The Sneaky Magpie

I got stinking cold and really wish to get better now, everyone is sneezing around me and I bet the few necessary tube trips contributed to getting it.

I started to read The Accidental by Ali Smith and I haven’t decided how I feel about it yet but perhaps I should read bit more than 2 chapters.

When the weather gets windy and chilly I like to surround myself with things that make me feel good and cozy so I engaged in a little Polyvore fun and here are the results.

These fabulous items could brighten up dark cold winter days especially if made of cashmere like the cardigans.

Dress and black top with star detail by Malene Birger, navy blue cardi by Vanessa Bruno, gold waistcoat and stripy top by DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, beige cardi with pearl detail by Moschino Cheap and Chic, scarf-y black top by Camilla and Marc Meek.

And few more mood enhancers wouldn’t hurt.

Boots and scarf by Toast and jewelery by Alex Monroe. Some books, film, beauty products and hot chocolate.

Feeling better already. Might cook up some chocolate bisque tonight.

I only went there to get some knickers and they were missing from their usual spot. Topshop is all turned up-side-down, messy, hard to find a thing, but yet I managed to stumble across these studded skinny jeans. And did they make my legs look skinny! Somehow only Topshop jeans are able to turn my humongous thighs into slim and toned. MAGIC. So needless to say I got them. If I am to rationalize this purchase I bought it because the temperatures dropped and I am wearing a sundress and …. well, really like the jeans.

I also tried on this jacket. Luckily for my wallet it didn’t suit me. They do have a good selection of ‘trophy jackets’ as they call them.

Feeling slightly traumatised after the Topshop experience I went to Liberty to the beauty department where they wrap your Diptyque candle nicely and spray the same scent on the tissue paper. Love them so much for this.
