Seeking Mabel: February 2015

Desperately seeking......

So, here are the things I am desperately seeking at the moment. Hours spent, armed with a glass of red wine and a block on Lindt dark chocolate, looking for the perfect........

Pair of skinnies. There are so many to choose from. I absolutely despise trying clothes on, jeans in particular which, makes jeans shopping very difficult! Basically I want the softest, stretchiest pair of mid rise, super skinny jeans in the perfect blue with perhaps some distressing. I am looking at 7 for all mankind, Rag and Bone, AG Goldschmeid and Citizens of Humanity. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and go and try some on.

Citizens of humanity skinny jeans.

Or.....a pair of boyfriend skinny jeans. A bit soft and slouchy but not super baggy. With some nice distressing. Great with heels or flats.

Rag and Bone

AG Adriano Goldshmied

T shirt dress. I just bought a lovely one from Country Road but one is never enough!!!! Bassike have a number of gorgeous dresses that are a tank, capped or long sleeve. They are a boxy fit, to hide the bulges and are made of lovely soft organic jersey. Now I just have to pick which style and which color!!!!!

Country Road

Bassike

A new black handbag. It must be beautiful buttery soft leather, black and big enough to fit a water bottle, hand cream, wallet, phone, lip gloss, tissues and a pen.

Witchery

A new hand cream. I have the driest hands that split on the tips of my fingers which is terribly painful and also unattractive! Josie Maran is found at Mecca Maxima and it smells divine and feels amazing on!!!!

Some new basic tanks. I wear one most days so need enough to get through the week. I want gorgeous soft fabric and loose casual style. Bassike once again is my go to for this sort of thing and there are so many colors and styles to choose from!

Bassike

A chambray dress to see out the rest of summer. A classic cut so that I will be able to pull it out for holidays and next summer. This Acne Studio one is perfect!!!!!!

Acne Studios

Ulla Johnson

I have just discovered this Bali based label and I am obsessed. Gorgeous floaty dresses that are lacey and backless ahhhhhh too amazing!! I want one of everything, in every color!!!!!!!

Magali Pascal

A new winter coat. Long and cosy in a lovely neutral color that will match with everything in my wardrobe. Witchery has my favorite at the moment but Country Road has also got some lovely ones.

A hat for winter. I would normally opt for a beanie with a pompom but I am loving all the amazing felt hats that are around too!

I am finally going to do it! Cut more than a centimeter off the end of my hair. I am going for the lob. Yes, I realise it has been done by nearly all the celebs and wannabes but my hair is in desperate need of a cut and style and this is as adventurous as I am going to get!!!!!
