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.

(Embracing) Dungarees.

 Excuse the awful 'pun' ^^^^^ but I do really fancy getting myself some dungarees. I think they're so versatile and perfect for mix and matching and also very transitional from summer to winter. I'm not sure how I feel about going the whole way and getting full length dungarees as I think for me personally it wouldn't be very flattering (when you're 5ft nothing all in ones tend to not flatter- I find that in anyways), I'd feel like I was a triple threat in denim....although some of these coloured ones are perhaps not so in you face. Here's my pick of the selection asos have to offer.

1. Sonia Rykiel £245.00. 2. Mango £47.99 3.See By Chloe £310.00 4. Cheap Monday £112.00

To be honest, they're all a bit out of my price range (very out of it in fact) so I am going to have a scout around for a vintage one perhaps.

Boys and Birthdays.

My boyfriend's birthday is very fast approaching and as much as I love him I don't half struggle to get him presents....However, I feel this year I may have just done a good job and (hopefully) got him something he would like. On the subject of buying for boys I have put together a little pick of presents for boys. I would put a selection of what I've bought my boyfriend Jack, but knowing my luck he'd end up reading this and it would spoil his surprise!

1. 'The Teds' book by Chris Steele- Perkins and Richard Smith.

A book full of some amazing photo's and hairstyles to be jealous of, documenting the 'Ted's' in their hay-day.

2.Fred Perry Pin Dot Oxford shirt.

A timeless classic that will make any boy very dapper.

3.Suede Brogues from Asos.

See above number 2...

4. Amsterdamn Bike

Being the hopeless romantic I am I'd quite like to get me and my boyfriend a tandem bike for 2 but I know he (and many other boys) would laugh so an Amsterdamn bike for him (and one for me!) would be the next best thing.

5. Moleskin Notebook.

For all his thoughts and love notes about his beloved...hehe.

Shop full of Horrors

So I braved Primark yesterday. That may seem like a weird way to put it, but if you're not familiar with Oxford street Primark you won't know how it is hell on earth. I had heard some right horror stories about the mess and the manic crazy people who shop there and it had put me right off going- in fact to the point where I'd managed to avoid going in there the last 5 months I have lived here. But alas I am a bit poor at the moment yet had a need to shop so I took a deep breath and went in. It was horrific, considering I went at like 6pm on an evening I have never seen anything like it, it paid off though as I picked myself a right treat of a bargain.This (what I think is) very cool and fun summer dress with flamingo's. I know probably me and about 50,000 other people in the country will have it but I don't care for £9.00 (!) I couldn't really say no. I'm debating maybe change the buttons on it but it depends if I can really be bothered, and even if I don't the little gem buttons on it aren't too horrid. I'm going to wear it with my new brogues from asos, some white lace-frill socks from urban outfitters and hopefully a TAN on my legs, as right now they're so white they're see-through.
