1 Dress 2 Looks.

The first of many i hope!


I got this dress around new years in a charity shop in london and i didn't really like it at first because i wasnt too sure how versatile the print would be. I' a huge fan of loud garish prints but it's always too hard to find accessories that don't clash, so my idea was to keep it simple classic and fresh.


My trusty denim jacket my mum gave me from the 90's. That's real vintage for you! I'm thinking of acid washing it but i'm too much of a sentimental old fart to touch it. 


Those black leather calf  boots are probable the best thing i've ever brought from primark, They've lasted me longer than probably everything else i've brought there and longevity and quality materials are not something high up on my list of expectations for the place.


I thought i'd welcome my new cashmere coat into the family in style, i swear you could through this thing on over a potatoe sack and you'd look like Carine De Roitfeld. The tan leather clutch used to be some sort of laptop case but i felt it really deserve more of a life than that, i bought it at a car boot sale and haggled my little arse off and manged to take it home for pennies.

The "thigh high boots" trend


Thigh high boots are my new thing these days. They seem to be making a come back and with all this crappy weather i am honestly relieved! I found these boots as well as the little Topshop mini skirt in a charity shop in Kentish Town where i used to volunteer when i was in my teens. These boots combine two of my great loves - Tanned leather and keeping my feet dry and warm in the rain - and for £18.99 i really couldn't resist. They're real leather and all!


I guess leather t-shirts is another one of my obsessions this season, i seem to have started to grow a quite a collection. This one has lazer cut outs and mesh inserts and an exposed silver zip at he back. I bought it from a little indie store on Albert road in Pompey and i happened to wander in during their 25% off RRP sale! SCORE! So i bagged myself a steal for £9.
