Recent Purchase.

I bought this beauty last week from the London Science Museum (yeah...I took a little trip there with my papa).

Lomography 4-in-1 Action Sampler.

I got it for like £15.00 in the sale in the gift shop (bargain!), I'm going to take it to Leeds festival with me (my friend Harriet has very kindly managed to blag us some v.i.p tickets...heellllooooo).

I dip died/ombred my hair for the first time a few months ago and have been re-doing it every so often. I really like my hair at the moment colour wise but dying it was literally turning it into yellow straw (not such a great look) so I had a little look around for some deep moisturising treatment and picked up the VO5 Moisture soak Hot Oil and was so impressed with the result. It's not that expensive either I got a pack of 4 treatments for something like £3.50 from Boots  and it is so easy to use. You just place one tube in a cup of hot water to warm up the oil then in the shower you just rub it into all of your hair and leave it for a minute or two..then afterwards you just have to make sure you wash it completely  out of your hair otherwise if it's left on you get a nasty greasy head. You just wash and condition your hair as normal and style as you would normally. The results are so good, my hair was really soft and back to it's former condition before I wrecked it with dye and it only takes a few minutes worth of treatment. I was very very chuffed. I just use it every couple of weeks or so when my hairs feeling a bit rough.

I definitely recommend it if your hair is feeling a bit poorly.

What I wore.

I really, really hate having my picture taken, I hate my silly little face in pictures but as I do want this blog to be about fashion and be personal it is inevitable that pictures of me should show up on here sooner or later! So here's my first kinda proper outfit post including yours truly...moi!!

(notice...head down so you can't see me...hehehe).

Bowler Hat- Portabello Market

Top- Topshop

Skirt- Topshop

Boots- Asos.

This was just something I put on to do abit of shopping and strolling with my boyfriend, It's a bit Topshop heavy I know, the skirt was a sale bargain (£10.00) and I love it, very summery and very easy to wear and the lace top is one of my favourites I got it a while ago from Topshop and I've rediscovered it lately, it's nice to wear in summer as even though it's longsleeved it feels light as it's lace. The bowler hat has been on my head alot lately as I'm not sure what the hell is going on with my hair at the moment!

&...what he wore...

Well it would be rude not to show you what my boyfriend wore too.

Denim jacket- Charity shop

'Burberry' shirt- Charity Shop

Loafers...Charity Shop!!!!

My boy has an eye for some good charity shop finds!

Skying

The Horrors have come  a long way from their gothic beginnings (don't get me wrong..I used to love them then). Their new and 3rd studio album 'Skying' feels more mature and considered than their early stuff - infact I'd even go as far as to call it somewhat of a 'feel good' summer album, which is very far away from their early days of 'Farris Rotter', 'Spiderwebb' and 'Coffin Joe' (again- at the time I loved all that...but looking back it's so gimicky). They've shed all the black and all the silly names; Farris is now Farris Badwan and I can't stop listening to their latest offering.

Studio XAG.

I came across studio XAG the other day, a visual merchandising and  art direction  team who have designed and installed some amazing bespoke window displays for people such as Christian Louboutin, Diesel and Fred Perry.
The 'Cattarpillar' window they installed for Christian Louboutin is so fun and quirky and visually stunning, I love their use of paper within the design.

As well as doing window displays and interior fits they also do fascia installations, I'm not a huge fan of the Diesel brand but I love the way Studio XAG transformed the front of the Carnaby street store into a 'radio'.

Outfits.

I was browsing on ASOS.com and came across the 'outfit builder' app they have on there site. You can do things like this on photoshop and other sites but if you're a bit of a technophobe like me you will find this so easy. You can browse through a whole load of clothes (not just from asos but from stores like missguided, rare, french connection...) and simply drag the item you want to start building up your look. You can then upload it for others to see (and rate) or simply save for yourself to keep for inspiration. I am addicted!
Here's two I've quickly done...(I was going for a grungy/glam/festival thing...like I say I did them quickly!).

Along with saving the image it saves where the clothes are from, the cost and all you have to do is click on the link and you are redirected to whatever site you need to buy them. It's fab.

Hello Remix

I can't stop listening to Metronomy's new album and I am loving this remix too.

Definitely one of my favourite summer songs.

Wish List

I haven't done a 'wish list' post in a while purely because I am trying to save and stop myself lusting over clothes I really shouldn't buy! However this one doesn't count because a) It's Topshops lookbook for AW11 so technically, technically I have a little while before some of this stuff comes out so hopefully by then I can afford to splurge and b) It's toooo nice not to mention!! I love it.

Do you see what I mean?? So nice! I've said it a few times I do miss working at Topshop so much especially the discount and also when we used to get sent through the previews for trends. My bank balance is a lot healthier for not working there though I must say! Find more of the looks here.
