Bitter morning

Dear English weather, wtf? We have had a stunning week then all of a sudden snow :/ when this photo was taken it was abso freezing and the has been my most drastic attempt at layering clothes yet. Also I have new pants, but try not to notice the pants, ( I don't want this post to be about the pants- ill do another one for them haha) infanct I have many new exciting beautiful lovely clothes ( and SHOES- such an amazing pair I got for my birthday off my bf still deserve a post all in themselves) also, this is my first post done completely from my iPad-yay!

However I think a few of them may wait till Cannes :D

Here's a photo of transitional dressing From the satorialist, I love the colours of different textures here, and tropical snake prints make me dream of summer,mmmm.

Now you can see my poor attempt at transitional dressing for basically winter weather, bringing in brights.

Yes I'm wearing a shirt, a jumper, a cardigan, and a trench.

I love the bright shade of this jumper, it's like a candy ice cream and is almost identical to the shade of my bag.

I like layer shirts under things, and seeing the collar, I need more shirts and things to layer them under, hehe.

These are the pants, like I say I'll do a proper post with them later, they are the most beautiful, comfortable soft leather pants from gestuz.

My outfit today
Shoes:topshop sale
Leather pants:gestuz
Printed shirt(under):vintage
Jumper:topshop sale
Cardigan: tkmaxx
Trench:tkmaxxx ( Calvin Klein)
Bag:mulberry

Depending on the weather, hopefully my next post can be a bright one, let's keep our fingers crossed,

I'm also after a hat for Cannes...mmm only about a month left to wait, don't forget to leave comments and I'll pay all your blogs a visit!

Be back soon,

Bright Start

It's march and currently 20 degrees, for north England this is amazing so best to make use of this early summer were having now because any money by July it will be pissing it down. I was inspired to try the midi length dress by this photograph on the satorialist, as soon as I saw this I wanted to re-reate the effortless effect it had, yes this is August last year, by that time english summer was well over but I never forgot that look, and when I came across a topshop number I snapped it up.

It was still winter when I bought this dress so I paired not with opaque tights and black ankle boots. Now I can finally release its summer potential ;). I'm wearing it with my ugg trainers I snapped up in the summer sales last year, and the most versatile ( and favourite atm) piece in my wardrobe, my calvin klein trench coat/dress, a pure bargain I picked up from tkmaxx last year for £40 ( I considered it an investment that really has payed off!)

 

I love these trainers they are so cute ^.^

 

My full outfit
Sunglasses: ray ban from eBay
Dress: topshop
Belt: hairband from topshop
Trainers: ugg
Trench/dress: Calvin Klein
Bag: asos

Soon I will do a post wearing this as a dress to show you how magic it really is! It is really easy to layer up, so much so I have just bought another summer jacket like this, although this one has no arms at all.

Hope your all enjoying this lovely weather just as much as I am, finally we can enjoy the sun... BARE LEGS.  Summer dressings is one of my favourite parts of fashion, i love being able to wear clothes to there full potential and be comfortable (without not freezing to death)

How do you wear midi lengths?

Black maxi

Weather is finally warming up, but this morning it was so foggy! I have been after a black maxi skirt for a while now, this is actually a dress, which is one sleeved, it was given to me by my ( very generous) friend! It's super tight and is made from nylon and getting dressed is basically like putting a pair of tights on all over your body!

I've layered it up here with a silk vintage shirt, given to me by my mam! I love the print on this shirt, it's like a really small leopard print and the colours go with anything summer or winter. It's buttons keep falling off so I usually fasten it to the top with my Vivienne Westwood pin badge.

The shoes you have seen before and the jacket is new from h&m and it's a lovely cropped little number for when you need to dress a bit cooler in the weather.

I just added a belt to give a bit of shape as the shirt is so loose and it ended up looking like an (unintentional) peplum top. Oh well, fine by me. I haven't tried the peplum trend yet and tbh I'm not sure if I will invest, have you?

My complete outfit
Dress as skirt: all saints
Shirt: vintage
Cropped blazer: hmm
Shoes: Melissa
Belt: asos


Let me know your thoughts on my look today, and if theres a different way you would wear something! As always leave your blogs as i will pay them a visit too!

Versace!

So here it (finally) is! My versace dress...
It has to be my most beautiful dress I have ever purchased <3 The first time I saw it back in October 2011 in Vogue, I knew I had to have it, The goregous Japanese print, (the fan is my favourite!)
I saw Marni and I was not impressed ( not enough to queue at half 5 in the morning anyways) So I gave that one a miss, I still stand by Versace's collaboration being the most exciting with hnm so far.. but that is probably cause I'm print crazy. ( As we already know)

The silk is super thick and it actually is a really warm dress! It looks a lot better minus tights (why do tights spoil everything? come on summer). This photos pretty old so it's looking a little frosty here ( which it isn't now- yay!)

