American Style?

I was snooping around some clothes store websites. The usual ones for me; new look, river island, topshop, occasionally asos and some others.

To be honest, not many things had caught my eye so this look around was rather swift, until I reached asos. There was a little feature showing/advertising a new 'look' called 'All - American girl". The clothes the model was wearing were really nice, short-ish floral long sleeve and check skirt. I like the stereotypical (?) American style we've seen working it's way into stores all over the country, most commonly through the varsity jackets (love!), but now it seems to be a little less obvious but I love it all the same, possibly more. Anyway, I decided to take a look. I'm glad I did.

Here are some (a lot) of my favourite pieces/styles from the look.

The top three and the fifth are particular favourites but I do have a slightly strange love for tops like the one in the penultimate image. You know the whole different colour collar and sleeves thing, I think the love stemmed from watching so much one tree hill.

Overall though, I love the contrast between some of the looks. Being that some are incredibly girlie (not a look I usually go for) and some just aren't. The colours in some are a lot darker and the actual style is different but it still represents the overall style of all-American girl, if you follow? I would completely understand, given the last bit of that sentence.

What are your thoughts and opinions on this style?

It's Halloween Soon..?

I FEEL LEFT OUT ;(


ha. jokes. but seriously, halloween has never been a big deal at all for me and it seems to be for everyone else! I mean i'm fifteen and have only had to dress up for halloween like three times.
How deprived i have been ;)
What is the actual date of halloween, i'm told it's soon?

It wont let me stop typing in italics? the button isnt even pressed for it?! madness. Oh well, we'll manage.

Anyway... I went shopping today :D AND the even better part, I actually brought things! ahhhhhhh!

- I've just made the screen zoooom out loads and now it looks really really tiny. I clicked on a magnifying glass (thinking it was the zoom) and it was a search engine, so now i'm typing in this really small screen - it's a little bit cute -

Wow, i digress. Anyway. I went in about every shop we could find. i got some primarks version of uggs, i'm kind of over uggs right now but the other pairs of boots i tried on didnt look/feel right, one pair i tried to try on and my foot was too wide, which is sad because i'm told i have very narrow feet. bit of a shame.
I also brought a few vest tops, i wear them ALL the time. they go with/under anything and with the weather recently, an extra layer is always a plus. Oh, i bought THE most amazing pyjama bottoms/trousers/bums (whatever you call them) ever.. yes i am wearing them as i type this. They are like blue, dark blue and white check pattern but like a thick check pattern, if you get me?
Got myself a hugely thick and veryyy long navy blue scarf, i've yet to style it so it doesnt make my head look 3 times the size, even my mums had a go.
Got the usual hair scrunchies/bands (whatever you call them) and bobby pins - i will no doubt loose all of these within a month. And some socks. OOH and i also bought a red check top, maybe a little tartan-ish? yes, i am also wearing this as i type. It's a kind of rule/tradition in our house that you have to wear what you brought when you get home. and besides my pjs and this top make me look a treat, a very warm treat.

I stillllllll haven't found anywhere with barry M mushroom nail paint/varnish (whatever you call it.. jokes this is becoming tedious now, even for me).

I still need a coat. It's getting colder and cold requires a coat. I have saved for quite a while in order for a little shopping trip, one much like todays in fact, and so hopefully i can find one that i can afford. or maybe the parents chip in a little as a christmas pressie? we'll see.

Currently listening to Katy Perry - Not like the movies and i LOVE firework.
And anything Taylor Swift. Also love the white tie affair - mr. right since hearing it on some replayed episode of the hills. ♥

And i love hollyoaks laterrrr, ah and a double episode of one tree hill on monday - yes! but its the end of the season - sad times.

Oh, i've written rather a lot. And not in my usual style i feel. I've not really thought that much about what i'm writing (you can probably tell) and this style kind of reflects my thought process sometimes. ha.

Haha, i'm sorry this is a text - heavy, picture - empty post :( I'll try get some photos of some of the stuff i got today taken and up soon. - maybe i'll slip a picture in at the top (something halloween related possibly!)

Thankyou for reading - especially if you stuck it right to the end, probably deserves more of a welldone than a thankyou?

Hope you've had a good day?

it was acceptable in the 80's..

Hello lovelies! Last night the 15th episode (Don't you forget me) of season 7 aired in the UK last night and they took us on a little trip back to the 80's. The girls did so much better than the boys with their outfits and hair, but the boys had a good go and i suppose it's easier to crimp long hair! As I was watching it last night, I knew that I would have to do a post to show off these beauts!

Austin Nichols as Julian

Mitch Ryan (Alexander) & Sophia Bush (Brooke)


Sasha Jackson (Kylie) & Lee Norris (Mouth)

Jana Kramer (Alex)





Shantel Vansanten (Quinn) & Bethany Joy Galeotti (Hayley)

Did you see it, what did you think?
Apologies if your in America and this has already aired :)
