Out of Season Purchase ;)

So, i bought these about two months back. They were in the sale obviously, as the time for wellies had long passed us, so they were only £12 i think. I love anything and everything union jack so im now waiting for some rain or snow ;) Oh yeah, i bought them from m&m direct.

Paolo Roversi

The Man Himself.

Some of his work.

Everyone's talking about it. Love it or hate it, you can't deny she still looks gorgeous.

I digress.

I know this isn't anything to do with fashion but i love music almost as much as fashion. The effect it can have on people, the support it can offer. There is a song for every emotion and situation. Music is a way of life, like fashion is. I think its amazing.
Listen to Olly Murs' debut single 'Please dont let me go'.
I think its such a good song, and if you think like me, its not so bad on they eyes ;)







Enjoy xx

girlies gone.

Morning!

So, i picked up a copy of Company this week. I get LOOk delivered, but its gone missing :( bad times. So I've comforted myself with company.

I've decided to give a quick mention to Jameela's (T4 presenter) column. There are a few little sections to her column but the one i always flick straight to is her 'fashion forecast'. In her forecast she tells you what you should buy, bin and keep. I took a special shine to her 'bin it' section. Here is what she wrote:

Bin It: Girlie. We've done floral and floaty. It was lovely, but now we're going goth. Think ripped denim shorts, slashed vintage tee's and clumpy boots.

Honestly, i couldn't agree more! I just didn't suit this girly, frilly stage we all seemed to go through. The only think i managed to find was a skirt, orange and floral. Its nicer than it sounds.

I felt rather left out as my friends all look lovely in flowers and all but know its my turn ey? I have quite a different style to most of my friends, but i don't care. i cant stand the thought of being ordinary. So girls. Set the flowers aside and go a bit luxe grunge!

I quickly looked around for a few items to give you some inspiration!

River Island. Sorry for the bad quality image.

Hollister. £50

Idol at New Look. £20

Have a good day!V xx

Long time, no type.

So, it's been quite a while since i've written a post. I have to admit, i have had plenty ideas of what to blog about but not very much motivation. I've been through the 'nobody is reading it so what's the point?'. After a while of thinking like this every time my blog came to mind i finally came to my senses.
Whats the point?
I enjoy it. I love fashion, i love talking and so this is pretty much a perfect match!

Anyway.
Since my last update i've had my first ever experience at working, retail and the real world! Work experience is compulsory for most year tens across the country i think and while some of my friends were dreading the prospect of spending a week doing menial tasks with people they didnt know, i was quite excited! My placement was at New Look. It was only five days but it was an experience. I spent atleast 3 hours each day in the shoe department. Sometimes a whole day, which did get slightly tiresome by the end. At the times when the store was busy, i loved the customers that put the shoes they had tried on back where they had found them but when the store was having a lul, i would hope that they would just leave them strewn on the floor, just so i had something to do! It wasnt all shoes though, there were fitting rooms, sales, pricing and stock. There were three others on work experience with me, two of which i knew, and we exausted that we had to resort to sitting in the lift on our 30 second journey to the second floor. Although at times it was mind numbingly dull and others you were expeected to have seven pairs of hands, it was certainly an experience and i met some lovely people there. Done any work experience lately?

Hope you've all had a good start to summer :)

A fashion way forward..

I Love (Yes, so much so it deserved a capital L!) Forever21! I think the clothes are amazing. Especially the tee's and vests. I'd buy almost everyone of them if i could! Unfortunately for Forever21 has not yet graces us with its presence in the UK. Bad times :( I have heard rumors of it coming over here, to Birmingham maybe, in autumn? Of course, you could fill up your online basket and have it shipped to the UK, but that costs a lot. Some people choose to use company which set up an address in the USA for you, they then get it shipped to their warehouse and store it. They will then send you your items for a less pricey postage and packaging. You'd still have to buy a lot of things to make it worth while. I guess I'll just have to sit tight and wait for my darling forever21 to venture on over. For the meanwhile, go on girlie's, fill up those baskets http://www.forever21.com/default.asp. I guarantee you'll find something you like on there! The day will come when we'll be able to continue to the checkout or even go and collect in store! I'm waiting on the day.

Loves xx
