Camouflage


Shirt - EBay. Tshirt - New Look, Jeans - EBay, Underground Creepers - ASOS, Beanie - Primark

Loving this camouflage shirt I brought from eBay a few weeks back. Perfect for layering, not that it's needed in this weather. I'm already missing the autumn/winter seasons! I should be letting go of my beanie hats soon also! Have a nice day guys, and enjoy the sun while it lasts! :)

Floral Power


I'm very much loving all the Spring/Summer 2012 trends at the moment! All I need to do now is slowly develop and update my wadrobe as it is looking quite dull (still stuck in autumn/winter). So one o my first spring/summer purchases are these floral print trousers from H&M. At first I didn't like them but later I could think of so an ways to style so I snatched those up as they're selling quite quick in stores. the metallic gold shoes I'm wearing are from Matalan but I brought them for my secondary school prom! That was about 3 years ago and I never wore them again after that lol! I prefer very high heels but this style of heel actually looks very nice with a pair of trousers!

Kill 'Em With Colour

ASOS Fashion Finder have created a fanatastic competion with Bloglovin' where bloggers can show off their takes on current S/S'12 trends so I've decided to showcase a few outfits with the wardrobe I have now and see how far I get lol. So here's the first one. I'm really into bright neon yellow, I thought the top went quite well with my blue highwaisted trousers and a slouchy grey blazer. What do you guys think? P.S I'm not really as tall as I look, I'm like 5 foot nothing!

Kanye ..

TShirt - Primark, Parka Jacket - H&M, Jeans- H&M, Dr Martens, Leather Pouch - DIY.

Loving my new T-Shirt that I purchased fom Primark (in the men's section) as it has Kanye's beautful face printed on it! I can't wait for the Watch The Throne concert in May with him & Jay-Z. I;m truely buzzing with excitement! Can you guys believe a VIP ticket for the concert is £530?! Extortion to another level if you're asking me! I hope you guys don't mind the effects on my photos, I try to give a vintage feel to them, kind of weird but yes lol.

Creepers!


 I can now say I finally own Creepers thanks to ASOS and their flash 25% Student discount offer! I ordered these yesterday and I received them today (thanks to having premier memebership lol). I also brought the infamous House of Holland super suspender tights, I can't wait to wear them with my denim shorts that I need to customise a bit. Also, two jewellery pieces that I'm in love with, the necklace will look really nice under a collar. I've been looking for a delicate looking gold bangle and this cross one is perfect!

D.I.Y Carry All Pouch

So I said in an earlier post, I would be attempting to make my own American Apparel leather clutch pouch and I finally did. I say the difficulty level of making was fairly easy to be honest! Thanks to anneorshine for the DIY tutorial


What you'll need:
Faux Leather (or if you want real go for it lol)
Scissors
Measuring tape/30 cm Ruler
A 16inch Zipper
A Sewing Machine
Pencil


First step:
So you have to basically cut out two identically measured pieces of leather (rectangular shape). I folded the leather in half to make it easier so when I cut the shape out I can cut in half and have two pieces. I used a 30cm ruler to draw the outline with pencil. I wanted my pouch to be quite big, so I measured its width to about 16.5 inches and the height was about 12.5 iches. 


Second Step:
Next the zip has to be attatched to both pieces of leather. Place the leather pieces on either side of the zipper fabric (which should be the right side up) to check everything is lined up ok. Then you can proceed with sewing each side to the zipper fabric. 


Third Step:
Now that's done, its time to sew all the three sides that are just chilling lol. Its best to leave the zip open a bit just so its easier to turn the pouch in. Once thats done, all you have to do is pull the zip back and turn the bag in and wahla you have your own DIY carry all pouch! Mine definitely didn't turn out perfect but its perfect for me!


I'm not that great at explaining things so if you need more info check out anneorshine 's YouTube video :)

New In

Loving this jumper to bits! I brought it from Marks & Spencer (Men's). Its still quite chilly outside so there's still room jumpers haha.

 I don't  really own denim in this colour wash so I decided to buy it and its in my new favourite jean style , boyfriend fit! This was purchased from H&M

Finally! I have found a neon yellow t-shirt! I've been on a hunt for one for like ever. I found this little beauty in H&M Trend.

I don't really wear dresses but I've been lusting over a quite overly priced t-shirt dress in Topshop for a while now to my suprise Primark (which is where I purchased this) are now doing them so cheers to that!

Designer Wants

I'm sure we all lust over designer things at times right? I'm not into designer clothing as you can buy inspired versions from the highstreet but I do love bags, shoes, basically the accessories! Here a few things I've been lusting over! ...

1. Cartier Love Bracelet - I always see Kanye West pictured wearing these bracelets. They are so simple looking yet beautiful. I would love one in gold!
2. Rottweiler Givenchy T-Shirt - I'm  not really into designer clothing however Givenchy sell some wicked t-shirts (well for men) my favourite one, the Rottweiler tee. 
3. Michael Kors - If I wore silver jewellery a lot more, I'd consider buying this watch.
4. Giuseppe Zanotti Sneakers - I've been obsessing over these for while now. I'm more a casual shoe chick and these are right up my alley! I was thinking of saving up for them and waiting for them to go on sale so I can snatch them up!
5. The Celine Luggage Bag - Just the ulimate sophisticated looking handbag
6. Christian Louboutin Pigalle - Okay, so I like comfy shoes lol, but these classic pigalles heels are a must in my wardrobe in a few years. I would wear them with anything from boyfriend jeans to a nice dress, very versatile!

