Hello Darlings,
"Long chunky scarves look really beautiful and I recommend Louis Vuitton and Burberry..... I prefer my scarves in plain colour blocks, but colorful striped ones look equally good." - Victoria Beckham
The first thing I did when buying Victoria Beckham's book “That Extra Half an Inch” was to read the "winter" section, and in particular the section on scarves. Although I really do like Victoria - and her book is a fun read - some of her suggestions are a tiny bit ridiculous. I mean really, does she think every girl has a couple hundred dollars to spend on scarves by Louis Vuitton or Burberry?
Victoria does mention Gap for colorful scarves. But really I wonder if she has ever even been to Gap (just a random thought... :) Still, I really do love her style and in no way is this a critique of her personal choice, but only my personal opinion. Since I am pretty sure that few people who can buy Louis Vuitton and Burberry scarves like I buy my Starbucks...
My favorite Fall 2008 Runway Looks
Since not everyone has the pop star budget like Victoria Beckham, my recommendation for scarves on a budget is Club Monaco. They currently have cashmere scarves on sale $60, and they are really long and cozy and the quality of cashmere is great. I have a few Club Monaco cashmere pieces and they look great after a winter or two.
I am wearing:
Autumn Cashmere cashmere dress
Club Monaco cashmere scarf
80%20 Jackie Hidden Wedge Crinkled Patent Leather Boots
Accessories & Beyond Gold Bracelets
Calvin Klein Opaque Tights
.
Another thing I recommend is to wear a thin slip under a cashmere dress, since they tend to cling to the body. A pretty slip will make the dress sit better, without riding up or clinging. Call me old, fashioned but investing in a pretty silk slip is a must for any woman.
Thank you all for your lovely comments! Thanks especially to the lovely Nita - Karoliina for the amazing award.
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
Yesterday, I went shopping to find some must-haves for my Cancun Mexico vacation. My big finds were these awesome Marc Jacobs sunglasses, and this versatile one shoulder top from Mexx. I also finally received my Accessories & Beyond Bracelets and they are amazing.
Although I never had enough guts to wear massive sunglasses, I decided to give them a try. I can't find Ray Ban wayfarers in my size (52-14), so I decided to bring my Chanel Aviators and Marc Jacobs Sunglasses on the trip.
I am wearing:
Mexx Cotton/Silk one shoulder top
H&M High waisted skirt
Accessories & Beyond Gold Bracelets
Marc Jacobs Sunglasses
Juicy Couture Mary Jane Heels
I love the idea of matching my bracelets to the shoes...
The frames are comfortable and the glass transitions from dark to light.
Well, lovelies what do you think of the glasses?
Thank you all for your lovely comments and e-mails!
I wish you all a lovely day!!!
With Love ...
Marta
