What I love about these is the comfort factor, they look like they should not be but trust me, they are, I wore them from early evening on New Year’s eve right into the early hours , I danced the night away with not as much as a blister, ache or pain, really incredible and something you would not expect at this price point, what I also love is that they are stunning , fashionable but not so fashionable that you would only get the party season out of them or this season out of them, they will look good this year, next year and beyond, these are a super staple for your going out footwear wardrobe and I am very impressed with Online Avenue, for their quality service, speedy delivery and incredible price points and quality, I will be a repeat customer here.

Trend ALERT: How to wear the blanket scarf

Burberry’s monogrammed ponchos have certainly stolen our hearts on the autumn/winter 2014 catwalk, but here’s how to translate the blanket scarf into your real-life wardrobe.

Draped nonchalantly over one’s shoulders, blanket scarves certainly look easy to pull-off, but what happens when a gust of wind threatens? and lets face it, we will have more than a few gusts to contend with, Or one gets jostled in a crowd? To avoid constantly tugging at one’s cape-like cover-up, there is a simple super easy solution,  the belt.! Cinching in the waist not only adds outfit security when on the move, it highlights the fact you do have a womanly figure under that mass of woollen material and depending on the belt, you can tie in your bag, shoes and additional accessories..

Say it with skinnies

Pairing a poncho with anything fluid down below will simply wash out your entire figure. Let your blanket do the talking and your legs stay shapely by wearing skinny jeans. You know it makes sense when Miroslava Duma who is never seen in denim, drapes her Burberry over some stonewashed skinnies.ponco

So here you have it!! There’s a new trend in town for AW14 and it is the blanket scarf this is tipped to be the must have Autumn accessory .  Penneys have a wide selection of styles for just €6 that are just this week arriving in an array of colours. with all the other hight street stores getting in on the act 🙂

This is €6 from Penneysponco Newlook at €24.99 ponco

And many others are arriving into all the hight street stores this month

Four dresses and a wedding / Mr & Mrs Clooney in Pictures

amaldress

Mr & Mrs Stunning more like 🙂 The nuptials of the actor and the lawyer were so lavishly staged and starry you’d be forgiven for wondering what kind of heist was happening in the background 🙂

All eyes were fixed on the Amal Alamuddin as she wed the world’s most eligible bachelor but the 36-year-old lawyer seemed unfazed as she walked the streets of Venice in a series of elegant, floating gowns.

While her wedding dress is shrouded in secrecy, there is no doubting her style credentials shone over the course of the weekend’s celebrations.

Making her first post-nuptial appearance on Sunday  the British-Lebanese lawyer stepped out in a lace long-sleeved Giambattista Valli dress dotted with bright flowers.

George and Amal’s wedding was that of beauty and all things lavish. Here are some pictures

Clooney clooney1 clooney2 What a stunning couple , he is redicously handsome and she is like a old Hollywood movie star.

Human-rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin finally married her movie actor fiancé George Clooney in a five-day festival in Venice, which has been like an affair of state.

Innumerable reporters and photographers in speedboats and chartered water taxis have been drenching canalside gift shops with tidal waves of murky water as they whoosh madly back and forth looking for stories. Meanwhile, thousands of columnists all over the world have all filedAPTOPIX Italy Clooney Wedding

The ceremony itself has been locked down, picture rights having been sold for charity to US Vogue – whose editor, Anna Wintour, has been pictured gingerly stepping aboard a bobbing craft – but snippets have got out. The ceremony was performed by Rome’s former mayor Walter Veltroni, and the bride and groom processed through an arch of imported white roses while the assembled guests beamed and a string quintet played Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Later, guests were reportedly offered a choice between sea bass and Chianina steak.

That Venetian location was almost outrageous, positively Bondian in its glamour. So much so that one might almost suspect a huge tongue-in-cheek stunt or hoax on Mr Clooney’s part, a delicious diversionary tactic that could have been dreamt up by Danny Ocean (Clooney’s roguish heist-caper mastermind in his movie Ocean’s Eleven) as a ruse to distract the media’s attention from the fact that the real wedding had happened, or was about to happen elsewhere: in Rome, or Paris or Wood Green register office in north London.

What a difference to his first wedding in 1989, in which the younger George Clooney, unencumbered by these almost constitutional responsibilities, just jumped into a Winnebago with his girlfriend Talia Balsam, headed for Vegas and got hitched. The couple parted some years later, on perfectly amicable terms.

clooney3

Alamuddin is highly successful and respected as a professional in her own right: a brilliant and serious person who was perhaps the only plausible marital prospect for a man who has become almost a byword for handsomeness, a bachelor from another, more glamorous age who could surely not expect or want to remain single forever.

They are clearly radiantly happy, and she is quite possibly the dominant partner. With this wedding, Alamuddin and Clooney have co-directed a sensational piece of multimedia street theatre: a spectacular event played out in the canals of Venice, in exclusive hotels, and in glossy magazine pages.

Do you get derailed by the Fabulous boobie traps in your store, If you do you are not alone

Do you go into the store for milk and leave with everything other that milk?

So you know how it is, You have a “few bits” to pick up in the supermarket and you may even go to the trouble of writing a list: .. Something I may need to begin doing in order to avoid these all too often derailments.. anyhow so you pop in store and you know this “list” be it in writing, a note on your phone or a mental list is just a little list, may take you 15 minutes to get in, grab your items, check the offers, get through the check out and BAM your home!!! That’s the plan.. right?

But the before you know it, you have spotted something sparkle in the corner of your eye.. and No it is not anything noted on The List but it is too sparkly and too cute to just walk on by and sure you are only going to look, what! like a 30 second look is going to be that much of a derailment .. I am in control here , it is only a peek and this quote came to mind and I knew I just couldn’t walk on by……..shopping

So I follow my ❤ .. good move right!! and I begin to browse about at all the FABULOUS beauties on offer, I try a coat on.. this coat coat

but walked away from it as my regular size was a little big and the size down was a little small… carried on picking up bits, getting further and further away from my reason for going shopping ” the milk, potatoes and a few other bits” Seeing some lovely things in all fairness .. And then I stumble upon these beauties .. WOW what beauties they are.. I am in ❤ with the shoe shoes , I try them on and Oh wow they fit like a glove, the are the perfect height and look amazing .. so I HAVE to have them.. shopping2

Pretty right? So who buys just shoes .. Like they would be great on their own but I know if I keep looking I will find something amazing to go with these beauties.. I have at this point forgotten the original purpose of my trip and carry on in this delightful ((all be it unexpected)) shopping escapade AND what do I find but only the perfect accompaniment to these FABULOUS she shoes , feast your eyes on this baby!! shopping3

What a beaut this is, so Now I have the Shoes and I have the Bag but I have NO milk and NO potatoes ..

Does this happen to you? I am alone in this .. Let me know

Wow!! How incredible beautiful are these Oscar de la Renta dresses?? Think Sex in the City meets Jennifer Lawrence on the red carpet and you have this collection being shown at New York Fashion Week.

This is a serious highlight of the week so far and we have just fallen head over heels in love with these gorgeous, voluminous, floral, show stopping, floor length gowns… I think if there was a dress heaven it may look like this collection.♥

Oscar de la Renta has said ‘I just want to make beautiful clothes’ and this is exactly what he is doing with this and previous collections.

I just can’t wait for the High street to recreate some of these style in the weeks and months ahead.

That PINK dress Carrie Bradshaw wore for her date with the Russian in Paris is one of Oscar’s .. and a true favourite of mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZv_LsndF7w
