Outfit Fashion - Street Style

Forgot to mention: when I was in London for the LCF offers day I got photographed just outside of Oxford Street Topshop for a fashion website linked to Topshop and the Arcadia group. The street style photographers were writing a piece on festival fashion and thought I looked the part. The piece has only recently been posted on the website (hence me only blogging about it now)...

Give me JELLY

This has probably got to be my favourite blog post subject everrr!

As you know, beloved tokens from our childhood have the habit of coming back in trend: First there were Dr Martens, then the Cambridge Satchel; and now we are presented with JELLY SHOES! My friends keep reminding me that I am waaay too excited about this, but I don't care, because Jelly shoes were one of the best parts of being a child and it is lovely to see them coming back in trend, in a more mature form of course :P

I ordered these bad boys from JUJU Jellies; on the Topshop website. Even the sweet, plastic smell of them was enough to take me back to the 90's...

At first I was a bit apprehensive that I may have ordered the less glittery version of these by accident, but upon opening the parcel I was reassured that I had bought the style of Jelly with the maximum amount of glitter possible. All was good in the world again!

I went for the heeled pair as they reminded me of a heeled, neon, glittery pair of Jelly shoes I had when I was about 6. In fact; when going through some old photographs I realised how much Jelly shoes played a part in my childhood. In about 90% of my old photos I was always styling a pair of Jellies, come rain or shine!...

There they are... The neon green, glittery, heeled ones!! Paired with frilly socks. So badass...

Adorbs!! Wish I was that age again!!

Just proof that Jellies are back for good... Featured in Elle magazine May 2013...

Futuristic Fable

I have become such a lazy hermit recently. I have really neglected this blog... but I guess at least I can say that I am fully up to date on all my favourite TV shows :/

Anyway over the Easter break I finished one of my Uni projects; Futuristic Fable. Yess slightly similar to my UFO college project, but sorry, not sorry, I just love me some aliens.
Here are some snaps of my final piece...

Took me about a week to hand embroider the dress, which I am most proud of :) Could quite get into this embroidery obsession, might go and join a sewing circle or something...

I want to be : Sky Ferreira

Model, DJ and singer... 

I really love her style!

Again from what I have interpreted from Twitter, she seems to be very rebellious and free spirited. This is portrayed in her style and music. Also the fact that she is a DJ makes her edgy-as-hell!

I have decided that to be happy in life I need to DJ, alongside designing of course! Just sayin'

Sky Ferreira's ad campaign for Forever 21, Summer 2013. 

This collection is actually so nice! Need those striped shorts at the top!

I want to be: Chloe Norgaard!

Model and hair extraordinaire Chloe Norgaard! 

She is so colourful, not just her hair, but what she wears too. Very 90's, sea punk! Probably the most rebellious model at the moment. Move over Cara! 

I still want to dye my hair... but I wear so much red, I just don't see colourful hair and red clothes working :/...

See her in the behind the scenes video for the Forever 21 ad campaign-

Cliché Paris Blog Post

This week I visited Paris for 3 days with Uni. It was a highly amusing and interesting trip, including a lot of walking and over-use of the fish eye camera app on my phone. As i'm sure many of you have been to Paris, i'm not going to bore your socks off with a lot of tedious information about the place, however I will let my photos tell the story.

Arrival day

Walking from Musée des Arts Décoratifs to the Eiffel Tower, via one of the lock bridges...

Day 2

Walking from the Notre Dame to the Arc de Triomphe, via lots of boutique/designer/vintage shops, the Palais Royale and the Champ-Élysées...

Our hotel was based in Pigalle, on a road full of ummm..."interesting" shops and cinemas. A bit of a questionable area, but we were only five minutes from the Moulin Rouge, which reassured us that the area was not as "back alley" as we originally thought.

Day 3

Not such a busy day, as we planned to go up the Eiffel Tower, but it was too foggy and rainy. We chose to mooch around the Louvre area and then walk to Gallerie Lafayette, which is a department store with an incredible glass ceiling...

In the evening we planned to go out clubbing as a large group, however a few malfunctions along the way and my friend Laura and I ended up in Paris Social Club alone. Nouveau Yorican were dj-ing there: a duo comprising of Gina Turner and Laidback Luke. The music was incredible and I even bagged myself a conversation with old Luke himself.

We were totally standing opposite them in this video!

Leaving Day

Before jumping on the EuroStar I had a wander around Pigalle and I came across this at the end of the road we were staying on.

I must say it was an awesome trip and despite the slightly dodgy areas and pick-pockets, I am slightly in love with Paris now. I even tried my dab-hand at speaking to some locals in French. I may have accidentally told a woman I loved her and that she was dead; all in the same sentence, but I am inspired to eventually be fluent in French someday.
