Concrete Jungle • Beginning Boutique's November Look Book
Hi everyone!
I was sent this look book by Beginning Boutique, an Australian based online store that offers both local (Australian) and international street labels to customers from all over the world.
''Beginning Boutique is your one stop shop for all things street wear!'' - The Style Net
This month, their photographer travelled to NYC and shot this look book, which they titled 'Concrete Jungle'. Emulating fashion week street style with slight hints of masculinity, the styling is young and edgy. As can be seen from the look book photos, this collection consists of sequins, leather, and floral pieces, among others..bang on current trends! The accessories and jewellery pieces that are seen in this look book are also available from the Beginning Boutique website. I am in love with this look book. The clothes, the photos, the settings, the styling.. everything!
The fabulous people at Beginning Boutique are kindly offering you lovely readers a special 10% discount
by using the code BLOGGER in the coupon code field at checkout.

A/W '12 Must Haves
Hi everyone!
With more than half of Autumn almost over, I decided to dedicate today's post to Autumn/Winter must have pieces.
Military Jacket/Parka
With the military trend so in, a camouflage military jacket or an army green parka are a must have item in my A/W wardrobe. I love the fact that these jackets can have a manly or feminine feel to them according to certain small details. I personally like men-inspired vintage camouflage military jackets. However, if you prefer more feminine clothes, a peplum military jacket or a parka with leather sleeves will do the trick for you.
Chunky Necklaces
The chunky necklace trend has been spotted everywhere - on the runways, on TV shows... - and I am in love with it, simply because it can make an outfit stand out due to its statement nature. It can be worn with a buttoned shirt, with a plain t-shirt, and even with a going out dress to transform an otherwise boring outfit. The only thing that one has to keep in mind is to keep the rest of the outfit simple, and let the necklace do the talking.
Hats/Beanies
Hats and beanies are a great way to dress down an outfit in my opinion, and they can cover up our bad hair days. Super! They tend to be quite masculine, though, so one has to make sure that the rest of the outfit is not so manly.
Leather Jacket
Leather is another prominent trend this season, but my must have piece is definitely a leather jacket. What's there not to love about a leather jacket? Even if a black leather jacket is quite boring for your tastes, there are always other styles, such as studded leather jackets, fringed leather jackets, or even peplum leather jackets.
Tartan Scarves
A scarf is a must have piece in these cold months of the year. So why not do it the fashionable way? Tartan scarves complete and brighten up a simple outfit. Everyone seems to be wearing them, so I guess it is a loved trend. I know I love tartan prints!
Chelsea Boots
Chelsea boots. Who doesn't love chelsea boots? What is mostly exciting is that designers have designed these shoes in a wide array of styles - from heeled chelsea boots, to wellies, to leather chelsea boots - so rest assured that everyone will find a favourite style. Bang on trend while keeping your feet warm - sold!
Oxblood Pants
Oxblood has been the hottest colour of this season, and it looks great on all skin tones. I prefer to wear trousers in autumn and winter rather than skirts, so an oxblood pants is a must have item. Oxblood pants can be dressed up or down to suit different occasions. However, if you want to be super stylish, choose a leather oxblood pants.
Which are your A/W must have items?

Designer vs Deal #3
Hi everyone!
I had massive positive feedback on my previous Designer vs Deal posts (#1) and (#2), so I decided that I would blog more often on my deal finds. The items in this post are those pieces that are very popular in the blogosphere right now. Even though everybody loves designer pieces, their price can be quite a big shock to our credit cards. While browsing fashion websites for shopping, I came across these deal products which made me look twice at them. Firstly, because they are nearly identical to the designer pieces, and secondly, due to the fact that their price is not designer at all. So what's there not to like about them?
Designer Stella McCartney Falabella Tote Bag / Givenchy Dog Print Tshirt / Americal Apparel Disco Pants / ZARA Plaited Shopper
Deal Glamorous Leather Look Pyramid Chain Handbag / Dog Rottweiler Face Tshirt / Glamorous Disco Pants / Ever Ours Brown Tote Bag
What do you think about these pieces? Would you purchase a dupe of a designer item to spend less? Or would you rather spend more on the real designer piece?

Store Spotlight • Cherry Baby Jewellery
Hi everyone!
A while ago, I was invited to
review some jewellery by Cherry Baby, a UK based online accessories boutique
inspired by all things pretty, fun and fresh. And how could I ever say no to pretty jewellery? Their collections consist of unique accessories which are perfect
to get the celebrity inspired look at very affordable prices (starting from
just £2). A good number of the pieces found at Cherry Baby are handmade using
recycled and vintage materials, but they also do custom-made and limited
edition items.
The A/W 2012 collections - namely
Pop Art, Retro, Wonderland, Have a little Faith, and Vintage Lover - have now
launched on the Cherry Baby website, and include rings, earrings, bracelets,
necklaces, brooches, pendants, hair accessories, compact mirrors and sunglasses,
all with super cute charms and Cherry Baby’s signature bright colours and
images. We should also expect to see more pieces inspired by the 80s, My
Little Pony, Care Bears, She Ra! and so much more. How exciting is that? I’m
especially looking forward to the My Little Pony and Care Bears collections,
which remind me of my childhood days!
I was given the opportunity to choose my favourite item from their
website, and I immediately fell for the Cat Chase necklace (for obvious cat
obsession reasons :)). Together with the necklace, the lovely people at Cherry Baby sent me a surprise item – the Birds Nest ring. Unfortunately, the ring is a bit too small for my chubby fingers as
it is not adjustable. However, I will surely put good use to it, maybe I'll wear it as a pendant. I’ll see where my creativity takes me. Both pieces are really pretty,
and not something one would find in each and every store. I am mostly looking forward to wear the cat necklace. I love the contrasting colours of its charms.
Cat Chase necklace* (£8.00)
Birds Nest ring* (£4.00)
Some of my other favourite pieces from Cherry Baby are the following:
I hope you love these jewellery as much as I do. Will you be purchasing anything from Cherry Baby?

of earrings on all orders over £10.
This offer is valid till December 30th 2012
