My favourite things

Today I thought I would do a post on some of my favourite things. 
Although I treasure most of what I own, these are a few things that I have a particular liking for. 

 

Chanel perfumes 

Each one was given to me at a special time of my life by someone close to me

Coco Chanel  -  the love of my life
Premiere no5 - an incredibly strong inspirational woman 
Coco Mademoiselle - a dear friend 


 

I only wear Chanel on special occasions

 

Whenever I smell Chanel I remember all the good memories Ive had wearing it


 

I love costume jewelery
 I love big girly rings, pearl necklaces and statement earrings

 

I adore my fluffy apartment slippers , they remind me of black and white movies,
 and old hollywood glamour .


 

I buy a different colour every year

 

The bows on my four post bed and the black draping.  


  

 My grandmother made them especially for my bed and I made the satin bows.


 

My inspiration board 

Images that i love  

On the board there is an image of Audrey Hepburn that one of my
creative friends hand stitched for me , its waiting for a frame !

I also keep a look book of magazine
 tear-outs and collected images 


 

My BB !!!

I love my blackberry to death , it keeps me in touch with the people I love
Sandy+Victoria+BB love

 

My dirty old speedy

Gotta love it! 

Fits my whole life inside and goes with everything!

 

Bejewelled shoes
