Leather and Fringing

Hi there strangers, it’s been a while

I just have a couple of new things to show you today.  I bought these black, leather look fringed shorts from Lavish Alice a few weeks ago. If you didn’t know already, fringe is a festival must so there perfect for the upcoming summer.  They basically work well with anything, from a black jumper, a western shirt, or even this amazing denim/leopard shirt! The denim shirt is from my favourite shop…EBay! I just had a quick look, and at the moment I am watching 147 items, so yes, I think I am a bit obsessed!

Yesterday morning, I ended up at the East End Thrift store in Whitechapel.  If you live in London and you haven’t been, I suggest you go.  It’s great. You basically pay for a £10 or £20 bag, and run around like a crazy woman filling it up with vintage goodies.  I came away with 10 vintage, flannel shirts for £20!! Now that’s what I call a bargain.

Iridescent - Miista Shoes

Seriously, what the hell is this weather about? It has been horrendous in London….one minute its sun, then it’s snowing, then rain….please will you make your mind up!!

On a more positive note, I would like to draw your attention to my shoes. Basically, I came across Miista a few months ago, and fell in love with everything on their website. Take a look HERE and I guarantee you will find some shoes you need.  I love them even more because there based in Hackney…my hometown!  These ‘Zoe Iridescent’ purple brogues were number 1 on my ‘wish list’, so I was rather happy when I received them on my birthday.  The boyfriend did well.  Next on my list are the 'ursula-purple-haze' platforms and these snakeskin 'nia-marmol' boots. I best get saving those pennies!

I’m also wearing this printed Kimono from Zara, my acid wash denim shorts and this ‘body chain’, both from Topshop.

If you know me at all, you know how much I love a plan, and as it's spring it’s now time to start planning my summer.  Any suggestions on festivals (home or away), exhibitions, gigs, nights out…please send them my way.

Love

Monochrome Trend S/S13

I’m taking my blog back to the monochrome trend. Like I said Here, the monochrome trend isn’t going anywhere fast, which is perfect because it suits everyone!  You really can dress it however you want.  It’s such a ‘chic’ and simple look to wear, and never fails to gain attention when done well.

So here it goes….

I bought this sweatshirt top from Zara for £39.99 (Buy Here).  Not only does it tick the monochrome trend, but it also ticks that urban / ‘varsity’ trend which also seems to be everywhere right now. Basically, it’s a winner and well worth the money.  The shorts are also from Zara and cost me £22.99 (Buy Here) I weren't too sure if this outfit would work, but it definitely does. 

So let’s go bold in monochrome!

Vintage - Yukon Parka

Just a quick post on this a.m.a.z.i.n.g coat that I’m wearing.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it but it was my birthday last weekend and this was my outfit number 1.  To kick start the weekend, I went and had breakfast at Shoreditch House, followed by shopping on brick lane. Some of you may not know, but Brick Lane is full of vintage shops, vintage markets and one off boutiques. It’s perfect, and anyone coming to London, I suggest you go here.

Back to the coat.  I bought this ‘Yukon’ parka from a vintage shop called Rokit. It looks so unique with little blue flowers embroidered on the bottom, and a fur trimmed hood with fur pom-poms on the hood strings.  It is truly amazing, so when I realised it was only £21, I grabbed it with both hands.
