Today I wearing my homemade cut offs with a lace top that I brought from Topshop last week it has the perfect statement shoulder and I can wear different coloured vests under it to give it a different look. I feel like an onion today I have quite a few layers on and I have peeled each layer so you can see. I have got my sequin jacket on with my denim waistcoat over the top of this. I have loaded my rings on which is a great look for A/W. I have finished the look with my Primark tassel boots which are going to still be on trend for next season.

I'm still alive

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. ~John Lennon

I've had a busy, healthy dose of life this past month. And I got a little lazy. And there was no bloggy goodness from me because of that. I will remedy the situation soon.

Stand by.

And have a nice day:)

"Snooze you lose"

This is the Kate Moss for Topshop leather dress that I could of brought on Thursday night. I decided on Friday night that I could justify the price I went on to the website with card in hand, my heart beating fast with a big smile on my face to order it, just to find out that it had sold out. I went over the website over and over again in the vain hope that it had to be there somewhere. It wasn't :(. It is now on ebay for £299.99. So I went through the net and have found a few leather dresses of which do not compare to the cute girly shape of the Kate Moss one but still are great.

This one is by Nicole Farhi I like the shape of this and the olive colour is unusual.

Here is a selection of designer ones and have price tags of £1000 up to £2500 the cute pink one is by Marc Jacobs the one in the corner that looks like the Kate Moss one is Josh Goot and the other long sleeve dress is Jaegar

These are a selection of high street ones. The studded one is by Topshop and is £100 the others are from New Look, Oasis and Warehouse.

I have a saying for this situation and it is snooze you lose.

"Teal baby cord dress"


Photobucket


Photobucket

The tan accessories really stand out against this colour. I also teamed it with another pair of over the knee socks this time these ones did not keep on falling down. Over the knee socks are great for the weather we are having at the moment as they are cooler in this weather than tights so I will probably be wearing these for a while. I also popped in to H&M and they had the fur jacket I wanted so I brought it I am sure you will be seeing it soon.

"Seven year life cycle"

Did you know that we have a seven year life cycle. I didn't until the other day the first cycle starts when we are born and from then on every seven years we will have changes. It is funny because lately I have been thinking about changes and it turns out I am on one of my seven year cycles spooky. Mine is more about my style for a long time I have enjoyed the whole colourful girly vintage dress, tights and cardi look, but lately I have not been interested in this look even returning a beautiful 100% cashmere coral cardigan very odd. I now want a harder rock chick vintage look and feel totally unhappy with everything in my wardrobe (not good). I have experimented with this look a few times but always felt it was not me but lately I have enjoyed my biker jacket and studded cuffs and know that this is the direction I want to go in. Now I do feel this is all down to my seven year cycle.
Now the next move do I stick my wardrobe on ebay and start again or do I work with what I have in my wardrobe and style with accessories?
My friends were totally shocked when I came back from a lunch time shopping spree with a flat pair of biker boots their faces were a picture. People who know me are finding this all a little strange but sometimes change is as good as a rest.

A few things to help me recreate my existing wardrobe. I loved the Darcie DM but these Chelsea boot version are so cute. The suede lace up peep toe boots are great and will look good with girly dresses to give the look a more edgy feel. I have loads of blazers but the lace one is so different and I don't have one that is as long as the one above. I also love fur at the moment and cant wait to see what the High Street offers but I like this waistcoat. H&M have some great fur pieces but are not in store yet. The boots are available at Urban Outfitters and the jackets are all from Topshop.

"Cowgirl boots from Kansas"

Toady I am wearing a T-shirt dress from Day Birger teamed with my biker jacket from ASOS, over the knee socks from H&M, Chanel Handbag from a car boot sale and the cowboy boots are from my Auntie in Kansas a real pair of cowgirl show boots I have had these for years and love them as they are so unusual. My Auntie comes over every year and I always request something mainly cowboy boots they are so cheap and great quality. The first time I asked for a pair of cowboy boots my Uncle asked if they were for line dancing I had to explain that it is a fashion thing, you see in Kansas cowboy boots are classed as work wear or for shows so he thought it a little strange. They have got used to my crazy request over the past years.

The cuffs are by Giles Deacon for New Look and I brought the ring today. I am sure you will be seeing more of this ring.

"Henry Holland for Pretty Polly"


I ordered the Henry Holland for Pretty Polly tights over a week ago from My Tights and they were out of stock dispatch time was 7-10 days urrgghhh.
The post has just arrived and no tights :( never mind I don't really need them yet. I kind of wished now I had made the effort to go to Selfridges when they first launched and got a pair and maybe the chance of meeting Mr Henry Holland himself as he was there that day. Anyway when they do finally arrive I will love them even more. I brought the black and white pair.

"Kate Moss for Topshop"



Kate Moss for Topshop Fall 09 launches in store tomorrow her eleventh collection. I like the whole rock chick look of the campaign but can't help feeling that I have seen it before. The laddered tights look cool with the chosen outfits and the black and white pictures give it the rock edge but as for the clothes well she looks great in them and their are some fab pieces using sequins and fake fur which are both a big trend for next season. I will be making my way down to Topshop to have a look and their is a really cute culotte jumpsuit that for me is worth having a look at. I only own a few pieces of Kate Moss for Topshop but they are very unusual beautiful pieces that have real personality and that is what I will be looking for in this collection.

"Lazing on a sunny afternoon"

I am wearing a floaty chiffon dress by Karen Millen which I brought a couple of years ago teamed with a pair of moccasin boots from New Look. These boots are so comfortable and great for the weather we are having at the moment and they really dress a look down.
