C&C California String Vest

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

cc-california.jpgYou may have heard of C&C California as it’s a brand almost always used when a TV show or films stylist needs casual clothes for the Hollywood pictures. Well that’s how I knew about it. It has recently branched out to the UK with concessions in Browns, Harvey Nichol, The Cross, Liberty and Selfridges & Co.

One of its classics, the White Tank by C&C California, with spaghetti straps and banded trim. The lightweight soft feel cotton and shapely cut top is comfy and stylish. Wear it during the day with your Juicy sweats like the Californians and by night with some super cool skinny jeans, ankle boots or courts and a hip leather jacket.

Get your Classic White Tank by C&C California from My Wardrobe for £38.


Mawi Teardrop & Pearl Necklace

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

mawi-teardrop-pearl-necklace.jpgI absolutely love the summer colours especially when they are the colour of dresses and accessories. This Mawi Teardrop and Pearl Necklace is beautiful, bright and a must this summer!

Apart from being an uber-cool size, the lime acrylic cluster teardrop and blue oversized pearl beads sparkle adding the x factor to any outfit. With a gold-tone Swarovski floral crystal clasp fastening the back of the neck it’s just perfect. Wear it with a strapless dress and possibly a green or blue matching clutch and stilettos.

Get your Mawi Teardrop and pearl necklace only available at Net A Porter exclusively in this colour, costing a seemingly reasonable £203.


Stella’s Jumpsuits!

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Stella Mc Cartney Cream JumpsuitI am a huge fan of the jumpsuit and am so impressed with Stella Mc Cartney’s divine selection for Spring/Summer. I particularly love this very simple cream jumpsuit with a rouched bust, as it is so effortlessly chic and just looks so comfortable!

I can just picture myself in the Caribbean with a smouldering tan wearing this great outfit with just a pair of gorgeous gladiator sandals to add some hardness and edge to the look.

If you’re lucky enough to be jetting off to the Caribbean or somewhere just as hot this summer you may like to treat yourself to a Stella Mc Cartney jumpsuit, this particular jumpsuit can be purchased from Browns fashion for £635!


Zara Florals!

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Zara Floral MaxiFinally Zara have their new website up and running with fantastic pictures of their spring/summer 08 collection.

With floral prints sprouting up everywhere this season it doesn’t come as a surprise that Zara has jumped on board the floral trend with this beautiful flowing maxi dress. The delicate floral print they have chosen works so well on the beautiful chiffon used to create this desirable piece.

I personally love the way they have styled this very feminine dress with a huge heavy leather studded waist belt; it just makes it look that bit more edgy, moving it away from the typical girly look! From the fabulousness of this dress I’m looking forward to see what else Zara has in store for the summer season.

Trendy Flats!

Mesh flats by Stella Mc CartneyForget your heels! Give your feet a rest and turn to Stella Mc Cartneys uber trendy Blue mesh flats!

It is refreshing to see a pair of flats that are actually stylish, cool and best of all; not frumpy! The vivid blue colour is what immediately attracted me to these shoes as I must admit I have a bit of a blue fetish at the moment. However when I looked beyond the colour I noticed the patent trim that made me fall even more in love with them!

These shoes are great for casual wear and would really bring life to a pair of washed out denims! However net a porter have recommended breaking up a black outfit with them, which looks fab too! I guess the choice is yours! For £215 buy your Stella McCartney Mesh flats today from Net a porter.
