    Yellow - Lela Rose dress
    Lela Rose
    embellished woven silk-organza dress
    £1,410 from Net-A-Porter

    Catching up on the red carpet looks from the Emmy I spotted a trend forming. It wasn’t that hard to spot, but celebs such as Julianne Moore, Claire Danes, Leslie Mann seemed to be holding onto the last of the Summer sunshine in bright yellow gowns. As happy I am ringing in a new Autumnal season it was a refreshing sight to see some bravery in these ladies colour choices. 
    Inspired by the bright hue, whilst browsing Net-A-Porter, I found this lovely Lela Rose. Not only is it bright enough to embed some much needed Vitamin D in my system but I love the diamante neckline.

  • Wishlist Item[s]…Let The Games Begin!

    Gold Rings [£43.21 from Etsy]
    Silver Necklace [17.02 from Etsy]
    Bronze Earrings [£5.24 from Etsy]

    So the games begin (or have already begun depending on what sports you’re personally watching] tonight at the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games. With most people focusing on the actual fashion trends I thought I’d take some inspiration from the medals the athletes are pining after. After browsing Etsy for a while I’ve settled on these three pieces. All three are a bit different and I’ve tried to keep in the spirit of the games with the ‘hoop’ theme. 
    So I’m pretty pumped to watch the opening ceremony tonight and hoping Team GB & my ethnic country, the Philippines, can bring home some medals this year!
    What about you guys? Excited about the games? Or excited to get them over and done with?

    Keep on wishing…

    After a weekend of watching the goings on at San Diego Comic Con from my computer screen and getting pretty obsessed with the new The Amazing Spiderman film, the lure of the nerdy comic book world has definitely seeped onto my fashion blog. I completely fell for Karen Gillan’s 3.1 Philip Lim jumper that she wore for the Dr Who panel. I knew as soon as I saw it I had to go on the search for more. I love ‘The Break Up’ design too and have actually owned a similar t-shirt in the past. Both of these are wonderfully quirky and perfect for slouching around…reading comic books of course! 

    Keep on wishing…
