listen honey here comes my man

Above, illustrations of some style inspiration from the girls at work. There seems to be much love for black ankle boots, studs, black leather jackets, converse, neutral knits, floaty and loose shapes (dresses, midi/maxi skirts) and classy feminine and simple pieces.

Sample Sale

Above, some bits and bobs I picked up at the Warehouse sample sale which was brilliant!! A Brat & Suzie illustrated crop vest (I adore these kind of designs), a holey loose fitted knit jumper, printed silky top, floral high waist jeans which I may cut into shorts, sequin cream/bronzy skirt and lace dress at a total of £16!

The last photo is some black ankle boots I've been wanting for awhail now. I love the shape they give with skinny jeans and a loose top. Hopefully I'll be able to walk comfortably in them! They were from Bershka and £29.99.

Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks, or knackered Converse, or tracky bottoms stucked in socks

It's my third week in London and it's been pretty overwhelming! Last weekend I went to two house parties, we've had load of BBQ's, I went to a quirky bar in Shoreditch called Electricity Showrooms for a work do (which was awesome as we were given endless bottles of free wine & food!). Work's got off to a good start, I love working in Old Street and the Warehouse team are all really lovely. Above just a bit of my room, and this antique/thrift store up the road.

PS. One of the first things I noticed about London is how different and interestingly everyone dresses and goes about (cycling, roller blading, roller skating!) expect a street style post soon....

Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth

Above: snaps from Leeds Festival & a few in London. 

Leeds was amazing, favourites were The Black Keys, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Crystal Castles, Foster The People & Jake Bugg. The weather was also suprisingly good for Yorkshire, I actually got a tan haha. 

Most of the London photos were taken in Nottinghill, such a beautiful area of the city. I've finally got my house sorted and will be moving the the big city this Saturday!

You got to put your shoulder, shoulder to the wheel

Above: dress £7 in H&M sale. I love the elegantly fitting shape and the lace, and the fact its so versatile. I think I'd wear it with wedges on a night out or military boots, a barbour-esq coat and light cotton scarf during the day.

My Leeds fest weekend ticket arrive yesturday! I'm already planning outfits inspired by above collage. My favourite icons are Chloe Sevigny & Agyness Deyn. 
I'm so excited for Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, The Vaccines, Florence, Crystal Castles & Jake Bugg

street style

Above: illustrations of street style inspiration. what i love most about working in fashion retail is people watching, noticing which trends and key pieces seem to be the most popular. The other day I noticed so many young women wearing mid length skirts, particularly jersey, slightly more fitted ones. I love the combination of clumpy shoes+ awkward 'dorky' length.

Below: inspiration+ideas- Suzie from Style Bubble, Chloe Fall 2012, Elizabeth from Donnie Darko and Andie from Pretty In Pink.
