It’s happened. I finally like something designed by Roberto Cavalli. No, I am not a big fan. Too much gold, too bling, too many animal prints. But I really do like this Just Cavalli Fall 2008 flamingo print blouse.

How dare Marc Jacobs come up with this lovely black number that is just the right type of vintage inspired and yet so modern? I would pair it with this fantastic Miu Miu coat and brown brogues.

Queen Michelle at Kingdom of Style has been blogging about US store Pixie Market, which has recently launched its own online shop. There are plenty of quirky, cool and stylish pieces from a range of designers. Sadly, even with the low dollar, my credit cards are all maxed out…

I wish I could have:

 Adeline Cacheux ring

  Natalie Encarnita top

 Pretty Young Thing barette

I periodically check the German Design Shop, and I can only recommend it for anyone who likes the puritan, functional spirit of German design.

Today I really quite fancied this bag from label Gretchen.

It’s summer and I’m craving sweet floral nothings and cotton candy colours. Paul & Joe Sister is perfect.

…simply by looking at Phillip Lim’s amazing clothes. Supposedly inspired by New York City, Lim’s 3.1 clothing line is full of fantastic feminine shapes, delicate shift dresses and frocks and edgy knitwear.

I don’t really know why but I have become slightly obsessed with platform sandals this year. Maybe because they elevate my meager 163cm (5foot3) to never before known heights and give me an almost regal walk (well that’s what I’d like to think, trot is probably more accurate).

I am lusting after these:

There are websites that I should have never come across because of their addictiveness. Etsy is one of them. There are things on Etsy that I’ve been watching for months and months until eventually, in a moment of weakness, I’ll end up buying them.

Currently on my watch list (just a tiny selection of the millions of things):

vintage 40s celluloid and rhinestone knot clip

handkerchief (to melodramatically wave to the boy as I arrive on a visit, ideally on a ship, realistically on a plane)

vintage Berlin map necklace

I’ve found this lovely green cape by Brazilian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch. It’s in the sale too, must get the boyfriend on to this!

… all of this, please?
