Fashion Girl of the Week:

Amy louise is this weeks fashion girl and a very dear friend of mine, I have always envied her style, she always seems to put fabulous stuff together and is an amazing bargain shopper. 

"I wouldn't say I have a defined style, I take clothes from all over the place and make them my own, one man's rubbish is another man's treasure"

favourite places to shop- "River Island, Cow and the ebay vintage outlet and charity shops"

"My favourite outfit right now is my blue velvet shirt, high waisted black skirt and frill wedges with my beige chunky knit cardigan"

"I spend the most money on Jumper's and Shirt's AND tights! Endlessly going through them"

"The thing I like about fashion is the personal expression, the fact that some one could be wearing the exact same thing as you, but it all depends on the way you put it together and the accessories you wear that makes it so different" 

A big thanks to Amy- as you can see this girl has a unique style, she wears the clothes and makes them her own. 

Fabulous!

February Favourite's

I've recently decided to do monthly favourites, I know it's March but I'm going to show you what I was loving in February and then do a March one at the end of this month. 

My Yankee candles, yes I still wish it was Christmas.

 I got them on sale because they were in the Christmas collection. The white one smells like vanilla and the red one smells like yummy cinnamon. 

I light them everyday because they make my room all cosy and smell lovely. 

As soon as these run out I'm going to get some summery ones. 

One of the perks of working at the fragrance shop is that I get some lovely perfume, the other perk is the lovely people I work with obviously.  

This one is Flora by Gucci and smells like fresh flowers, when it's sunny this scent makes me feel all happy. 

The other one Gucci does in Flora is Eau Fresh and it's so sweet and subtle, perfect for days in the sun. 

I've been using this scrub from Soap & Glory and it makes my skin feel so soft. 

I use it 3 times a week, because daily use irritates me skin and there's these little orange balls in the lotion that pop when you press on them. 

I thought that was quite cool apparently they are smooth-boosting sphere's. 

Whatever they are they make me skin all refreshed and clean. 

I bought these boots with my friend on a little shopping trip to Birmingham from Select in the Pallasade's, she also got some gorgeous one's that I will be stealing from her soon if she doesn't keep her eye on them. 

The photo doesn't do these boot's justice, they are a dark beige colour with a light beige wedge and go really well with my harem trousers. 

They fit in with the camel/tan trend perfectly and were only £20. 

I've seen loads of owl necklace's lately mostly from places like Topshop, this cute fellow was actually purchased in Tesco. 

It's a long gold coloured necklace and goes well with EVERYTHING!

I'm certainly getting the wear out of him. 

Marshmallow cupcake's! 

My mom made these they have marshmallow's under the frosting and a marshmallow centre.

They are so nice, I keep telling my mom to make and sell her cupcake's because they are that good, and no I'm not just saying that. 

On a side note, look what happened when I took a picture of my candle's, I dropped my earring in the wax!

Not sure how I'm going to scrape the wax off but never mind. 

And that's it for February, expect another load at the end of this month. 

Fashion Want

Miss Selfridge- £35

Miss Selfridge- £35

I have a major love for shirts at the moment and love these two from Miss Selfridge, I want to wear the white one with a gorgeous pair of high waisted shorts and tuck the camel colour one into a lovely black skirt. 

Hurry up pay-day. 

Spring White

D&G, Max Mara

Going on a completly different tangent from yesterday, today I'm looking at the white trend. This look is meant to fresh and crisp. When I think of white clothes of think of the fresh linen smell and gorgeous sunny days, (which lucky for me today is one of those days).
This season white is edgy with clean lines. It's functional with a lack of fussy detail.

Dress- Dorothy Perkins, Shirt- Miss Selfridge, Mac- Warehouse,
Trousers- Very, Bag- John lewis, Sunglasses- Warehouse,
Shoes- La Redoute

Notes

• Structured Jackets combine clean lines with functionality. 
• White too much? Accessorize with bags, shoes and sunglasses. 
• Wear Dresses to make the look more wearable. 

Travelling Style

D&G, Salvatore Ferragamo, Missoni

Romantic ruffles, tousled locks, head scarves, espadrilles and sandals, chanel your inner gypsy this season. Think traveller rather than big fat gypsy wedding. Forget the boho trend that transpired through the late noughties this is more chic and sophisticated.

Kate Moss 2009

Traveller Notes:

• Long flowing fabric.
• Prints
• Hooped earings 
• Sandals
• Tiered layers
• Keep accessories to a minimum 
• Headscarves

I'll be keeping to the trend with gorgeous headscarves and cute turbans. 

Find a selection of head scarf's at River Island, Topshop and New Look

University

I've happily received my UCA, interview date, which I'm sososo excited about as it's my first choice uni to go to, had a look at their portfolio notes and I need to narrow my work down to 10 pieces and only one page of any writing I've done. So I need to improve bits that I've done and really make it stand out. 

Interview is on 23rd march and then 26th march down to Southampton I go for another interview, which is my second choice uni. 

Get the chance to look around and decide which one I prefer. Hopefully I'll get into my favourite, I'm nervous already and it's not even close. 

I'll be a bag of nerves the day before and I bet I won't get any sleep. 

Top Blog's

I was thinking today about which blogs are my favourite, and have compiled a small list of 7 that I love and try to read religiously:

• http://www.cottonwoolclouds.com/ love the way all her posts are personal and in a creepy way I love reading about other people's lives and seeing picture's of their day to day excursions. 
• http://iamacoolhunter.blogspot.com/ not your average fashion blog, this blog features stunning fashion that is more unique. 
• http://luckylucychance.blogspot.com/, love her inspiring posts and picture's. 
• http://www.milkteef.com/ what can I say I love her fashion sense and her posts and concise and well laid out, which I know is wiered to comment on but I prefer reading blogs that look pretty. Shallow I know!
• http://wise-rabbit-says.blogspot.com/ this girl has a stunning collection of shoes and all her outfits are just wonderful, I like reading to see what outfit she's put together day after day. 
• http://www.lipglossiping.com/ not a fashion blog, this one's a beauty one, and an absolutely amazing one, clear reviews on make-up and no bull s***. Also how she manages to find time to run her blog with a toddler running around is beyond me. 
• http://streetandcityphotos.blogspot.com/ photo's of the average Joe on the street this blog takes photo's of normal people with a flair. Really Inspiring. 

However saying these are my favourite's doesn't mean I love them any more than all the other fab blogs I follow. 

Will hopefully feature another set of favourites very soon.
