HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!

I love Alex Monroe. He makes such beautiful intricate designs that reminds me of my grandmother's jewelry. Some pieces can be expensive but these you have to consider an investment because they are each handcrafted in London and will eventually become heirlooms. My new favourite piece are these earrings which remind me of the 50s, and can be found here.

I can't believe I found these! Stumbled upon them on the way to dinner last night and they probably cost me less than a quarter of the real price. Best part is they're 'made in Spain' and from my experience Spain is usually a year ahead with shoe trends... Fake or not.

Whenever I travel I try and find local designers. During my stay in Brazil it was like opening a treasure chest. The market in Buzios had some wonderful pieces that you can easily re-make at home. Like this little darling...

I always yearned for jelly shoes when I was a kid but when you got them they would always break after a short while. I saw a pair when I was out at the market the other day and they're sooo cheap I may need to get another color! Finding my inner child.

YSL eat your heart out. My brother has good taste. Another beautiful hat to add to the collection. I'm on a little bit of a craze it would seem. Merry Xmas to me (and all my readers).

Alright my lovelies, I'm leaving the winter cold for summer days. Have a wonderful break whatever you choose to do, hopefully with family and friends.
