Oh polka dots! Such fun and bounce, reminiscence of the 1950s retro era.

Back From Bali

Belated Christmas blessings everyone, and Happy Boxing Day! 

Here's me signing in after a 3-week long holiday in beautiful Bali. Right now I'm feeling re-charged and inspired to take over the world, figuratively at least :-)

Anyways, hope you had a lovely break too!

Beautiful beaches and people, so many things to do, great company and tons of fun.

The trip was simply unforgettable with countless treasured memories, many of which were thankfully captured in good light.

Plaid, Tartan & Checks

My academic days may be over, but not the zeal for plaid, tartan, and checks. Join the ivy league with 5 handbags that exudes the feel of those crisp days.

Jas M.B. Large Backpack: Channel your inner Catholic schoolgirl vibe with this ultra-preppy backpack. Rough it up with moto boots or a leather mini.

Fendi Daisy Clutch: Plaid gets the royal treatment as the Daisy gets a chic upgrade. Somehow this mix of studs, mink, snakeskin, and patent leather works together in perfect plaid harmony.

Vivienne Westwood Top Handle Bag: It doesn’t get more classically British than plaid Westwood. This bowler gets an enticing upgrade in an unlikely sunset-inspired palette.

Christian Louboutin Shoulder Bag: Sometimes the Sweet Charity works better than others, and tartan plaid suits the style so well. Especially amped up with bright gold detailing.

Marni Hobo Bag: We usually think of plaid as hard, pleated, or structured, but I’ll take mine with a little bit of slouch for a modern spin.

Have a super Wednesday folks! I'll be away for a holiday break and will be right back before Christmas. Cheers :-)

Land of The Dragon - A Travel Tale

I seek a timeless place sealed with beauty and secrecy....

Where mountains bow, the wind sings a melancholy note...

In the quiet of the night, the temples shine...

For behind them, the holy dragons hide...

For the past week, I left behind all luxuries and modern comforts in search of nature and its beauty in China. I found them in Anhui province and saw some of the most beautiful places.

Life is best at its purest.

Wearing Leopard Print

Too much of a good thing is no good. Even the most style-savvy among us might fall into the trap of wearing too much of a same print. For today's post, I give my take on 5 ways to wear leopard print. Which is your favourite look?

These prints make for a perfect toned-town look; add boots and a chunky sweater into the mix for a no-fail weekend ensemble.

Get the look: Republic shorts | Topshop jumper | Debenhams boots | Michael Kors shoulder bag | 1928 pendant

Leopard pants act as a neutral, this means they’ll look great with any solid colored top you might have.

Get the look: J Brand denim | Visiona tunic | Havana bag | Carvela heels

Even if you’re donning them as accents, try not to wear your leopard pieces with other animal prints; your look can become a bit too costume-esque.

Get the look: THVM jeans | Paul's Boutique tee-shirt | Black.co.uk scarf | Treesje bag | Topshop boots 

Select one animal print piece as your foundation, then style it with neutral-tone sandals and tuck it into denim mini. Hello, summer style!

Get the look: Seven For All Mankind skirt | Jane Norman top | Guess sandals | Aldo Rutgers clutch | Burberry watch

Less is more, plain and simple.

Get the look: Dip Hem dress | Made Well flats | Balenciaga bag | Pieces Giebe studs

Happy Wednesday :-)
