Carnival Freak Chic...

So I've recently been playing around with a bit of a Galliano'esque
look, reaching towards a slightly creepy carnival freak look.
John Galliano understands that 'fashion is art'
and that 'art is a circus'
and that 'fashion is a circus'.

 Here I Wear:
Kate Moss for Topshop Jacket
Glamorous Disco Pants
H&M Hat

 Here I Wear:
FREAK OF NATURE 'Looks That Kill' Dress
H&M Hat

I feel this look particularly channels Galliano's 2009 Rushian Babushka Collection





 'Circus Of Freaks'. 'Lost Gypsies'.

80s Casuals!

So I was recently trawling through Ebay - Okay it's more like a daily occurence!!

And have fallen in love with retro 80s Casuals Clothing!!
My particularly proud purchase was this Crazy Neon Fluro Jacket! It so FuN!


  



















You can get similar jackets on places like ASOS Marketplace, Etsy and Ebay
Here's a few more i liked the look of!






Hope you like the look of a few of these, I got my jacket
for a bargain £4.50, so get searching now!

Oh What Fun We Had.

I recently took a flight back home to visit my family, and what a lovely week I had!
Shopping, Eating-Out, Partying, London, Friends, Family and Granny... 
An action-packed time!

Whilst being home I treated myself to a few cheeky items:

 My first purchase was this GENUINE Russian Cosack Hat, of which has suede lining on the inside. 
Super cosy and warm - It's not leaving my head until the sun shines!
These hats are everywhere this winter, get similar one's now 
in Primark (£6.00)
 I wore this hat to dinner (The Plough Inn - #1 Pub 2013) with:
H&M Maroon Jumper
Jack Wills White Silk Shirt
H&M b&w Pattern Trousers
Black Underground Creepers

 Another exciting home-purchase was this GENUINE Vintage handbag.
The lovely detailing and fastening make this a unique find!

 Here are my Underground Creepers!
I am never seen not wearing them these days as they are SO comfortable
and especially in the winter rainy months my feet won't be getting damp
with the large sole- RECOMMEND.
Get identical one's from New Look (£20.00)

 Seeing my friends at home was a true treat, where we had some lovely dinners and even saw Daniel Craig stripping down in the Cinema (007 is awesome!)

Becky handmade me this handbag as a gift using Cath Kidston Fabric.
Such a nice fabric and excellent size for my uni books
THANK YOU!

 That's All This Time Guys, 
Til Next Time!

A Light Dusting of.. Pastels Pink and Purple!

Firsty, Apologies all it has been so so long - I am back!

So I have recently been upto lots and lots.. including getting
 a new job (woo money!) and working on photo-shoot ideas
 to be used within the magazine I'm creating as part of my course.

So today was a cold day in Aberdream, surprise surprise, but
to brighten up my day wore a nice array of Purple, Pastels and Pinks!
I am not one to wear pink or very girly clothes on a frequent
 occasion, if ever, so today was a one-off but was actually pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Boat Shoes - Topshop
Handbag - Longchamp
Necklace - Urban Outfitters
Pastel Pink Blazer - New Look
Faux Fur Gilet - Primark
Floral Shirt - Miss Selfridge
Floral Jeans - Topshop

As you can see, I am wearing a pastel pink blazer over a
 multi-floral shirt. My jeans are actually a really faint all-over
 pastel floral print too (shown below) topped off with my pink boat
shoes. Seeing as Scotland is freezing I have slung a faux fur gilet
over for warmth.

Rose Pastel Jeans - Topshop
BARGAIN OF THE CENTURY:
So the other day whilst meandering the isles of Topshop
 Mid-Season Sale came across the these BEAUTIES of a boat shoe...
The bright pink top shoe and also the neon pink soles add a
really fun twist to the tradition brown leather manly boat shoe and
all came in at £4.50.
I KNOW. I KNOW. I had to double-take about 5 times because I
 couldn't believe it myself, and also the ONLY pair in a magical size 5.
They were practically born for me!


Topshop Fun-Sole Boat Shoe £4.50.
Bye For Now!
