Checkered...

Here's my outfit today... I don't tend to wear trousers much (I haven't owned a proper pair of jeans in years) but about a month ago or so I bought these brilliant black skinny trousers from River Island (£35). They go with a lot of things so that's definitely an advantage and I really like the leather strips down the side (the photos don't do them justice). I'm also wearing my shirt I got as a Christmas present (from Topshop). I love the gold tips on the collar and the print is really lovely. I'm also wearing a necklace (another christmas present), my ring from New Look (on sale), my Topshop socks (3 for £7) and some snakeskin brogues I got in the sale (Office - £25). These are now my new favourite shoes. I justified the purchase since I had been spending the whole of the winter wearing a pair of shoes (also snakeskin - I know, there's just something about it!) that I bought for £5 from ebay (they were also falling apart). 
Sorry about the photo quality by the way, I seem to have got into the habit of taking these photos in the evening when it's dark and the lighting is rubbish, but next time I promise to take them during the day!














What do you think? What's your favourite piece?

Rings and things

I found these two images recently that inspired me to write this post. I love the photography in both of them and the way that each highlights the jewellery as the main feature. Often in fashion photos you look at the clothes or the model so it's unusual to find photos like these. The rings below are really cool and it reminds me that I need more for myself! 


I really love this look (above). I think what's great about it is that the shirt is very masculine but the outfit is made more feminine by the necklaces and the pearls. It also has a very antique feel.


 I currently only have 2 rings (one from New Look and one from Topshop), though I love them both! My favourite kind of jewellery at the moment is gold - anything that's gold and has a edgy kind of feel is great. The great thing is that it can go with anything - literally anything!




My new necklace (River Island). I bought it just the other day but haven't actually worn it yet. It's such a statement necklace I wanted the first time I wore it to be a special occasion where I dress up so I'm planning to wear it to the school's christmas party. I really love how this looks with the shirt and collar in these photos .


 I bought this necklace while on holiday in Egypt. It's more of a summer necklace so I haven't worn it much recently but it's definitely coming out when it get's to spring (at least).



 My big collection of beaded/pearl necklaces. Most of these I've acquired from my mum, grandma etc. Although I did make the blue one. I always seem to have at least one of these on every day.



This one I also bought on holiday. I used to wear it all the time but don't wear it as much now. I really love the colour though since it stands out so much.




The gold necklace here I literally wear all of the time. It's so useful to just throw on and can instantly make an outfit look better. I got it ages ago (I can't even remember where from - that's an unusual occurence!) and it is actually falling apart slightly but I'm not going to throw it away!
The second one was a present from a friend.  


Two of my favourite bracelets here. The white one was bought on holiday and the silver is actually one of those clever bracelet things. You can change it's shape and it can be a necklace or a bracelet or whatever you want. It used to be my mum's but she didn't want it anymore.

 I've collected this assortment of bangles throughout my whole life and they're from various differnet places. I don't tend to wear bangles too much because they make a lot of noise (and it can be quite annoying walking around and everytime you lift your arm it makes a noise) but I really should wear them more.


Although it sound crazy this is actually a candle holder (or some kind of thing that goes around the candle?). It actually looks like a proper bracelet and it's carrying on my theme of gold so that's always good!

Lady-like


I’ve liked the lady-like look for a while, ever since I saw the pictures from the Chanel and Louis Vuitton collections. I love the elegance that the style gives and the way you can team a vintage lady dress with something else more modern to make it more edgy. Here I took some photos of one of my own outfits.

I bought this skirt on ebay (I had to adjust it since there it is hard to buy something on eBay without having to make it the right size, especially if you’re buying it cheap). This is definitely one of my favourite skirts since I love the pattern and the style. The shirt was one of my Dad’s (again... I know!). I also created a sort of collar necklace using a chain and some gold earrings. I am obsessed with the collar trend. I don’t know why but I really love it! The cardigan is from my grandma. She has a load of clothes she doesn’t wear in her many wardrobes so she let me go through it and take what I want (It was one of the best moments of my life! It was like going to a vintage fair but everything was free!). I also got the belt from her. The shoes were from New Look. I am thinking of studding them so watch this space!



I wanted to include the photos below in the post because I absolutely love them.

I love these gloves and want some just like them. I really don’t care if they don’t keep me warm!
