obession with marina.

I cant stop listening to this song, and the music video is just just awesome which is directed by Kinga Burza who just makes the whole video even cooler, as she has directed for people such as The Thrills, The Rakes, The Teenagers, Calvin Harris, Kate Nash, Ladyhawke, La Roux, The Noisettes and Katy Perry. Love the whole Americana/ Hollywood/cheerleader style especially the fringe white sequin crop top, it really suits the singer and the overall video. Seriously check it out:

sunny day.

Today has been such a beautiful day, and made me in high spirits, maybe spring is coming early, as it was really warm too! So today I decided to photograph my textiles project that I was doing all that sewing for a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoyed making the two garments, see what you think.

I was suppose to being to a band night tonight however as i have been so busy with my art i decided to pass, also as i am going to London on Saturday to see the Vincent Van Gogh exhibition, i need my rest. i also received a pair of tapered trousers in the mail today which i ordered at the beginning of the week, and shall most probably wear them to London, shall post photos!

Sorry i didnt post yesterday, it was my dad's birthday and so we went out for nice meal, also during the day i did a photoshoot where a modelled my friends clothes entitled 'Superhero Pop' i will also be taking part in the fashion show next week where i so i shall have to post pictures. As for now anyway i thought i would show you some photos taken by Eleanor Hardwick, i came across her about a week ago as i figured out she was the photographer for the Jack Wills catalogue. i love the photography in the catalogue as they have some weird and wonderful qualities to each picture, they also remind me alot of Tim Walker photography. Here are some of her individual works:

pretty woman.

Yesterday i went shopping, however i was pretty disappointed with some shops, didn't find anything really, however i do suggest looking in Zara, as they have some amazing shoes in! I also went prom dress shopping with friend and then when we got back we pigged out and watch pretty woman, what a great film. Here is what i wore:

Wearing: vintage cardigan, riverisland floral top, yuki slip dress,h&m tights, and urban outfitters boots.

i need sleep.

Sorry i haven't been posting as frequently lately, I've not been feeling very inspired lately, I think its due to all this terrible weather. Also I've been very busy and its kinda running me down. However I am feeling slightly better after tonight, having gone to a private exhibition. I really enjoyed it and loved the art. It was an abstract piece based on memories and landscapes but you could interpret it as something new each time you looked at it. Here is what i wore, its kinda simple:

(wearing: vintage lace top, Zara skirt, Republic leather jacket, Accessorize belt, Topshop shoes)

Also I've just been checking style.com for London fashion week, and my main favourites were Burberry Prorsum and Vivienne Westwood and Topshop Unique for pure awesomeness. Well okay they had more than that, for Burberry Prorsum the fur coats (beautiful) and boots and even snakeskin leggings, i know sounds gross but all together the whole collection looked totally amazing, in my opinion Burberry Prorsum was one of the best shows of London. Topshop Unique, was just crazy, it had an animal fur theme, with leaves scattered along the catwalk, big eyebrows, messy hair, fur animal hats, knitted leggings, you kind of have to see them to understand what i mean! And Vivienne well she just is London fashion. Also i loved Erdem and Marios Schwab for their dresses, especially loved the collars that were added to dresses for a more quirky look, also the bold prints used in Erdem made a more hard look for them but i think it worked well. However I'm not gonna lie i was pretty disappointed with Charles Anastase this year it just didn't seem like a collection, and i just didn't make sense. I missed seeing Luella's designs too. www.style.com

sweet disposition.

So today i wanted to do a post on the Elle Style awards as I was looking as what specific people were wearing last night because i was bored and my day was very unfashionable (I'm also really behind on looking up on London Fashion Week too). However i didn't know whether to or not as i am not into the whole celebrity culture thing, i mean Cheryl Cole's separation from Ashley was on the main bbc news yesterday, i mean what is going on with the world. Anyway back to fashion, what i mean is some celebrities are hailed as 'style icons' just for wearing a label. For example Kristen Steward she can obviously afford a haute couture piece and flashy shoes and somehow that makes her fashion icon. I applaud the people that don't just wear a dress for the label, as they wear it in their certain way and style it. For example you would know what i mean if i stated names such as Alexa Chung, the Olsens and Daisy Lowe. They truly love fashion and it shows, in how they wear all their elements that create an outfit. In a way this can relate to street style fashion and blogs, as what i love about it is that its raw and unique and they all create an outfit with elements of their personality within it. But anyway enough of the random ramble and trying to establish why I'm writing this for fashion purposes i shall show my favourites of the event.

(Olsens, Alexa Chung, Jade Jagger, Miquita Oliver, Pixie Geldof, Chung, Daisy Lowe)

Also he is an outfit i was wearing today. I seem to be wearing this dress alot lately, in fact in recentish post. Its quite an old dress that i haven't worn in ages and i have rediscovered it. I wanted to show how one piece of clothing can be worn in a completely different manner. Its kinda what i was getting at with the whole celebrity/ street style thing.

Illustrated People Tee, Topshop Dress, H&M tights, ski socks, urban outfitters boots, a selection of necklaces.

today wearings, also a couple of months ago wearings.

Here is an outfit photo that i took a while ago, however i decided to wear it now. Its a simple outfit but i like it for that. I'm wearing a vintage lace top, pinafore i forget where from, urban outfitters necklace, Clark's shoes and Primark glasses. I like the lighting in this picture too as it was probably about September/October when it was taken, so it was nice and light, i wish it was like that now to take proper photos in! Also I've just been on the vogue website and found that Alexa Chung was doing a 'Today I'm wearing' thing, I'm not gonna lie its pretty cool, if you like to know the daily outfits of the Chungmister.
