I think my heart just melted...

Red Valentino has to be one of the most adorable and also wearable collections I've seen so far at New York Fashion Week. I'd never actually heard Valentino label RedValentino till yesterday and its literally everything I've wanted that I didn't even know I wanted.

The collection was effortlessly whimsical; inspired by ballerinas and fairy tales.  There are polka dots and peplums and full meringue skirts and cutesy Peter Pan collars. I'd definitely have to be in a playful mood to wear these clothes but I'd wear them every day if I had the chance.

This coat needs to be in my life <3

I absolutely love this print!

I need a raincoat like this

Weekly inspiration!

I haven't done one of these post in a while but I really like them and they're easy to do :p Today's images are mostly black and white, very simplistic and chic.

Those shoes with the dolls in them are crazy! I need them in my wardrobe. I'm also loving the two simple outfits which are made really fun and modern using neon colours. I'd love to try it but I don't think I have any neon in my wardrobe :s

Lots of love,

Larissa Bruin Answers My Questions!

Most of you probably know Larissa as the owner of From Hats to Heels, a fashion blog know around the world. Larissa's experience as a stylist in Amsterdam and her need to seek the extraordinary, has given her an amazing sense of style. Larissa one of those people who make anything she wears look effortless and that's why I wanted to get to know her on a more personal level. Here are some questions I asked her.

Why did you start your blog?

I've always had a lot of clothes, of which some were only worn once or twice. So when I heard of blogging I thought that that would be a great way to capture my outfits. Since writing has also been a hobby of mine, blogging is thé best way to combine the two.

Stilettos or wedges?

Stilettos. I think that wedges are handy for long walks or long nights, but overall, I think that heels should have sex appeal and I find that stilettos are more sexy in general.

Definitely agree there but I can rarely last the whole night in stilettos 😂

What inspires you?

I find my inspiration in all kinds of things. From other fashionable people, to my culture, to my environment, to achitecture. And since this is ever changing, my style is versatile and evolving.

If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

I would love to go to Bali, for the peaceful culture and nature. From what I heard it must be very different from the Western world we are living in. I would love to experience a life in which the daily structure is so different. On the other hand, I would love to go to Sweden (or somewhere else in Scandinavia). I think they are far ahead when it comes to fashion. I'm curious about that.

Ooh nice. I'd love to visit somewhere like Bali.

Favourite summer accessory?

My favourite summer accessory would have to be any statement necklace. I love to wear it with basic tops. It can really complete an outfit.

Favourite musician?

Hard one! I think that both Beyonce and Rihanna are great. And I basically love every song that Ciara and Miguel have made. Adele is amazing too!

Great choices, Rihanna is a babe and I'm going to the same college that Adele went to; maybe she'll come perform for us 😄

What do you do when you're not blogging?

(I'm almost never not blogging :-p). When I am not blogging, I am either working or having a good time with my friends. I love city trips, (fashion)events, watching movies, listening to music and of course shopping.

During summer I was blogging all day every day, I'm gutted that I won't have as much time now that I've started at college.

 What is your favourite fashion magazine?

My favourite fashion magazine is Vogue Paris. I love the Parisien style. Their haute couture inspires me much.

I've seen pictures of Vogue Paris but there aren't many shops here that sell it...

Now for an obvious question, do you have any advice for new bloggers?

If you really love blogging, you should dedicate to it, stay true to yourself and never give up. Be out there! 

Thank you for answering all my questions and hopefully we can stay in touch.

What do you guys think of Larissa's blog?

Queen of Tartan and Brit School Student

I started at the Brit school on Thursday and so far it has been super amazing. I've met loads of new people and hopefully I'll meet more (and I love putting on my own clothes every day!). I didn't take a picture of what I wore the first day; I was in such a rush in the morning but here's a picture of what I wore today.

I got this shirt from my mum but I wore it as a dress as its quite long and then I paired it with my lilac jellies. Oh and I got my student ID badge today- that means student discounts!

Today we had to create hats made out of paper to represent what is going on in our minds. Everyone said that my hat was really cool so I thought I'd show you guys a picture.

