This is the second part of a series in which I share highlights from my Vestiaire Collective wish list. I would like to get another pair of The Rows mesh flats. I wore them so much last year, as they such a comfy pair of shoes. I am also expecting the old Céline earrings to arrive next week.

Another favourite, Sophie Bille Brahe, has a trunkshow at Moda Operandi which features her new Fall 2021 collection available for pre-order. I love the fresh take on her iconic ‘Sandro Nuit’ earring. It is the one above and it is called ‘Nuit Royale’ - what a highlight. View the full collection here.

I am slightly repeating myself here, but these ‘Fairy’ cashmere boots haunt me. They are quirky in the right kind of way. Not practical - I can admit that! But then again being practical was never the point of this platform.

I got my hands on the Active Botanical Serum by Vintner’s Daughter not too long ago and it is terrific! I am only using the serum now - as per instructions - paired with my Whamisa toner and an acne treatment from Mádara, as I got some breakouts a couple of months ago. Here’s some other products I am thinking of getting:
CHANEL Hydra Beauty Essence, BYREDO Tobacco Mandarin Perfume, CIRCUMFERENCE Active Restorative Moisturizing Cream, CHANEL Rouge Coco Baume, DR. BARBARA STURM Hyaluronic Serum, CHANEL Baume Essentiel ‘Golden Light’, RODIN Luxury Body Oil, VINTNER’S DAUGHTER Active Treatment Essence

My life has been quite packed lately but I suppose I had to check in to let the world know about my Chanel cravings. If you saw my wish list, well, it would only read Chanel. I am actually a major fan of the classic French House, as they truly stick to their style - a piece of Chanel is something you can have forever. Also, their Resort 2021 collection is damn good. Belly chains yes please. It was one of the first collections to emerge amidst the pandemic back in June and the House always serves as a reference point.
As always, the shoes haunt me, so these are the two I would like (whenever my next vacay will be). This back is quite nice too.
I would say about fifty per cent of the clothes and accessories I purchase are second hand. I am Vestiaire Collective regular. I thought it would be fun to share a couple of pieces from my current wish list. I am into vintage inspired jewelry right now and that Céline bag from the Philo era has been haunting me.

My best shoe purchase (not counting Philo’s Céline boots) has been a pair of The Row’s mesh flats. I have worn them countless times, both indoors and outdoors, and they always enhance my mood and look. I am thinking of getting them in black too. Yes or no? This time of the years tends to darken my taste and lean towards all black looks.

The Row’s beautiful spring collection is currently available for pre-order at Moda Operandi (ending in 10 days). The best pieces include these Igor pants and the Cremona cashmere vest - the fresh-looking silhouette of the upcoming season. And the best part is that you could easily use vintage pieces to recreate this look. Smart, no?

Last year, I invested in a nice pair of Céline boots from the Phoebe Philo era. I truly love them and wear them almost daily come winter. But, if I was to buy a new pair this season, I’d consider these beauties from Bottega Veneta. Chic, no?

I am just writing this entry to inform you about the ongoing Sophie Bille Brahe trunkshow at Moda Operandi. The new SBB website also looks very on point - and there you can find Sophie’s latest project called Weekend Magazine. Highly recommend!

Meet BV Point.
The new shoe by Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta. It is a very '‘old’ Cêline -esque design, but I don’t mind, as I have really missed this kind of great shoe - chic yet slightly quirky. I know shoes are my downfall. The shoe designer working under Lee, however, happens to be same person, who worked under Phoebe Philo at Céline. Or at least used to be -could anyone confirm this info?
I should also add that the entire Pre-Fall selection of accessories looks pretty delicious. You can pre-order here.

Since I returned from Australia I have had two savings accounts (actually three as it is always a good idea to have a financial buffer): one for future travel and another for Sophie Bille Brahe jewelry. I want one particular diamond earring, but their pearls are also such gems and also a bit more commercial, as the price point is lower. I am currently craving these Notte Grande earrings.
