Four Tyres =

A pair of gorgeous of Topshop wedges or a Leather Jacket from Miss Selfridge

Or a fab floral maxi dress or drape dress from French Connection

I hate it when real life gets in the way of my shopping so pay day is coming very soon and I had all these ideas of what I was going to treat myself too. The other day I noticed a flat tyre on my car and as I was filling up it with air I noticed it was in pretty bad condition I checked the others and they were bad too so off to the garage where I was told I needed four new tyres costing £174 OMG what I could buy with this amount of money. New shoes went straight out the window, the gorgeous fringe leather jacket my montly shopping trip was ruined arrghhhhh. So this month I will be on a shopping ban well maybe a little one ;)

Pants Topshop, Jacket Miss Selfridge (old), Shirt Topshop, Tee Farhi, Boots Nine West, Rings H&M and ASOS

So today I am not off on my usual shopping trip to buy fab fashion goodies I am off to the tyre garage to purchase new shoes for my car. I thought I would wear my leather look pants I have not worn them for a while and seeing as the weather has turned wintery again they seem perfect. Yesterday I had a sort out of my jewellery and came across the three necklaces I am wearing today the heart locket is my nans and I have had since I was a little girl. The Christian Dior one is also quite old too I thought I would put them all on today.

Cut Offs DIY, Jacket Miss Selfridge, Belt New Look, Boots Urban Outfitters, Body Topshop

I really do love Kate Moss laid back style and how she looks in denim cut offs. This outfit is based loosely on this. I brought the sequin jacket from Miss Selfridge at Christmas time I have only worn it once but with cut offs it had a feel of Miss Moss festival looks. I had to wear tights as it is still too cold to loose them. She really is the Queen of cut offs. Sorry for miserable face and I am having a bad hair day dont you just hate them :(

My friend has just started a blog it is a males perspective on fashion called i under eye he has a great eye for fashion and lives in London and spends most of his time in Camden check it out for yourselves here

In the dark

Photobucket

Photobucket

A new brand arrived in the Department store where I work last week. I did not pay much attention to them as it was a brand that I had not heard much about and the clothes looked a little sombre. There shop fit is very exciting and has a real futuristic feel about it maybe not really suiting the style of clothes but I wondered past the department yesterday and picked up one of their brochures and I was impressed with what I saw. The brand is Italian and is called Stefanel.

I really love the young feel that there campaign has and I love the way the images were taken behind the scenes before there runway show. I especially love the white jumpsuit it has a very sexy feel about it but the tan accessories play it down and make it work as a daytime look. I also love the denim pants with the drawstring.

What do you guys think?

Top Primark, Harness Etsy, Vintage Leather Shorts Ebay, Clogs River Island

I really enjoy wearing this harness and the best way is with florals. I brought this top years ago from Primark and I wanted to try the harness with a top or dress with a sleeve so I thought this would be perfect. I am also getting used to walking in my clogs they are a little difficult especially with tights. I was going to buy the ones that have just dropped in Topshop but I have made the decision that seeing as clogs are a one season hit I really do not see the point investing in another pair this was a hard decision as the Topshop ones are more like the Chanel and JC ones.

Jumpsuit H&M, Vest Primark, Boots Topshop, Belt Mexx, Necklace Miss Selfridge


I am a big fan of jumpsuits and I brought this one from H&M last year I am surprised that the jumpsuit trend did not catch on. I have been wearing them for a while now and brought a few vintage ones and of course they have become a little easier to find since the High Street caught on to this trend. I have noticed that they are not that common and I wonder why they are a lot more comfortable to wear then dresses and they have a cute quirky twist about them.

