Just Because...

I really like this picture from the 'State of Grace' editorial by Mario Testino and Lucinda Chambers for British Vogue May 2009 so I thought I'd share it...

I Want This...

In my search for a perfect spring outfit, I have trawled through many a website, but I think that this little number is so cute... so yes, I want this outfit:








This Vivienne Westwood blazer is great as it is clearly on trend for this season, but unlike the millions of blazers around at the moment, it also gives a nod to the scalloped edge that has cropped up this Spring. Also, its just a bit different to the usual which is really why I like it more than any other ones I have seen.








You can never go wrong with a plain tank especially this KAIN one as its drapey look is perfect for the no- fuss look this Spring, yet its silk blend makes it a bit more special than plain cotton ones.










I love this skirt....the colour is amazing, the frills are flattering and feminine, which provide a contrast to the masculine feel of the blazer, and the length is not so short to look cheap, but not so long that it looks frumpy and over the top with the frills. I would wear this with the vest tucked in and bare legs.

P.S. I am feeling a new sense of loving for gladiator sandals, which is strange as I absolutely hated them the last time round...I'll have to get on the hunt for some nice ones on the high street...maybe I'll post the best ones on here:)

I've Got My Eye On You...

Ok so although I really cannot afford the Mulberry shoes I wrote about before, I really really can afford these awesome French Sole pumps:) My slightly misguided justification is that for all the cheap and nasty pumps that I buy every season (and there are many) which fall apart after a few weeks of constant wear, I could have bought at least two or three pairs of French Sole pumps that are so much more stylish and will last loads longer. So...as I have taken a vow of no more black clothes until Autumn I think I'm going to get these purpley ones because I love them:-D

My Efforts...

In a wave of creativity I decided to be inspired by the D&G Barqoue Jewel and Bow Belt and try and create something along the lines of it...Well it started out like the D&G belt but kind of ended up a bit off the mark. But I like it anyway. Also, I couldn't find any very expensive Swarovski crystals/ cheap antique brooches to sew on to it so buttons had to do:) But anyway, here is one version of the real thing and my not- so- amazing attempt underneath...

If Someone Could Buy Me These That Would Be Great...

OMG I want these shoes sooo much. If I could choose just one ultimate bag to use forever, it would be the Mulberry Bayswater in tan...I want it and when I'm not living off student loans, I will have it:) NO question.

So now the wonderful people at Mulberry have brought out these amazing shoes that are inspired by my ultimate bag and aptly named Bayswater pumps. They come in loads of colours but I've narrowed down my choice to thses two colours...purple becasue they really stand out and I love bright shoes and they are perfect for Spring, and nude becasue they'll make legs look longer and they would go with everything I own....if I could afford them that is....*sigh* just looking at them makes me sad I can't have them, they are so damn pretty, they've even got the fob that 'my' bag has on the inside.

Maybe I should save up...

....HAHA what am I talking about, of course I won't xx

Today's Attire...

Vest: H and M, Blouse: Topshop, Cardigan: Topshop, Skirt: Dotty P's, Necklace: Primarni, Belt: Topshop, Tights: H and M
I was feeling rather springy today so I diverted from my usual macarbe colours of grey and black...

P.S. I went to Bluewater today and I saw Jodie Albert and Kian form Westlife in the Apple store...I feel a tiny bit ashamed that I recognised either of them to be quite honest. Also, for the first time ever, I didn't buy anything...I might be sick.

Mon Expérience...

I saw this picture of Lady Gaga the other day...She really does seem to have an aversion to normality, not that thats a bad thing I guess, it just seems a bit gimmicky to me. One wonders how long it'll last...Anyway, always one for trying new things with my hair, I thought I would have a go at the weird bow-in-hair-thats-made-out-of-hair on her head. I thought it went ok (see below) but it took so much hairspray to keep my not long enough hair together it ended up a trifle crispy...
