Did you ever regret not buying something when you had the chance? Well, back in November last year my fabulous SA at the Chanel boutique in Amsterdam offered me a first pick on this gorgeous red cardigan from the Cruise 2010 collection. I decided to buy a bag instead. I wish I had purchased it. It would have been my first Chanel ready to wear item. :) 

If I had bought the cardigan, I think this would be a great way to combine it:

Chanel Spring-Summer sale Collection 2010

About two weeks ago I received the following announcement from Chanel:

So, as you may understand I am off to Chanel later today to check out what's on sale! :)

I love to mix and match designer items with high-street fashion and believe that especially H&M manages to translate catwalk trends into wearable designs that also keep my wallet happy. :)

Today H&M launched their summer collection. When watching this video, who can resist?

Since I'm used to popular items selling out fast in their online shop, I was up early and managed to buy a couple of things. I hope that despite the low price tag the quality is not too bad.

Here's a set of a couple of items I purchased today online combined with some other items: 

I ordered the bikini, tanktop, sandals and bracelet. I also ordered the white shirt from the Garden Collection which I ordered before, but which turned out to be 2 sizes too big. I already have the shorts, hat (both H&M) and Ray Ban sunnies which I find to fit perfect in this beach look. Finally, I am crazy about scarves and hardly leave house without them. High on my wish list is this Love Quotes scarf called "Yoga". I hope you like this set! :)
