Italy!

Last weekend I visited Italy for the first time to attend my cousins wedding in Arezzo, Tuscany. It was beautiful but far too short as we only stayed for three days. I can't wait to return and for a much a longer visit next time.

The ceremony and reception were held in a small church high up in the mountains surrounded by luscious greenery and a gorgeous blue sky. We were very lucky as the next day was marred by showers and storms.

Florence is such a pretty city even though we only spent two hours there as it was an hour there and back and we had to return for a family dinner. Delicious pizza and gelato, diets and healthy eating are forgotten about here!

Here are a few snaps of the day, I wore a blush pink Rachel Gilbert dress and   

hot pink suede Louboutin shoes.... I loved the combination and hope another occasion will crop up soon so it has another outing!

Christmas Wishlist

This wish list could be described as terribly decadent and extravagant but as it is a wish list I think that this description is acceptable and dare I say even suitable. To even have one of the featured items (Mulberry, need I say any more) would be amazing but there is always next year!!

I have been lusting after the Mulberry Willow since it featured in the Spring Summer '13 catwalk shows in London and Paris. It's pretty wow and practical too for the front of the bag can be removed to be used as a stand alone clutch. Hey presto, two bags for the prices of one! Does that justify the exorbitant price of over a thousand euro? Maybe not but I would definitely do my best to argue the point.

This bag is gorgeous regardless of the colour but the black does look pretty fabulous as demonstrated by Ms Moss below. The lucky lady was one of the first celebs to get the Willow, only days after it made its debut on the catwalk.

Some might be forgiven for thinking the Barbour jacket would be more at home on a farm paired with wellingtons than a capsule fashion piece.However it has proved its worth and versatility, teamed with skinnies and a printed scarf for chilly days or with your trusted denim shorts for a festival it really is an essential. From Princess Diana to Alexa Chung variations of the Barbour have been spotted on many the celebrity. The Beadnell jacket pictured here will last you season after season ensuring value for money.

Christmas brings parties and every girl wants to be the belle of the ball, this red number from Rachel Gilber is a show stopper and if you have a special event to attend over the festive season you are guaranteed to turn heads in this gown. WANT WANT WANT.

I'm a sucker for arm candy and am practically ashamed to admit how many watches I own, in my defence I accumulated them over a number of years and some aren't in fashion any more which means there is always room for more like this beautiful diamond encrusted mother of pearl Rolex. Pretty fabulous.

As mentioned at the start of the post this is a wishlist and a girl can but dream... I might do a more realistic post later on of Christmas purchases I can actually afford!
