An Air Of Sophistication

Dress:Mango Jacket:Miss.Selfridge Boots:Topshop

Hope everyone is having a lovely week. This outfit is heading slightly more towards A/W with the darker blue/grey animal style stripes and the leather jacket just grunges it up slightly. This is not something I usually purely because of the length, as just above the knee doesn't really suit me but I've always wanted to wear this length so now I'm going for it.However this more fitted style looks better on someone with curves and not straight up and down like me, but I do really want the white midi on asos as seen on http://www.llymlrs.com/ I might have to purchase. I will do trend no.2 for the AW trend guide tomorrow.

AW'12 Trend Guide Part1

Oh it's been a while, sorry about that I didn't even realise I'd been so neglectful of my blog- but anyway way I'm back just like school!

AW is my favourite time for fashion, I just love when the August and September issues of Vogue and Elle come out with the new season runway edit, I actually get really exited it's a bit weird I know but I'm sure all fashion geeks do! Which is why I'm gutted I can't go to London's Fashion Night Out:( I've been wanting to go for years but never can because of school so next year WILL be the year.

Gothic
Think leather, lace, buckles and belts and then of course the crucifix accessory which is everywhere, you can't miss it. But this goth is not made to scare it's more dark, glamorous and seductive. Purple and oxblood are huge colours for this trend too not just black.

Dress: Asos

Batman crop-top: Lazyoath

Shoes: Asos

Skirt, leather and lace (two in one with this): Topshop

Lips in Inhibition: Topshop

Earings: Asos

Dress:Zara This is my favourite as I think it's the perfect to demonstrate all that is the gothic trend. It has lace, leather and that feminine peplum detail which makes it ooze gothic romance. 

I've decided because there is 6 key trends I'm going to spread them throughout the week, so there's not just one huge post.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I'm going to make sure I get some outfit posts done next week, it's also payday (yay) I'm in desperate need of some new clothes!

Post Reading Blues

Hi everyone, I'm back from an absolutely wicked weekend at Reading festival. I got back yesterday but haven't had chance to do an proper post, because I've basically been sleeping and eating all day- you have no idea how good it was to sleep in a bed instead of a hard tent floor!

So besides the uncomfortable sleeping situation, over priced food and the most revolting toilets ever, even worse than port-a-loos ( think slum dog millionaire) the music was incredible it's so hard to chose who were my favs because everyone I saw was so good live! But Kasabian, Florence, Foster the People and of course  the Foo Fighters were rockin' (I just thought I'd try out a new expression, so sorry if rockin' sounds a bit naff)

For today's post I've put together a montage of Reading photos, ooh also I casually met Jay Camilleri, male model and starred in the E4 modelling reality show 'Dirty Sexy Things' he was pretty para, but still looked gorgeous (models do really look amazing all of the time).

Festival Fever

Flower garland: New look Maxi dress:Oh My Love

Hey everyone, sorry about the lack of blogging in the last week and the all important Olympic post that I never did (apologies!). I don't think you needed my rambling to tell you how amazing it was- the spice girls and David Gandy- wow, a definite zigazig aaah for him! And of course I had my dreaded AS results on Thursday, but  fortunately they weren't as bad as I had expected AAB and then we have Biology (won't mention that one though, as was beyond awful) 

Anyway back to the fashion stuff. I'm heading to Reading festival on Thursday, so excited but also terrified at the same time. Is anyone going/been before and has any nice advise that will calm me? So I brought this dress from Topshop and it was at the absolute bargain price £10 from £45. I love the tie-dye three toned colours and is perfect festival fashion whether worn with sandals, biker boots which are as big as wellies this festival season or even wellies it works. Speaking of biker boots, my favs are the Ash Trashbis studded biker boot, as seen on Frankie Sandford;  however they obviously have a heftier price tag attached to them(try £350) but these style of boots are literally in every high street store for £80 max at the moment. Also head-dresses are always huge for festivals, but flower garlands are 'it' 'the must have'  this year and yaay because you feel so pretty, elegant and mystical with this boho style that is just as easily worn out of festivals too.

I am sort of in love with these- Biker boot

These River Island ones are a purse friendly £75.

Is anyone going/ been to any festivals this year?

Do You Want To Go To The Seaside?

Shirt: Primark Shorts: Vintage Levis Necklace: H&M

Just a quick post today because I'm sure everyone is getting ready to watch the Olympics closing ceremony, I know I am! I will do an Olympic inspired post tomorrow after what I'm sure will be an amazing ceremony, hope everyone enjoys it and has had a great weekend.

All Saints

Dress; All Saints Boots; Dune

Hi everyone, I've had this dress from All Saints for a while but I haven't really worn it since winter. Anyway I adore All Saints, I love the grungy style which makes you feel a little like a rock star, unfortunately  I haven't got one of the leather jackets:( which are amazing but I just don't have the £300-£400 to part with. 

I also have the dreaded driving test tomorrow (I'm sooo scared it's unbelievable) I just really hope I pass!

Enjoy the rest of your Monday

Dress: River Island (old-last years)

Hope everyone's having a lovely week and enjoying the Olympics. I have to say I'm actually in the spirit of it now, I've only really watched the gymnastics and eventing but it's been so good.

I've brought summer back out today with this floral dip-hem dress from River Island. It feels like I should be on the beach or somewhere when I wear it, because it's all floaty (sorry I know that's not a real word, but you know).

Have a great rest of the week, I'm off to my James Bond party tomorrow.

Ksww, xoxo
