Vibing the 90's

Jumper/vintage//Jeans/Ebay originally Topshop//Belt/Vintage//Boots/New Look//Lipstick in Beguiled by Topshop//

Hello my lovlies!  I'm so excited to be writing to you guys!  I missed blogging frequently over the last month.  I haven't been doing good enough.  But I do have a reason...  I'll get onto that in a minute, I think you'll be happy!

When I put this outfit on I was really feeling a grungey 90's vibe so I chose this vintage jumper with my gorgeous boyfriend jeans (that I won for a steal of £5 on Ebay).  Unfortunately when they arrive I realised they are atleast 4 inches too big, so I've belted them for the time being but as soon as I get my sewing machine on Tuesday/Christmas day (SO freaky how quickly Christmas has come around!)  I will be taking them in.  Depending on if the machine comes with a thicker needles suitable for denim...If not then it will have to wait for me to get one.  If any of you are avid sewers, do any of you know if machines come with more that one type of needle?  Let me know.

Anyway, yeah I tried to girl-y it up with the boots, but really I just wore them because they kind of look like heeled chelsea boots from the front and I'm lusting over that kind of shoe right now.  I've moved on from court shoes and boyfriend jeans now that I have both those things and now need heeled chelsea boots!  Hello January sales....

Please excuse my hair, I've jus arrived home from the last day of school.  No lessons, just sitting in tutor with some of my pals that I've become great friends with over the last 5 years at school before some certificates and awards are given out in an assembly, before all the teachers dress up in stupid costumes and do funny dances/sing songs to current chart songs and so on as a sort of goodbye to the year 11's (me!!) and the rest of the school kind of all sit in a watch from the back.  Anyway, it was rather fun and I didn't really focus on my hair remaining neat so...yes.

Back to my original point!  Why I haven't been here?  I've been setting up the content for my new website - Rarity Fashion.  Rarity is going to be just that.  Fashion.  In a pretty little website focussing on all sorts.  So I've been busy planning that out with some lovely ladies writing for it as well as planning the layout and writing myself.  I'll do a separate post on it when there's more for you.  Follow Rarity on Twitter @rarityfashion or email us at rarityfashion@hotmail.co.uk.

If I don't get to posting anything before Christmas I wish you all a very very fantastic-ly Merry Christmas!  Hope you have the most amazing, lovely Christmas ever!

Lots of love

Black, Gold & a little bit of Faux Fur

Peplum/H&M//Jeans/Topshop//Shoes/Topshop//Leather Jacket/Motel Rocks//Faux Fur Stole/Topshop/Lipstick/Topshop in Beguiled//

I'm well aware this outfit it beyond boring, but in a way, I really liked the simplicity and sophistication of it in all of it's plain black glory.  But then again, some of the most amazing outfits can be all black.  Think Valentino AW12 and Dolce and Gabbana with the gold & black shoes (post on the HOTTIES very soon).

    As the outfit I was all black, I felt like having a tad more fun when editing (although all I do is play with colours and use crop!) and went for a blue-y theme today.  Don't worry, this isn't going to be a regular occurrence, it's just a bit of fun.

   I wore this outfit to go to a friends house for the evening, so it was very casual but I think you could smarten this up with maybe a blazer, some heels and some tapered trousers rather than jeans.

I'm thinking of doing a smart worky/school look book?  What do you guys think?  Leave me comments with what you think!

There's also a video for this look and when it's up, I'll leave a link here for you!

Mustard & Tweed

Shorts - H&M, Jumper - New Look, Shirt - Topshop, Boots - River Island, Collar Tips - Ebay

I tried taking photographs in my bedroom again today but since I've had it done (video will be up on sunday)   I thought I would try and take pictures from a different place in my room, with lovely mum helping me by taking my photos as my usual set up is no longer available due to furniture moving/gone.  It turns out that the lighting in this space is just awful and it took a long time to sort out so I apologise for that but these two photos were really the best of the bunch!  If the lighting wasn't awful then I looked weird, it was just very difficult.  

Today I dressed for autumn as I'm just so ready for it now, even if it was warmish outside.  I had no need to look smart so I went for my tweed shorts highlighting some of the new trends (but annoyingly you can't really see that they're tweed; they are!) but it's such a shame that this beautiful mustardy colour isn't a big trend this season like it was last year because I've just rediscovered this jumper I bought last year and I'm just in love!  It's the perfect shape for how I style jumpers;  I'm forever ending up tucking the front of my jumpers in to whatever I'm wearing on the bottom so the fact that this jumper is shorter at the front than the back is so so handy.  I'm just really hoping that New Look released these again this year so I can pick it up in some more colours, or I will BIG TIME regret not buying all of them last autumn. 

 I went for the white shirt underneath to keep everything smart and put together (and also just so I could wear my new collar tips from Ebay that arrived this morning!).  The collar tips came in a small little pack with gold & silver in but I can't remember the seller so I can't link you to it, but if you just type in on E bay collar tips I'm sure you'll find them, they were about 99p from China or Japan!  

Then I thought I was going to throw on my black patent loafers but went for the boots to make it look less thought out and more chilled out. 

Hope you like it!  Are you looking forward to getting you autumnal clothes out yet?!

Hello pretty ladies!  just been sat around today not really doing much other thank textiles coursework for when I go back to school in september before my boyfriend came round and took these pictures.  He's very tired so refused to take them again when I asked so you'll have to make so with my stupid faces in these ones, I'm sorry.  But he is super cute because he's just fallen asleep curled around me in a ball whilst I sit here writing this.   Aw lew! 

So I'm really liking my hair right now!  it's about half an inch/an inch of the length I want it to be but that's ok because it looks the style I want it! Yay finally!  

I'm about to go to watch Ted so I'll speak to you all later, have a great day!
