It is the fashion and frank faux fur again, i have decided that faux fur is surprisingly warm, surprisingly bulky (why this is so surprising i am not really sure), looks surprisingly real and finally surprisingly so very soft - thats my random musing on faux fur....
I need Mr - all this self portraiture is a) boring b) i miss Frank c) i cut my shoes out and that really is no good at all. This of course brings me to my new shoes, me, Tabitha at bourbon and pearls and Giovanna Battaglia are shoe sisters - yep - we have all indulged in Valentino's gorgeous rockstud kitten heel pieces of fabulousness - and their surprising fact - they are sooooo comfortable and surprisingly versatile so there you go 2 surprising facts! And now fab fact (for me) i got them half price in the Net a P sale preview - well worth a looky i think they made the main sale too.
Have a very good weekend xx
How cute is the bum bag - as it is reversed is it now a tum bag???
Damn the reeds but you can just about make out the shoes below
Fashion and Frank faux fur, Fashion and Frank cashmere trsrs, Valentino rockstud shoes, Christian Louboutin bum/tum bag, Zara cashmere crewneck, Miu Miu Sunnies (why - it was windy - they do after all protect the eye ... )
Oh the feathery ones, they are gorgeous! I wish all of my shoes were that comfy, I'm so tired of wobbling in my other heels.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cold here that I've barely been out from under my parka, I've gone to wrack and ruin.
Hello Darling!You look so chic and amazing. I adore your CL bum/tum bag.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Christmas, and wishing you all the best for the new year. Hope that all of your wishes come true!
♥

oh your shoes are just divine and the miu miu sunnies don´t need sunshine to look absolutely fabulous;)
ReplyDeletelove and kiss,mary
Oh lovely! I wish I would've known they were going on sale! I've been eyeing them for a while now!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean - i am getting bored of cant walk shoes - i think i may be embracing the era of the to be walked in shoe - god i am getting old!! x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ra you too x
thanks Mary lou x
I was eyeing them for yonks too and they are really fab Lindsay x
Love the shoes, but even more love the bag... I think I'd want to stroke it all the time... It's like a little pet. :)
ReplyDeletexxx
It is fab isnt it and a handy belt too - love those multi tasking fashion pieces - so very clever ... x
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are to die for!!!! And you are gorgeous to boot. Just came across your blog and I am loving it.

You've reawakened the serious show lust I have for those. Comfortable? And half-price? Oh, my little spiky heart is breaking! Love the faux fur too. I'm warming up to it, much better than the stuff back in the day that looked like unwashed Muppets...
ReplyDeleteI know and i think they may well be a perennial and i so know what you mean about the faux - it is a different thing to behold - seriously difficult to tell the difference and it is all in the difference for me x
ReplyDeleteAmazing sunnies! You look so chic :)
ReplyDeleteyou look absolutely stunning in these photos! and no need to comment your shoes; they've been on my wishlist forever :)

Thanks Dvora much appreciated i am so glad i eventually got them - the comfort alone x
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria x
You're right about the faux fur being surprisingly warm. I felt like I was being roasted alike in my faux fur gilet. I tried wearing a real rabbit fur jacket and could not stop sneezing. So I guess it's fake all the way :P These Valentinos are definitely statement pieces. Looks amazing! Now, most importantly - your hair. It always look so shiny and glossy in the photos. What do you use?
ReplyDeleteYes, just have to get those reeds out the way to see the gorgeous shoes... Arrr! (splash)
ReplyDeleteThe coat is gorgeous...love it!!

CC&AC - i stay away from chemicals - simply use organic Faith in Nature shampoo and conditioner - the water is well fed too and i think that makes a big difference - thanks for the comment x
