Dress Up To Get Down.

New favourite outfit.

2010-10-25T21:59:00.001+01:00

yes please ASOS. Can't wait for this to appear on the website.

Brides of Christ.

2010-08-28T15:37:00.004+01:00

Ant!podium's 'Brides of Christ' collection SS10. Designed by Australian designer Geoffrey Finch.

Pretty much love all the collections from Ant!podium so far, and this is no exception. Crucifx charms all over dresses and cross charms as decoration on crop tops. Even some velvet in there too! (my velvet obsession has definitely gotten worse) I especially love 'the power of glove' and 'hail mary' dresses (3 & 4).The names for the pieces in the collection are amazing! They are showing for the first time in LFW in September too.

Images from ant!podium.com check out 'totally tarot' that's my ultimate favourite collection still-'magic carpet' mini!

Just in time for Bestival.

The new Barbour style is here! quilted and has a hood! Perfect. Recently I seem to be dressing in a different style everyday, I just can't figure out which direction my style is heading at the moment. Maybe it's because we are in the weird transitional period between Summer and Autumn as I'm finding it hard enough dressing for the weather everyday as it is! I've been wearing a lot of over the knee socks this week-as they can be pulled up or down depending on if it's sunny or not! They were for the majority of the week-up. Goodbye Summer!

Local Natives.

2010-08-23T21:53:00.003+01:00

I'm really loving the whole indian navajo kind of look right now, although I'm not really sure what to call it? Is that the right term for it? Anyway just bought this suede fringe dress (here) in black and am off to Camden market tomorrow (HA!) as it is the only place I can think of that would possibly sell dream catchers and Pendleton-esqe print bags.

Alexander Wang Velvet Backpack.

2010-08-19T09:57:00.007+01:00

OH.MY.GOD. Let's just hope I can find something similar to this in a charity shop soon as as much as I want this, £700 may be a bit much. And more than my rent for a month!

See by Chloe.

2010-08-15T15:27:00.004+01:00

Yes please, get me some velvet dungarees now! Love this whole collection. Am bored of what is supposed to be summer now, what is with the weather-where has the sun gone? hurry up Autumn, not long to go now!

Toothy.

2010-08-08T22:51:00.004+01:00

Is this wrong? They are weirdly amazing though. They are by an Australian jewellery designer called Polly Van Der Glas who also makes pieces from human hair. I have a new fascination with teeth. So much so am considering a tooth tattoo. Check out her amazing work HERE

Finally arrived at work.

2010-08-07T15:25:00.005+01:00

J W Anderson's first womenswear collection. We also have the tartan blanket dress too. Which is literally, a blanket made into a dress. The coat is pretty much like the one I got from ebay. Except I like my ebay one better. But I love this whole collection, I'd wear everything. Buy HERE.

New (old) Things.

2010-08-05T20:05:00.004+01:00

Charity shops at home are the best. And so cheap. Got some sick clothes too, but they warrant a post of their own I think. Finally got myself a backpack too yay- and was only £5.

Crystalised.

2010-08-05T19:53:00.005+01:00

Amazing crystal rings from Etsy and Mango.. Think crystals are my current favourite new obsession. When I was in Greece I found crystal keyrings and turned them into necklaces! Will post a pic soon when I get back to London.

DMxOC.

2010-08-05T16:12:00.004+01:00

OMG. I can't even make a decision as to which I love best. Ponyhair and pebbled leather. Amazing. Good job OC now ships internationally as I need these in my life. I have the heeled DM's in red already and they are one of the comfiest shoes I own. Love love love.

My ongoing velvet obsession continues...

2010-07-28T18:29:00.003+01:00

I don't think I am ever going to get sick of velvet, especially not with dresses like these .

TBA AW10.

Grunge.

2010-03-28T10:21:00.003+01:00

New Ebay purchase. This jacket is absolutely amazing.

Next D.I.Y

2010-02-24T18:38:00.004Z

Just bought £13 worth of crosses to recreate this Jeremy Scott dress. Still searching for the perfect jewels! Sorry I haven't blogged in so long, this is going to change.

perfect white dress please.

