'Boogie!'

Do you like my little belt? I bought it from a Vintage shop although; it’s not big enough to go totally hands free on the bag front! I think it's probably the ideal size for a night out when you just want to 'Boogie!' Oh god its happened... I have turned into my Nana! Who says 'boogie?' Me evidently and now I am getting slightly side tracked! Anyway I am still loving the mid length skirt evidence given below!

Grunge

Isn’t the grungy look so easy to get right? Today I literally threw on a black dress I found in a charity shop, my boyfriends shirt and a pair of shoe boots and I was good to go!! I can understand why Mary Kate loves it so much and more recently Miley Cyrus, its almost like a coming of age trend. Maybe it looks so good because it consists largely of black clothing? I think it also works well as a look because it's so effortless to put together. But the girls that really get it right are the ones with the ‘don’t give a shit’ aire about them! Basically, it just looks cool! So here I am trying to look like a don't give a damn!

P.s I know I said I would post about my D.I.Y project today but I decided to make it into a video so it's easier and funnier to watch. I promise it will be posted on my blog this week!

Summer Dresses and Windswept Dreams

What a difference a few days make, let alone a week. I think this is depicted perfectly in the picture of the outfit I wore today. Well, not so much my outfit, more the setting, from beautiful Venice to an English Concrete jungle. I love this dress and wore it several times on my travels. Now I am back in England I teamed the dress with some vintage boots and a fringed cardigan, 'YEAP' defiantly not in Venice now. Today I decided to customise some old jeans of mine into shorts which I will post tomorrow.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend!!

Sunday Vogue

Good afternoon all!! 
Yes, I am a fashion stereotype, I read Vogue and Elle to name a few. But after a summer spent in endless airports and hours spent people watching, I started to think does anybody actually read Vogue or is it more of fashion accessory? I have come to the conclusion… YES, some people do use the publication as a status symbol. Which, in fact, is a real shame as the calibre of writers that showcase there articles in these publications are generally overlooked for the status of carrying a vogue and ‘looking’ fashionable. I suppose you could argue that I am one of those people, as I often will flick through Vogue just to look at the pictures. But is that such a shame when the talented- photographers exhibit such amazing pictures? Is it surely not like viewing art? Here I go with my Cliché spiel about how Fashion could be classed as a sculpture or even instalment art, but you have probably heard this a million times. For me I simply love spending a lazy Sunday afternoon drinking tea and reading through my old Vogue’s (how fashionable of me), and true to form this is what I have decided to do today. After all isn't that what Sundays should be all about? Reading, drinking tea and eating good food.
How are you spending your Sunday? Do you think people carry Vogues as a status symbol?
