the belle lumiere

When the dog bites, when the bee stings…. Ha. Good luck getting that out of your head now! I put the call out on Twitter a few days ago for people to help me with some inspiration for future blog posts. My Swedish Gal-Pal and resident Daim supplier Andrea suggested that I include more photos in my blog. She also suggested a peek inside my wardrobe and some information on a few of my “favourite pieces”. So I figured I would combine the two ideas and VOILA! Pictures AND a few of my favourite things from my wardrobe for the upcoming Autumn/Winter season. Let’s go.

First picture: These are the Chanel shoes I mentioned in my post about my Autumn/Winter wardrobe. I would love to wear them all year round but they are a) a winter-esque shoe and b) impossible to walk in for extended periods of time. They are what I like to call my “cold weather dinner shoe”

Second picture: A few of my favourite accessories for the upcoming season. The clutch is vintage (read: stolen from my grandmother), covered in an authentic peacock feather (that is looking a little worse for wear after living through my early 20′s when I didn’t realise how beautiful and unique it was and I took it clubbing with me. the horror.) and never fails to draw compliments. I love it. I hope that now I realise how amazing it is and treat it with love and tenderness that I can get a good run out of it in the future before it falls to pieces. The ring is House of Harlow and a recent purchase. Again, it’s a peacock. Sensing a theme? I love peacocks. Send me anything you own and do not want that is peacock related and it will go to a good home, I promise. Mr B asked me why I was wearing a ferris wheel on my finger, but the bartender at the pub that we went to for dinner on Sunday night complimented me on it. Obviously Mr B has no idea what he is talking about. Moving on. The bangle is jade and was given to me by my best friend who purchased it on a recent trip to China. It’s pretty and has bits of pink in it. Yes, I am down with fashion-speak.

Third picture: A dog that knows no boundaries. Within 15 minutes of me arriving home from work and letting the dogs inside, Mr Beagle had made his way into the bedroom, nested around in the blankets for a while and managed to move them out of the way so that he had a comfy space to take an afternoon nap. Oh, the life of a beagle.

Fourth picture: My new shiny HP all in one touch screen computer. And to the side a little are the new goodies I received from Adore Beauty on my arrival home from work. I cannot wait to try out the Moroccanoil. It smells delicious.

Have a great weekend all!
