Girly Tie

Female ties? Do or not? The fact I had to go into my dad's wardrobe to borrow one may already made it wrong.. You can't fault a female wearing a tie will only draw attention! A male wearing one always gives him a formal look to them but what does it add to a women's outfit? Celebrities like Laura Bailey and Gwen Stefani are a few risk takers who have tried to pull of the masculine look,but it wasn't recently us girls have stole this trend. Diane Keaton frequently wore a tie as she acted Anne Hill in the 70s. But in wasn't until brands like Ralph Lauren and Miu Miu brought them back on the catwalk that made us girlys go tie shopping.

Blue Tiger

Hello...Its fashion month!!! I'm getting so distracted from my postings as I'm so busy keeping up with all the collections! Have you seen many? Any favourites?
Right,as everyone else,i also seem to want to step up my game as fashion week has arrived! I realised my posts have become a little repetitive,the same bedroom photos in my summer outfits.After this post I've decided i want to change things around a little and add more outside photos and add a autumn theme. But for now...
I love my top, I just think the colours are very bold.Along with some red 3/4s I decided to clash it all with my bomber jacker.

Born This Way Ball

Yes,last night i attended Lady Gaga's amazing tour. I am big for gaga and have been waiting for the night for months and finally it arrived!! I belted out every song, danced and also dropped  my chocolate waffle on a poor women sitting in front of me! I have been having such a busy weekend i had no time to plan my outfit! Going dressed in meat or having diet coke cans in my head wasn't my thing,instead i tried to clash 'lady-like' with causal street style! So I put on my vintage shirt with my fave blue leggings and my edgy cross necklace with my pearl one.

The Un-wanted Uniform

This was always a post which i didn't know whether to do it or not! Summer is now over for me as I started back to school yesterday! This means I now have put back on my blazer and tie. My uniform really isn't my thing. I just find it very boy-ish, through-fore this year I have tried my best to make it as girly as I can. That is a little odd for me as normally my style isn't very innocent but i can't help but label my skirt as 'sweet'. I also add small and simple pieces of accessories to give it that extra personal touch.

I really do love my little black boots!

Three Shades!

So today I brought Look mag and on page 9 there was a great article on Olivia Palermo look! She wore a 'combo berry coloured' outfit,where she wore three types of berry colours in her outfit. Her top,trousers and bag were all closely related colours but were a varied of textures. Loving it so much i tempted it myself but with a mix of greens and blues.

Happy Birthday Elisha!

It was my darlings Elisha's birthday yesterday! Of course she made up dress up to celebrate her long waited special day. It could one of the last opportunities for us girls to wear our summer dresses so we didn't want it be wasted! I decided to wear my short gold dress which I brought last year and I layered it with my denim shirt. To finish the look i put on my black and white wide-heel shoes from river island which i love!

Injection Of Leather

A awful event happened over 24 hourss ago and i still cant get over it. I lost out on bidding on a leather skirt by 20p,20p!! I'm still raging.But as i calmed down and told myself 'everything happens for a reason' I remembered I had my dark red leather shorts stored in my wardrobe which have never really been wore. I told myself whatever the weather,sunshine,rain or snow I will wear these shorts tomorrow!!

 I think my lens was a little dirty, though-fore the quality of the pictures aren't great :(

Light colours in the light sun

Hello,so this outfit is for the Olympics. As you may see i'm not taking part in the 100m female final,instead i watched the females football final,usa vs.japan. 80,000 people were there, pretty impressive for a female's game.
Anyway,i wasn't completely sure what to wear,was it going to be warm? would it rain? shall i paint the american flag all over my body? Its been a while seen i wore some colour jeans, and it is summer after all so i added my fave light orange top from H+M.
