Valentine's Antics & Short Life Ramble

I'm late with my Valentine's post, but I've been major busy this week so I'll leave my excuses to the minimum of that extent.  For V day, I cooked Lewis and myself dinner then we just chilled out.  I won't elaborate, you can see it all from the pictures!

home made by me - chicken, bacon and pea risotto!

Yummy gooey in the middle chocolate puddings

My lovely gifts!

on to my outfit!

Dress - UO, Belt & Blazer - Primark, Shoes & necklace - Primark

A very lovely evening!  Although looking back I have no idea why I wore that, because I look absolutely terriblly rough!  I haven't the faintest why I didn't bother doing my hair nicer or sorting out my make up...  Ugh, forever unsatisfied.  Anyway...

I'm feeling truly dissapointed with my style recently.  It's getting more and more boring and same-y.  I need to go on a major shop, I think.  My style is crying out for some major exciting key pieces; namely some accessories and a few stunning pieces that aren't too ordinary.  I don't want to be stuck in a rut of boring clothes!  If you know where I can get some super cool pieces, let me know. 

Especially since I've been reading through every single blogger's LFW posts, I've been feeling like an outsider.  Trust me, I tried to go to LFW but apparently my blog is not good enough at this point.  Lets try next season, eh?  Going to have fashtastic updates and replacements everywhere.  

Okay.  I hope you're looking forward to it.

P.S I've had a haircut...When I asked for it to be cut bluntly and straight on the ends...I got 3 inches off.  I am certainly not happy, reversing all the efforts that it took me over the last year of growing it to the length it was but, I'll just have to rock it in a slightly different way.  Sure I can do it.

LOTS OF LOVE

Fashion Week Favourites: LFW Jonathan Saunders

After watching Jonathan Saunders' A/W 12 collection, I was expecting an elegant, pretty display of colours, print, embroidery and textures for Spring and Summer.  Although I was proven correct in the display of textures I was not expecting the lavish, demanding look that stomped down the runway.  Despite being famous for his prints, Saunders let them take a slight back seat and shine out lightly yet noticeable throughout his evolving collection.

The colour palette is definitely a difference compared to that of last years sweet, tangy pastel hues (not only from Saunders, we all know) and I'm loving the completely metallic, modern take on things.  The clean lines and slinky, low neck line fit feels very modern and now, something that woman want after a previous spring/summer season of cutesy prettiness the current a/w grungy goth sex appeal thing we've got going will be carried over in a more elegant feminine way yet staying very much within that sexy, innovative vibe giving woman that cutting edge glamour.

Stunning separates, minimalistic prints, heavy sequinned embellished pieces and a punky 70's flare for the collection.  This punky, disco theme means the burgundy lips, dark eyes and round sunnies fit right in.

Each look was different in its own right yet all intertwining to create a collection of memorable, avant-garde pieces.  A collection well done.

I personally really like it.  What do you think?  Is there any collections you would like a post on over the next few weeks or so?  The next post will consist of gorgeous collections for s/s13 so make sure you tell me you favourites. (None of the images are my own.)
