Double Take

Behind the awkward pose, classy label showing and nostral making an appearance is my outfit for the day. Simple stripe dress, of which I cannot remember the last time I wore it, but it was an easy thrown on for a day infront of the laptop. Tumblr, blog and asos fashion finder updates make up my day along with endless cups of tea and pesto pasta for lunch.

Not one of my most exciting posts...

Over Board

It's now autumn but i'm making the most of the sunshine today.

I really want to get my nose pierced but i'm not sure if it'll suit me... I don't want to look like a chav and I have the pain threshold of a two year old child, but I think they look so pretty. I'm so bad at making decisions...

Off to work!

This is what boredom does...

Happy Monday! This is what boredom does... I was supposed to start my summer project for uni but i'm procrastinating (as the above image shows). I need to find some motivation and drive from somewhere. But for now I think ill just watch housewives of new york and look at endless pictures of stylish people on tumblr and style.com. Walk to dog and look oh so glamorous with my coral lipstick picking up dog shit.

Cup of tea first.

Coral Studs

I've always been a huge fan of the coral lips that grace the runways almost every season. (Although they're usually featured on big pouts, rather than skinny lips as the likes of mine) But still I wear it. I have many, but this one is my favourite - Barry M 147. Yum. Today I wear a cotton and mesh batwing top, with shoulder detailing. Off to get my favourite pair of platforms re-heeled. Cafe De Paris tonight.

Black, Gold and Leopard Print.

So I got my leopard print 'Madisons' from topshop. And they're even more amazing in real life. They're really going to pull my winter wardrobe together. I also brought two plain tops from zara. One black silk and cotton with gold zip detailing, and one beige cotton t-shirt which are perfect 'throw ons' for those colder days.
The ring is a belated 21st birthday present from both grandparents and my parents. I saw it in a vintage jewellers in our local town, I fell in love with it instantly. It's 18 carat gold and an oval cut sapphire that appears to be black. I'm so happy with it, I really wanted something simple and not from a generic highstreet store. This bad boy is never leaving my finger!

Perfect Camera Bag

I'm in love. I found this camera bag on one of the blog's that I follow '5 inch and up'. I'ts perfect in everyway, from the sleek metal chain to the beatiful neutral colour that would match my wardrobe and everything in it. I need this beauty in my life. Probably don't have the budget for it though!

Sunset Kicks

This is when I become a geek with my camera. I'm obsessed with taking photos of the sunset. it drives my boyfriend crazy. He's like 'it's just another sunset, they're all the same' But thats why I love them. Because they're not all the same. Rant over. I just love sunsets.

Take Me Out.

Another look from the confides of my bedroom. I'm loving denim shirts at the moment. I've never been a massive fan of double denim, especially on 50 year old european men, but the black jeans ground this look I think... I added a chiffon bow to the neck to give this androgynous style outfit a soft accent along with the bright pink lipstick. I'd definitely wear this outfit out, and put on my black loafers and leather jacket for the day. All it needs to complete it is a pair of raybans. Next investment?

Wish List

 Current Wish list. 

I'm loving these wine red jeans from topshop - I have then in black and they are the most comfortable things ever! (and im not a jeans fan at all).  The leopard print loafers, Topshop, would look amazing with these for uni.

Also had my eye on the Mark Jacobs watch - however it's £179 and I don't have that kind of money to be spending on a watch, so these vintage style watches that you get in a pair for £35 from ASOS.com are looking like the most likely option.

Lastly i've always been a shirt/blouse kind of girl, although the above shirts are two completely different styles, you can never have too many. I'm looking for a white fitted piece and a dip hemmed shirt also. Both would look amazing also with the wine skinny jeans and a leather jacket.

Miss Wendy.

I brought this peter pan collar dress quite a while ago (too long ago to take it back!) and I haven't worn it yet... I love mixing chiffon with masculine fabrics like leather so when I brought the hat and leather jacket this outfit came into my head. I might swap the waist strap and put it under the collar as a bow to make it a bit more individual. And put some silver armor jewellery with it...

Apart from that I'm just not sure where I'd wear this outfit! Any ideas welcome...
