PAINT IT BLACK

JUMPER - NEW LOOK, SKIRT & BELT - TOPSHOP
 
I haven't done an outfit post is so long, and my only excuse is that I never seem to have any time in the morning before sixth form to take any good photos, and by the time I get back from school I am too tired. This week however, I tried to find a day to put in the effort. I don't know whether it's just because it is so cold and they are so damn snug, but recently I've gone a bit crazy for turtleneck jumpers. I felt the urge to order two or three (I forget...) just the other day. I think they get such a bad reputation and I don't know why - they are amazing! I got this plain black one and paired it with a little black skater skirt, tights and my heeled black boots that are not shown. I wore it with my skinny leopard print belt just to break it up a bit. I really liked this look because I thought it was really cute and simple. XOXO

VALENTINO S/S 2013
















Valentino didn't disappoint, living up to it's reputation for angelic and romantic pieces. Everything was prim and demure, with elegant tea dresses and gowns fit for an English Rose-type like Keira Knightley, Michelle Williams or Elle Fanning. It is all certainly very sober and 'proper'. Shirts and skirts, peter-pan collars and puffball sleeves were all big features. Leather was given a feminine touch with trench coats, dresses and midi skirts which were brought right up to date for spring. The colour scheme was relatively simple and quite refreshing for spring, with black, white, nude, navy and bright red. There was the most intricate bead detailing too. Everything looked so fragile and pretty. But it wasn't too reserved or modest. There was laser-cut, lace and chiffon, giving just a hint of skin. There was also a transparent plastic trench coat, adding a modern touch to the collection. XOXO
