Kimono's and Picnic's

It was my sister's birthday so we went shopping, I had £20 in my pocket and spent it on the lovelies below. 


Saw this and it immediately reminded me of Summer with the cute wicker style and white strap it conjures up visions of a picnic basket. 

This is the lining and the bag set me back £6 from Primark. 


I've seen some lovely Kimono style cover-ups in sheer fabric lately- this one is from Primark again and was £10. They have one in yellow and a blue nautical style one. But this one caught my eye because the colours are lovely and easy to match up. 

By this point I had no money left but a girl can still look right, this shirt is from River Island and is slightly longer at the back. 

This shirt is from River Island as well and has netting along the shoulders. 

The back is exposed and has a tie to bring in the waist. 

So after today's expedition I still have £4 left over to get to and from work or to spend at Zumba :)

la saison du noir

As i rummage my way amongst the numerous clothing websites i know i will never fully be able to afford, it has become obvious that spring is slowly beginning to introduce itself within our clothing. I have seen endless floral patterns, candy colours and fearless frills but despite all of this i refuse to welcome spring with open arms, Instead i have found myself hopelessly trailing through the winter sales because i simply refuse to salute goodbye to the stunning black mesh, chunky heels and Gothic style i have adored all throughout this winter.


I feel that i haven't had enough time to enjoy this dark sultry look for long enough, so i intend to carry my winter clothing as far through spring as the English weather allows me!

i do of course have my absolute favourites that i know i can in no way afford, but a girl can dream, right?

I have had my eye on this dress for months now, it's from topshop and it is in the sale for £75 but the only sizes they have in stock are a 6, 8 & 10, somehow i can't see me fitting into this any time soon.



I can't say I've ever been a fan of high leg boots, but recently they have been growing on me and i soon as i saw these pair from topshop i instantly fell in love, but of course they are also in the sale for £75 and unless i fall into some miraculous money then i doubt I'll ever be able to call these beautiful boots mine, even though i am completely and utterly in love with them!



This absolute beauty is again, from topshop. I have adored the black mesh look this season and then to find a top that is as outrageous and gorgeous as this is somewhat of a miracle for me. Unfortunately it is completely out of stock which is a shame because it was in the sale for £45 and i would of been 100% willing to scrounge some money together on pay day to purchase this beauty!

Fringing

Diesel, Cavalli, VPL

Fringing has been all over the catwalks for Spring 2011, from designer's such as Cavalli to Versace and Ralph Lauren. 
This look is a modern romance of the prairie, it is rustic with a bit of a hippy vibe thrown in for good measure. 

Shorts, Playsuit and White Tee- Topshop,
Shoes- River Island, Jacket- Dorothy Perkins,
Belt- Warehouse, Bag- Urban Outfitters. 
  • Look for items with movement and Texture.
  • Use Colour to break the look up. 
  • If fringing is too much on clothes look for accessories such as bags and shoes.
  • A fringed belt can add texture to an outfit while still being edgy. 

What I wore




Jumper- Tesco
Skirt- New Look
Necklace- River Island
Ring- Primark
Love this cable knit jumper- found it on sale at Tesco, it's 3 sizes too big but can't complain for £5. The skirt is from New Look, necklace is River Island on sale at £3 and the ring is from Primark. I'm always on the look out for slouchy clothes for days with nothing to do. 

Used my Clinique lipstick free from Glamour, it's a nice colour without being overwhelming and seems to be lasting quite well. Not bad for £2!

New writer

As of 10 minutes ago, I recruited Amy Louise, as seen in fashion girl of the week. Amy will hopefully bring another fashion dynamic to this blog and make it more edgy. I'm sure she won't disappoint she's passionate and easily excitable. 
So look out for future posts from her

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!