Stripes Times Vintage

Shirt - Romwe , Jeans - eBay, Chelsea Boots - Daisystreetshoes.co.uk

I have been doing a bit of shopping on eBay, and I have brought quite a few nice things, just waiting for them to arrive at my door! One thing I have just received are a pair of vintage Diesel jeans. They are a style of jean I've dying to have and they're perfect; boyfriend fit, tapered, highwaisted, I couldn't ask for more! The best thing about them is the price ... such a bargain at only £4.99!! I am wearing them in this OOTD, I was getting ready for work.

DIY Inspiration - Slouchy Pouch Clutch


I really like the look of slouchy leather cluthes as they can be used in the day and at night. 
American Apparel sure know how to lure us in with there simple, cool but yet expensive items although there's one thing I can't see myself buying anytime soon even though I want it sooo bad! The Leather Carry-All Pouch! They come in nearly any colour possible and are just a real statement piece, however the price! .... So I was thinking why not make it myself? All I need is leather material, a zipper and a sewing machine. Sewing machine, check. Just waiting on the leather and zipper to arrive and a DIY post will soon follow!

Speckles

Hooded Jumper - Topshop, DIY Cut Off Jeans, Chelsea Boots - www.Daisystreetshoes.co.uk, Alexander Wang Rocco Inspired Bag - Select

I am totally obsessed with anything that is grey and speckled/grainy I'm not even sure of what the actual name is for this type of design but I love it. I had my eye on this jumper for a while in Topshop and I couldn't justify buying it for it's orginal price of 36.00, like really?! It did end up in the sale online but it sold out quick! I popped into my local Topshop last week and spotted the last one in the shop but there was no indicaton that it was on sale, if it's on sale online it should be on sale in stores right? So I had staff check it for me and it was!! It came to around £16 with student discount, I was well chuffed!

Before & After


I remember when I brought these super skinny jeans from Topshop on sale and thought "Hmm, I can work with these." but I later found the colour of the panel just wasn't working with my outfits so I decided to get a permanent marker and colour the panel black. To me the jeans have become more versatile as the colour goes with a lot of things!

Disco Pants

Coat/Blazer - New Look, Acid Wash Polo Shirt - Topman, American Apparel Disco Pants, Studded Loafers - Topshop, Bag - Zara

I can't get enough of these American Apparel Disco Pants! I'm glad I invested in a pair as I can wear them with nearly anything! Today was just another day at uni, it wasn't really cold so I threw on a pair of flats. It felt a bit weird wearing them at first as I've been living in boots and trainers for a while! I was quite excited for Kanye second fashion show at Paris for his A/W'12 collection. I must say I liked the collection however there was a lot of dead animal on the catwalk which I know he'll be criticised once again for! ...

D.I.Y - Cut off jeans

So it has been raining for most of the day and it's my day off from uni so I cleared out my wardrobe amd found a few things I wanted to alter. I like the whole cut off bottom look on jeans with the fraying, I tried to fray mine, but failed in the process lol! This D.I.Y really is nothing special but I want to start customising my clothes more and doing iinteresting D.I.Y projects!

Wishlist

I've had my eye on a few things lately and here they are:


1. Saw this jacket in the Topshop at Westfield and instantly fell in love with it. It does look way better in person.I love the fact its a cool twist to a usual denim jacket!

2. You lovelies know my love for boyfriend jeans! These are from H&M and I'm actually thinking of purchasing them this week, I need new jeans for sure!

3. i don't own a waist belt and sometimes I feel that I need one to complete my outfit at times. I've had my eye on this popular Moschino one for a very long time. My mum would probably have me return this if I ever purchased!!

4. The perfect coloured trousers for Spring/Summer. It falls in with the pastel colour trend for the coming seasons. It would look great with a mint green top/item number 5 and crisp white blazer. These are from H&M.

5. I've been lusting over this H&M trend jumper! Its the perfect shape and has the gorgeous detailing and its mint green :D

6. I haven't ever come across a plain tee in this colour green before and I love it! River Island

7. I love any jewellery with a cross on it and these rings have my name written all over them. They come in silver also and these are from ASOS. They always have nice jewellery!

8. I told myself I wouldn't fall for these shoes because the whole of London has them but I can't resist. I've been looking for a good pair of black flat shoes as I've been wearing my Chelsea boots way to much and neglect all my other shoes most of the time. These Underground Creepers are pricey as hell though!

New In ...


Just thought I'd show my recent purchases. I've obviously failed at giving up shopping for 40 days! You guys may have seen the striped shirt in a recent OOTD. I love it to death. I purchased the shirt from Romwe, they always have nice things on there. I also brought this sleeveless mint green shirt from H&M for only £7.99! I'm going crazy for the whole pastel colour trend for spring/summer. I'm definitely looking to buy a few pastel coloured clothing soon. I also brought the American Apparel disco pants in black, they're such an investment in my eyes!
