Not sure how long this trend has been around but I keep seeing arm cuffs lately and they look very chic. I'm not talking about elaborate ones that look like they'll get caught on everything, there seems to be a move towards sleek designs that look elegant and timeless. Found a few images of ones that I love.

With the changing seasons, comes time to pack away the heavy coats and chunky scarves...time for some floral and lighter knits. Just a few street style pictures that are inspiring my spring look.

Bit of a chilly weekend coming up. Take time to appreciate the little things, close up. I found this image of a frozen bubble very beautiful.

One French woman who has been a style icon for decades (and is still copied by new generations coming through) is Brigitte Bardot.

We all have our favorite things in life and I've decided to do a few posts on some of mine.
I've always been a huge film fan, I'll pretty much watch anything except Rom-Coms...just no, I can't.
My favorites are Scifi, thrillers, crime dramas and those cheesy true life/ inspiring movies, which I think most people secretly love.

A great winter coat is worth its weight in gold! It pulls an outfit together and offers protection from the elements. My coat is bright red (wallflower?!? I think not) and nips in at the waist with a large collar that can be worn open or buttoned up into a roll collar. I always feel damn awesome in it. Here are a few that make me happy for winter.

Scarves (along with stockings) are my autumn and winter weakness. I'm not overly keen on necklaces in winter unless its a smart or formal gathering , instead I always seem to reach for a cosy scarf. Mind you, I do love them in spring as well ;) They just seem to finish off an outfit and take it to the next level.
Here are some of my current favourites:

We are often very visual creatures and a well crafted painting/ drawing/ piece of art can move us. While I wait for my exams to start arriving, I kill time with some images that I love.

Warm and Cuddly
With the weather getting cooler, especially at night, the first thing I do when I get home is have a warm bath and climb into my winter pj's. I know I'm not alone here.
Here are some cute pj's for the coming winter.

Beds on the Floor
I'm in the process of redecorating and want to move into my spare room and make my current bedroom the room for visiting family and friends. So far I have painted the walls (what a pain!!!) and bought curtains, some picture frames and a bookcase. Now I need to buy another bed and this is where I am looking to stray from the norm just a little.

Garance Dore
Garance is a French photographer, illustrator and author who has a very successful blog http://www.garancedore.fr/en/
I seem to very drawn to a neutral, minimalist, timeless and at times masculine look. The style of Garance fits into this very well.
Stripes and a poncho! Love this look.

Currently loving...sneakers
I used to have a serious love for high heels and wore them 4 days out of the week. In the last two years, my preferred foot wear has swung 180 degrees in another direction. Now I'm all about the sneaker. Not boring ones but embellished and unusual ones that make a simple outfit look great.

Pretty things that are on my mind...
I've discovered a beautiful collection of clothes that seem made for me. Loose, soft and comfortable but smart enough for me to use in my workplace.. Designed by Emma Londgen, each piece is simple but still sophisticated. I also really like the idea that everything is manufactured in Cape Town.

Life Long commitment
Tattoos are the ultimate sign of independence and rebellion, at least in my mind. I've played with the idea of a tattoo for ages and although I don't have any yet, I think I will in the future. Here are some stunning images of delicate and feminine tattoos.

The Truth is Out There
X-files returns! I love X-files and the adventures of Mulder and Scully, so much that I re-watch all 9 seasons every 3 months or so. Now that Vanity Fair has confirmed six new episodes, all fan-girls and boys can rejoice. X-files is cool again and being exposed to a new and young audience.
