The good thing about living in a very touristic suburb, is that I get a wide selection of international magazines on my closets and only newsagent. I had 5 min to burn, browsing all the March issues they just brought in, from Russian, French, German, Spanish and British magazines. And the one who mainly brought my attention, was this cute navy dress featured in More Magazine from Boohoo.com.

I rushed home to check their whole collection online, and WoW, I came up with an incredible A List of cute sailor, flower, dot, dresses and jumpsuits. Plus the price range is around £15. It will definitely be a boohoo.com year for my closet knowing how broke I’m at the moment. And well done for those online sores that can bring  cute and affordable clothing to all of us, and with an international delivery service, even though we can’t expect to much on the quality.

I wish my house was as spectacular as the 40 Winks Boutique Hotel. All thanks to David Carter, owner and extremely talented and well known interior designer.

This hotel situated in the very trendy East London, has such a wonderful charm, with a cocktail explosion of romance, retro-antique, Marie-Antoinette, well, everything I like.

I always loved small cosy hotels, but if I can also get a wicked, fantastic, all I want decoration, I will never want to leave the hotel, and will spend my days in, photo-shooting myself with my Vintage clothing all over the places.

Anyways, if you go to London, don’t miss out the chance to book a room in 40 Winks. I’m already planning to go to London, just to spend some nights at the hotel, even though I have family and friends living around with their doors open.

 

 

And just to get the cherry on the cake, in 40 Winks Hotel, you can also experience a day as a Vintage Starlet, at their monthly Tart event.  This includes a day of pampering, yummy cakes and cocktails, vintage make up tips, massages, vintage fashion clothing & accessories. Come on, what else do we want. ♥ it!

I just got this lovely pair of boots from H&M. Practical, cool & comfortable for my trip to South of France.  Obviously, I was hoping to find the Jimmy Choo collection for H&M, but unfortunately that was not the case, guess that’s the disadvantage of living out of the capital, as only 200 H&M stores are selling the so wanted Jimmy Choo’s. But I’m not complaining, as I love my new boots.

This last month I got 3 pairs of high heels, which is very rarely. I love them, but I must admit that I’m always wearing flat shoes, so my beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, high heels, will be worn once and after kept in their boxes. An other problem is that I end up buying black shoes each time. Just can’t resist it.
