Boticca Wishlist

Recently discovering an online accessories site called Boticca, all I've been doing in my spare time is perusing through their categories. Ranging from statement necklaces, to dainty bangles to evening clutches, I seriously would love to own every single piece (of course, I would be broke until the end of my life if that happens).

Boticca is a boutique/marketplace, stocking pieces from emerging designers around the world. Their tagline 'I'd rather wear a unique story' sums up Boticca's purpose perfectly. To founders Kiyan Foroughi and Avid Larizadeh, jewellery is not so much ... jewellery anymore, it's a journey with a story. Therefore to the customer, since the design talent are not seen in mainstream stores, buying something from Boticca means you're owning a beautiful and unique hand made piece.

From today to July 28th, they are having a summer sale so I would recommend you checking out the site and maybe staying a while.

OUTFIT POST: Shades of Grey

 Bomber: c/o Paint It Red (shop HERE) ... Skirt: ASOS ... Top: Topshop

Belt: General Pants ... Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell 

Not fifty shades of grey, just two shades ... only two.

It has never occurred to me to combine tones of the most boring colour together. I always associated grey with moody weather, temporary depression or a sign you're getting old (although some people look smashing with grey hair). But on a non-gloomy afternoon, I thought it was a great idea to breathe new life into the poor, rejected being AKA 'grey'.

Many of you will be familiar with grey's distant cousin. The oh-so-popular queen bee who has ruled so many spring and summer wardrobes since the 1970's flower power ... the 'floral'. Now entering into this outfit in the form of a bright psychedelic magenta print, it was a match made in (for the lack of a better word) heaven. Seriously though, this bomber by Paint It Red is the rad-est mix of girly and sporty since the term 'sports luxe' was overused by everyone and their grandma.

Finally, I am not Angelina Jolie ... remember THIS?

OUTFIT POST: At Ease!

 Jacket: Vila ... Top: ASOS ... Skirt: c/o OASAP (shop HERE) ... Shoes: Sportsgirl
Bag: The Editor's Market ... Sunglasses: River Island
Necklace: River Island ... Collar tip: Topshop

My obsession with structured asymmetrical skirts begin here. Weather's getting colder and I'm really feeling the 90's grunge and military vibe this winter. Pairing colourblocked denim, camo and studs together ... I might look like some hardcore 17 year old but don't worry, I can't punch someone for my life.

But then again ... I've got conjunctivitis so I'm battling with my eyes right now. Sufficient excuse?

Speaking of problems, what does one do with two swollen eyes? Wear a pair of sunnies of course. These particular ones I received from River Island as part of their launch goodie bag tints the world a beautiful shade of vintage. The sky to me isn't the luscious blue you see above, but a hazy yellow. Or maybe I'm just seeing things ...
