apologies

Dear all,
i've let my blog grow wild and unloved for a while now and i apologise. i've been terribly busy with major studying and exam taking, but now that's all over i'm back! and will blog better than ever.

prepare for a huge catch up post!

my new celeb obsession:
Kristen Stewarti love her 'i-dont-give-a-fuck-that-im-famous' attitude. her clothes are a little more tomboy then i usually like but shes steering me onto a summer path of doc martens, ray bans and cigarettes. Cant wait for new movie 'The Runaways' to come out, a film from none other than my favourite era: the good old 70s.




my new beauty obsession:
a gorgeous minty greey turqouise that reminds me of Tiffany jewellery box.
after alexa first sported the exclusive chanel version of this nail colour on her new daily US show for mtv bloggers and fashionistas alike have been debating whether they love it or hate it.
personally i love it!what do you think?
if you love it too and cant wait for the chanel version to be released try the barry m version just £2.99 at boots!



my new favourite clothes store:
NASTY GALa perfect mix of new and vintage desgins, and although some of them are a little pricey its worth it as these clothes are divine! below are my pick of the best dresses from the site. check them out for yourself at
http://www.shopnastygal.com



hippys pick of new
the adptly named 'Alexa Dress'
yer i know i know, another typical 70s hippy smock number. i'm always lusting over them, i swear I have an unhealtly obessesion. i love them because they're versatile and feel free. i've take a hippy smock over body con any day.
buy your alexa dress now for a mere $58.00 @ Nastygal.com


hippys pick of vintage
the 'sweet sixteen bow dress'

i love the styling of this outfits its like prom-gone-wrong. i love the contrasting black and white and would definatley pair this with ripped fishnets and DMs for a bit of outfit juxtapostion! (get me and my literary terms!) a bit pricey at $138.00 @ nastygal.com but well worth it!


my new favourite etsy store:
Art photo girl
stocking everything from beautifully battered old poetry books to abstract french postcards this etsy store is well worth visiting. artphotogirl visits flea markets all over the world to find pretty pieces to add to her shop. my favourite items are these divine Victorian calling cards from france. in a dutsy rose pink they are the perfect touch to any boudoir and at $3.00 they are easily affordable!
check her out http://www.artphotogirl.etsy.com/

sunnies & more

afternoon all.
my visit to the v+a yesterday turned about to be quite stressful as the person i was ment to go with was ill and it was pretty busy when we got there, but i had fun and the hats were beautiful. i found out though to my dismay that boaters do not suit me and in fact make me look like a private school boy, in a bad way. *sigh*.

moving on, asos has some of the best sunnies around at the moment, and even though its not half as sunny enough as it needs to be to whip out your shades i picked the best of the asos bunch for you all to muse over.


from left to right:
Retro Super Future Exclusive Hippy Tie Dye £100, Christian Dior Large Retro 70's Rimmed-£120.00, Spitfire ASOS Exclusive Candy Bar Sunglasses-£17.75 , ASOS Catseye Sunglasses £7.75, Jeepers Peepers 'Zia' Exclusive Snake Flat Top £17.75 , ASOS Apple Sunglasses £8.00, Luella New Season Retro Glitter Wayfarer £150.00, Spitfire Rainbow Flat Top Infinity Sunglasses £17.75.


the apple ones are funny, would like to see what sort of outfit someone would team them with!
my favourites have to the last pair with the rainbow top. so summery and would go with every outfit!

this is the item on the top of my wishlist at the moment, need to go shopping on monday to pick up vogue paris and see if my local topshop has this in stock.
its very bohemian and so me, i need it!!!

also on my wishlist right now, this gorgeous vanity case from etsy.
its a little pricey but you cant put a price on beauty!
enjoy the weekend
(:
