Photography

Hello! Why am i so busy at the moment? I thought after my exams i'd have nothing but the true is I haven't had 5 seconds for myself! One reason i have been busy was because I've been planning for the photography exam (which i wasn't aware i had).Photography is one of favorite subjects and I'd like to share some of my work on my blog! I spent my whole day editing photos in the theme of 'Up Close and Personal'. So,I had to take self portraits which shown my personality. It took a while but i finally came up with a idea and here was my final result...

In these photos I'm wearing my over-sized pin striped shirt which i love!

 The idea behind was to do a split  personality. My face you could see was my serious/academic side! The other side  i decided to use the Andy Warhol image of Marilyn Monroe,this was to stand for the fun,creative side to me, where i love fashion and also a laugh!

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!

Pineapple Trunks

Hello, this post is about my outfit i also wore in Portugal. My favourite pineapple shorts! I brought these from river island awhile ago and never really knew what to wear then with? Plain white tee? Matching yellow or green top? Whatever I wore them with just never felt right and never gave the fancy pants enough credit. But using my technique of 'try everything on with everything' i matched them up  with my large pink shirt.

 Also,i now have motel rocks banner added to my blog,on it it includes a code. That lovely code can get you 15% off your purchases at http://www.motelrocks.com/shop/

Here a few of my favourite pieces.  

Solid colour

Heyyy, I'm not sure if you noticed but recently I'm having bigger breaks between posts.This isn't because I'm lazy or 'too busy'.But i simply do not want to turn into a blogger who posts for the sake of posting! However,alot of planning and pictures have gone into this post,it could be the best one yet...


So me and VICKI went Leicester on Saturday and as well as seeing every girl wearing American print, we saw one women wear a pink outfit. 3 different shades of pink. This women wasn't a Alexa Chung of the world and so we laughed but this did make me think...
You can't say these outfits don't go,right?

White

linen trousers,white shirt,sliver crop top

Minty blue

 jeans and frilly top

 Beige 

Blazer,top and skirt

 Baby Pink

 Shirt and jeans

 Black and White

 leggings and ripped top

So.. what goes better than baby pink jeans? A baby pink top? Do you think its works..

Cupcakes and Clothes

I've decided to bring my two all time Favourites together! Cupcakes and Clothes! All last week both the outfit and the recipe were on the top of my TO-DO LIST! The recipe was one i found online the weekend before. Dark chocolate and bacon. These ingredients inspired my outfit this week which infact is a little different to what i normally wear (long skirt or dress rarely fit me).  So how do you wear a dark chocolate and bacon cupcake outfit?

 

As you can see the dark chocolate cake covered in dark chocolate icing. This is the base, just like the black skirt i'm wearing. Both are dark and bold! (Are you with me?) Then the crispy bacon chunks give the cake that extra pop of favour and excitement,just like my lime green top, the flash of neon adds favour and excitement to my outfit.


 And there we go.. I have read about 3892 times bloggers need to bring something different to the internet and therefore i've mixed fashion with cakes. What will next be in my mixer and on my shoulders? 

Sunglasses

I mentioned in one of my previous posts that i've ordered 2 new pairs of sunglasses!! Well my first pair arrived today. Just in time for my concert on Saturday,lets hope the others arrive before my hols. 

Apologies for poor quality, had to rush,my dinner was waiting!

Sales 

Last but not least i'd like everyone to be aware of all holidays sales, me and my mum popped into topshop yesterday to do our bit!! Asos's one is also pretty impressive. 

Double Denim Dancing

So.. I have been developing my layout on my blog a lot recently and so decided to keep this post until the weekend! These photos were taken last weekend when i took my dog (Dizzee) on a walk. I am of course 'rockin' the double denim look along with a starry crop top (previously seen in 'Long Shorts' post).Aswell i have a pair of old 'retro' sunglasses on my head while i'll wait for my 2 new pairs to arrive!!

Like i said earlier,i have changed my blog layout (colours,header,text,ect..) I think I'm finally happy  but don't be shocked if its all changed by next week! As always,i'm open to your opinions on blog so don't be afraid to comment or get in touch!

I'm wearing a car!

Remember my last post about inspiration from our own forms of transport? And i told you all how i'll show you my own 'transport' theme outfit? Here it is... I find my outfit more motor-bike type. Of course it was the only day the sun has come out for over a month when i needed to put on my leathers pants (H+M). I find my top (new look) very bike-jacket like with the tassels. Also again i'm wearing my big black boots.

Would you wear a car?

Would you wear a car? I don't mean putting a car wheel around your neck or a windscreen as a headband. But today while I was in the car, as I peered around i noticed how designers may take inspiration from our man made machines.

Racetrack colours, also 60's mod dresses pull off the black and white.

Lana Del Ray looking effortlessly amazing in her biker jacket.

Metallic is big in 2012, from shoes to trousers. Inspired from car wheels maybe?

Aswell these and other disco pants have similarities to sliver car bonets.

Turning biker leathers into a fashion item

Oh so biker boots..

In 2011 Phoebe Philo said her A/W 2011 collection was inspired by luxury car inferiors 

So 'wearing a car' doesn't seem that odd after all. Next task for me is to show you my car 

inspired look. So keep posted until I put it up.
