Style icons of 2013

Good evening!

Now everybody's got over Christmas, stuffed themselves with turkey and lived through the 'eerie period' between Christmas and New Year's Day, it's time for a wardrobe overhaul!

Some style icons that we should be looking out for this year:


1. Azealia Banks

From her kooky mermaid hair to her crazy music videos, there's no denying that Azealia Banks will be big this year. With the likes of ASOS snapping her up for their winter campaign, we'll be seeing her more often. Although her style can be described as 'outlandish', she paves the way for more interesting and new styles.





...

2. Cara Delevingne

With defining eyebrows and long golden longs, we can definitely see why Cara won the 'Model of the Year 2012' at the British Fashion Awards. Having already walked for Chanel and D&G, we can expect big things from her in the future. Plus you can't go wrong with a large collection of onesies!





...

3. Rita Ora

Despite the recent scandals surrounding her, that girl can dress! With no particular style, she changes from urban chic to 50's glam, making her one of the most versatile style icons out there. She goes to prove that we don't need to be scared and stick to one style, why not try out another? Add some dark plum lipstick to vamp up a daytime look or go wild and dye your locks! 




...

Overall, I think this is the year to enjoy ourselves! It took me forever to dye my hair pink, wish I had just been myself a long time ago! So have a lovely day and I will write soon!

2013 trends

Why hello there readers! 

Once again it's been a long while since I've written on here. Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year's Eve. Mine involved a lot of gin, writing 'Mam' on my arm with eyeliner and pretending to be Marina and the Diamonds with a heart on my cheek :/ Yes, in public... So my New Year's resolution is to write on here more! And to consume less crap... like McDonald's double cheeseburgers, Coca Cola and ooo peanut butter... Yeah you see my point ha!




...

Anyhooo 2013 will bring us some more awesome fashion trends. I can see at work new styles slowly creeping in. 
Dungarees will be making a comeback with denim and tailored styles with stockists including Topshop and River Island. The dungarees in the photo are Boutique from Topshop.




...

We will also be seeing a re-emergence of belted floral dresses with lengths between knee and midi.

In terms of makeup, we have the smokey grunge eyes and a new style for the lips, 'vampire shaped lips'. Think gothic romance. I think these lips would look stunning with a vintage black dress to add a bit of drama and uniqueness to your look. Try with a flowing 'Florence-like' dress to have edge but not look as dark! I know I'll be trying these lips out!

Evening!

It's been a while since I posted on here! Jeez, I should get on here more often! 

First of all I have re-discovered the bleach bottle. So my hair's been blue, pink, purple, basically the rainbow. At the moment I've settled for pink.



 ...

Also, my wardrobe has had a change around. I seem to have a tonne more vintage clothes than I used to. Yay for thrifting!

...

I found myself in Leeds Festival over the summer. Full of booze, good music and vomiting indie kids :/ It was a great line up involving Crystal Castles, Foo Fighters and Florence and the Machine. There was an awkward moment when Florence's dress kept moving Northwards but she gave a damn good performance. Here's a photo of Crystal Castles!




...


So that's just a quick update of everything that's went on. Hope you guys are having a good day.

Docs!

Evening!


Yesterday I finally caved and bought some Dr Martens. Mainly as they were £40 less than instore! I've been dying for a pair for a while now but with such a colorful and quirky range, it took me hours to choose. After careful decisions (and a peek into my piggy bank) I settled on the floral print on black canvas. 


I like the idea that despite its spring floral pattern, the black makes it wearable into the chilly seasons. And who doesn't want to prolong their wardrobe?!

Out of the range of colours on offer, I came across some pastel docs! I'm feeling an Alice in Wonderland crossed with a grunge vibe. I love the idea of pastel colours on such heavy boots! They would look amazing with ribbon laces! Throw in a vintage midi dress and they'll be next purchase next payday!


Thank you for reading this once again and I'll leave you guys with the cookie monster :)

Hey!


The sale period has been mental in Newcastle! People are going wild for a bargain which I'm not surprised. Clothes are so expensive these days, but definitely worth the money... most of the time! 

So the other day someone asked me 'what is your exact style?' At first I didn't know how to answer I mean, I change it not just on a weekly basis, but a daily basis. Then I thought, we all change our look depending on the mood we're in. Sometimes I'll wear grunge Creepers with meatballs in my hair or go in looking like Polly Pocket!

For me it's good to be versatile when it comes to fashion otherwise you'll be stereotyped into a 'goth' or a 'prep'. Keep people guessing, that's the key. Plus I've always been fond of the idea that you can play a different character everyday depending on your look. 

If you're still reading then you may be interested in my new look. I love the idea of a granny midi with Creepers.


Anyhow, I better go hunt for food! Thank you for reading!

Hi! 

Haven't posted in ages!! Where to start?! Alright, so after I got paid I went on a crazy ass shopping spree. Worth it? Well I'm raking through my wallet every hour hoping for money to fizzle out of thin air. Apart from that, I'm loving the idea that I have many purchases that will amuse me for... wellllll... a month of so...

...

So this includes one of my purchases from a longgg list! I've always wanted heel-less shoes since I lay eyes on those beautiful Jeffrey Campbell's.


So I bought the cheaper and less wallet-busting versions. <Enter my new shoes>


I was pretty chuffed with them. I decided to test drive them at a party. Pretty easy to walk in although admittedly enough, I did almost tumble a few times (but not fall over fully!)


...


Onto my next new buy. A palm tree bag from Urban Outfitters! It's become my favourite shop recently with all of its vintage shirts and great sale stock. I nabbed this pretty for only £17!


 ...

Next are my River Island splurges. I bought a headband which seem to be pretty major at the moment. I love the whole hippy look so thought it would compliment my new skirt and black crop top nicely.


Obviously more shoes were need. I bought these Flatforms from River Island for £20! I had been eyeing them up for a while so jumped at the cheaper price!


And finally, I bought several dresses but this one in particular is my favourite. I love the whole scenery photo on a dress. As this is a midi dress, I'll team it with creepers, socks and my leather jacket.


...


So once again, thanks for reading and stayed tuned!
