More LiLiFi love from MyBag.com

I have previously blogged about my purchases from LiLiFi here and here. And here is the latest addition to my LiLiFi collection, this time from MyBag.com .

If you are a regular reader of my blog or follow me on Twitter, then you will know that I have more than a little bit of love for all prints of the leopard variety. Therefore I couldn't resist adding this clutch to my collection when I discovered it on MyBag.com for only £35 (68% off)! I think this lighter leopard colour-way will be fantastic in the Summer. 

You can currently get 15% off site-wide at MyBag.com . You will have to be quick though, as the offer ends midnight on the 22nd February.

YSL Arty Ring

Firstly, apologies for the lack of posts lately. The last few weeks have been really busy (including starting a new job which I am loving!) so my blog has had to take a bit of a back seat. However hopefully normal blogging service will be resumed very shortly!

I have been wanting a YSL Arty ring for an age but always resisted temptation (most unlike me I know!) However thanks to the wonder of January sales and online discount codes, this rose gold beauty is finally mine.

I am so glad that I opted to buy it. This year I am determined to adopt the shopping mantra of 'Buy less, but buy better' and this is the perfect example. Instead of buying lots of random bits of cheap jewellery, I opted to buy a piece that I LOVE and that is a classic piece.

I would love to know what items are top of your wishlists.

S/S 2012 Jewellery Edit: My Wardrobe

I don't know about you, but one of my favourite ways of changing a familiar outfit is by updating the accessories that I wear with it. I tend to favour either a statement necklace or a chunky ring. I find that I always get comments about my accessories. But a girl can never have too many accessories, so I have been trawling my favourite sites for some statement pieces. Here is my selection from one of my favourite web-sites, My-Wardrobe. You can't have failed to miss that it is Valentine's Day coming up, but if you don't buy into all that hooha, then why not treat yourself? As my friend Sam said: "Treat yourself. You love yourself don't you?" Wise words from a lovely lady!

When it comes to accessories, do you go for the "less is more" subtle look? Or are you more of a "pile as many as possible on" person?

Pastel Perfection: No 7 'Pinky Pure' & LILIFI Purple Clutch Purse

Despite the Winter weather we have had over the last week, I am focusing on the fashion business in hand: Spring/Summer 2012's penchant for pastels. Most of the clothes in my closet, tend to be either monochrome, or strong colours such  as blue and red. I don't really tend to buy many pastel items. And that seems to translate into my beauty purchases too.

However, what became clear from the Spring/Summer 2012 Collections, is that pastels are definitely having a moment. From the pastel perfection of Louis Vuitton, to the style sweet-shop that is Mulberry's Spring/Summer campaign, pastels were everywhere. So, I decided that it was time I introduced some pastels into my closet and my beauty look.

Louis Vuitton S/S 2012

Mulberry S/S 2012

First up, was this gorgeous clutch purse from LILIFI. In addition to looking rather lovely, it is also really practical, as there are enough compartments to hold all your cards, cash, passport and phone.

When it came to beauty, I opted for a pastel pink nail polish (No 7 'Pinky Pure'), as opposed to my usual stronger colours. I did wonder whether this might be a bit too girlie for me. However, I really liked the colour once it was on. The polish applied really smoothly, and two coats gave full coverage.

The next step on my road to pastel perfection? To introduce more pastel shades into my closet. Watch this space!

So will you be trying out pastel shades this season? Or will you be wearing brighter colours?