ASOS have a great selection of jumpsuits check them out here and there is a style to suit everyone from floral to utility here is a selection of my favorites

Shirt Ronit Zilkha, Skirt River Island, Boots Topshop, Necklace Miss Selfridges

I saw this skirt in River Island a while ago and it had sold out in my size I tried a couple of River Island stores and even online with no luck. I thought I would give ebay a try and I found one and won it last week and it was also £8.00 cheaper :). It arrived this morning and I could not wait to wear it I teamed it with a sheer top which I found in my wardrobe while having a clear out I actually found quite a few sheer tops that I will be wearing soon.

I got one

Jumpsuit H&M, Cardigan H&M, Belt Topshop, Boots Nine West

Todays outfit is from Saturday night. I noticed that Balmain used gold lame in there S/S10 collection so I thought I would take inspiration from there collection with my H&M gold lame jumpsuit and team it with these boots which are also a good copy of there ones.


I popped into H&M on my lunch break and was so excited to see a new delivery of the Garden Collection and the dress that I really wanted was there and in my size :). I also picked up and pair of grey lace trimmed cycling shorts. The dress is so beautiful on and I love the colours especially the mustard I cant wait to wear it and we have the most perfect pair of shoes at Nicole Farhi that would look gorgeous with it sorry for the bad picture but I tried them on today and wanted you all to see them.

Jog On

I tried these joggers on in Topshop the other day as a fan of Wang I thought I would try a Wang inspired sport look. These Topshop joggers looked great on but I did feel that I did not want to spend £20 on a look that I might not like so I went to my local sports store and scored a pair for £8. I wanted to wear them with heels and these lace up boots are perfect today's outfit is an experiment and I must admit I do like the look and next time I will style it a bit more with accessories but in the mean time this is a fab Sunday look seeing as I am chilling with a copy of Elle and my favorite bloggers.

Black & White

Shirt Dress H&M, Jacket H&M, Harness Etsy, Boots Boo Hoo
I have been looking for a white shirt dress for a while and found this one in H&M the other day it is a great length and also has a nice shape to it. The weather was a little warmer today so I decided that this military jacket that I also brought from H&M last year was perfect and gave a little twist to my outfit.

A new H&M opened today in one of my local towns and I was so excited as it was also the launch of the much awaited Garden collection so you can imagine my disappointment that they only had about 15 pieces maximum I walked out of there with nothing. I am hoping that the H&M store in the town where I work have more these are the pieces that I would like to own from the collection.

Rapunzel







My leather harness that I told you about here arrived yesterday I was very impressed with how quickly it arrived. I love it I wore it a little safe today to get people used to it I think they thought I had a dress on as it sits on top of the skirt. I really wanted to wear it with a silk girly dress but I have not really got one for uniform apart from the dress I wore yesterday and I was not going to wear that again today. I took inspiration from Mulberry, Alexander Wang and Alexander McQueens S/S10 collections for my outfit today.


If you are interested in these beautiful harnesses check out Etsy seller Audra Jean.


I want to thank you for your lovely comments and for following me have a lovely weekend xoxo

Good God Clogs

Dress Topshop, Blouse Gap, Bralet Topshop, Biker Jacket ASOS, Clogs River Island, Clutch Ghost

Today I popped into town to look around the shops I was on a mission to find nudes I decided against buying the stripey maxi dress I am going to wait nearer to summer as it will sit in my wardrobe for a couple of months before I can even wear it. I tried on a nude shirt in Miss Selfridge but I wanted to wear it as a dress and it was not quite long enough I found a cute top in New Look went back to get it and it had gone :( I will pick one up tomorrow in the town where I work if they have any left.

I am showing off my clogs today I have a confession I did not actually wear them out as I need to get used to wearing them I am not that great on a platform so I am going to wear them around the house for a bit. I love them though I was not quite sure how to wear them and I think with dresses is the best way I tried them with harems but it looked a little strange. I think these ones are a little more sophisticated then the chunky wooden heel ones that Jeffrey Campbell has done but I am torn between this style and the JC style ones. I also know that Topshop have done a pair very similar to the JC ones I can't wait for them to hit the stores.
