Black lace shawl




I know I said I did not want any more scarves, wraps and throws from online but I am really liking this one. It would look lovely over a teal, or fuchsia silk cami. It's really zesty. A black lace scarf can go with so many looks. Think I might spring for this after all.

Green flowers



Vintage St. Michael's blouse with green and white floral pattern. I love this blouse. It's lightweight and great for now. Looks cool with jeans and heels.

Gotta have my Franco Sartos





Franco Sarto is one of my favourite brands of shoes. Normally I don't have a fav when it comes to accessories I just pretty much go with what looks good but never choose a specific designer to buy. Franco Sarto's are comfortable be it flats or heels. I love this black pair that I got at Bloomingdale's last year. I have a few more pairs some where. I also like shoes by Nine West and Bandolino.

Another hot pink feathered band




Headpieces you gotta love'em.
I didn't intend to buy another hot pink headpiece but this one is too cute and was at a steal considering some that you see online are quite pricey and especially the ones around London shops. This one came from TK Maxx so it wasn't too bad. They are quite simple little pieces. I love the sprouting feathers; very unusual.

Swarovski Crystal Sun Satin Earrings



These earrings are so gorgeous. I bought them at a Swarovski Crystal store in Houston last year. They're like lovely little pieces of ice for the ear. Swarovski does great crystal work. I love the walls of their stores in Vienna--loads of crystals adorning the entrance.

Corsages and roses



I think another thing I have become keen to since moving to England are roses. Well I have always liked them but they were never a big thing. Pink roses are great but the ones outside my window are large red ones that have been growing there for a few decades.
Hmmm now that I am on it I wonder if there is a large English rose centre anywhere in England.



Corsages are now a favourite accessory of mine. I guess since the craze was so big on Sex and the City when Carrie Bradshaw wore huge ones the trend has really taken off and the bigger the better. I found this one a few months ago at Debenhams. At first I wasn't sure of what I would wear it with but they can go with so much. I decided to add this one to a simple button down white cotton shirt and an ombre teal swing skirt. I have another one similar in hot pink with small feathers.
