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



P.s. i have just found this article about my above babble!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/7783295/Forever-21-enters-UK-fashion-fray.html

you get your kicks for free..

Had a good day doing things the wrong way.
Had a good day doing things the wrong way.

Had a good day doing things the wrong wa-aa-ayy!

Its been a long day. Four exams, two of which were physics, i could honestly feel the tears coming on. But they're out of the way at least, one more to go this year, and then I'm finished!

Now, i don't know about you lot, but i love me a bit of retail therapy? Yes, i thought you did too!Unfortunately, I'm broke. But when has that ever stopped me before, its time to fill up those online baskets girls!

Maybe this is a little sad, but nothing cheers me up better than browsing ALL the clothes websites i can find and picking out everything i even remotely like. So today, I'm going to share a few favourites that i have found rummaging around online.. enjoy! x

PRODIGYRED.COM

£18

I dont know about you, but im getting a bit bored of the denim shorts now. So i've been happy to see lots of new styles, designs and patterns of shorts come out for this summer. This has to be one my favourites out of all the ones i have looked at. I love the colour, i always take a moment to look at clothes this colour! They're satin with a beautiful tye around the waist. I just think they're the perfect item for summer, don't you?

TOPSHOP:





















£28
It's not very often that i find something that i really like on the topshop website. I like alot of the clothes, but they're just not me. So as i was flicking through it was a pleasent surprise when this lovely caught my eye. This brings the 50's to 2010.
I love the pattern, and they style. I think this cover up is the best item i've ever seen on topshop website! But i think maybe its a love it or hate it piece? What do you think?













£36
One thing that no one can deny is that Topshop knows how to do patterns! This dress is really versatile, you can dress it up or down simply with a change of shoes. Also take a look at Topshops shorts, they have some great patterns aswell.













BOOHOO.COM





£12
Now, when the floral print re-emerged i was wary at first to try something new. (It always takes me a while to try new things but im working on it) Eventually i tried on some floral print tops adnd they didn't suit me at all, which knocked my confidence a bit as all myfriends look lovely in theirs. However i braved the floral print again, but instead of a top, i chose a skirt. I loved it, i know own two floral skirts. They just add so much colour to a wardrobe! Give one a go.





£9

I've always loved the ripped leggings or jeggings look but i've never been brave enough to give it a go. Yes, i am very annoyed at myself.
I think i would have prefered these in a bit of a darker colour, but other than that i think these are really lovely and i'd put them with a long tee and some boots, or maybe some shoes like the river island ones (seen above). Also i think the price is really good for these.

RIVER ISLAND:

Little bit of a bargain for you all now, this cute little thing comes in at only 99p! Its perfect if you just need a spare bag to fold up and put in the bottom of your handbag/school bag etc incase you find yourself in need to extra space or your strap breaks? This isnt the only one they do for this price, theres another one or two.

love. love. love. love.

Theres a lot of the trainer/sneaker heal style shoe around at the moment, and i think its a great idea. They look so original and edgy. They add an extra something to a look. These are £54.99, so they're a little bit out of my price range but if you know you'll get your moneys worth! I also wanted to show you these fabulous shoes, that were the same style as these, but from new look for £30, unfortunately i couldnt find them on their site.

NEW LOOK:

£10

This 'Paisley Cami Top' was the first item to come up on Tops in New Looks women's section and i absolutely loved it, but i always like to look through everything incase there is something better. However, while scrolling down all of the items, i kept thinking back to this top and i scrolled faster and faster just so i could click back to the first page to see this one again! Pair it with some cute denim shorts and some glads and you've got a casual summer look right there!

I love the military look, i know it was massive a while ago, but i just wanted to show this. I found this in new look for £22, however i bought one that is practically identical from internationale for £15. These jackets work with so many different combinations, a personal favourite of mine is a simple white tee or vest top with some black skinnys or straights and some matching navy dollies.

£25
I am SO happy that denim jackets are making a comeback, i adore them! This one is slightly more than i spent on mine, which is from new look also, but just as nice, and the quality is really good. I wear mine with anything and everything. Summery day dresses, leggings, evening dresses, skirts etc.

I started this yesterday evening, but didn't have time to finish it :)

Worth a thousand words?

My ticket :)

There were so many amazing designs, and credit really is due for the designers. You could see the hard work and dedication that you need to produce collections as fabulous as these. Here are a few favourites, any opinions?
