Thank You McQueen

It is a relief to know that Alexander McQueen the brand will remain, because he started a legacy that he will always be remembered for. For instance, skulls are always attributed to McQueen and will rightly remain so. Now let's talk about my love for this clutch. Two words: Skulls and Studs. Enough said! I can't seem to shake my skull obsession off. I literally collected everything Mr. McQueen stamped his skulls on. The ring, the scarf, ...etc

Styling with N: The Ultimate Summer vacation guide part 2: City Break Daytime

As much as i adore the beach, i call myself a city girl. Recently street style fashion has been gaining loads of importance, conveying the fashionable vibe on the streets of big citites such as Paris, London, Milan,...etc We all love daytime strolls in the city, sipping lattes and eating pastries, shopping and discovering gems. Here is a styling session dedicated to daytime city style.

• 
  
  There is a sort of freedom in this look that resembles the city style vibe and trend going around now, This look is my style aesthetic in daily life, boho meets rocker chic. It's summer layering done in easy fabrics of silks and jerseys.
• 
  
  To start with, the main point is the demin shorts and a white tank, which is like a canvas that you can create so many looks with.
• 
  
  I threw on a long silk cardigan , which seems to be my uniform for this season! I adore Winter Kate and Kite & Butterfly, they have so many versatile and gorgeous pieces, and you should stock up on them this season and wear them forever, you can find the variety at Blush Boutique
• 
  
  To me any look is not complete without jewelry, I like piling mine and i love statement pieces. The necklaces shown above can be worn with anything and they give this tough chic look to any outfit. I also love statement bold rings. I actually collect them! This one shown above by Pamela Love is a gorgeous one and definately a hot buy.
• 
  
  For heels, I paired these purple Louboutins, which give a pop of unexpected yet contrasting colour with the look. They make the outfit more fashion forward and spot on!
• 
  
  Now for the handbag situation, I wanted something with a downtown cool vibe mixed with a vintage like appeal and of course the perfect fit was the PS1 which has taken the fahsion scene by storm! It pulls the outfit together in such a cool way.
• 
  
  Sunglasses go without saying when we say Daytime style, it adds allure and mystery. I think they can make a first impression of the outfit, giving it the final vibe you want to go for. This Alexander Wang zipper detailed one is what i was going for ; an edgy look on a classic shape. The zipper details give it a rock chic air.
• 
  
  Last but not least , my beauty note here would be smoky eyes or defined eyes with nude lips and a bit of bronzer. One of the best eyeliners around , this Bobby Brown cream gel is long lasting, and you apply it with a brush so its less messy for people who don't have steady hands. You can create gorgeous smoky strokes with it.

Wishlist: What's in Common between me and SJP?

The obsession with these Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes !!

I am obsessing over these Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, they are in the designer's staple architectural shape with a gorgeous spray paint effect , and it seems i am not the only; Sarah Jessica Parker loves them so much she has been spotted wearing them on several occasions.

Pairing them with a blazer and skirt for daytime chic!

Paired with a black lace cocktail dress, they give it a pop of colour and edginess

With Jeans and a leather Jacket, so downtown cool. And Apparently very comfortable too as she wears them for travelling. I am even more in love now (sighs!)

Styling with N: The Ultimate Summer Vacation Guide part 1: Poolside Glamour

Vacations at last, we are all certainly enjoying ours, whether its a city vacation or a beach vacation, i have put together a list of the must haves! From beauty products right down to the heels. This is your ultimate fashion guide to a stylish getaway! The first look is Poolside glamour, whether lounging by the pool in st. Tropez or hitting up a beach party in Ibiza this look has Glam written all over!

Sunglasses: Linda Farrow Luxe

Hat: Eugenia Kim

Bangle: Alexis Bittar

Nail Polish: Chanel 'Riviera' Summer 2010 collection

Bag: Fendi Straw totw

Kaftan: Missoni available at Net-a-Porter

Sandals: Musa available atNet-a-Porter

Necklace: Stephen Dweck available at SAKS FifthAvenue

• If there was one ultimate summer essential , it would have to be a Kaftan, you can dress it in so many ways on your vacation. As a cover up, with sandals for a beach party. It could also be transitioned into night by adding some heels and accessories! This Missoni Kaftan is a statement, a signature pattern of the brand. The bows on the side are a gorgeous update on the classic Missoni versions. Very youthful.
• While i prefer flip flops when i go swimming, if you're having a Glam moment by the pool, where most of the time is spent in the shade sipping pina coladas ;) I prefer going up a notch with casual chic sandals like the one shown above from Musa. Comfortable yet chic.
• Accessories here are not only for style purposes, they also serve to shield your face from too much sun, this beach straw hat screams glamour and so does the oversized vintage-like shades shown.
• I would keep Jewelry simple, a statement necklace in a summery turqouise tone, i usually don't like Turqouise alone, so this necklace combines in with strands of golden for a cooler edgier look.
• A straw bag is also a must-own, you'll find it a go to in all of your vacations. This Fendi Version is my ultimate fav. The 1st runner ups are Emilio Pucci beach bags and Balenciaga straw bags with their signature golden hardware.
• Last but so not least, make sure you have perfectly pedicured and manicured nails. With this look i prefer a classic colour but with a twist. This colour by Chanel is the perfect striking pink!

Style Icon: Mary Kate

Mary Kate Olsen is seriously one of my style crushes, she is always unique and inspiring, in a league of her own when it comes to style, let alone that she has one of the most enviable wardrobes in the world. In that pic alone she is carrying two of the most covetable bags now- The PS1 is black python and Celine's Boston bag.(why she has to carry two bags is beyond me!)

Styling with N: Your Weekend look.

So for this weekend my theme was the flower, summer always puts me in a floral mood. Whether your going for dinner with the girls or a full on night out , this outfit will have people green with envy.

• This floral sequins top by Parker is simply divine, the details on it are striking and its a wardrobe staple for when you want to dress up your jeans. Get it at Blush Boutique
• You should keep the rest of the look simple as the top is already embellished, just add plain skinny jeans. My faves are Jbrand and Siwy. Also available at Blush Boutique
• I would suggest adding tough looking shoes to give it a bit of an edge, like these Givenchy ones here.
• Add a Muted colour clutch to complement the look and not overpower it, like this Fendi Clutch shown here.
• keep the Jewellry simple, a cuff or a watch is enough. Shown here is a Dannijo cuff. very edgy looking.
• Remember dressing up is fun so set the mood by lighting a scented candle.

Enjoy xoxo
