2012 : The statements.

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I've had some personal defeats to work through and between that and trying to start a new life in a new city, its left little time to blog!
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and new year all the same!

I thought I'd put together three fashion ideas that made a huge impact in 2012

as far as my wardrobe goes! I'd love to hear three key items that made your year too. :)

3. Crosses

I can't atually believe that this is all the items I can cook up after a year full of crosses!
I'll admit, I could have drowned myself in cross necklaces at some point in 2012, but as always ( much like everyone) I lost nearly all of them.
Have you ever seen more of a hipster symbol? Naahhh....
2000 and 12 was definately the year of the Hipster. Ahem.

2. Studs

There was actually a point where I would stick studs on literaly everything.
I'm sure you will agree if you live in the UK. Even River Island provided us with easy stick on studs you could attach to anything! So yes, big studs, small studs, all kinds of studs everywhere please.
I'm actually surprised the trend has lasted so long.
I wonder when studs will become old news?

1. Sweaters

TA-DAH!
I'm sure you're hardly surprised. If you've followed me for enough time, you'll know how obsessed I can be with knitwear and sweaters. This picture isn't even a snippet of what my sweater collecetion is actually like! I LOOOOVE JUMPERS :_)
I could cry. I could actually cry.
It's the only reason why I want winter to stay!

This is one of my favourites. Not only because it's an obvious sweater, but because it's tie dye too - another trend that made a comeback in 2012! I did go a little silly with tie dye. I hope it is here to stay for 2013 :)

I would love to hear what your top three are for 2012!
I also have a give away coming up shortly so keep watching! :)
All follows will be followed back!
Have a nice day :)

Peppermint Sweater

Do you guys remember when Lana Del Ray helped us (H&M) with a campaign at the beginning of winter? It was a great campaign and lots of the garments she wore in the shoots sold out within days at our store. However, there are a few items left that have no been added into the sale!
And it's a huge sale too, so if you're out and about and happen to cross us, come inside!

Most items have been discounted and if you're a big fan of sweaters and trousers, you'll definately find something for you! We recently has a trouser campaign so we're not short of them if it's what you're looking for!

SWEATER H&M ~~£29.99~~ £15.
ACID WASH JEANS ~~£14.99~~ £7

The Outfit

Keeping to a pastel acid feel, I decided to team this sweater and jeans

with comfy Adidas trainers to tone down the look. What shoes would you team it with?

A shoot; pt Two

So here are a few more shots from the other day with Ed Firminger.
Seems like we were glamourising smoking but we were looking for the effect the smoke can make more than anything.

SWEATER H&M

Middle December

Hey guys :)
So its middle December, nearly Christmas time and for once I'm probably more excited about it than New Year.
I'll admit, I'm abit of a scrooge when it comes to the festive season! Probably because when you work in retail you have ghastly over played Christmas songs thrown at you from November onwards.

So tomorrow I have a shoot with Edwin Firminger. I'll share them with you tomorrow night!
Trying to blog on a phone is hellish. I'd like to link you to his site but it won't let me! But yeah, excuse the layout and I'll be back tomorrow! Btw, thanks for all the help and the follows! It's much appreciated!

Return of the Rucksack

So I was delighted to find that the rucksack has made a perfectly

brilliant return to fashion this season. I've always been a sucker for a good rucksack so I wasobviously thrilled at the news!

The rucksack has always been around for me.

Back in high school when Mum got me the biggest rucksack to carry, despite how small I was.

I always remember looking around the playground and seeing other children my age, just starting out, with the biggest ruck you'd ever seen, filled with stuff you'd never use. A small gesture from your mum,

who was proud of the little big person you've grown up to be.

And then there was college.

Back in the time of rebelious music and fashion statements that I look back at through my shameful hands. I'd cover it with whatever I could. Badges, favourite bands, grafetti and lyrics.
It was all about being a non conformist, when really looking back, we were all the same.

Which brings me to 2012.
I still love to wear things too big and I still love the odd scribble on a piece.
But this time it's a little maturer.
I too love dainty things. I'm not forcing myself into one style, like back in college.
I embrace all of it.

This is my first rucksack since then.
Primark - £12.
Small price, another era.

Just before Summer

Thought I'd share with you some shots that Edd Firminger did of me in the early summer.
We do a few every now and then together and it's always a great experience.

I'm no longer blonde. Tbh when I look back at this set, it kinda makes me miss it.
But alas, I am a brunette through and through.
I never felt quiet myself with blonde locks.
I suppose it's in every girls nature to experiment with hair and it was just clear I was a dark'n.
At least I got a nice set before I got rid!

I have more sets to upload and you can find more on Ed's site!
Enjoy!

Galaxy Sweater from She Inside

Love Love LOVE.

First purchase made from She Inside and it's quickly becoming my new obsession.
Regardless of the fact that they are based all the way over in America, everyone who is over the pond with me, you'll be glad to hear it's free postage! Which is truly a godsend when it comes to long distance delivery. It also tackles that annoying little issue with converting dollars into pounds so there is no confusing maths involved. Ahem.
Not a strong point.

But yes. I'm a short arse so ordering a size too big might have been a slight mistake as it's very easy to make me look podgy. I need to get out of that habbit and start ordering things to fit and not to be baggy.

Anyway, GET THIS SWEATER. Warm, awesome and erm, awesome!
