OFF THE WALL

Hey guys, it has been a while since I last posted on here as I have been super busy. Fairly recently I had the opportunity to collaborate with vans and Lookbook and I was so excited to receive these pair of shoes form them. I don't normally wear sneakers in my outfit posts so I was excited to try something new . I really love these shoes and I believe everyone needs a pair of Vans in their lives. You can get these HERE . Hope you like these few shots I was able to get and I will hopefully start blogging more!

PETTICOAT


Hey ! another outfit post wearing OASAP skirt :) this is a sort of 'Ballet inspired look'. Sorry for the repetition in accessories in my outfits I posted the reasons why on my Instagram in case you are curious as to why I keep wearing the same accessories which I guess can be rather annoying so sorry! I wanted to take these shots with Einstein ( my rabbit in the second photo) but he was throwing a fit so I only got a few not so great shots. Also please ignore my frizzy hair in these shots this is what happens to my hair when I don't dry it fully before bed. Let me know if you like the outfit !

MY OWN SHOOT

As some of you may know I work as a stylist for T! MAGAZINE and a while back I was allowed to style and organize my own shoot for the first time. This was very exciting for me as I have complete control and I got my bestie Immi to come and help me with styling.We used all our own clothes from our wardrobe as I did not want to have the hassle of sourcing in clothes from stores and sometimes not knowing what I would have to work with or worrying that clothes wont arrive on time! These shots were taken by our lovely photographer Joanna who is amazing. These shots are in slightly raw form as I did not have jpeg copies of the final ones and did not want to scan the pages but these are the outfits we put together and some other shots! hope you like the outfits and I cant wait for next issues shoots in January which are really exciting! will keep you posted.

PEARLS AND CATS


Hey Guys ! Another outfit post. Here I am wearing practically everything from ROMWE. I absolutely love this cat face pull over ( FROM ROMWE GET IT HERE ) which is so cute , I know I am going to wear it a lot as it is furry on the inside and is just the right length and even has hidden pockets  , so its pretty perfect for me. I am also wearing this gorgeous velvet skirt with pearl detailing ( GET IT HERE ) and lovely pink bag ( GET IT HERE) . 
The magazine in the last shot is VIVI which is my new Favorite magazine which they don't sell in the UK so my friend from Japan has to get me them when she goes back home I recommend buying it if you are travelling  over there! 
Hope you like the outfit, and P.S anyone else feeling christmasy ?

The Lady of Shalott


Hey guys , so this is my Halloween costume and although the costume in itself is not haunting the story behind it is!
If you are not already familiar with the story I'm sure you would recognize the beautiful Pre-Raphaelite painting of the 'Lady of Shalott' by John William Waterhouse,completed in 1888. This painting was based on the poem by Tennyson about the lady of shallot who was condemned to only view life through a mirror, one day she saw the knight Lancelot through a mirror and turned to glance towards Camelot after which she was cursed and fled on a boat.She was found frozen to death a few days later by some knights. This painting captures that moment as she sails towards certain death.
My look is inspired by the painting and unfortunately as I don't have a boat, or any lakes nearby I improvised  trying to keep certain aspects of the painting and poem such as the three candle sticks representing life (two of them blown out) ,the mirror and the tapestry of all that she saw in life through the mirror. The costume is 100% DIY including the floral crown. Hope you like it and happy Halloween!

MINT


Hey guys , so this post is something slightly different as these are actually pretty old shots but as I have only recently started this blog I realize that I have a ton of old looks and photos to share! I started my lookbook account a while back and I have a whole bunch of shots that I would like to share as on lookbook.nu you can only post a collage yet on my blog I have much more freedom ! so I hope you don't mind that I am going to be posting a whole bunch of old photos ! But some of them I think are worth sharing and as I don't really have a photographer anymore my old ones are in more interesting settings! hope you like :)

BRICK LANE HAUL


Hey guys, just a quick outfit (WEARING: Jeffrey Campbell, socks: DIY, skirt: OASAP , top: ROMWE ,bag : chanel , jacket :new look)

I also wanted to show my recent purchases from brick lane. The boots are 'nighthawks' from office , I have wanted these shoes for ages and fell in love with the original CHLOE boots which cost a whopping £1,000 pounds , I got £20 pounds off these so I paid £60 which is still quite a lot of money but I think these are a good investment.
I also bought a fur coat from a vintage store for £5, a short kimono jacket for £5 , a blouse with cute dogs on it for £5 and a pink dress (which I wore to the wedding ) for £10.
