Keeping up with the tartan craze!

1

I don't think any fashionista is missing out on this trend right now and I'm definitely loving it!

For those who dare, mix and match different plaid and tartan colors & textures (picture 5) and for those who want to be in style but don't dare the total look, just add a touch of patterns to your daily outfit. I like the total tartan & plaid look, you can see my inspiration board in picture 2.

What are your favorite ways to wear tartan this season?

A gift for the fashionable one

*For the fashionista who just can't wait for the Marni for H&M collection - Marni necklace*

Ingredients for a perfect Christmas online retail therapy session:

- Your computer/ iPad

- Click on your favorite online shopping site (mine is net a porter)

- Prepare a glass of warm mulled wine accompanied by some homemade    

  gingerman cookies

- Shop your Christmas gift list ;)

Here are some rules that I follow when buying a present:

- If buying something for the persons home, make sure you know their taste so the style of present matches with their interior decor

- I never buy perfumes as gifts as I think these are too personal unless I know exactly the one they want or the kind of scent they like

- Buy fashionable items for the fashionable person, if the person knows nothing about fashion and trends he/she will be happier with something more to their taste

- When buying a book know the persons taste, If he/she is interested in politics and history I won't buy them Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic collection ;)

These are pretty much common sense... now back to the fashionable gift guide inspirations!!!

Valentino studs

*ADR - frontrowview.com*

Valentino's signature of the year: studs. 

I have to be honest with you by saying that the pointy studded kitten-heel shoes were not exactly my cuppa when I first saw them, but with time they have become a must piece in anyones wardrobe together with all the other Valentino studded accessories.

Personally I would go for the higher heel as I still can't get used to the idea of wearing kitten heels!

Do you like the studded trend? Do you wear kitten heels?
