Tartantastic.

//Shirt - Urban Oufitters//Scarf - Retro Apparel//Leggings - Daisy Street//Trousers - Urban Outfitters//

This is one of my favourite trends of Autumn 2013 as Tartan can be worn as different pieces but still look on top of its game. I picked a few examples when I was doing some online shopping and found that quite a few clothing brands didn't have it as one of their main trends which I found quite strange but then thought they do sometimes associate Tartan with the "Punk" and "Checked" trend. I particularly like the Tartan trousers as they can be worn in a casual or formal situation depending what you put it with, for example the trousers on the far right could be worn at a job interview if you teamed it with a shirt and smart shoes but it could also be worn casually when it's teamed with a jumper and creepers. 

Do you like the tartan trend?

University moving day 2013

Top - Urban Oufitters

Jeans - Topshop 

Necklace - Topshop

Creepers - Underground

I am moving into university today so I threw together some art student ensemble to re introduce myself. I haven't worn my creepers in a while so I thought they should make another debut at my university, the shirt is also one of my favourites as its quite quirky and I got it in the sale at Urban Outfitters it was originally £120 and I got it for £30 (bargain!)

Bedroom antics.

Ben De Lisi

I moved into my new room at my dads the other day and so typically I wanted to decorate the room to make it my own. So I looked around a few department stores but nothing really bounced out at me until I came across a section dedicated to Ben De Lisi's designs, I immediately fell in love with the quirkiness of it all as I wanted to buy everything. I chose these three items for my room as they match each other  but are also very different at the same time, the robot lamp is my favourite purchase as I have never seen anything like it. 

His designs have inspired me to think about what I would like to do as a career, I've not really thought about it much but there seems to be a lot of options.

My Topshop picks.

I go to Topshop way to much and I when I do I always seem to buy something I don't actually need but to be honest that's a lot of girls problems these days. These are a few of my favourite things they have in at the moment, the leather jacket is one of my favourites because you can detach the fur on it so its suitable for summer nights and winter nights. Both the map shirt and treggings are out of stock on the website but I am determined to have them in my grasp at some point this Autumn.
I am glad they are bringing back the tartan trend because its a classic piece of fashion which always comes around every few years but you'd think that girls would be fed up of it as the design is typically used in school wear but the benefits are that it can be paired with so many things such as the boots on the far right. Talking about the boots (which are so beautiful but so expensive it makes me sad), they are to summery for Autumn I think because I don't think socks go very well with them so you would just get cold feet but it doesn't matter as they are beautiful and I would wear them all year round anyway.


Jacket - £58
Map print shirt - £30
Tartan treggings - £25
Cut out boots - £70


Do you have any favourite Topshop items?

"Lost Generation" by Rizzle Kicks song review. (First review EVER)

Lost Generation - Rizzle Kicks

I am a big fan of these Brighton born duo because of the points they raise in this song, it's not unusual for them to talk about society. For example, in their previous song "When I was a youngster" they raised the point that most people are so ambitious as children and then lose the motivation as they grow old enough to buy alcohol.
This song starts off with a beat and a tune that sounds like its from an old school video game which later turns into a jazzy tune, this blends well with their voices as they both compliment each other with Jordan's rapping and Harley's falsetto voice. The song raises the main points of girls being called sluts if they sleep around when boys don't, John Terry's racist comments, reality television and how much of a dick Jeremy Kyle is.
It's a tune you could easily dance to in clubs but also chill to round the house.

31st August 2013

London Town.

I always love the buzz of London as it's always so busy and there is always something going on. It was coming to the end of summer and all the streets were filled with summer sales, the leaves were starting to turn brown and it was the right temperature for summer dresses and t-shirts. I visited Carnaby street for the first time and discovered this little tea room which lets you smell and taste the tea before you sit down and drink it, it was quaint and smelled exotic as the aroma of the teas filled the whole place. Obviously I would have to try a tea and scones to seal the approval I had already made. 

Where's your favourite place in London?

Outfit for Freshers? 19th September 2013.

Top - Miss Selfridge

Leather Shorts - New Look

Belt - Urban Outfitters

Heeled Converse Shoes - Topshop

Took a risk and bought leather shorts even though they haven't always looked good on me, however going to the gym has improved my bum so it looks more complimenting within the back of the shorts. I love this little ensemble because its like a twist of monochrome as I use grey instead of white, I don't really know I just thought it looked cool really.

Bestival ^_^

I went to Bestival a couple of weeks ago, I love the festival atmosphere minus the porta loos and drunk dickheads. Music is what I am passionate about even though I do a graphics course because music is still a big part of my life and I can't go a day without it. Seeing acts live is a big thing to me and it makes me feel at home in my heart. I saw the likes of Bastille, The 1975, Elton John, Tom Odell, Knife Party, Snoop Dogg, and Disclosure. I also got a henna tattoo for the first time and its left a mark on my hand as I got a tan on my holiday.

If you have a favourite festival moment tell me all about it :)