One of the nice details about this dress is the back, its cut open which is beautiful! I love backless things and I think if i got a tattoo anywhere it would be either here or on my arm. :D

Im pretty sure you have seen this clutch before ( I'm after a new one, a big big clutch can use during the day (day time clutchs ftw)

My outft:
Dress: Versace for H&M
Clutch:ASOS
Shoes: Carvela

Just a short one today!

I have A trip to London & Cannes in May, so much to look forward too, exciting times!

Please leave your lovely blogs on your comments - Would love to see your purchase, and any London shopping tips!

Digital skirt

I'm back!

Aaaaand it's still winter in england >.< But hope comes in the form of acid bright jumpers and digital prints to bring a little bit of colour back into our lives. I love the length of this skirt, it's so easy, it should look a little longer but the wind messed it up (god it was windy)

As soon as I saw this skirt in Topshop I knew I had to have it, it's not often I find a print I'm that fond of that cheap. It reminds me slightly of the prints that come from Peter Pilotto and Matthew Williamson. What do you think?

My outfit:
Jesus, it's all from topshop,(minus the mulberry) the Jumper and shoes from the sale. (Oopsy) I forgot a decent part of my wardrobe actally comes from their sale then I go along saying how I hate how everyone buys from there and you all end up with the same thing!

Lets hope no one has this combo ;)

To finish on, Im searching for amazing affordable prints <3 Did i mention I love prints hahaha. Also. OMFG how did I not know about this Mary Katranzou dress its surely one to rival my Versace perchase? (Which I haven't even done a post on but here it is

That reminds me- I'll do my next post on that :)

So post a good few designers who have amazing prints if you know any, the more unusual the better! ( I found an amazing guy called Yosef Perez- Israel designer)
The usual with comments- leave all your lovely blogs I'll pay them a visit ^.^
Untill then!

Loopy Lexa

First of all, I know post has took a while, I'm not even going to begin to go into how busy I am. So this is THE Mulberry bag, THE mulberry bag that replaced having a iPad case.. it was ridiculously discounted (obviously) I think the RRP was something ridiculous like £900 or something and i got it for a mere (harhar) £265. I got it from the York Outlet ( which was why my last post was in york) and it was reduced twice so HAPPY TIMES. I love the print, i love the colours coming through, I love how each one was different and it took me so long to pick the one I wanted! I think this bag was made for me to pick it up! I could honestly just admire it for hours!

Also, I was dying for a pair of heels I could easily wear through the day/night! And i found my perfect pair half price (£35) I thought they might be uncomfortable as I'm usually allergic to anything that does not have a platform but the chunky heel sorts that problem out!

Today Im Wearing: Top: Vintage Scarf: Vivienne Westwood (SALE) CArdigan: TKMAXX Skirt: Topshop (SALE) Shoes: Topshop (SALE) P.s ignore my tired miserable face result of no sleep and stress. So its still cold but I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT FOR SPRING. I HAVE BOUGHT HALF MY SPRING WARDROBE ALREADY. BUT I CANT WEAR IT ALL YET :( Plenty of blue green leather prints all sorts :D I always get excited when new season comes, when winter comes round I usually say I prefer winter fashion but it's LIES. I want to be on a beauitful city break wearing S/S clothes and NO TIGHTS. I'm thinking venice. But i probably will and freeze doing it :) Until then <3

York

Hello! My look today is from my lovely little trip to Yorkshire, I did plenty of walking (shopping) eating and drinking coffee. We managed to catch our train (just) at half seven and got a late train back at quater past 9!

It's a little blurry but I love train station photographs, I love them when they're busy, its a much more effective photo that way. Anyways I thought this was pretty, this was took at nearly 9AM and its not properly light yet!

The weather was a nightmare to deal with this day, I remember I had to keep sheltering my bag from the rain (lime green lambskin doesnt deal with it.) Countless umbrella-inside-out moments and cold feet :(

My Outfit
Dress: ASOS Sale
Cardi: TK Maxx
Bag: Mulberry (York outlet naturally)
Shoes: Topshop

It was lovely nevertheless! These photographs were taken on Shambles, the most picturesque street in Europe! (Although I'm sure the bf said it was the most visited or something!) Anyways, it is so pretty, I love cobbled streets (does anyone else like the clippy cloppy sound shoes make on them too) so what better place for a shot!

I think I need more shirts ( or shirt dresses) in my life like this one! As you know im loving blues but I think its safe to say anything that is green/blue/yellow/orange or nude is mine this season.

Now, I know I need to show you my new Mulberry, I promise the post will come soon, I need good photos and I can't get them as I havent had a day off in a while and I need the natural light! ( me no likey flash)

Will keep you updated!
