2016 Year in Review: What I bought – The Accessories Edition

THE COUNT: 4 ITEMS (shocked?)

I didn’t add much in way of accessories because I don’t really need any more, and the items I add tend to be expensive.

THE OVERVIEW OF ACCESSORIES

DER B. BELT STUDDED

Similar here, but here are all of the styles of studded belts by the brand: here, here, here just like mine but in brown and gold and here, and here.

Quite possibly my favourite belt find ever. I…

2016 Year in Review: What I bought – The Jewellery Edition

THE COUNT: 28 PIECES OF JEWELLERY ADDED

THE OVERVIEW OF JEWELLERY

My two major trends this year? Rose Gold + Cuffs.

I really really hit hard on the rose gold trend (so pretty, and flattering!) and Cuffs made a major appearance in my wardrobe.

I think jewellery is where I really hit my stride this year, believe it or not.

I got rid of a shedload of jewellery and have consciously been trying to…

2016 Year in Review: What I bought – The Scarves Edition

THE COUNT: 15 SCARVES

My scarves tend to not cost a ton of money unless they’re designer-ish like Kenzo or something like that. Otherwise, I just really go for design, colour and touch. They have to feel comfortable, liquid and drape beautifully.

I’m also not a fan of tiny scarves, I need HUGE blanket scarves to hang down and wrap around, so if it’s small and square, I typically stay away because…

2016 Year in Review: What I bought – The Bags & Purses Edition

THE COUNT: 12 PURSES

As usual, it is one bag per month with me. There is a weakness I have with bags, and there is always a prettier, more organized bag and like Pokémon, I’m determined to own them all.

The good news is that each bag serves a purpose and I do use them quite often, sometimes up to 3bags a day, one for Baby Bun’s stuff, and one for me, and sometimes another one as a smaller…

2016 Year in Review: What I bought – The Footwear Edition

THE COUNT: 12 SHOES/BOOTS PAIRS ADDED

Footwear is not my thing but I still added 12 pairs to my wardrobe this year! One a month. A few were just out of luck that I have been stalking eBay listings for them, and the others were whims.

I mostly added shoes, and only one pair of boots. I upped my sandal game, and tried to experiment a little with some trends, and found some additional Manolo Blahnik…

Підсумки і сюрпризи минулого року

Привітик, мої любі! Сьогодні я трішки посиджу з вами, поміркую над тим, яким був минулий рік і загадаю бажання на наступний. Помітила, що серед блогерів є цікава традиція підбивати підсумки минулого року і ділитися з читачами своїми досягненнями і планами. Мені не звично це робити, бо я взагалі більше люблю слухати новини від інших, аніж розповідати про свої, тим паче, коли їх небагато, а ще вони…
