The Fab 4

AH ITS THE END OF THE WORLD.

2012 is upon us and the fear if we'll make it through the next 11 months is a daunting prospect.

Do we splurge all our hard earned student loans on looking fab over the next two seasons or do we invest in key Primarni pieces and ogle at the merchandising of Topshop, Kurt Geiger and Urban Outfitters?

Our current uni project is a class magazine focusing on the theme of 'diversity,' and to be ''published'' in 2013...if we make it.
One of the shoots i'm doing is an accessory shoot based on the 4 elements; air, water, fire and earth, a feature of our 'Rebirth' theme.

Here's a sneak preview of what is yet to come...

Today i am a sheep

Today i am wearing a bargain jumper - 40% wool don't you know.
I find myself turning my nose up at anything that looks warm and cosy but is actually 100% synthetic. Not in a pompous manor FYI.



Jumper £15 STING at Westfields shopping centre in Stratford, Laaaandan.
Trilby £12 Forever 21
Vintage Scarf - Christmas gift from the bestie ( blogspot; Footwears)



Popped to the big city to see my cousin for a hint of christmas shopping, window shopping, idea hunting.
We both had a pretty successful evening, rummaging for NYE sparkle and christmas glamour. I came back to the coast with this wooly jumper from STING, a plum trilby, gold sequin skirt, metallic top (as seen in Metallic Madness) a 'joke' LOVE LIFE tee all courtesy of Forever 21 accomanied by a belly full of fine wine and good food.

My wardrobe 1 - 0 Christmas Shopping

Post festive season, i am still snuggling down in this oatmeal delight however, the bobbling has got a bit extreme and it has sadly become a frequent hibernator in my art deco cocktail cabinet...student make shift wardrobe.

Playful Pastels

Pretty pastels and ladies in lace are rarely easy on the eye - in my opinion. However whilst dipping into the generic online high street stores, i discovered a new found love. a passion for pastels.
Topshop have a fabulous array of early SS12 pastels on show which can be easily adopted and introduced into even the most urban jungles of personal style.







This season, i'll be pinning my peepers open for hints of orange sorbet, meadow lilac and powder mint to accent vanilla pod creams and summer fate pinks...

Festive Dec's

Whilst the chilly wind whips round the exterior of the grade 2 listed cottage i like to call home, and the interior gets a hell of a make over, Sam and I get festive and make a gingerbread home of our own.
Proud to announce that, yes, the gingerbread is made from scratch...











Happy Holidays Y'all

Lonely Heart Club

"Doing the garden, digging the weeds/Who could ask for more?"



Going to have to trot on down to Penny Lane in these Sgt. Pepper Lonely Heart Club Desert Boots (Clarks Originals) when i get my mits on them.



Clarks Originals desert boots will be avaiable in January 2012. I can't wait that long.

Fatboy

Selling the Harley Davidson '91 black and chrome Fatboy had only one positive. Mums biker boots were now mine.

I've lived in these since i became a size 6 and have finally found true appreciation amongst my Brightonian Homemates [housemates suggest unhappiness and discontent]

No wheat loss here, grainy grainy,


Literally wear these to every event imaginable with the exception of maybe a wedding and to work...Although i did wear them in a wedding dress on Monday...

Metallic Madame

This time last year, words can not describe my thorough dislike for anything 'metallic' however less than 365 days later, i can't get enough of it...madness.

An afternoon leisurely strolling predominantly around John Lewis, Bluewater,i eventually found myself in one of my least favourite shops on the high street- River Island. However, between reluctantly shuffling around the rails and glancing adoringly and some Karen Millen 09-esque vibrant patterned heels, plastered with McQueen 10-esque spikes and studs, i found this little treasure...
A girls night out at Madame Geisha which had been sacked off until the last minute resulted in a rush to the wardrobe an inevitable fabulous night out




Harri; gold blazer- River Island, demin shorts - American Eagle, NYC,
Anna; plum shorts-Topshop and chiffon blouse.

Thinking about making a second appearance on Thursday whilst tantalising my taste buds in the capital, after a glam afternoon temporary tattoo-ing and glitter transferring the oxford st hooligans with Skin Art.
