How resplendent are these whimsical camera straps? If you don't have my proclivity for sequins, these adorable straps also come embellished in chiffon, tulle, and bows ... 

Find one that tickles your fancy here!

Also, last chance to enter my LBD giveaway here as it ends tomorrow! 

Much love, Mandy. xx

Lusting : white and gold sandals.

Topshop "Frankie Cuff Metal Sandals"

Topshop "Gold Glitter Sandals"

I am seriously lamenting over the fact that these little beauties weren't available a few months ago for me to frolic around in and proceed with the obligatory summer frivolities ... 

Have an absolutely exquisite weekend, everyone!

Love, Mandy. xx

Lusting : Lucette.

Lucette Desert Angel Foil Clutch

I always used to be the type of person who would gravitate to ample bags that could store all the content of my life in it. Lately, however, I have had an increasing affinity to more petite styles slung casually over the shoulders or clutched with an abundance of accessories. This Lucette clutch encompasses the best of both worlds and would absolutely match everything in my wardrobe. 

Love, Mandy. xx

I am quite the romantic, but I've always thought that Valentine's day is the antithesis of romance with its hyper-commercialism and the disproportionate amount of stress it induces on the male population. In my mind, no amount of long-stemmed roses and chocolates will ever supersede the inherent loveliness of a simple heartfelt kiss, a warm embrace, and eternal love. 

... However, if any of my secret admirers out there would like to slip these in my letter box, I certainly wouldn't say no. ;) 

Love, Mandy. xx

Lusting : ear confectionary.

1. Elena Gloria 'Art no. 101' 

2. Samantha Wills 'French Lace earrings'

As the sunlight stretches the days a little longer, party invitations are sent (and delightfully received) and the stilettos emerge along with svelte, tanned summer bodies in swathes of gorgeous cocktail dresses. 

... And with such beautiful imagery, wouldn't these delectable ear candies increase the glamour factor exponentially?

Love, Mandy. xx

("The Fluro" satchel - The Cambridge Satchel Company)

I would love one of the fluorescent pink satchels .... or any of The Cambridge Satchel Company's satchels for that matter. 

Stylish and pragmatic - they really can do no wrong. 

Love, Mandy. xx
