New in a Topshop

New bits that i love, the rugby sock are awesome, i'm hoping they'll be quite thick and hold up properly so i can wear them with my denim shorts, they are £6

The jersey snood is perfect i've been eyeing up the allsaints one for ages now but was put off buy the £60 price tag and too lazy to make one myself, this one is great at £15 and comes in a range of colours. bound to be a sell out

The denim jacket with sleeve is a nice update for something that is soo pre millenum it's a joke so-so at £40 but it's something you could easily see the fash pack in.

The dress is just pretty and i love the bold colours. £45

Interview with Erin Wasson

What are you wearing today?

This is a really old vintage Fendi coat that I scored at a thrift store in New York, which I love. It's 12 sizes too big so I feel like a bag lady. This top is from a collection I designed for RVCA - it's called "sweetheart of the rodeo". The shoes are from Phi; they're from next season. I emailed the designer Andreas Melbostad and said I've got to have them.


Is this your signature look?

Yes, it's slightly dishevelled. I think a lot of people know me for just wearing cut-off denim shorts, an oversized white T-shirt with a pair of high-heels. I usually do wear basic stuff. Jeans and a white T is my go-to look.


Tell me about an early fashion memory.

I always did the [Alexander] McQueen shows. One season, I was literally a horse. It took about 20 minutes to get into my outfit. I had this huge, long horse mane coming out of my head and this great big metal horse-bit in my mouth. I think I had to be cut out of that. With McQueen, you always felt like you were more than a model.

Blonde sucks

I really don't get it when you get a great looking girl like Tallulah Riley, who has had gorgeous thick dark brown hair which complements her skin tone and makes the most of her facial features beautifully who feels the need to dye it skanky blonde as demonstrated here, which just washes her out and detracts from her face.
Just why? Bleach strips the life out of your hair, and if it's not done properly (looks a bit orange here) makes you look cheap, why bother?

Points for the one shoulder dress though, and choice of footwear.

lame

Sorry I've been crap with the posts the past couple of days, I was helping the boyf pack for his holiday. Blogger is still being a bit crap with my images and I've noticed it on other peoples blogs too, so I'm finding some where else to host my piccies.

Kate Moss for Topshop

I love Miss Moss and was half pleased half disappointed when I heard she'd signed a second deal with Topshop to continue the Kate Moss loves Topshop range.
It was initially only a 2 year deal, which made Topshop more than £40 million, so it makes business sense to extend the collection by another 3 years.
I have love the previous collections and have bought A LOT of in, including the panther dress! And though there are some stand out pieces in the new collection I'm not in amour anymore

Louis Vuitton Spicy Shoes

I didn't think much of these Louis V shoes partly because to me they looked like an indecisive mess, with masses of stuff piled onto them, but since reading an article on The Mail Online I have changed my mind.
The design came about to Marc Jacobs when he was cutting up different fabrics and materials and applying it to the shoe, so technically indecisive mess, every shoe featured in the show was unique and this same principal is being applied to ones available to buy.
I love this idea, I would like to say it justifies the £700 to £2,040, but it doesn’t.

Tribal Headband

Ok yeah I've gone crazy on the Topshop posts today but they have lots of stuff I want at the moment, but more than anything I want this.

A tribal head band, I've been wanting one for yonks and now Topshop have it with a ridculous £30 price tag. £30! Are you crazy? The headband has got to be a pound or two retail price at tescos or claire's and the feathers i can get from some crafy shop or online should sell them.

I don't really like the colour way of the beads but a trim like that for the size I need would be about £3/£4.

I could make it for like a tenner! Just need to find somewhere with good feathers, any suggestions?

Just emailed the boyf about my plans and he thinks i'm joking, we'll see who'll be laughing when i've got my headband and bow!

If you do have £30 lying about and want this headband, give it to me instead.

Topshops Rip Offs of Chloe Boots

If you missed out on Topshops version of those Chloe boots you'll be pleased to know they've brought out another colour way, this fabulous blue.

They may not look as wearble as the white, black or red but teamed with acid wash jeans or cut off shorts I think they'd look better.

AZTEC-Studded Ankle Boot

Alice McCall for Topshop

This is the second collection Alice McCall has done for Topshop.

I was working in Bentalls department store when the first collection was launched and came into the Topshop concession, wasn't really taken with the pieces on the hanger and the dresses suited only one figure and most of the collection went straight to sale.
This collection, however, is stunning; the colours are perfect for summer and fabric pattern is very fashion forward.
The collection is only being sold online, which is a shame as I'd like to get a closer look at the construction, fabric and check out the sizing as I often find with Topshop collaboration pieces the sizing varies greatly from regular Topshop clothing. The dresses retail at £65 and the skirt is £38

Summer Bags

I have a number of leather bags ranging in size but are all very same-y, black leather, stuctured shape with some form of metal hardware from silver diamond shaped studs, brassy loops, to mini gold studs.

They are my idea of classic and punk up a simple outfit, so i'm not sure why I like these.

They are beautiful eye popping colours, slouchy easy going shape, a mixture of suede and leather, some form of hardware, but the more I think about them and try to describe them, I realised they just aren't me. . . hmm I guess this is the cooling off period i've been told about.

Oh well you might like them, from Topshop.

Hello

I'm not sure what is going on with the images on my blog, my photobucket ones are fine but the ones hosted on blogger have died, I'm hoping they'll have it fixed soon.

Pot of Gold

How awesome does this product look, it's by a company called Belmacz who actually specialise in jewellery, but they have branched out into a makeup creating this stunning looking multipurpose product which can be used as eyeshadow, brow highlighter or cheek highlighter.
It’s a bit on the pricey side, £26 to be exact but each pot contains two leaves of pure 24-carat gold, giving whole to meaning to golden eye.
I’ve got to be honest one of my main reasons for posting is because of the pot, its soo cute.

Garter Leggings Topshop

I've been pondering the garter peeking out from under a shortish dress/skirt for a while now, and how ever much I’m tempted to try it I can’t help but feel, I’d look the wrong side of sexy basically I’m convinced I’d look like a hooker. So you can imagine my delighted when I saw these leggings on Topshop this morning. Imagine them minus the massive polka dots, but replaced with nude, mesh or normal tights fabric and black throughout the leg, that would be the right side of sexy for me.

Oasis Mid Season Sale

So if you hadn't worked it out yet I am a bit of a high street girl.
Because I'm meant to be spending, anything from the high street is cheap cheerful and not bank breaking so I'm rather chuffed at these random mid season sales.

Scouring the Oasis web site I found this sweet shrunken jacket and waist coat with beading detail, both £15 from £25

I'd team either with a vest, skinny scarf, avaitors, skinnys or shorts with gladiator sandals

Halloween Inspiration

Sexy Choo's

To me this ad is the right side of sexy and provocative without being crass, take note Tom Ford.

Don't get me wrong I love Tom Ford and the tactics he uses in his ad campaigns, but the ones which feature a full frontal willy was crossing a line, it was tasteless and has now left him with nowhere to go. . .

. . . so much so I can't even post to pictures here, to see what I'm cringing out please see this link from Gawker.

Please note these ads really are NOT suitable for work.
