Style Diary

Yesterday was Ladies Day at the races! Sadly didn’t turn out to be as fun as last time I went to the races in York. It was cold/windy/rainy and a lot of people were just miserable. And it was packed of various ‘wannabe posh people’ (i.e. scum of the north east) who clearly had no idea of the meaning of fashion!! Seriously though, I saw someone in a long gold sequin evening dress with a cutout back, a topknot, and it was just ridiculous to say the least. But as a group I think WE all looked rather delightful! I never thought a headband would actually suit my short hair but think I’ve managed to pull it off somewhat gracefully.

I swear my wishlist just gets bigger and bigger by the day. Again, you can see my wardrobe isn’t really straying from my current favourite trends (tribal/metallics/fluro) with this amazing neon messenger bag from Zara, which can also be used as a clutch, an aztec-style fringed kimono from the brand Reverse which is sold on ASOS etc and another aztec-inspired piece from Topshop, simple white vest. Need to get my hands on these ASAP! The kimono I actually saw on Charlotte from Geordie Shore of all people but I’m trying not to think about that fact too much!

Ok new obsession- Runwaydreamz is a US online shop specialising in frayed shorts in loads of different patterns and colours. The price tag on them is more than I’d pay for a pair of shorts at this moment in time but even just sitting gazing at them on my screen fills me with happiness! The aztec print ‘Willow’ shorts are definitely my favourites. I love the stud detailing on the pockets. Everyone knows I’m a shorts person rather than a skirts person in the summer so this is like my ultimate shorts heaven. PLEEEAAASE let me win the lottery this week?!

I have become addicted to Shenae Grimes’ fashion blog (Annie from 90210) which is where I found these gorgeous boots. A little (well a lot) out of my price range sadly, the Chloe Susanna ankle boots are simply A-MAZING. Love the androgynous look they have about them and could be worn with almost any outfit from a vintage summer dress to boyfriend jeans and a blazer. Always loved Shenae’s grunge-esque indie style, very happy she is yet another person making the transition from acting to fashion.

As always I decided to treat myself to a little eBay spend. I know I know, I NEED to save up for Australia but this was cheap. I promise. I discovered the ‘Love’ clearance store so I had to buy something seeing as it’s my favourite go-to website for dresses. This dress is simply beautiful! The picture here doesn’t do it justice, it’s a gorgeous ivory colour with a drop midi hem. It is still selling at £40 on inlovewithfashion.com but this was supposedly ‘faulty’ so was being sold brand new for £11.99 on the eBay clearance shop. I haven’t found any faults with it. The only annoying thing is it is totally see-through when on so I’m going to have to invest in some sort of slip to save my modesty! Considering rocking it up with my new spike boots and maybe a chunky belt for next week’s night out to Perdu. Love it!

No you haven’t died and gone to heaven you are merely in SHOE HEAVEN and currently looking at some of Jeffrey Campbell’s amazing collection at Office. I have just purchased the most gorgeous Lita spike ankle replicas off eBay for £35 which is all I can afford right now (will post a pic when they arrive) and when I have a proper grown up full time job I will treat myself to a genuine Jeffrey Campbell pair of boots. I cannot get enough of the studded/spike trend. Out of these the t-bar platforms have got to my favourites.

Never been excited about jewellery that much but all these gorgeous necklaces in the shops are making me wanna go and have a spending spree just on jewellery. Here are two favourites I found online- top one from ASOS, bottom one from Missguided.
