My day has consisted of maths and science revision, watching Austin Powers and falling over in the street.  Whilst falling over in the street, my beautiful pleather trousers ripped.  Sad sad times, but no worries and I fixed them with my sewing machine *party*.  Outfit photos were made possible!

Short post today as I'm off to do lots of Rarity work!  Love you guys.

Studs, Spikes, Faux Fur and Embellishment Blues

Now, I'm not sure about you beauties but I'm having a bit of a fixation with statement jewellery as of late.  By statement jewellery I mean mainly silver and gold jewellery embellished with studs, spikes, chains and gorgeously gothic, possibly dangerous pieces.  Not only jewellery, am I tormented by but also all forms of accessories; be it a faux fur stole (which I heavily praised in a recent OOTD), a sequin trim on a dress or a scattering of spikes on a shoe.
       Obviously my inspiration began on the runways back in February this year with various offerings of embellishment and gothic glory.  But since then, all the street style and look books have infused a huge desire on my part of needing more of these items in my life.

(I don't own any pictures; various from Pinterest, Jameela Jamil for Very, Primark, Tumblr and Google)

It's a perfect transition from the la-de-da-ness of S/S's girly, princess, cutesy fairy land.  Not to say that I didn't enjoy dressing head to toe in pastels and dressing like a dainty little darling.  Or wanting to but have the lack of suitable clothing to work with.  ANYWAY.

       Statement jewellery and luxurious accessories just twist every outfit into something else, something one thousand times better.  Something enviable and utterly desirable to every other stylish woman out there.  They want your style, maybe they even want to be you.

I think what I'm trying to say is that jewellery, in any form, can completely change a persons day-to-day outfit to something that isn't at all day-to-day and more 'I'm a stylish, sophisticated yet urban and chic'.  Totally cool and green-eye provoking. 

On a less happy note, I have two weeks worth of exams starting tomorrow so posting will be even more irregular for a while, but when that is over I'm really planning on stepping up my game.  You will have much better, well written post fuelled with a lot more effort on my part.  Lots more OOTD taken in better backgrounds with better quality where I can and an upcoming look book (will also be up on my YouTube channel) along with my favourite S/S13 runway shows following my Jonathan Saunders post as well as many other exciting things including my new position writing for a friend's magazine...keep reading and all will be revealed soon!

E-tail Webstores Giveaway Prizes

I have something very exciting to post about today;  I won a give away with E-tailwebstores!  The prize was that I got to choose 5 items from Motel and I'm overjoyed with my pieces!  I tried to choose pieces I knew would get a lot of wear out but I wanted a few not so safe pieces that I could try to get out of my comfort zone with.  When the pieces arrived (very quickly, might I add) I was super thrilled to find even the piece I thought I wouldn't love as much as I do (my beautiful handmade playsuit) I'm irreversibly in love with!
Oh and I'd just like to say for this post I've had to use my old camera because my new one has died, so I'm very sorry!

The first piece is this gorgeous sheer black shirt.  It has a asymmetrical dip hem but I didn't manage to get a picture of it (you'll be able to see it in the video at the end),  its really comfortable and just a nice piece that I know I will end up wearing a little too much because I'm just a little bit overly addicted to shirts and collars.  I love the studs on the collar, they're a subtle kind of stud but they still create a lot of drama.  LOVE.

The second piece would be these stunning disco pants!  I got them in the shade 'Pewter Crush' because I thought the black seemed a little too harsh and I knew I'd probably like to experiment with these pieces all the more than basic old black.  I love the way all Motel's disco pants are this 'crush' material; it gives them this amazing texture that I haven't seen on any others before. 

 

Like I said I wasn't sure how I would feel about this playsuit - my mum convinced me into getting it because it's so darn pretty.  It's hand printed and it's utterly beautiful.  I chose it because it looked like 2 seperate pieces and I loved the idea of that as well as how floaty and comfy it looked whilst still being on trend.  I must admit, I'm not usually a playsuit kind of girl but I think I've been turned...

 

This one is pretty simple - a basic black biker jacket.  I've had a blue one for years but I've never had a good quality, black, fitted leather jacket before so I saw my chance and I took it!  I knew without thinking it's going to get an awful lot of wear and it will probably (hopefully) last me a good few years. Hurrah!  

Finally I recieved this breathtaking dress.  When I saw it on the website I umed and ahed because I was pretty sure it would just be one of the pieces we just drooled over whilst it sat in the wardrobe and never got worn.  Yes - it might be.  But as soon as I have a night out to go on, we all know what I'll be wearing!  It's a velvet material that then has the beautiful sequins sewn onto, all over.  Depending on where you are the light bounces off them at lots of different points to make one of the most stunning dress ever!

I'm so happy with all of the pieces so thank you so so much to E-tailwebstores.
