New year.....New trend

The glitter, sequins and sparkle are gone for another year. That dreaded month of January has arrived but although as depressing as it first seems on a positive note we start to see snippits of what Spring/Summer2012 has to offer, and what AMAZING trends they are.....let me introduce to the first.......SURF LUXE




"The girl who knows how to navigate a surfboard is riding high on fashion’s radar. SS12 is the season to make waves in sporty separates that have sea-inspired details flowing right through them. Metallics, beading and patterns have us in their lure and are easier to throw on and mix-and-match than ever before. We’ve never seen sporty shine so bright!" (topshop.com)

ENJOY :)

"not for sale"

So out of all the items I could like and buy in the sale, I have to come across these AMAZING shorts at full price (£85), and what a great outfit build to go with my newly purchased black and white striped shirt.....probably a good job that Nottingham is unfortunate enough to be deprived of Urban outfitters!!! :(

Obviously wouldn't buy them as short!!!!!!

Cant wait for Mr.Postman to bring the first one :)

Over 'girly'

The last few weeks have seen spikes, wet look, rock tees, cuffs and dressed down glamour enter my wardrobe. I have moved away from what has been my signature 'girly' style for the past couple of seasons and entered the 'rocked up' trend (great for my good old leather jacket which is being worn to death) 
For me its now all about, statement jewellery and relaxed 'dressy' 

Replicated cross symbol on both the sweater and necklace stands out really well against the complete black, textured outfit

Statement tights = instant glamour

Acid wash jeans create an amazing 'rock kid' look

One customised collar

One denim shirt + black beads = a customised denim shirt :)

Jewel in the crown

After years of having black as my signature winter shade and two weeks of 'Heart of gold' (which I am already bored of) I have opted for a complete change as my 'Christmas colour' ....Jewel of the crown - whether it will go with anything I plan on wearing is another question???????
