It feels so good to be back!

I feel like I've been off the blogging scene for sooooo long now! :( I've been so busy juggling work 7 days a week with completing a course and catching up with old friends but I've finally got a day off and what better way to spend it than to do a bit of blogging for my personal blog and others phewwww! :D

Between now and the last time I blogged I have been to London and just want to put it out there...IF YOU HAVENT BEEN TO THE DIOR EXHIBITION IN HARRODS THEN DEFINITELY DO IT! It was so interesting and inspiring I loved it. Me and my friend had our own tour guide to take us round the exhibition and I would definitely advise this as he went into so much detail about the history of Christian Dior and made the whole thing so enjoyable.

Here are some of my pictures from the exhibition.

 

 



Moving on from Dior, here is a quick outfit post! :) casual as ever.

 

Hat - H&M

Jacket - eBay

Blouse - Forever 21

Leather look leggins - Friends (She'll get them back eventually!)

Heels - New Look

Necklace - Primark

Collar Tips - TOPSHOP

 

 

I'm definitely back on the blogging scene this month from now on! :D 

 

Love,

Birthday Wish List

It's my birthday next Wednesday and I'm the biggest kid when it comes to excitement for them! My mum and co. have been nagging me about what I would like for my birthday this year. The first thing that came to me was money as I've got a holiday to fund and I've just brought V festival  tickets (all on top of saving for uni woops!) but my mum likes to get me a few bits so I've been racking my brains as I don't even know / want anything in particular.

I'm going to be 19 so it's not a huge birthday or anything so I'm thinking just clothes and bits and bobs would be nice so after a long scan on the Internet here is my birthday wish list ! :D

 

1. Leela Platform Shoe Boot - sale £19.99 - Daisystreet.co.uk

2.Pandora Charm - £30

3.Mini dress with drop waist and crochet collar - £38.00 - ASOS

I'm not expecting all of this stuff before anybody labels me as spoilt haha hence 'wish list' :).

 

If you've not came across daisystreet.co.uk before you have to go on. So many bargains on there. I actually came across it myself after reading someone's blog and I've been stuck since, you can get some real good buys on there.

 

Also, livelaughlove.co.uk is a really cute site if your anything like me and love shabby chic bit and bobs for your bedroom and house :)

 

I've got a few things planned for my birthday this year, one of them being to see 1D a few days after (yes a big guilty pleasure!:P)haha!

Tis the season to go..Black n White!

Following on from the SS trend of monochrome I wanted to share my love for black and white photography. The emotion, the emphasis and the power that a black and white picture holds is gripping. Although I'm not really into taking photos myself, photography is something that I enjoy looking through and it provides me with tonnes of inspiration!

 

*All photos taken from Tumblr and Vogue.

One day I would like to take up photography as a hobby, but for now, I will go on enjoying from the side seat :)

Kate Mid's looked absolutely amazing on her big day! Her dress suited her down to the ground, the lace, the sophistication, the shape and the beautiful train! Amazing work by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen!


I hope I'm not the only one with this crazy obsession. Again, leave your links below, finding some great blogs recently :D

By the way visit my latest post on The Editeur on last nights Oscar ceremony.

I was bored so I took a photo...

I've never done a post like this, but yet they are my favourite kind of posts to read myself. I guess It's probably because I never have the time to take pictures but here goes.. :D

This outfit is pretty casual, I was just off out for a meal with a friend and got ready a little too early hence the boredom.

Shirt - ZARA

Leather look trousers - Dorothy Perkins

Shoes - New Look

Handbag - H&M

 

Not going to lie, over the last month I have pretty much lived in these trousers! They're so efficient though, they go with any outfit and are so easy to just chuck on when you don't know what to wear.

 

The shoes were a right bargain at £12.00 or something amazing from New Look. I have a fetish for heels from New Look, they're always such good value for money!

 

I think I'm going to do more posts like this, let me know what you think, I love reading your comments and make sure you leave your site too as I love following new people :)

Three shades of LFW SS 13.

The Editeur Competition.
www.the-editeur.com

As LFW AW 13/14 is approaching (exciting times) I have decided to enter this competition to win tickets, to some of the shows (unlikely as it may be, I have every finger and toe crossed).

Looking back at SS 13 the shows still excite me as right now I'm looking out of my window to whiteness..yes more snow!!:( Hurry up summer...

Nicole Farhi



 

 



 Nicole Farhi's collection was subtle and interesting combining stone colour pallets with soft pleats, quite traditional in style. the fabrics on each garment are light and flowing, translating an airy feeling perfect for a summer affair. Overall the collection screamed elegance.

Issa

  

 

Issa's collections for me, are always an exciting part of LFW. The 70's style oozes glam fun. From maxis to wrap dresses this years collection used the staple bright colours to convey the meaning of summer to us all. Prints live on this year from floral detailing to rather unique themed prints again all presenting bright electric colours!

Moschino Cheap and Chic

This collection was vibrant and rather crazy - in a good way! The mix match of block colours, it would brighten up any ones day. The collection featured Flares, skirts, shorts, crops and wedge style shoes... back to the 60s? For me this collection is what summer is all about, a reflection of summer itself!

Paul Smith

 
Tailoring with a sporty edge, Paul Smith's SS13 collection was of classic feminine beauty. Coral silk blouses, Burgundy blazers and paper bag chinos all glided down the catwalk. Minimalistic seems to be a key factor with this collection, simple silhouettes with little embellishment nor accessories.




Visit The Editeaur !! I have recently started blogging for them too which is very exciting! :D

GOOD LUCK TO ME! :)

Why pay more?

I'm guilty. I'm totally addicted to eBay.

 

1. Mint Green Platform - £9.99

2.Leather Gloves - £5.99

3. Shopping Bag - £15.99

4. Statement Necklace - £4.49

5. Tartan Print Blazer - £6.99

6. Retro sunglasses - £1.69

 

 

The best online shopping website is 100% eBay. You can everything from a cardboard box to a throne for you dog!

 

 

The prices of the above items say it all! Why would you want to pay a fortune for fashion must haves? Like the celebrity style shopping tote bag, yesterday I went into Solihull for a shopping spree (not that I got much) and came across an almost identical handbag similar to this one in River Island and Next for prices between £75.00 - £80.00.

 

So the message to all is.....CHECK eBay FIRST!
