Alfresco fun and Luella Monsters
These images were taken as I got ready to leave for an alfresco dinner at a girlfriend’s. Flickering tealights, coconut concoctions, making over my mini laptop with Luella monster stickers is always a great start to a night.
I am constantly perusing in the menswear sections of stores to the confusion of sale assistants. It was the colour that attracted me to the shirt.
Easy does it
As I got dressed for the dinner, my outfit was inspired by my ‘lazy bed lounge unrushed’ mood.
Sometimes all a girl craves is a great shirt, slacks and a handful of jewellery.

You look amazing. I love menswear inspired clothing. And I often am rummaging around the mens shops too.
I like that boho elegance on you and your lipstick is major
OK, you are rocking a touch of old school movie star glamour, and the wee pout.The peach tones of the shirt are so femme ..;. not one smile tonight?
Love the necklace.
P.S Naomi Campbell will be on Oprah Monday!!
I love the shoes.
Stunning lip colour Marian it really suits you, have a great weekend xx

Hope your dinner was fun and fabulous!
Love the way you styled the men’s shirt and gorgeous necklace!

I’d say you have the best taste in accessories out of everyone I’ve ever met ever. You look stunning as always x
You look fantastic! And I must say — you’re inspiring me to continue my lipstick business. You see, I’ve never worn lipstick before until this past week, when I began playing around with wearing my black eyeshadow on my lips. I’ve taken a few images and posted them to my blog but I haven’t dared to wear my latest accessory in public. I still feel a bit clownish with so much artificial color on my lips because of their size and prominence. I know, totally irrational but I’m working on it : )
well after this, I should think nothing of falling down stairs
Oh, lovely outfit! I love the snapshots from dinner and your pretty pink lippy!
I love the shirt this way!
lovre it Marian, that lipstick is pretty on you!
Love the 1st bangle!
Happy fresh week!
?

You make dressing up look so effortless! By the way, do you have a link or contact number of a website developer? I had a friend ask me this the other day as well and I remembered our conversation. I am hoping to shoot between May 7-13th before I go to Moscow on the 14th (knock on wood) !!!
i LOVE your style girl- this outfit is amazing! especially covet that necklace.

Gorgeous as usual!! Lovin the soft pastel colors of the blouse and cami mixed with the menswear trouser. So chic!
Thank you for all the lovely comments

Sometimes all a girl craves is a great shirt, slacks and a handful of jewellery. –> So very true! I wish I can shop at the men’s dept, too, but I am petite and should really shop at the kids’ section.
excellent – this is how I envision you dressing- perfectomundo. a’la katherine hepburn. I comb this cool store Alexis
downtown for men’s shirts to wear over my leggings and camis with boots. also enjoy wearing men’s shirts tied below
the breasts with low slung jeans.
AMAZING! I just found your blog and your style is wonderful!
Love these pix Marian! You look like a bad azz! =)
Saw your earrings on the SATC2 trailer! Nice one!
How are you and your husband?

Hello everyone, thank you for all your amazing comments.
Eniola – honey I am great thanks, hope you have been good too. It has been ages. Darlings what earrings did you mean? I do not design but I think you may mean the Cleopatra earrings as designed by lovely Wendy Brandes which is worn by Samantha in the SATC2 trailer?
If you meant those, they are not by me. They are a fabulous NY based jewellery designer called Wendy Brandes. Please kindly find link to her site as below.
