trends

 

 

there is one trend that is really upsetting me at the minute, and that is the camo/khaki trend - i just cannot stand it. i can't go into a shop at the minute without seeing something without the dreaded print. i just think it's been really overdone recently, especially teamed with a pair of nike blazers and a beanie - cringe. don't get me wrong, i have seen them pulled off - very rarely when a more sophisticated lady slips one on they can perhaps be deemed acceptable.
(this also goes for the khaki coat with the leather sleeves)

on the other hand, trends i am loving this winter are wools, patterned heels and what Vogue called 'countryside alliance' back in july.

here are some examples of patterned heels that are on the market at the minute, i particularly like this trend because i think that a heels with a pattern can add that extra something to an outfit that may start of plain. they are also great if like me you wear a lot of black because they are perfect to team with a LBD. 

 

slacking

I have been slacking a lot with my blogging this week but i'll be back!! 

I have had assignments in this week at uni and i've come home to birmingham for the weekend to see my mommy and tonight we have had chinese food and wine and snacks so its been lovely to be home!!

Ill try and do some nice posts this week maybe about halloween etc, im still worrying about what ill dress up as but i do have a few ideas!

vintage haul

like i mentioned in my last post, there is an event in manchester that sells a kilo of vintage clothes for £15 it is literally my favourite thing but they only do it every so often and i make sure i make the most of it, this event was on saturday, these are the things i managed to get for just £15!!!! i brought all of the items below minus the black shirt but i thought i'd add that on because that is something i have brought recently (seen in my post yesterday). all of the items are quite casual because i feel like i just need a few new things to wear for uni, although i did wear the floral top on saturday with my leather look skater skirt to watch the band 'PINS' which dressed it up a little but not too much, i think that and the check shirt are items i will  be wearing the most as they'll match so much!

 

This is just a little video of the all girl group 'PINS' who me and my boyfriend went to see at 'Soup Kitchen' in the northern quarter, if you've never listened to them I would definitely recommend them, they we so good! I hadn't even really listened to them until saturday, reiss (my other half) likes them and had been nagging at me for ages to go and to be fair he does usually have better music taste than i, my itunes would make music snobs weep!

chanel and brad pitt

I was just watching the new Brad Pitt Chanel No5 advert which has been shown for the first time today when i stumbled across this little video, it's so cute and gives a nice little history of the perfume. i'm sure everyone has smelt or at least is aware of Chanel No5, it's not my favorite scent but no one can deny how much of an iconic symbol of classic feminine beauty it is. i imagine wearing this perfume when i reach a more mature age.

This is a pretty random post but I just couldn't help but post this video, here is the new advert featuring brad pitt for those who haven't seen it (thank me later).

favourite outfits this week

This is a little post to show two of my favourite outfits this week (boyfriend included in one of the photos, he's been moaning that he isn't on my blog yet).

Right: Shirt - Charity Shop, Cycling Short - ASOS, Shoes - Urban Outfitters, Jewllery - Forever 21.
Left: Dress - Vintage, Belt - Urban Outfitters, Shoes - Vintage.

 These are 2 of my favourite outfits this week, the one on the left is from when i went out - my boyfriend decided to jump in on this photo but i do like his outfit too, i chose his polo from a charity shop it was only £3.99 i think it's such a bargain. Where i'm currently living in manchester, withington - the highstreet has so many charity shops, one even has a vintage shop out the back so i've gone a little bit charity shop crazy! back onto the outfit topic, i did feel a little bit gothic in this outfit but i do like wearing all black every now and then, i wore a bright pink barry m lipstick to brighten up the outfit so i thought this was a subtle way to make it less "serious".

The outfit on the right is really a summery outfit, but i wore this to uni to brighten up these rainy manchester days! these two outfits couldn't get more polar opposite to be honest but i think they show that my outfits can be really diverse! i got this dress from a special vintage event where they sell a kilo of clothes for £15 - its the most amazing thing but i will talk about this in a different post!!! i wore this dress quite a few times over the summer because it was so easy to just throw on with some sandals and a denim jacket!

I thought i'd join up to 'bloglovin' to try and find some more blogs to follow and hopefully get the word around with my blog a little bit more!

different outfits this week

i thought i'd upload some pictures of a couple of outfits i've been wearing this week and soon i'll upload some pictures of the items i've brought recently too!

as you'll be able to tell from the pictures i keep wearing a 'hearts and bows' faux leather skirt, i've wanted one for so long that i couldn't resist when i saw it in ark as i think £23 is really cheap! i then saw that asos are selling HERE it so i'd deffo get your hands on one because they match absolutely everything and it's my biggest reccomendation of anything i've brought recently.

sorry that some of the pictures are really bad quality, just getting used to all of this.

Anna Dello Russo H&M...

 Just been looking through Anna Dello Russo's H&M collection on Vogues website, for someone who loves all things gold and jewellery it is heaven! I mean the collection is pretty busy at parts and there is a lot going on but as a whole the collection is really nice and if i don't make my way to H&M tomorrow i am going to be heart broken.

I really like the turquoise that Anna has used and I think that it'll look stunning in the summer as it's not really a winter collection.

These are a few of my favorite bits from the collection.
