Reality Check

Four Tyres =

A pair of gorgeous of Topshop wedges or a Leather Jacket from Miss Selfridge

Or a fab floral maxi dress or drape dress from French Connection

I hate it when real life gets in the way of my shopping so pay day is coming very soon and I had all these ideas of what I was going to treat myself too. The other day I noticed a flat tyre on my car and as I was filling up it with air I noticed it was in pretty bad condition I checked the others and they were bad too so off to the garage where I was told I needed four new tyres costing £174 OMG what I could buy with this amount of money. New shoes went straight out the window, the gorgeous fringe leather jacket my montly shopping trip was ruined arrghhhhh. So this month I will be on a shopping ban well maybe a little one ;)

Pants Topshop, Jacket Miss Selfridge (old), Shirt Topshop, Tee Farhi, Boots Nine West, Rings H&M and ASOS

So today I am not off on my usual shopping trip to buy fab fashion goodies I am off to the tyre garage to purchase new shoes for my car. I thought I would wear my leather look pants I have not worn them for a while and seeing as the weather has turned wintery again they seem perfect. Yesterday I had a sort out of my jewellery and came across the three necklaces I am wearing today the heart locket is my nans and I have had since I was a little girl. The Christian Dior one is also quite old too I thought I would put them all on today.

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer

Kylie Minogue, Claudia Schiffer and Sienna Miller are the faces fronting the campaign photograhed by Mario Testino. There are also some goregous items on sale from some of our fav High Street stores check out the full collection here with 30% from each sale being donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

My favorites are the one shouldered dress from Olivia Rubin, vest from Topshop and the gorgeous tassel boots from River Island

In the dark

A new brand arrived in the Department store where I work last week. I did not pay much attention to them as it was a brand that I had not heard much about and the clothes looked a little sombre. There shop fit is very exciting and has a real futuristic feel about it maybe not really suiting the style of clothes but I wondered past the department yesterday and picked up one of their brochures and I was impressed with what I saw. The brand is Italian and is called Stefanel.

I really love the young feel that there campaign has and I love the way the images were taken behind the scenes before there runway show. I especially love the white jumpsuit it has a very sexy feel about it but the tan accessories play it down and make it work as a daytime look. I also love the denim pants with the drawstring.

What do you guys think?

A leather dream

Top Primark, Harness Etsy, Vintage Leather Shorts Ebay, Clogs River Island

I really enjoy wearing this harness and the best way is with florals. I brought this top years ago from Primark and I wanted to try the harness with a top or dress with a sleeve so I thought this would be perfect. I am also getting used to walking in my clogs they are a little difficult especially with tights. I was going to buy the ones that have just dropped in Topshop but I have made the decision that seeing as clogs are a one season hit I really do not see the point investing in another pair this was a hard decision as the Topshop ones are more like the Chanel and JC ones.

Do leopards roar

Shirt Ronit Zilkha, Skirt River Island, Boots Topshop, Necklace Miss Selfridges

I saw this skirt in River Island a while ago and it had sold out in my size I tried a couple of River Island stores and even online with no luck. I thought I would give ebay a try and I found one and won it last week and it was also £8.00 cheaper :). It arrived this morning and I could not wait to wear it I teamed it with a sheer top which I found in my wardrobe while having a clear out I actually found quite a few sheer tops that I will be wearing soon.

Jog On

I tried these joggers on in Topshop the other day as a fan of Wang I thought I would try a Wang inspired sport look. These Topshop joggers looked great on but I did feel that I did not want to spend £20 on a look that I might not like so I went to my local sports store and scored a pair for £8. I wanted to wear them with heels and these lace up boots are perfect today's outfit is an experiment and I must admit I do like the look and next time I will style it a bit more with accessories but in the mean time this is a fab Sunday look seeing as I am chilling with a copy of Elle and my favorite bloggers.

Rapunzel

My leather harness that I told you about here arrived yesterday I was very impressed with how quickly it arrived. I love it I wore it a little safe today to get people used to it I think they thought I had a dress on as it sits on top of the skirt. I really wanted to wear it with a silk girly dress but I have not really got one for uniform apart from the dress I wore yesterday and I was not going to wear that again today. I took inspiration from Mulberry, Alexander Wang and Alexander McQueens S/S10 collections for my outfit today.

If you are interested in these beautiful harnesses check out Etsy seller Audra Jean.

