I really, really, really want a new pair of trainers and Stan smiths are on my mind at the moment. I'm thinking to get black and white just because they'll go with pretty my everything that I wear. I'm also really into trousers at the moment, usually I'm a skirt girl but I love pants especially the checkered ones from Zara. Finally, how killer are these black Dr Martens boots! I feel like I must have them now <3

OOTD: The Vintage Jumper

Around 4ish, I was at the train station, sitting next a lady and she suddenly turned round towards me and said 'I love your jumper, where is it from?' I instantly started to laugh because I bought it for about 80p at East End Thrift store, the BEST vintage sale ever! If any of you are ever in London you absolutely must try to go to their fill a bag sale where you can stuff as many clothes into a bag as possible for £10 or £20 depending on size. 

The lady said she loved my whole outfit which made me so happy that I couldn't stop smiling for my whole train journey. 

I bought my skirt from New Look but it was in the sale quite a while ago so probably isn't available anymore. I love this skirt and have been wearing it so often recently because it's so versatile. My beloved Birkenstocks are from Topshop and are only £25! They're super comfy and come in black and white so pretty much go with any outfit.

Lots of love,

So many clothes I crave for, yet so many I probably won't own any time soon :(  What I really need is a new pair of shoes, especially a pair of sandals. I usually go to Office for my jelly shoes but River Island has the most adorable selection of coloured glitter sandals including these green ones. I also love this chunky sandal trend happening at the moment so hopefully I'll have a pair of black ones soon!

This week I've seen a ton of blog posts about the tropical print trend that is flooding through the high street so I decided to focus on a different one which is a personal favourite of mine- Sporty Luxe. This trend was perfected in the Balenciaga SS14 show and ever since I've been trying to do the same. These leather shorts from Topshop would look great during the day with a pair of New Balance trainers. Mesh is an easy way to do a sport look and I think this pink crop top would look great with an A-line skirt and those adorable flatform jelly shoes from New Look. Listen up- jogging bottoms are no longer just for lounging around at home. Asos have a great selection of stylish joggers. To avoid look like your going to the gym, throw on a pair of heeled sandals for an effortless night time ensemble.

My Spring Obsession: Culottes

I cannot even express to you how desparate I am for a pair of culottes. I saw them I a. Vogue editorial and I can't stop thinki about them. I hate wearing tight trousers during summer and I'm not treally a fan of billowing trousers on me so these are like the perfect solution! They look like they're so easy to dressy up or down, with heels or flats. I can just imagine me wearing them with a pair of jelly sandals and a cute crop top. Soon I will find the perfect pair and I'll be wearing them all spring and summer.

What do you think of culotte trousers?

Lots of love,

I need these things in my life!

I decided to refresh my Pinterest account; deleting some boards that I don't use any more and adding new more interesting ones. One is called 'Things I need in my life'. It's full of all sorts of lush clothes, outfits and accessories that will literally make my life complete. I love using Pinterest because it's such a fantastic way to collect all your inspiration and general images that you like into one place and I definitely recommend that you make an account if you don't already have one.

I absolutely adore this coat that one of my favourite bloggers Carolina fromFashion Squad wore. It's so chic and she wears it in such an effortless manner. Click here to check out her blog.

Obviously there are tonnes of shoes that I'm lusting after and these are just a few. My friend has these sandals and they are so perfect, I need to ask her where she bought them. I love this edgy boot from Topshop, I can think of so many outfits that I'd wear them with!

I saw this jacket on Kayla Hadlington's blog from a LOVE press day that she went to and I instantly fell in love with this jacket. I have no idea what I'd wear it with but gosh it's beautiful.

I think this outfit is absolutely stunning. I'm pretty sure that the skort is from Zara and I love how this girl is wearing a sparkly top for daytime, I want both the top and skort!

Are you guys on Pinterest? If you are leave your link below and I'll follow you :)

Could you own Pharrell's hat?

I'm sure you all know of Pharrell Williams' infamous Vivienne Westwood hat and now you could own it! If you have about £15,000 that is... Pharrell is selling his hat on eBay and giving all of the proceeds to the charity From One Hand to Another. The bidding started off at $200 and has already reached $14,500 so with another 6 days to go I can't even imagine how much someone is going to end up buying this hat for! But to be honest, if I hadn't he money I would definitely buy it; every time I see him wearing it I wish I had one. So I've compiled a list of not quite so awesome hats but still pretty fantastic ones that you can buy for a much more reasonable price.

Elephant Snap Back Asos £15

Logo Hat House of Holland £10 (on sale)

I know that it is completely indulgent buying something just for the brand but this is probably the only thing that I could afford from House of Holland so I need to buy it ASAP. 

Earphone Beanie Topshop £18

This invention will probably go down in history. It keeps your head warm AND you can listen to your music through it.

Daisy Beanie New Look £3.50

However, if you are still interested in purchasing Pharrell's hat click here

Ootd 4/1/14

Recently I've been reading a Rookie magazine a lot. If you've never heard of Rookie, you probably know Tavi Gevinson. She's probably what all bloggers aspire to be one day. Tavi started off at 12 years old with a blog called The Style Rookie. With her eclectic style way beyond her years, Tavi quickly got noticed in the fashion world and now she owns an online magazine called Rookie. Rookie is aimed at young girls and it's has some of the most inspirational articles discussing topics such as insecurity, art, music and fashion. They also have loads of interview witch celebrities including Lorde, Sky Ferreira and Morrissey. Rookie magazine is something you absolutely must check out so click here :)

Today I had a family dinner which was nice as I got to see a lot of my family. I wore a jumper from a £1 vintage sale, a skirt from New Look and my lovely new Topshop flatforms 

Lots of love,

I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and a wonderful time with your families exchanging presents, having fun and eating a lot. Although I had an amazing Christmas, it does seem to be an awful lot of preparation for just one day which is over before it even began...

I love seeing what other people received for Christmas, it's like seeing people's excitement all over again as they show off what they got so I thought I'd show you some of my gifts.

I love my new River Island shoulder bag. It has a really interesting snake/crocodile print. I'm also super happy because I finally got the Bastille extended edition cd and it has been on repeat for ages. Other things that were given to me were new acrylic paints, brushes, nail varnish, The Perks of Being a Wallflower DVD (which I've watched 4 times already!), some clothes, pyjamas, sewing bits and bobs and makeup. I think that's all... Overall it was a brilliant Christmas but I'm definitely glad all the stress of buying presents is over. Now it's time to lose the few pounds I gained after eating so much!

Today I went to the sales at Westfields shopping centre in Stratford; there was only one thing on my mind. A few weeks ago I found the most amazing pair of flatforms in Topshop for £58 and when I checked online yesterday they had been reduced to £25!!!

It's ridiculous how happy I was when I walked out of the shop with them in my bag <3

I don't think I'll ever take them off...

I also bought this black skirt from River Island for £10 and later on the day I made a pair of black velvet shorts. They used to be trousers but there was a rip in the bottom so I cut them off and sewed in a new hem.

How was your Christmas? Did you dare to go to the crazy Boxing Day sales?

Lots of love,
