About Me

My photo
I am 21, I live in London, I love clothes and I'm a bit of a slave to fashion. My friends know of my addiction to the latest trends and often ask me for my advice which I am more than happy to give(!) I also have a secret habit of styling people that I see on my travels, reinventing an improved style for them in my mind! I've been following a few fashion blogs but haven't really found what i've been looking for, so i've decided to create my own to share my ideas of style with anyone who is interested! I am a working girl on a tight budget (a healthy size 10) and clothes have to come at a price I can afford. I am hoping to show that it is possible to keep up with the trends with buys from the high street. So, I will be posting things that I would want to see in a blog. I hope you like it! I'd appreciate constructive comments. xx

Cruella De Vil.

Autumn Winter Trends 2011-2012

Dalmation Print.

I am absolutely loving this trend! This Cruella De Vil inspired trend flooded the catwalk in many designers Autumn/Winter 2011 collections. A nice change from the over exhausted leopard and zebra prints. This trend was a big part of Topshop Unique's Collection - the designers pieces varied from thick faux fur oversized dalmation print coats to dalmation motif jumpers, killer dalmation print boots and faux fur headbands! This print when worn will definitely make you stand out from the crowd, to break up the overpowering black and white try adding a splash of colour such as red lipstick. Personally I will be going for the dalmation print heels or faux fur headband, an easy way to make a statement without it looking too over the top. I've also fallen in love with the cosie dalmation print onesie so may have to add that to my winter wardrobe!

Pumped Up Kicks.


I thought i'd take a picture of me in my Peter Pan collar top as obviously it's very relevant to the last post. Mine is from topshop, I got it quite a while ago now but never got round to wearing it. I think it would be really nice with some black ribbon tied around the neck but unfortunately I don't have any here!

I've been enjoying a lovely relaxing day today after my first week back at work - was just as hard as I expected going back!! Already feel like I haven't even been away, so depressing! Should be getting a new laptop soon which means i'll be able to blog regularly again, at the minute i'm having to borrow my brothers which is dead slowwwww so it takes twice as long to do anything!

It's a bit of a stressful time at the minute as i'm meant to be moving in with two of my mates but it's been a struggle trying to find somewhere, fingers crossed though I think we've got somewhere but should find out for definite tomorrow!  I was living with my ex boyfriend for two and a half years so will be weird having my own space again, so excited though!

I've also been looking a lot into getting some fashion intern experience, I think it will be the easiest way to get into the fashion world. I've given myself a deadline to find myself a new job as i'm just far too comfortable in my bar job and I know I can do so much better! Hopefully this will be a good year for me, I definitely want it to be a productive year!


Got a cheeky new tattoo when I was away last week, I love tattoo's and have wanted another one for a while.. it's of a dove with a music note in it's mouth (as singing is my other passion) then a little red heart.. guess it symbolizes peace, love and music.

Peter Pan Collar.

One of the hottest trends of the season is the Peter Pan collar. Big for the summer but also a trend that will follow through to Autumn-Winter 2011, definitely making it an investment buy! An easy way to get a chic, cute and girly look. The Peter Pan Collar is 60s inspired and a way to make a strong fashion statement yet so simple and feminine!

"The collar takes its name from the costume worn by the eponymous hero in the first production of J.M Barrie’s 1904 play, but has been brought bang up to date this season and is currently finding favour with style-setters such as Fearne Cotton and Alexa Chung."



For a daytime look pair a Peter Pan collar blouse with a pair of skinnies or a midi skirt for an office look. For the ultimate summer time look wear with a skirt and sandals or for an evening look go for a collared shift dress paired with tights and heels.

Head Scarf - No idea!!!

I am currently enjoying my second week of holiday in North Wales, in a lush village right by the sea called Rhos-On-Sea! Managed to get some photos taken using my mum's camera today. Absolutely loving having this time off - definitely just what I needed! I'm being so lazy but I honestly feel like I deserve to be, I haven't had a holiday in forever!

I bought a few nice things today and got an outfit as I have my friends 21st birthday on Friday, so will post some pictures from that when I get back to London! This outfit really isn't overly exciting I do apologize.. I wasn't feeling too experimental today, most of the clothes I have in my suitcase were meant for Spain where the weather is scorching hot!! I didn't plan the second part of my holiday too well so I will be freezing my ass off this week!

I don't really have anything exciting to report, this is a very quiet village so not too much going on - going to watch the final Harry Potter tomorrow, now that.. is EXCITING! I am a huge Harry Potter geek and I'm devastated it's all finished and yep I'm extremely cool!

I have decided I am going to update my blog twice a week from now on, the same two days each week so if you are regularly coming back to view it then you will no for sure I have actually posted something new. So Sundays and Wednesday will be the two days and may do some cheeky posts in between if I get the time!!

little bad girl.

I must apologize for my lack of posts over the last few weeks, I promised to update daily when I was in Spain but my poor laptop decided to die on me before I left so unfortunately that messed up my plan! Had a lovely chilled out holiday though, absolutely scorching hot, thought I was quite nicely browned but I don't know what it is about England but I look as pastey as ever since getting back! I am so unimpressed!! Anyways, I have a few pictures to upload from my holiday but they will have to wait until I get back to London next week as I need my camera lead! So as i'm hopeless and unable to show you any outfits, I thought I would put some pictures of my favourite bloggers and their outfit posts, people I get my inspiration from etc.. their all pretty hot so i'm sure you will like them.
