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?

You know you do it ;)

So I found this picture a few minutes ago which is apparently quite old but its new to me and pretty much relevant to everyone. 

Kinda annoying that's it's sideways but the caption says "Every day when I get dressed I think to myself, "Would The Sartorialist photograph me wearing this?"

Weekly Inspiration

For my Brit School summer art homework, I was asked to fill an A5 sketchbook with all things vintage. I love vintage clothing so that is the area that I'm mostly focusing on. I've also been looking for more pictures to put on my wall so there are a few here that I like. Others are just pictures that I've either taken or found during the week.

Queen B did what?

Recently the pixie cut has become very famous in Hollywood with stars such as Miley Cyrus and Anne Hathaway cutting off their hair and now Queen B has caught up. I was too sure about Beyonce's dramatic change in hairstyle but its definitely growing on me. She's so beautiful and I think the short hair just enhances that. 

Here are some other famous pixie cuts.

What do you guys think of Beyonce's new do and would you be brave enough to try it?

Primark A/W 2013 collection

Yes you read right, Primark has an Autumn Winter collection and it is pretty damn good.

Primark channels 90s grunge in its A/W 13 collection

I don't even have to say much because this collection is absolutely gorgeous; the clothes speak for themselves.

I never thought that I'd say this about primark, but I literally cannot wait to shop there. I love tartan prints so there is no doubt that this tartan red baby doll dress will be in my wardrobe as zoo as it hits the stores. I am lusting of the fluffy pale pink coat and full black faux leather skirt. I guess we all know where Tiana is shopping for her Winter wardrobe ;)

What do you guys think about Primark's step into the fashion world?
