Chloe Sevigny.....This girl is just so effortlessly cool and a major style inspiration.

ps...sorry for the delay, I was a little too 'worst for wear' (aka hungover) to post yesterday!

Recent Purchases- River Island.

1.Dark Beige Embossed Belt £16.99 2. Pansy face Leather Strap Watch £19.99.

Accessories are the one thing I tend not to purposefully go out and spend money on (except Rings which I have hundred's of and if I could I would wear hundred's of at a time!). Usually I tend to 'acquire' bags, belts and so on- the majority of the time from my mums loft which is like a shrine to leather bags. But my good friend Jordan had got given a £100.00 voucher for River Island for attending a press day and he kindly offered to take me there to help him spend it.(God I love having a best friend who works in fashion!). Anyway, River Island isn't a shop that I tend to go in but I was really pleasantly surprised!  In the past I had been put off as their stuff tended to be em-blazed with diamanté River Island logos on literally everything (especially the back pocket's of jeans). But their spring/summer collection is really sweet, very floaty and gypset-like but they also have a great range of key colour blocking pieces and I love their 'Chelsea Girl' collection (a nod to the former name of River Island).
For now I picked up these two pieces, The belt I have been wearing pretty much every day since I got it, It goes with everything and is really nice for pinching in floaty summer dresses for a more fitted feel, the embossed print on it is really sweet as well, adding a bit more interest rather than a boring old plain belt (and also the floral print puts my boyfriend off wearing and borrowing it which as a plus because he is constantly stealing my trusty Topshop plaited belt!). The watch is just really cute as well and I have been looking for a watch for ages so I was really pleased when I spotted this one! I am lusting after quite a few River Island pieces so you can expect a wish list very soon!

Wish List

1.Polka dot  jersey playsuit £30.00. 2. 'Kosy' Black studded slippers £55.00. 3. Semi Precious stone ring £12.50. 4. Black satchel Bag £28.00. 5. Sleeveless tie front shirt £24.00. 6. Floral high waisted denim shorts £34.00. 7. Floral Bow collar top £24.00 8. Black sporty maxi skirt £30.00

Oh How I do miss working in Topshop and having my (dangerous) staff card that got me 25% off. It's bad how quickly I can get to Oxford circus topshop (about 20 minutes on a bus from my house), I feel the pull to go in all too much. Pay day needs to hurry up so I can buy myself some treats.

Wednesday Song Post.

Spending my day off listening to....

Trunks and Cases

Still dreaming of a holiday reminded me of some dressing I did at work a few months ago.....
The theme was a 'European Tour', I got some vintage trunks and cases and placed some old-style holiday stamps on them to age and give the feeling of fun travel memories. I also got some lovely real second hand postcards from a market (Spitafields market in Shoreditch sells lots of these).

Monday Morning Wish List.

I am wishing for this book from Mulberry celebrating their 40th anniversary. It's a behind-the-scenes peak into their world filled with some beautiful images from their past two years. At £55.00 it's a little pricey for me at the moment (damn those bills that need paying) so for now I will have to make do watching the flip-book version on their website (whilst clutching and polishing my beautiful Bayswater I got for my birthday....).
