MUST... HAVE... NOW... (part II)

So many pretty things, so little time, so little space and so little cash *sigh*! A few days ago I posted a few of the things that I'm drooling over. Today, I'll be posting more of my drool-worthy items. But now I'm going to sort of categorize them! At least in this post, so the theme of today's post: CAMEL. Why? Besides the fact that it's THE colour of the season, the items I found in this colour are just God damn fabulous. You'll see...

Aren't they so purrty? You can dress 'em up or down. Perfect for going out for coffee with friends in flats, a denim jacket and a cute tee or pairing it with a pair of heels, a nice shirt and gold accessories! I heart the Kors.

Leather is still on, and people are mainly focused on leather dresses and leather pants or skirts. Haven't been seeing many leather tops, well.. ones that I would actually like at least, like this one. Maje, I congratulate you for making leather tops so chic. I can just picture this with a nice A-line skirt and pumps.

Now this is divine. Definitely my favourite. Ahh Chloe, no one does camel better than you. If only I can wear this and get away with it! I think I just fractured my heart!

No wardrobe is complete without a trench! It's a must-have, and you cn never go wrong with a camel Burberry trench.

Well, the fashion industry seems to still be big on leather, and why not have a pair of camel leather leggings? No the tracksuit is a different case. You don't have to pick one. (that's the fashion-obsessed me arguing with money-conscious me! I hate it when we fight..)

Yes another pair of pants.. sorta.. These Sandro poetique slouch pants are perfect for a smart look. I can already see the colours of brown, white, camel beige together in a beautiful ensemble canvas. Yes I'm getting all poetic. Go figure!

And finally, ending my post with the perfect Michael Kors boots. Well you can't really wear them when it's rainy, or muddy, because they'll get dirty pretty quickly. But look at them. Aren't you already picturing them with a few things from your wardrobe??

On that note I will leave you with a song I discovered a couple of nights ago while I was out with my friends.

ta-ta for now,
Bambi

MUST... HAVE... NOW

Hello Monday,

Actually no, not hello! I hate Mondays! I hate everything that has to do with Mondays! Especially after a 4-day holiday! I weep! Weep I tell ya! But I gotta say, my weekend was pretty darn good. It was missing a certain someone, but what to do, right? I had a great time with the Bahrain/London/Saudi/Kuwaiti crew (sorry guys, didn't know how to categorize your international a**es), excited about a certain PFFer who will be getting in today, and some quality time with the bffs from high school! It's gonna be a long week that's all I can say. One thing's for sure though, I am definitely getting old, this whole partying till the wee hours of the morning, just doesn't do it for me anymore (actually I just can't handle it) *sigh* !

Anyway, I'm going to kick start this dreadful Monday with a few must-haves for the season (not because they really are must-haves, I just really MUST HAVE them). I'll do it in a series of posts because they're too many. I'm starting with the following items:

Still obsessed with with Mulberry's Oversized Alexa leather bag but this time in black.

I normally hate, and I mean HATE pointy shoes, but when it's Lanvin you make an exception. And when they look like these you melt and you buy. They're perfect.

What's a new wardrobe without wedges? And from experience I say wedges can't get any more comfortable than Michael Kors. And these suede ones are beautiful.

I know! I know! My obsessions are mainly shoes, but can you blame me? Look at these Marc by Marc Jacobs two-tone leather loafers. I mean really! How can you not drool? I think, loafers are the new brogues for this A/W!

Ahhhh Stella! The things you do to me with your fabulous designs! I'm very much a blazer person, especially over-sized and this hits the spot! The cut, the colour, the simplicity! Divine!

And finally, this cute Mademoiselle scarf from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Isn't it adorable?

To wrap it up, I will leave you with another new obsession of mine. Enjoy!

Later!
