BADGLEY MISCHKA S/S 2013

Inspired by the 1935 film adaptation of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', everything in this collection is romantic, feminine and beautifully ethereal. Each piece from the show is in itself like something from a dream. The show was a fairyland of sweet daywear and detailed and extravagant gowns. Tulle, chiffon, sequins and beads are used to create light and angelic pieces. There were padded-out shoulders and capes made of chiffon and tulle that looked lighter than air. There is such delicate and intricate bead and sequin detailing with every piece, and I completely adore the use of muted pastel colours like pink, lilac, mint and blue. XOXO

ASHISH S/S 2013

This collection was a mix of punk and geek chic. Each model had messy topknots and some had big framed glasses. In typical 'Ashish' style everything was covered in sequins. Even the socks. It is an odd but brilliant contrast with the grey sweaters, tracksuits, denim and white Reeboks. There is also a mix of boyish and girly looks - sweaters with wonky shirts and baggy shorts, and cool little sequin dresses. I love so many pieces in this collection, but my key feature? The wonderful comeback of the scrunchie. I knew I was onto something when I happened to buy two the other week (see here). The sequin-encrusted ones at Ashish are adorable. XOXO

ROCK AND ROLL

Vintage t shirt

I love this tee. I love band tee's (providing the person wearing it listens to the band) and this one is very cute.

Leather jacket
$290 - topshop.com
I am obsessed with biker jackets - I have four and counting. I love this Topshop one. I love the fitted cut and I think it would look amazing with anything.

Skinny jeans
topshop.com
Skinny jeans are such a wardrobe staple for me and I like these one looks really hot.

Reiss

These ankle boots are so gorgeous! They shake up the outfit and stop it from being too casual.

Chanel

Chanel bags are just the best. Again, like with the boots, this makes the outfit more dressy.

American apparel

I love chunky gold hoops! Can't help it.

Michael kors watch
asos.com
This watch is going on my christmas list. It's so hot.

Rimmel lipstick

I had to have some colour! Red lips are my fave.

So what do we think? I LOVE the whole outfit, and will probably we wearing something very similiar at some point this week. XOXO

AMERICAN APPAREL SCRUNCHIES

Hey so these arrived a few days ago and I felt the need to share. These two beauties are my latest purchase from American Apparel. How amazing?! They are very very cute. I just saw them on the website and thought 'how come people don't wear scrunchies anymore?'. I used to love a good scrunchie! Naturally I had to order them straight away. They look great with either a high ponytail or a topknot, and I think they will add a fun and unusual twist to a look. XOXO

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE

 

TEE - TEE AND CAKE AT TOPSHOP, LEATHER JACKET & SCARF - TOPSHOP

Been a bit of a miserable week. I've been quite unwell and the awful weather has just made this week feel so rubbish. I wore my beautiful Jim Morrison tee yesterday which I love wearing because it reminds of when I was little. When I was a kid the Doors was always playing in the house and there was a short period of time when I thought Jim was actually my dad. Or more so, I thought my dad and him were the same person. They just looked the same in my eyes okay? The title of the post comes from one of my favourite Doors songs that I remember listening to all the time. I wore my top with a black skirt, my leather biker and a cosy leopard print scarf. XOXO

BURBERRY PRORSUM S/S 2013

 

I might seem a little bit late to the 'Fashion Week' party, but I just have been procrastinating for a while on which collections to sit and talk about. Seriously, there are just so many! I've narrowed it down to a couple of collections which I found to be my favourites - so far anyway. Burberry Prorsum surprised me with a completely stunning collection at London Fashion Week. Colour was very much ON. It was a beautiful rainbow of rich and bright jewel tones and metallic fabric mixed with classic shapes and pieces. The Burberry staple - the trench coat - was revamped to become more youthful and fun. My key piece was the turquoise metallic trench coat with a tie around waist. Other features that I love include the pencil skirts and the gorgeous capes. FROW included the beautiful faces of Dita Von Teese, Dev Patel, Victoria Pendleton and Harry Styles. XOXO

LANA DEL REY FOR H&M

This is me having a 10 minute break from writing an awful English essay. I'm so excited by this new collection by H&M, inspired by Lana's retro and feminine style. It is full of so many sweet and lady-like pieces. I particularly love the green chunky jumper, the printed leggings, the white feather mini skirt and the big jewelled earrings. I have just ordered the light pink jumper Lana is wearing in the video and in the top picture too. It is just the cutest thing. I cannot wait to have it in my life.

 

This advert has been everywhere recently and it is so gorgeous. It is so beautifully shot and just as stunning as one of Lana's own music videos. Also, her cover of 'Blue Velvet' is adorable and currently playing on repeat on my iPod. XOXO
