Totally Totême.

Posted on September 26, 2016 by byalicexo

The other day I found myself browsing through net-a-porter, seeing what new things they had in store, and adding my favourites to my wish list. It wasn’t until later when I was reviewing my updated wish list that I noticed something interesting: most of the new additions were from Swedish brand, Totême. Started in 2014 by couple Elin Kling and Karl Lindman, Totême, has gone from strength to strength being featured in publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and WSJ (Wall Street Journal’s magazine). Looking at their clothes, one of the main things I love about the brand is the easiness and simplicity of every piece, as well as the casualness and effortless chicness about the pieces (you guys know how I love my clothes simple and casual). I also love how everything could just as easily be paired with jeans and sneakers, or with a mini skirt and heels. Here are a few of my favourites from net-a-porter.

Jewels & Dresses.

Posted on January 20, 2016 by byalicexo

Oooh, two net-a-port posts in two days… can you tell I’m procrastinating? Just kidding I’m not, I’ve just hit a wall. Anyway, while I try to get over this mental block, I thought a little browse on net-a-porter would do the trick. Today’s picks are jewels and dresses (everything a girl needs in life) that can all be styled with these awesome platform Eytys sneakers. While I’m usually not a fan of the flatform sneaker, I’ve had my eyes on these particular ones for a few months now and I wish soooo badly that I could own them. To show my love for the sneaker (and to mix things up a bit) I’ll be featuring these sneakers in every Styling Suggestion, to bring a laid back and casual feel to my favourite pieces. I hope you like it.

This past week I’ve been thinking more and more about my autumn/winter, and I’ve been looking around for inspiration on what key pieces I should add. As expected, net-a-porter proved to be a great place for me to source ideas, so now I’ve convinced myself to spend the next few months in miniskirts (with tights of course) and sweaters – here’s hoping I keep it up. Check out my picks below.

Mule, Heel, Boot.

Posted on December 19, 2014 by byalicexo

As usual I’ve got a list as long as my arm, leg and foot (COMBINED) to do and I have no idea where to start. Do I paint my nails first? Or maybe start on another essay? Oh, how about that application I’ve been unintentionally putting off, and that the last date of submission is TODAY?! I just don’t know – see what I’m struggling with today? – And these are just the tip of the iceberg. Instead I guess I’ll start by sharing three of my favourite shoes I found on net-a-porter this morning. We have a mule, a crazy heel that I’d never usually consider, and a luxe pair of fringed boots that I need ASAP.

Knowing me I’ll probably end up staring into space for a good portion of the day before I actually kick myself into gear. Oh well, that’s just my life I guess… anyways, see what else is new here. Happy Friday.

Super Jules.

Posted on January 21, 2014 by byalicexo

What’s not to love about an all-black everything (well almost everything) outfit? Absolutely nothing! Jules from Sincerely, Jules, manages to rock the look like it’s going out of fashion and I am all over it. I love everything from the sweatshirt, to the cropped trousers, the stunner shades and of course the Céline. But out of everything I really do want those super cute pumps…

LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

Like a Lady.

Posted on January 13, 2014 by byalicexo

Most days I dress like a slob. But on those off days when I feel like putting an extra bit of effort into my public appearance and personal presentation, it never hurts to look to pieces like the ones below for inspiration. Ladylike dressing doesn’t just mean perfectly hemmed dressed six inch stilettos (though arguably that’s part of it); it means something so much more – it means bringing that extra bit of glamour and simplicity (think Olivia Palermo or Blair Eadie especially in their dressed down looks), to each and every outfit.

Black, Lace, Leopard.

Posted on January 6, 2014 by byalicexo

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, so todays picks are somewhat sombre, laid back and calm – I mean you can’t get any more sombre, laid back and calm than black, lace, leopard print and a dash of cosy grey, can you?

Simple Pleasures.

Posted on November 20, 2013 by byalicexo

Today’s picks are so simple yet manage to arouse a happiness and joy from deep (deep, DEEP) in my heart. You’ll probably also notice that the styling is such as simple as the pieces I’ve chosen. We start with Stella (who I’ll now deem the queen of sweaters, especially of the oversized variety) and her metallic sweater that makes me crave cold winters just so that I can cosy up inside one of these babies, and sit by the fire. Mr Louboutin does not disappoint with his spikey heeled ‘Kate’ pump that is the most beautiful shoe I’ve seen all week. Nothing warms my heart like a diamond or two… (I mean this blog is called DIAMONDS and pebbles – emphasis on the diamonds) and Ileana rounds off the pack with this simple thread ring that I need to own ASAP!
