To keep or not to keep




So a dilemma, to keep or not keep?
Often i trust my own judgement, but on this one im unsure! Ma mere says oui!! Mon pere says non! Ma souer shrugged her shoulders!!

La dress is from topshop, please ignore the stupid faces, i was going to crop the pictures but it looked a little funny!!



Here is today's outfit



Top-Zara
Shorts- boutique find!
Sandals- " "
Plus LV Speedy 30 which didn't make an appearance.

I'm currently craving hot buttered toast, and I cant help but be a little cranky due to cutting out starches (potatoes,rice,pasta,bread etc) in my diet and but on the plus side i can feel the benefits already! Unfortunately i had to eat them yesterday due to a family party and i woke up with such a lack of energy, sluggish! I've lost 2lbs so far in a few days!!

I cant get enough of iced tea! Sipping outside while soaking up the sun and reading a little " grapes of wroth"

Just think


Just think, what do you think when you hear Marie Claire? Kind of cheesy, another " Instyle", kind of boring!
when i think of fashion spreads i think Vogue, Elle and Nylon.

But ah mes aimes,Suprisingly i stumbled across this shoot for Marie Claire Italy and it really open my eyes.

I want thunderstorms, messy hair, Winged eyeliner, Sequins.



I heart the dreary background, lighting, the winged eyeliner, the air of mystery, who is she?

Well the model is Alina Birladeanu

Monochromatic

I heart the simplicty, the classical look which monochrome creates.

Yes im wearing black lips, white tee and sunglasses and no i didnt go out in public like this. Although i wish i had the confidence to walk out my door, white skinnies, lose cropped black tee,, those rayban cats and black lips
Enchante, so darling no?


Hillary's outfit opitomies the latest trends, latex leggings, suede ankle boots, blazers. Even her roots are rather monochromatic, ironic no?



Peaches geldorf, rock star daughter. british, celebwannabe, punk socialite. C'est deteste, shes the uk version of paris hilton but worse as least paris has built a empire of her name. Ah my tongue, but isnt her dress darling.

My Companions

Companion - a person to accompany, assist, or live with another in the capacity of a helpful friend!!!

Well, these are my current companions ...

a) My Cell phone!!!
b) My pocket!!!
This line summarizes it all - My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. ( Courtesy - Rachel Carson )

Thinking wishing,craving

So drab so dull, stuck in a grey place. My whole look is tres grey, bland like a bowl of porridge. My heart wishes for fashion and style, but my head says " put on those tops you always wear, and those jeans which you have worn a hole in". But its time my heart has a say,


My heart took its first stop at topshop and made a wishlist, although i feel it is missing something?

My heart then took a turn on other things

Pass me these cream filled delights


and hang by the pool garden


xoxo

p.s just bought the floral bikini, dark wash skinny jeans and stripey shorts.