2009-11-22T18:56:00.005Z

I need to go and find one like these somewhere. Either in chiffon or lace.

Giles SS10. Best bags ever! I love dinosaurs. I love these bags. I'm constantly checking ebay for something similar these days.

So warm and cosy.

Angel Wings

2009-10-17T17:32:00.007+01:00

How amazing are these rings?I love anything to do with angel wings, a few years ago I even contemplated getting them tattooed on my back! Oh dear. I discovered these beauties thanks to Lulu's blog.

They're by Sowat a French designer whose website is in French which means I have no idea how to navigate it,even with google translator, therefore may never actually be able to buy this ring. Which can only be a good thing this month as I am broke as a joke at the moment.

New Coat.

2009-10-06T00:35:00.005+01:00

I found my perfect (ish) leopard print coat!from ebay, where else? It's a little shorter than what I wanted but it shall do for now. I'm now in search of the perfect pair of tartan/check tapered trousers. Anyone know where I can find some?
I also bought this yesterday which I'm actually wearing but you can't really see because of crappy photo booth. Do not waste your money on it though as half the beads have pretty much fallen off on the first wear,how rubbish is that!

csxoc

2009-09-27T16:41:00.007+01:00

Meow. I'm sick of searching for the perfect leopard print fur coat. (I'm now questioning its existence) So I'm craving this Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony leopard print cardigan instead. Or anything else leopard print infact. Weird since I've always hated the print. Too bad this will be completely out of my price range. I need my leopard print fix!

AY not dead.

2009-09-03T20:05:00.009+01:00

So I finally got the internet in my flat. And I bought the skeleton dress from AY not dead to celebrate. Love this brand. I'm excited about wearing it out tomorrow, I've been looking for a cute skeleton tee/dress for ages after I missed out on my chance to buy that one that Cassie wore in Skins, remember, the one from Topshop? sigh. If anyone has this, I still want it lots. Yes it has been about 2 years. No I'm still not over it.

decisions, decisions.

2009-07-27T21:17:00.004+01:00

Which ones, which ones? i really can't decide! The first ones are from ASOS, the second Kurt Geiger. Hurry up Friday, I need these boots in my life! (I've completely forgotten about the fact I've already bought six, SIX! pairs of shoes already this month. I'm not even that big a fan of shoes! I may have a problem...

These Shorts.

2009-07-13T20:09:00.003+01:00

Please. I saw a similar pair in the ASOS magazine. I have to have them!

Viva Espana.

2009-06-24T20:53:00.003+01:00

I'm off to Spain tomorrow for 10 days. This is probably what I'm going to wear to the airport? I hate the way planes are always so cold. Brr. Can't wait for the sun though. And a tan. When I get back I'll promise to update this blog a lot more, it's just I haven't been very inspired recently. But hopefully that's going to change.

See you when I get back.

Lost&Found.

2009-06-12T19:35:00.003+01:00

Markus Lupfer for ASOS.

I bought the lost one. I now have a grand total of 74p left in my bank account. I'm completely broke, but I think it was worth it.

This summer I'm wearing all my t-shirts like this.

2009-06-05T21:11:00.005+01:00

Although I probably won't look this cool.

Pierced

2009-05-28T19:58:00.003+01:00

I went to get my nose pierced for the third time today. The first time it got knocked out and healed up. The second time it fell out in the shower and I lost it and just never bought a new one. Third time's the charm. Tomorrow is my work social party. And I'm modeling. (Yeah our socials are pretty epic, free bar too) Oh no. I can't even walk in heels. This should be fun. I do get my hair and make up done professionally though. Unfortunately I do not get to keep the clothes!

2009-05-22T19:28:00.005+01:00

yesterdays attempt at pulling an outfit together. I bought this t-shirt ages ago, wore it once, forgot about it. Here it is. I spent an insane amount of money in two charity shops today. Usually I can't find anything in them anymore! Today however, they were amazing. I do love being at home for charity shops. Although I now can't eat until Friday. Broke broke broke.
