Inside my biro world

Over the Summer I've been trying to draw something every day. I've mainly been focusing in portraits since that is my favourite thing to draw but I've got bored off doing straight on poses; I looked through Love magazine and found so many different pictures to draw so I thought I'd share some of them with you. They're only 10 minute sketch so don't judge me for them not being extremely accurate :p

Lots of love,

Spiked At Heart

There are so many independent fashion lines out there but my favourite by far is Spiked Apparel.found by Jamie Ryan Dee just a few months ago, Spiked has created a huge following including celebrity fans such as Ellie Goulding and Jamie Curry (yes I count Jamie's World as a celebrity :p).

Next week, from the 20th-25th, Spiked is having a pop up store in Shoreditch and apparently there are going to be some special guests!

There are also going to be some exclusive items which will only be available at the pop up store- I am so excited!

Lots of love,

Lady in Blue

Today's outfit is quite... Interesting. I decided t be quite experimental and go for a layered look.

I'm not sure what I think about the jumper on top as well but I like to experiment whether it turns yet good or not. I do really love the combination of the skirt and the dress and the mix of the different prints.

I got my inspiration from Tavi Gevinson and the way she layers her outfits. I have no idea how she managed to just throw all those items of clothing together and make it look so good.

In love with this skirt.. And her burgundy top is actually a pair of leggings.

Oh and I did a photo shoot today with my friend based on the Chanel Fall show so pictures will be up tomorrow ( I'm not the best model but the pictures are pretty good :p)

Lots of love,

That one special dress <3

Recently, my mum has got really into fashion which is kinda wierd since she's never showed a interest but really cool because now we can talk about it together!

Her favourite designer is Elie Saab, a personal favourite of mine also. She even said that'd she wants him to design her wedding dress but I'm definitely more of a Marchesa fan. I mean seriously, imagine Marchesa personally design your wedding dress, or Vera Wang or Mr Karl Lagerfeld. Wow I just got shivers...

Here are some of my favourite Marchesa and Eilie Saab designs:

Marchesa:

I'd love a wedding dress like this <3

Elie Saab:

I dressed up for Chloe, but we missed her...

Last Monday while I was watching Xfm, Dan O'connell announced that Chloe Grace Moretz would be on the show... today.

Chloe is my baby so obviously I was so excited and immediately made plans to go to xfm and try to meet her. 

After lots of suspicious peering into the doors of global radio, we built up the courage to go inside and ask if Chloe was going to be there; only to be told no. 

I thought I was depressed but after seeing on the xfm twitter page that Chloe Grace Moretz was indeed there, only now do I truly know what it means to be disappointed.

On the plus side Chloe's outfit to the teen choice awards was absolutely amazing.

I love this dress by Christopher Kane, it's really fun but sophisticated at the same time which I love.

Even though Chloe didn't get to see my outfit today (her loss :p) I really quite liked what I wore today. Everything that I'm wearing is from New Look but oh well...

Gosh my forehead looks big here

All the rings I got from charity shops and markets and the brooch, which I love, is also from a charity shop.

Oh and a really creepy guy stalked my friend and I for like an hour, so creepy. 

Even though I didn't get to meet Chloe, I still had a pretty good day.

But I shall be mourning our missed opportunity for the rest of the week and wearing all black :)

Lots of love,

Frumpy but FIERCE

Two things were going through my head whilst think about what to wear to work tomorrow.

1. It's been getting a little colder so I can't just wear shorts and a t-shirt anymore :(

2. I feel like all of my outfits recently have been nice, but that's it. Just nice. Yesterday i really wanted to take a bit of a risk; wear something that I may regret putting on the next day but while I was wearing I felt on top of the world.

I was scrolling through style.com when I came across a designer called Alabama Chanin. I don't think he's very well known but his clothes were just what I was looking for.

Pictures from his Spring 2010 collection 

I know the clothes look a little dreary but they immediately got me thinking how I could impersonate the look in a more fun and edgy way. Here's what I came up with:

I'm actually in love with this dress <3 Like Chanin I layered my look but then added black boots and a rucksack to add my own style to it.

What do you guys think?
