £210
Junya Watanabe faux leather pants, £157
Jane Norman summer pants, €21
A.L.C. high rise pants, $595
By Malene Birger cropped capri pants, £169
Chie Mihara strappy sandals, $316
Jimmy Choo suede booties, $650
Roman sandals, $45
Emilio Pucci lace up sandals, $980
Lipsy platform sandals, $86
Alexander Wang multi colored high heels, $525



My current obsession at the moment; printed trousers. Luckily, one of my favourite one's from Jane Norman, and therefore relatively cheap! :) For the shoes I think it's best to go with simple black flats of heels, as the trousers are already an eyeful. However, I think for the first two trousers on the left the electric blue and green flats would go perfectly as the colour combo works well. 


Tell me what you think of these! Kisses, Aisha
