Michael Kors Resort'12: Speedo Chic




I often find myself lusting after Michael Kors pieces, and the resort '12 collection is no exception. The deep sea diving-esque structures and neon brights are a combination I am quickly falling in love with..

Hair Inspiration

Due to the extent of heat damage that I've been putting my hair through, I have decided to go for an Olivia Palermo-esque chop. Love this blunt cut and the sun-kissed tipped ends.

June Elle

 The styling in this ELLE spread is so so beautiful. A base of ethnic fringing and turbans, juxtaposed with the modernity of chunky platforms and space-age cuffs. Perfection.

Favourites


Some of my shoes.. including my new ones! From top to right - Black suede pump; New Look, Wooden T-Bar Platform - ASOS, Acne-esque Boot; H&M, Suede Wedges;Topshop, Tan Sandals; Topshop, Wedge Shoe Boots; H&M, Strappy Platform;Topshop. 

As you can see, my shoe wardrobe needs an injection of colour or at least tan. I need to pull myself away from buying black heels...

Rain Go Away




Having a very lazy day today, hiding indoors from the awful weather.  These are a couple of my clutches that I'm thinking about wearing this weekend for bank holiday sunday. The moc-croc one was a rare New Look purchase - although I think it looks more expensive!  The stitching detail envelope clutch was from Topshop not long ago. I love big bags and this can fit all the essentials in it!

Recent Purchases





This H&M cover up/tunic/dress was one of my first summer purchases a while ago.  I have a slight obsession with burnt orange this season.  The necklace was made by a friend - I love it, neck rings are another obsession of mine, and I love feathers too so this is just perfect. It's also nice knowing that nobody else has one just like this.

A new arrival











I did it, I bought the DANY lookalikes! I'm in love. I  plan to wear them with floaty midi dresses and floppy hats - love the 70's a lot!

I love this relaxed beachy outfit that Chanel Iman was spotted in at Coachella. Love the straw floppy hat, I have been looking for one just like it!

Burton's Creations



I just have to say that I think Kate Middleton's wedding gown was absolutely beautiful. I  love the applique detailing on the bottom of the gown, and the fan detailing at the back. I think Sarah Burton at McQueen did such a great job. Kate looked so stunning! I also love her sister Pippa's dress, also by Sarah Burton. I think Alexander McQueen would have been very proud. Two very lucky ladies.

My Coursework Photo Shoot

Emma's Mac - Asos, Belt - Topshop, Bag -Topshop

Biker Jacket - Miss Selfridge, Tights - Pretty Polly, Sandals - Topshop

Here are a few shots from the photoshoot I did with my friend Emma for my coursework. I used clothes from both mine and Emma's wardrobes, and also purchased a few to suit the themes. I am doing an ad campaign for a fashion brand and decided to use the themes "70's", "City Girl", "Biker" and "Cowgirl". I still need to edit them on photoshop and add things to them, but I'm quite happy with the outcome so far.

A mood board for my friend Emma's photoshoot for some of my college coursework. I'm going to take inspiration from Bambi's 'desert biker' photoshoot with plenty of fringing, some western boots and lots of rings.

Derek Lam Fall 2011





Watch the show at NYFW...



My favourite looks from Derek Lam's fall collection. Floaty chiffon cascading elegantly to the floor, juxtaposed with tough leather bodices. No doubt that this is my number 1 for the current season.

Beauty Buys


These are some of the beauty goodies I bought the other day. I had a little splurge in No.7! Ive been using the cleanser, toner and moisturiser for a while and theyre great. I also bought a primer and an illuminater which are also great. I bought the YSL Teint Radiance foundation too, and I have to say, so far it is definatley exceeding my Chanel foundation! The bourjois bronzer is really nice, it isn't orange and it looks and smells like chocolate! Finally, I was going to be the Chanel 'particulere' nail polish, but while I was in H&M I found this nail polish in 'Dust & Diamonds' and it's the closest colour I've got to the Chanel! I was much happier spending £2.99 than £16.85!

All Saints Clutch

Suede Fringe Bag; All Saints
I really like this suede clutch by All saints. I love the unusual detailing and I think it would be lovely in the summer. However - can I justify spending £150 on a clutch bag when I'm saving for a holiday?