I want to thank you for your lovely comments and for following me have a lovely weekend xoxo

Good God Clogs

Dress Topshop, Blouse Gap, Bralet Topshop, Biker Jacket ASOS, Clogs River Island, Clutch Ghost

Today I popped into town to look around the shops I was on a mission to find nudes I decided against buying the stripey maxi dress I am going to wait nearer to summer as it will sit in my wardrobe for a couple of months before I can even wear it. I tried on a nude shirt in Miss Selfridge but I wanted to wear it as a dress and it was not quite long enough I found a cute top in New Look went back to get it and it had gone :( I will pick one up tomorrow in the town where I work if they have any left.

I am showing off my clogs today I have a confession I did not actually wear them out as I need to get used to wearing them I am not that great on a platform so I am going to wear them around the house for a bit. I love them though I was not quite sure how to wear them and I think with dresses is the best way I tried them with harems but it looked a little strange. I think these ones are a little more sophisticated then the chunky wooden heel ones that Jeffrey Campbell has done but I am torn between this style and the JC style ones. I also know that Topshop have done a pair very similar to the JC ones I can't wait for them to hit the stores.

Your a Doll Award

I received the "You're a Doll" Award from Chloe of Pink Game Girl Rocks check out her blog she has the most creative style and a fab pair of JC clogs that I envy everytime she wears them.

Stripes and Things

Dress Nicole Farhi, Cardigan Topshop, Boots Ebay, Belt H&M, Necklace Topshop

The weather is such a tease at the moment bright blue skies with the sun shining but it is so cold
at least I get to wear my sunnies :). So today I wore a very summery stripe tee dress and teamed it with tights and a knitted cardigan. Are you finding it hard at the moment to pick an outfit? I really want spring to hurry up as I am fed up with trying to dress at the moment. I also decided to go for a Wang inspired plait I think this hair style is going to be great with summer outfits it has a real care free feel about it

Your Order Has Been Dispatched

Fur Vest Primark, Leggings H&M, Blouse Gap, Boots Topshop, Turban Ebay

I love those emails letting you know that your order has been dispatched my River Island clogs are on there way the only downside of online shopping waiting and one thing I am not good at is waiting.

Well today is my last day of doing nothing as I am back to work tomorrow :(. Should of been Monday but I am needed oh well. Today I am off out to met my sis and my mum for lunch and shopping well window shopping for me I am just about all spent out. I liked the shirt that I wore the other night so I am wearing this again today but with fur and legging oh la la.

Oh btw great comments about the tan or not to tan thing really interesting thanks guys. To be honest my legs will be tanned in the summer with a good self tan have a lovely day

To Tan or Not To Tan

Leather Shorts Vintage, Blouse Gap (old), Cardigan Topshop,Boots Ebay, Clutch Ghost, Necklace Untold

I wore this last night for a night out with the girls. Years ago I would not of dreamed of going bare legged without a tan but it felt so refreshing last night not to have tanned legs and not care. My friends were a little shocked especially as I was always the queen of tans. I have learnt to love my pale skin and to be honest for the past six years have worn SPF 50 and avoided the sun not only is it dangerous for my health but very aging too. So I say embrace your pale skin but I am not preaching if you enjoy having a tan that is great too :). I did have a tan anyway my new boots ordered from Ebay the other day and they arrived yesterday bargain £24.99 and I love them. Check them out for yourselves here.

btw my hair has not grown over night I have hair extensions in American Dream ones I only have one I wanted length not volume and yes I am wearing a black bra I liked the way it showed through the blouse

What I have been doing today

Today I received my denim bum bag that I won on ebay last week for a bargain 99p so I spent the morning inspired by D&G with a bottle of bleach and my box of buttons and broken jewellery turning it into something different . I think it will look fab in the summer with stripes and denim cut offs and teamed with a white outfit.

I also ordered these clogs (1st picture) from River Island after seeing them in this weeks Grazia and only £44.99. That is another S/S essential ticked off my list which gets longer everyday. I was going to get the Mango ones (2nd picture) from ASOS but the River Island had the edge.

Leather Harness

Since seeing Kate Moss walk down the runway for Fashion for Relief wearing an Alexander McQueen dress and harness and Topshops Unique Collection I have been obsessed with finding a leather body harness so I tried ebay with no luck my next stop was Esty where I found seller Audra Jean who has the most amazing leather harnesses so I have ordered the first one I had to send some measurements for a perfect fit so hopefully it should be here soon. The second harness really looks like the the Unique one I think I will also order that one too.
