More clutches!


So I was surfing around the net and I found some clutches that I thought I should share. I'm trying not to buy any more clutches or handbags at the moment since I looked at all my clothes and possessions I have here in the UK and I already think it's going to be impossible to get everything back to Canada when I move again.
Ah well, a girl can dream can't she?

Summer, summer, summer time! Time to sit back and unwind.

Lately, I've been loving all feminine silhouettes. Flowers and bright colours galore for summer!



However, I am really digging the abstract flower look as well from designers such as Erdem. I've always been a fan of bright colours. As a korean teacher said to me once, "wow michelle. You're really not afraid to wear bright colours all the time". Maybe she was just being polite and thought my colour palette was horrible but I don't dress to please other people. I dress the way I feel and to express myself. Or maybe I'm simply making up for the fact that all I wore in highschool was black and dark blue. If only I had loads of money right now I would buy up these dresses in a second.

I am really looking forward to seeing the Prada print collection in stores. Why? because they're an answer to my print obsession without being too short! I tried on this beautiful flowered dress the other day but it was just too short on me. That's why I'm loving the old school length and the full skirts. It's way sexier and more mature than short skirts in my opinion, which I'm sure we will see loads of in the summer time.

Last purchases before shopping hiatus









So don't mind that I'm completely out of shape but I've added some neutrals to my wardrobe. I LOVE this coat. My boyfriend's mom actually bought it for me which I can't believe. I mentioned how much I liked it while we were shopping and next thing I know she was just handing me a bag. I'm not sure if you can see it too well in the picture but it's a textured cotton and I love the piping.

I'm on the hunt for a nice wrap or v neck dress. Something simple that I can just throw on and that looks good for summer. Either in a bright colour or some sort of patterned dress. I did check out the DVF site after Aileen from PrettyCupcake talked about how she ordered a dress from there. I hadn't checked out DVF's stuff in quite some time and was pleased to see the summer dresses on there.

I really need to work on my legs though. I have HORRIBLE chubby stubby legs that just don't look good in dresses. But as I'm 25 now (and I've been living in England where people wear whatever they like without worrying about it) I'm sucking it up and I'm just going to wear what I want! Why can't chubby girls enjoy dresses too even if they have chubby knees?

Hopefully someone will just drag me to some yoga classes when I get back to Canada or I'll get back into swimming when I'm not working! haha
