Summer tops

I have suffered the first summer day dilemma- what do I wear? 

I always mean to plan ahead so that I do not get caught out, however my bank balance the past few months has not allowed me to invest in my "hot weather" summer wardrobe. Another reason for this is the weather: as I look out the window, I feel far from compelled to wear a sleeveless top but rather to hide under a long sleeved sweater (the sky is filled with clouds and there is most likely a cold breeze)


However, on the rarity that a hot day does occur these are my choices of blouses: (left to right)
1) Black Crane
2) Le Vestiare De Jeanne
3) Isabel Marant
4) APC

All of these blouses are relatively similar, they are boxy and high necked. They will still appear summery without leaving me too chilly and revealed.

Evening bags

Evening bags are my most loved- but hated bag. 
My choice in them is rather expensive, which makes my style quite unattainable to be worn on a night on the tiles- especially living in the UK. 
These are my 4 choices that I think are suitable for both an evening meal, or/and out "on the town".
The APC bag, I would wear in both situations as I think that it is quite understated, but would withstand a night out.
The jersey chanel, I adore. Firstly, the worry of scratching leather is abolished, and it also has a more laid back feel to it, however the price range it slightly high, but it being jersey would it get that damaged? Maybe this would be best for just a quiet evening...
The Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola clutch would be perfect for an evening meal, or a respectable cocktail party, the latter however does not occur in my lifestyle unfortunately. I would most certainly not wear this beauty of a bag clubbing, I would either drop it, leave it in a taxi or misplace it somewhere.
And lastly, the Céline Trio. I already own this bag in cream and it has been fabulous at withstanding the british town! It holds everything, keys, ID, money etc. However I am growing tired of the cream colour as I want a more subtle colour (I love black- it is failsafe)
I think that the winner would be the trio, however the Chanel is running very close!

Valentino pussy-bow shirt

In my previous post I posted a polyvore set including the pussy-bow valentino shirt, I just simply adore it! I love the  preppy, yet chic feel to it- the slit down the chest takes away the workwear feel it .

 I adore chic but cute clothing, and this seems to just be perfect, with the cute pussy bow tie!

Goodbye winter!

Isabel marant coat, tights and my chanel 2.55 have been my staple outerwear all winter- the coat has been amazingly warm!  I will be so sad when the warm weather arrives and my beloved coat will have to be hung up, my tights removed and begin the tanning process! However I have spotted a few summer items via apc- my new love! Skirts, dresses and wedges... Roll on summer! :)
