Outfit of the Day: Green Metallic Zebras




Hat: H&M, Jumper: Vintage, Jeans: H&M, Backpack: Urban Outfitters & Boots: Office

Hello, 

Check out this incredible jumper I found when I was perusing the LP FashionPhilosophy's store, its green, silver, sparkly and has zebras on it - what's not to like!? Plus it looks great with my office boots, I'm finding myself more and more drawn to silver after previously being a diehard golden only kinda gal, excuse to buy more jewellery perhaps...

Outfit of the Day: One hundred and one...




Bomber Jacket: Vintage (eBay), Jumper: Primark, Necklace: eBay & Jeans: H&M


Hello, 

So, I did it, I bought the 101 dalmatian jeans. When I was little I REALLY wanted some disney clothes, my sister got given a disney skirt and I begged her to borrow it and waited, impatiently, until she grew out of it. Finally I was given a disney outfit for christmas (yay godparents!), I was the fashion queen in my matching 101 dalmatian leggings and matching top. Ohhh yesssss I was so happy - similar to when I got to choose my own clothes and loved my pyjama top and petticoat dress combo! 

So, when I bought these jeans I pondered as to whether I was wondering too close to this glorious memory...well I gave in to my younger self and I'm enjoying it. Anyone bought any memory-driven clothing recently? Dungarees anyone?!

Outfit of the Day: Preppy Pupil



Jacket: MuuBaa, Jumper: Vintage, Collar: Vintage, Skirt: Primark & Bag: Vintage


Hello, 

Please forgive the grane-y nature of these photos, they were taken at half six before I had to rush of to work for a very early start - not much light at that time of an autumn morning! I have titled this post 'Preppy Pupil' as it is perhaps, leaning all too closely to school uniform...but not so much that I found the energy to pick something else to wear!

The only thing I actually wanted to mention is: Jumpers! Hooray for the cool weather and, the allowance for them to find their way back into my wardrobe. This season has a glorious array of jumpers on the catwalk and high-street alike, I could mention some of my favourites but I am sure you are aware - many a magazine have documented the selection. This one is actually stolen, my sister abandoned it due to her move to a flat with limited storage, I decided to adopt it when I went home and cram it into my equally limited storaged abode! I really like the pop of cobalt blue and monochrome pattern combo...I very much want to wander around buying endless jumpers, amongst many other things...but alas, my income does not allow. I have, despite this, bought myself a rather colourful, vintage number from the lovely store belonging to LP FashionPhilosophy which is hopefully making it's journey from America as I write, it will make it's debut as soon as it arrives on these shores!

Outfit of the day: Hounding around!



Jacket: Vintage, T-shirt: H&M, Jeans: H&M, Necklaces: Vintage & Bag: Vintage


Hi, 

This is what I wore today - enjoying a spot of houndstooth. This jacket I bought a while ago...sooooo ahead of the trends! I've actually been obsessed with the whole houndstooth thing for ages, managed to hoard a dress and skirt from when I was a mere teen (yeh I'm that cool and ahead - or boring, as I can still fit such old items into my wardrobe?!!). This outfit was both work and weather suitable (kind of, there is a chance I smelt of wet wool...not so great). Anyway, hoping to be more into the swing of posting regularly, no more of this '5 posts in a month september' malarcky. In my defence they were mostly loadsss of outfits grouped together. Enough excuses, I will be seeing you all again soon.

I pay homage to Stockholm Streetstyle and these lovely ladies....







Do you not think they all look amazing? The head to toe looks pulled off with such a carefree ease - beaut. Also it  has to be mentioned, if I look as incredibly stylish as lady numero three when I am older I will be very pleased! Sorry about being AWOL been horrible and coldy, outfit shots to come tomorrow/later today!

Outfit of the day: Pencil

 Skirt: eBay, T-shirt: H&M, Boots: Office & Earrings: Vintage
 What is my mouth doing here?!!
 Vintage 1920's earrings - yum (and only a fiver!).


Hello, 

This is today, it's a little sunny and I am off to Bristol for a friends birthday dinner. I love a bit of a pencil skirt especially worn in a way that is not the expected, 'elegant and grown-up' style that I originally associated it with. I like playing with the shape and toughening it up with my studded boots and leather jacket (not in pics - oops). 

These earrings on the other hand are pretty separate, I liked the juxtaposition of the studs of these flapper style 1920's clip ons (got to love the old clip ons!). They are my little nod  to the Gatsby trend, so now must go and get myself a drop hem/pep-hem/whatever they're called hem dress, only problem is I'm saving and not meant to be spending, hmm....
