I'm still learning


Growing up in the UK in the 1990’s, I had my fair share of fashion faux pas, there were shell suits (neon green, pink and grey!), Reebok classics (urgh..) and Ellesse jumpers (let’s NOT go there). 

I admit, at 28, I still do make fashion mistakes whilst trying to be creative.

Take this dress:



Looks lovely on her doesn’t it? I thought, wow, this would be good with bare legs and sandals or shoe-boots, or with a denim/leather jacket.

So I went along and brought the sucker. 'I'll be adventurous!' I said...

Now, when I tried the dress on, I loved it, with heels it brought about a 1950’s-esque look....but when it translate onto photo..it didn't look....quite right...

Hmm.


Note: to self, the model is 5’10...I am 5’3.

Never. Again.


I guess I am still learning on what suits my body. 


Have you ever made a fashion faux pas in order to be creative? Do you know what suits you and what doesn't?

Let me know!

Starry eyed



Happy new year to you all! I hope you are all well and had joyful holidays. 

I have such high hopes for 2013, I have so many exciting projects both professionally and personally and I can't wait to share them with you!

So recently I have been noticing a certain trend that I am currently loving at the moment, star/galaxy print clothing.

I first noticed the print on the Domino Dollhouse Astralnauts Collection, where Tracy Broxterman had created some gorgeous pieces including their babydoll dress and pencil skirt (below). 



I then noticed two ASOS pieces that had followed the trend, a stunning pair of leggings

and also, a lovely wrap top from ASOS Curve which I recieved as a belated Christmas present from my husband (aww!).

I kept my outfit simple as I wanted the top to be the main focus.

So have you noticed any other pieces similar to this trend, if so, please let me know! 

Thanks for reading!
