SPRING HOTNESS: ALDO DOES FABULOUSNESS

 

Hello loves! Brrrrrr, I just cannot get over the fact we had a major blizzard going down in London today and everywhere else across the UK is totally freezing, not quite the Spring I had in mind. Although it's not quite the weekend, I just had to share some Friday Fabulousness with you now! I recently checked out Canadian shoe & accessory giant Aldo's flagship store on Oxford street and it was just filled with so many gorgeous, gorgeous things & frankly brimming with fabulousness. I could not help but pick things up (mainly high heels) but had to some things back down again, remembering that I wouldn't be able to strut my stuff being pregnant with my current swollen-ish tooties and all.
Anyhow, I'm pretty sure anything here would be brilliant for updating your Spring wardrobe, this seasons collection has everything from super hip & casual to chic & sophisticated statement wows.
 I love everything about these T-bar wedges, they just scream summer darlings! Reva Wedge £65
There are loads of fun cut out wedge heels from Aldo, so go crazy.
 Perfect for keeping you protected from the sun
Stylish and bold coloured satchels are a sure way to get you noticed! 
I'm in love! Love this spacious, studded number - this was one of the pieces I couldn't put down and had to have! Folortan £50 - also in nude/peach
 Hello Cinderella, these glass like heels are super chic for the office or dressing up jeans! Darelbeida £85
 My ultimate must-have statement heels - these leather snakeskin mix heels are just smoking hot! I love this collaboration with Preen for LFW - Musilova £125
Not donning heels, the metal toe cap flats are the way forward for looking sharp (although there are pumps version) I'd never say no to metallic - Bozena £45 
 Checks & stripes were huge on the Spring/Summer catwalks, love this super fun monochrome bag (there's more in this range) - Adelaide £55
 Stepping back in time: Ankle strap checked heels - Wieslaw £85
Oh I remember when Posh pitched a ball wearing wedge trainers/hi-tops. Aldo have come out on top with a truly amazing range for spring - from plain leather, suede mix to studded velcro styles, choosing just one pair will be hard I tell you. 
Totes Amazing!
Gorgeous bling is something else Aldo have done well, boasting multi chain statement necklaces to delicate gold chains with cute pendants. I love this necklace above but it wasn't in stock at the time - Bilecika £20 

Sigh, me wants it all to be honest!
Have a super weekend!

FABULOUS MONOCHROME FRIDAY'S: STRIKING STRIPES

I can't tell you how many Breton stripes or stripe tops I have because there are just.so.many. That's right, I love stripes, especially monochromatic pieces with dramatic pop.

Whether it's interiors or fashion, stripes never go out of fashion and even a dash of colour can make it all the more interesting.

As it's Friday, I'll leave you with some fabulous Friday monochrome magic.
Striped maxi dress - I still haven't found one that I really like, since the last one I fell in love with sold out in the states in a nanosecond.
 How about chevron stripes? They're super fun and add a lovely twist to the classic stripe.
A black and white striped Tee is the one basic holiday essential. Dress up with a pop of colour, with a statement necklace or keep it simple.
 Oscar De La Renta, I heart you forever and ever. Is this not the most gorgeous gown ever???
Stripe out with these high street pieces, from left-right:

I know some of you are tempted to cry out 'Beetle Juice' 3 x's, but don't do it ok?

Have a smashing weekend!

Contrast Tuxedo's: Mad for Monochrome

via FGR (Grazia Germany)

Am in love with all the jewel tones coming through for Autumn/winter, but right now all I can think about are chic, tuxedo's, specifically white tux jackets with a contrast lapel.
I can't imagine a tux ever going out of style, it's super slick & I just love the idea of making a tux look ultra feminine by teaming it with a stunning sparkly bodice as above.

Consumed by Monochrome


I hope you're all good blogger buddies! I'm afraid I'm at a loss for words for today's post... Actually, I have to seriously resist from opening my mouth today and letting a whole load of endless curses from spilling out. It seemed that whilst yesterday, the 3rd most important religious day in the Greek calendar, everyone had scooted off either to the villages or on holiday, thieving scoundrels happened to be lurking everywhere.

The apartment block basement, where I live got broken into, and also my mother-in-laws cake/pastry shop in another part of town too. All the money (meant for wages, bills & suppliers etc) got taken and not a cent left.
I guess it doesn't matter where you live, whether it's a good, safe area or not, not so nice things can happen, only it's about a billion times worse now since the recession kicked off.
Anyhoos, excuse my minor venting... Whilst i'm not in the mood for much colour today, I am feeling the love for monochrome. Enjoy!






Lastly, I know that...
