Spring Wedge

When I saw these I just knew.

I have never been a fan of the thick, chunky wedge, but these are slim-line and tapered.

The come in white and yellow, and I admit it was a hard choice to make. All are totes gorge. But the brown will go with so much and I can’t wait to try them with a white pencil skirt

Yellow Spring

I fell in love with these pale yellow pumps from Nine West. My contribution to Spring.

I cannot wait to wear them with a blue and white polka dot dress….that I just saw at Karen Millen (new spring collection!!!)

Jeans – GStar. Top – Gap. Bag – Kate Spade.

Floral Pashmina

Every Monday should be accompanied by a flamboyant floral scarf. This has been clinically proven to brighten the spirits and positively influence people’s perceptions of you. Well, I can’t prove it but it feels right doesn’t it?

Lab Coat

Well, not exactly, but never wear this with white trousers or a stethoscope! I saw Angelina Jolie in a jacket similar to this a few years back and thus began a long search for a light-weight, belted, double-breasted, mid-thigh jacket (it’s all in the detail!) I knew it would be the perfect chilly day cover-up and never go out of style.

Almost one year into my quest, I found this beauty hanging in the window of a tiny boutique in a quaint seaside town up the west coast of South Africa! (we were looking for a seafood restaurant) I was with my mother at the time, who knew about my coat mission, and we both looked at each other and screeched ‘it’s the Angelina Jolie coat!’

I love a happy fashion ending 🙂