Over the bank holiday weekend I went to Nottingham to visit my family there and for my cousin's christening. And omg Nottingham is so cheap. There's loads of charity shop and there's an outlet store which sell clothes cheaper than a charity shop would- I need to find one in London.

I got these from the outlet store and I'm in love with these wedges but I have to share them with my mum. I bought the shoes for £5 and the top for £2 (yes you read right).

I'm kinda in love with tartan so when I kind these in a charity shop I had to buy them. The cardigan was £2 I thinkable and the skirt was £4 ( it comes just below the knee and even though my mum hates it I loveee it). I think I'm gonna try to wear them together, it might be a bit too much tartan but I just have to try it.

I usually try to post something every day but now that I'm starting school that just won't be possible 😭 So I've made a schedule and will try my best to keep to it. From now on I'll be posting every Friday, Thursday and Tuesday.

Lots of love, Tiana

Ootd: Let's Kick Some Ass

Gosh it feels like so long since I've blogged; I've just been so busy getting ready for school, doing homework and I went to Nottingham over the weekend to visit family. I've got a massive post lined up for either later on today about my time in Nottingham (everything is so cheap in Nottingham so I bought some amazing clothes :D)

Today I finally went to watch Kick Ass 2 with my mum and it was amazing, especially Chloe Moretz (god she's beautiful). Usually with sequels it just feels lie they were had no story line but the producers wanted to squeeze out every bit of money they could from one idea. Kick Ass 2 was not like that and hopefully from the ending there will be a third one which I'm already excited about :D

I bought this cardigan from a charity shop for £2, the skirt is from new look, the shirt is an old school shirt and my shoes are originally from Office but I bought them for £5 at a car boot sell.

For my brit school homework I did some research about Twiggy and I just fell in love with her makeup. Then I was reading the September issue of Vogue and they were talking about how to experiment with eyeliner and I just knew I had to try it out. So here's my Twiggy inspired makeup. I didn't do a tutorial this time since I wasn't sure about how it'd come out but next time I'll definitely do one :)

Lots of love,

Results Day: OOTD

Today I got my GCSE results an I was literally freaking out this morning. When she handed me the envelope I seriously thought I was going to throw up on her.

I actually did a lot better than I thought I would- 2 A*s, 6 As and 3 Bs :D 

I was disappointed that I got a B in Art but yeah, I can't change that now...

Anyways here is what I wore today.

I really like these three colours together although it is a fairly boring outfit... I couldn't really be bothered to make a massive effort because all I've done for the rest of the day is dance around the house in my underwear to Brooke Candy :p

Lots of love,

One Skirt, Three Outfits: Dress for Less

I start college in 8 days. 8 days! That's crazy, I can't believe summer is basically over. I think I've forgotten how to hold a pen let alone write whole essays or speak in French.

But for now let's out that aside and think about clothes :)

This is going to be the first time that I don't have a uniform so I'm guessing its going to be difficult to make up an outfit everyday. What I've tried to do is by simple pieces that can be used for several different outfits throughout the year. This blue skirt that I bought from New Look for £6 is the focus of this post.

I've created three different looks around this skirt to show how it can be worn in different ways for different seasons.

1. Winter Breeze

Here I've put on loads of layers to make a winter outfit. This can also be worn in autumn by wrapping the coat around your waist or just leaving it our completely.

Jumper- Primark (I bought it last year).

Jacket- Boot Sale- £10 (I've seen it in brick lane for about £35)

Trainers- Converse- Gift

2. Simple and Smart

I think this is my favourite of all my outfits. It's quite simple but then I made more fun by wearing lip printed tights.

Jumper- £2.50- Charity shop

Tights- £3.00- Primark

Boots- £30- New Look

Leather jacket- borrowed from my younger brother

3. Shine in Summer

In this outfit I paired the skirt with a neon pink crop top and lilac jelly sandals for a summery look.

Waistcoat- Gift

Crop top- £4- New Look

Jelly Sandals- £20- JuJu

The great thing about this skirt is that it's really simple so can be worn with literally anything and is such a wardrobe staple.

Lots of love,

Tiana
