Hey there sailor!

Now in my opinion you can never go wrong with a bit of stripe, this dress is one of my favourites as the material is relatively thick so it sucks me in slightly, which is always a bonus as horizontal stripes aren't the most forgiving. It even has some cool military style detailing on the shoulders, although silly me forgot to take a good picture of this, my apologies.

I paired this dress with my incredibly awesome cut out boots, which I am noticing are becoming an even bigger trend, they are everywhere (literally) and I have to say Topshop have some amazing new ones in. I think my overall finished look has an understated rock edge about it, which I love because I never like to look like a try hard (even if I have spent over an hour on it).

So what do y'all think?

Ohhh I also have a little bit of exciting news to tell you all, I am finally employed and by no other than L'Oreal as a Digital Executive!!! eeee it is still hard for me to contain my overwhelming sense of excitement, I start on Monday and so I have frantically been trying to pull together some form of a work wardrobe.

Any who I am off out to my first blogger event tonight, hopefully it should be fun but I'm still a bit nervous about not knowing anyone, so wish me luck :)

Edward Scissor Hands

I am lovinggggg the weather at the moment, I can have my legs out all the time, even if they aren't that tanned.

So today I decided to bring out an old dress that I actually haven't worn that much and I really don't know why because it's gorgeous. I think I have fallen in love with it all over again, mainly because it looks like Edward Scissors hands has taken a liking to it. I then paired it with my Topshop patent boots and another of my Dad's hats (but shhh let's hope he doesn't read this!).

I also 'borrowed' my Mum's black cross necklace and layered it with my own cross necklace, which was actually given to me for my Baptism, when I was little, some things just don't go out of fashion.

Does anyone else like 'borrowing' things off their parents? Or am I just weird?!

Floral Dress

Hellooo...

The weather has been beautiful today so much so that the boyfriend and I rushed to Tesco's to get some stuff to have a BBQ with before the sun disappeared. I was trying to be healthy and opted for chicken and prawn kebabs. However, I still don't think they are quite as good as the old sausages and a burger.

Today I decided to wear this lovely floral dress from Topshop, that had unfortunately shrunk in the wash so it definitely wasn't to be warn outside of the garden! I then paired it with my studded belt and my black knee high socks as I never want to look too cute, people already say I have a baby face, so I have to try my hardest not to look like a cute little girl! I guess when I reach 30 and are still being ID'd I will be thankful for my youthful looks.

Dress - Topshop
Socks - Primark
Boots - Topshop

Rings - collection of Topshop, Urban Outfitters and Italian markets.

I hope you are all making the most of the last of the weekend sunshine.

Wish List of the Week

Hello everyone,

Sorry I have been lacking on the posts recently, I have been busy organising a surprise 21st birthday party for my boyfriend, which turned out to be not such a surprise in the end! Apparently the fact I was applying fake tan and buying shoes and generally making more effort than normal, meant a big event was going down.

Anyway here is what I have been lusting after this week. I know all these picks aren't full of the most summery of colours but for some reason I am always drawn to blacks and greys. Also I am in love with anything that flows at the moment, especially things that I can twirl and prance around in and I think these picks are perfect for that. Generally, I just want to enjoy wearing a skirt/dress rather than jeans which I can be found wearing most days.

From left to right:
Spike Necklace - Topshop
Chain shoulder tunic - Topshop
Maxi - River Island
Dress - Miss Selfridge
Belt - Topshop
Black Mesh Wedges - River Island

What do you guys think to my wish list? Is there anything you are lusting after this week?

Love

LFW: Prints & Patterns

Hello everyone,

So it's finally the weekend and after what I think has definitely been a long a stressful week due to essay deadlines I cannot wait to destress at London Fashion Weekend :). Well it's just a quick post today as I happened to be browsing through some of the collections at London Fashion Week and thought you guys might like to have a look at Peter Pilotto's Spring collection. His designs are amazing and caught my eye straight away, the vibrant colours, prints and patterns create a stunning mixture which are sure to make you the centre of attention. Each outfit is a work of art and his attention to detail is incredible. Below are some of my favourites...

I especially liked this look below as I love how the colours work together and the pattern is very slimming in all the right places, which is never a bad thing. It also captures the sporty feel which is all the rage now, so if you like this look as much as me, here is how to 'get the look'.

Black long sleeve top - new look £5.99, black leather skinny belt - uponabelt.com £28, shoes - topshop £65, dress - asos £55.

Do any of you have a favourite collection from London Fashion Week? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Till next time..

Ally J
