Birthday girls rule the world.

As I mentioned before, I'm featuring a few friends and a little bit of their wardrobes on my blog now and then. This is my friend Shamieda, whose birthweekend (she doesn't have just one day, people. Her birthday once lasted something like 13 days) we celebrated a while ago.

One of the days encompassed a high tea (yes, high teas are a regular thing in the circles I move in and I'll have it no other way). In light of the festivities, we all gathered in our finery to drink tea, eat cake and talk about politics and hot guys.

Winter Wishlist

Winter's coming. At least 'round my parts of the world, which means I'm already daydreaming about boots and woollen scarves and belted trench coats.  Here are some of the things I would gladly make space for in my wardrobe. Who says you can't wear biker boots with a Dior skirt?

Biker boots because I'm a pro-flats kind of girl. These were featured at Victoria Beckham's 2012 autumn/winter fashion show. 

Cashmere. Just the word alone makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  This sweater is part of Dior's most recent autumn collection. But looking at this picture, never mind the  sweater... that skirt!

I am a sucker for Fossil bags. And I've been eyeing this one for about a year now. If this bag was a person, I'd have a restraining order out against me.

I first saw this Liz Claiborne cape on whatiwore.tumblr.com and it was love at first sight. 

You know how Ferraris look so much sexier in red?  The same could be said for trench coats.  This one is by Yves Saint Laurent (and what I mean by that is: I'll never own this particular one, but maybe something like it).
