My Kind Of Neutrals

Really loving all the softer neutral pallettes lately. Think icy greys, whites and barely there pastels, these are all great transitional colours. Although I don't really believe that certain colours are only meant to be worn in certain seasons, but I find myself gravitating more towards the cooler and paler shades during summer. Maybe it's drilled in my subconscious that the lighter the clothing, the more it will repel the suns rays. The heat is definitely not my friend, but I have to live with it and I might aswell enjoy it fashion-wise.

Have a fab weekend!

Aileen

I received these Tony Bianco 'Aileen' Heels for my Birthday/Christmas. I've been lusting after black lace-up heels like the Azzedine Alaia Heels after seeing them on Barbara Martello here. 

I'm never going to be her no matter how much I wish for it, nor am I ever going to afford the real deal and even if I could afford them, I would need to move heaven and earth to actually locate them in my size. 

Then Tony Bianco decided to make a look-alike for me (yes the world revolves around me - I wish!). I was super excited when I came across them and now I am ridiculously obsessed with them even if it takes about half an hour to put each shoe on.

Have a lovely weekend folks!

A Few Of My Favourite Things

Just generally appreciating the beautiful light coming through our space today. Plus I had just finished cleaning the house so I felt a whole lot less OCD.

Out With The Old, In With The Not-So-New

I'm a shop-a-holic at heart, although lately I've really really tried to cut down (I swear!).

I remember my dad telling me ages ago when I first got a job and started earning money, that there will always be nice things out there and really think about what you're buying. Those words really ring true when I start to over stuff my mental wish list.

I've had this grey drop waist ASOS dress for a while now and have always been meaning to do something to it. While it looks nice in the elephant gray, can't really go wrong with that colour, I thought I'd spruce it up a bit and add some colour. Grey and pink is probably one of my fave colour combos.

The Tony Bianco shoes were bought for this purpose. I loved the toe cap look and nothing out there really stood out for me. I didn't want the boring metallic toe caps that every brand and copy-cat-brand brought out and at the time I couldn't find any with a colour combo that grabbed me. I decided to hit eBay and scored these brand new Tony Bianco shoes in white pearl for $60, these retails for $129.95, and the shoe paints I already had lying around.

I mixed some colours to get the desired nude blush for the body and just the right pink for the toe area. I was well chuffed with the result as the colours are very versatile for me and my wardrobe.
