Today's Tune

I've had this on repeat for about 3 days now.

The oldies are always the best.

Recent Purchases.

Topshop Aruba Boots.

I got these babies off Ebay for a bargain price of £20.00. (Love good ebay finds!). They're brand new which is even better, however I am feeling a little nervous about wearing them seen as they're cream suede and I am totally rubbish at looking after my shoes. Think I'm going to save them till spring...if I can resist wearing them! Which judging by the fact i have them on right now I doubt is going to happen...

What I wore today.

Reverting back to my Scottish homelands and feeling inspired by what Rhianna wore for her performance on x-factor at the weekend today I went for...TARTAN.

My take...not quite as nice as Rhianna's but hey I like it..

I got the Tartan dress years ago from Forever21 when I was in America and it's one of my dresses that I always forget I have and it sits in my wardrobe untill I 'Rediscover' it. The white lace underneath is actually a dress from Topshop. It's one of my favourites and I wore it too my graduation (which feels so long ago!!).

ps...sorry it's been a while. I've joined the Mac club (wooohooo!!) But it's taken me a while to work out how to use it and get all my stuff off my pc. But I'm back.

Keeping them 'tootsies warm.

After the freezing winter we had last year I'm preparing myself for winter early this year...

*Excuse the rubbish phone camera picture...

It's been a month....A few things I've been spending my hard earned dollah' on...

1. Maxi Skirt- Forever 21 (£18.99). 2. Fake Fur Collar- H&M (£12.99). 3. 'Bisous' T-Shirt- Topshop (£14.00). 4. Oxblood Bodycon Skirt- Topshop (£22.00). 5. Boots- H&M (£24.99).

I have literally been living in the fake fur Collar from H&M, using it pretty much everyday to try and reinvent some of my coats and jackets that have been living inside the back of my wardrobe. I think it really adds a little 'something' to an outfit. I'm not usually a T-shirt kind of girl but I really liked the 'Bisous' one from Topshop (it's a rip-off of this Ashish one, which to be honest I would've preferred but alas my budget wouldn't stretch to that... boo hoo). The Topshop ones a really nice material but I'm waiting to see how it washes, Topshop clothes and I don't seem to have a history of washing well together. I wore the maxi skirt to LFW, I was a maxi skirt virgin before and had visions of me falling flat on my arse on the cobbles of Somerset house but fortunately that didn't happen. It would have been a major fashion faux-pas if it had of. In the words of Rachel Zoe...'I'd die'.

NY&LONDON FASHION WEEK SS12- Rodarte & Ashish.

Inspired By Van Gogh Florals?

Love Rodarte's and Ashish's Summer florals.

NYFW- I heart Jeremy Scott.

I LOVE the make up from Jeremy Scott's SS2012 show. Please someone pass me my eyebrow pencil so I can draw on my freckles. The collection itself is a hoot...glam hillbilly cowgirls. It's just silly and I love the way as always his collection doesn't take itself too seriously.

I need me one of those gun holster belts.

Wow.

I have a girl crush and I'm currently obsessed with model Edie Campbell's 60's doll eyes look. At 15 she was in a Burberry ad and she's also done Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and graced the pages of Vogue not once but twice. I love her easy style, you can tell she doesn't try hard at all and that non-caring pout- wow. She reminds me of a modern day young Marianne Faithfull.

NEED.

Fur Collar Boyfriend Blazer

Topshop £100.

I NEED THIS.

Fancy a cig?

One of my Leeds Festival favourites....(I'm still in recovery mode from the festival so when I'm better you'll have a full report...)

Recommended.

*This is a scheduled post as I am at Leeds Festival woooo.

Benefit eyebrow kit £23.00

I can't live without my Benefit eyebrow kit...It's fantastic little kit for shaping your brow's and highlighting your brow line. Dark eyebrows are very 'in' at the moment and I can not leave the house without having mine perfect. It has a wax that sets your eyebrows and then two shades to fill them in along with highlighting cream and powder and also some handy travel sized tweezers. It is a tad expensive but really worth the money, my kit has lasted me for months. I really feel better when I have used the kit as having perfect eyebrows can add symmetry to your face and make you're eyes bigger.

(I rarely ever get my forehead out...but for the sake of sharing beauty tips I have for you..)

In preparation for Leeds Festival...

Biking.

I love living in London and if you're ever in London I recommend you hire one of the 'Borris Bikes'. My Boyfriend and me made us a picnic and headed to Hyde Park last weekend (we're trying to London on a budget as we are both trying to save money) and for fun we hired a bike each. It cost a pound to gain access to the bikes and a pound for the first hour. It was so fun! We just stayed in Hyde Park as we didn't fancy braving the London roads on a weekend ( Hyde Park is massive anyway so more than enough to cycle round!).

excuse the silly face.

SO FUN!!

We look like twins in our hats but hey...

xoxoxo

Suitable Festival Attire?

Is this hat too much for a festival?......

Hat-Primark £3.00 (!)

.......I think maybe yes, I would definitely obstruct someone's view of the stage.

- Shame!

xoxox

LOVE.

I LOVE Mulberry's a/w campaign with photography (and a film) by Tim Walker and set design by my favourite Shona Heath. It's whimsical and elegant and just so English.

I think the whole thing really captures the brand, I love the choice of song too (Miike Snow, Animal).

I also now want a fox as a pet.

xoxoxo

Recent Purchases- New Look.

When I was back 'up north I popped into New Look and picked up these b-e-a-utiful moccasin shoes. They're so nice I thought it'd be rude not to share them with you.

Moccasin's- £17.99

I think they're perfect for wearing now in summer and will last me into winter, they're really comfy for work too.

Want...

Call me a little bit crazy, I know it's august but I am still lusting over all things a/w. I've already bought an amazing thick knit jumper from Primark (picture to follow when I have my camera back and working again...) and two new pairs of boots including these baby's from Topshop that I got off ebay for a bargain. So added to my a/w wish list is this....

Balenciaga Dog Jumper- £525.

...I know, I know I am dreaming with a price tag of £525 but there's just something about this jumper I really like...I think as it's verging on the edge of cool and utterly tacky. I'm not a dog owner myself, (I wish I was) but I love it. Infact I think a whole range of jumpers should be brought out with a whole range of pedigree's to choose from.*

xoxoxox

*I am aware this range is most probably available for very cheap down some market...if anyone has any leads, hit me up, tar. xx
