I will tell you what to buy and explain why! By the end you will have so many reasons to convince yourself, you will be oblidged to buy it!!

P.S im not a magazine trying to get you into debt, so, these are things I would buy!!

1. The Forever Parka

I hear you say, parka? Yes, firstly you can wear your chunky knits under it without worrying your wearing winter coat and will roast to death. Two, it's khaki! It will never go out of fashion! Three, summer accepts khaki just think about festival style. Humid winter days, warm and wet summer days this parka will be your best friend :)

Next, Khaki Slouchy Parka, £45

2. The perfect print

 

 Leopard print can be so wrong sometimes too big, too small, too unrealistic. But, this mango top nails it and when does leopard print ever become a big NO-NO ? It is going to ride you, especially this year, from summer to winter. Because this A/W 2010 we all are getting our claws out , yes say hello to animal print it was all over the catwalks and is all over our high street!

You don't want to wear a seductive mesh panelled body con dress? Want to be sexy to only a few people? Don't want to try too hard? Welcome, the Miss Sixty Butterfly Tattoo Print Sheer Back Top. In winter wear a nice cardi over it to cover your back, but once your in starbucks you take off your cardi and BANG a super cute butterfly print on a sexy sheer material. All boxes ticked! 

Have lots of fun shopping! & comment if you like the pieces and if you would buy them!

 

Quirky Prints

How does Katy Perry never follow trends but is always on style?

It is offical quirky prints are the offical item to stock up on. Hearts to Strawberries but something with a print of something so common and cute that it just stands out! So, you don't have to buy tweeds and turn 80 years old, instead be YOUTHFUL celebrate your primes! 

It is such a simple fashion rule but it is always just ignored. Tips for the style? Have one statement piece in the outfit and keep everything else simple.

Does it work or do I look like a toddler? It does work because I have many pieces and my friends all say I love your cardigan because it stands out in a good way! & just trust Katy Perry!

Lust Have

Yes it is not out yet but I cannot wait much longer for it. It is the IT bag which is timeless. Mulberry are officially going to release an Alexa in leopard print !! Leopard print returns season after season including A/W 2010 ! YAY!

                               Mulberry Alexa Camel Mix Haircalf

But be warned, this bad boy is a whooping £1,650 so unfortuantley I will be venturing for a very similar buy as this is just out of my reach and if I find it I will tell you

& all of you lucky people who buy it please tell of your experience :)

 

Fashion Or Style

Fashion:

Something, such as a garment, that is in the current mode

Style:

A mode of fashion, as in dress, esp. good or approved fashion; elegance; smartness

Yes, it is the every pondering question of do I or should I have fashion or style?  Fashion is current, it is now but style is personal. So, should I wear those metallic leggings because it is the current fashion or should I avoid it because it simply does not suit me?

 Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six motnhs -  Oscar Wilde

Quite a controversial statement Mr Wilde,
But does it contain truth? Are we living in a world succumbed to buying a new wardrobe every six months?

My Opinion? The statement is rather outlandish to say fashion is "ugliness," as inspiration  for our style comes from fashion. So, yes you go and buy magazines and look at the goregous garments and lust, but try and make it yours and don't copy the outfit recommendation unless you are practically identical to the model and share the same personality.

Motivation: you don't want to be dressed identically to another commoner whilst wandering the streets of Brittania, do you?                   & choosing style will save you lots of dosh (:

Fashions fade, style is eternal.
