Collection inspiration

Black and Gold

Went for a cheeky shop today and thought I'd do my first outfit post! Not sure if I like the photos but I thought it's a start I guess.. Picked up these amazing shoes at a shop called Shoeholics in Kingston - love them - I've been looking for the right pair of slipper shoes for a while now and haven't been able to get some that WOW'd me without breaking my purse, but when I saw these I was decided. The added faux fur makes them feel that bit more expensive to which is always a nice touch.
Also picked up this top from Primark but I'm not entirely convinced - you can't quite see on the picture but the front is a sort of leather look with small holes all over and the back is just plain in a t-shirt shape. I like it but I think I might swap it for a bigger size so it's baggier and more over sized rather than fitted. Other than that, I picked up a few other bits that I'll post on tomorrow :)
Happy Monday x

Colour fix no.2

Mint green. Such a summery colour don't you think? The weather has been amazing this weekend! I've decided I really want those sequin shorts, they are just gorgeous and can be worn both during the day and jazzed up for a night out too, which is always a bonus. I think this colour is perfect for the hot sun, yet can easily transition into Autumn with some added neutral browns and boots, or even just in the accessories.
I feel like I'm babbling, so I'm just going to keep this one short.
Happy weekend all :)

8. Camping - this was so much fun! But not without it's challenges. We went quite late so it was already dark by the time we found the spot, and we had to trek through a muddy woods to get there just using the light off our phones! It was so scary! Then Matthew put up the tent while I did the most important job of holding the light :) It was so lovely to have the sea just down the road so we could hear the waves - and the rain. Ah well.

How amazing was the closing ceremony of the Olympics?! I thought it was absolutely fantastic. I loved the celebration of fashion section, where we saw the like of Britain's top of the top models, strutting their stuff along the catwalk through the mammoth stadium. Vogue (of course) has done this fantastic shoot of all the models in their most amazing gowns, shot by Nick Knight, this shoot is nothing less than Vogue's outstanding standard.
I have to say, as lavish as they all are, my favourite has to be the Victoria Beckham worn by Georgia May Jagger. It is something I would 100% consider wearing out on the town or for my next birthday. The others are absolutely incredible though, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying this is one I would actually feel comfortable to wear out. Although saying that, I would love to slip into one of those gowns, even if only for an hour, just to feel like a princess!
Metallic is such a wonderful trend at the moment, and gold is one of those colours, where if worn right, can make you look and feel expensive and classic. Yet if done wrong you could resemble more of an MC Hammer than a goddess. And nobody wants that.

I'm in the process of moving house at the moment, so things are a little all over the place. I apologise in advance if my posting isn't quite as regular.

Other news... hmmm.. I've started on my 'homework' for uni which is pretty much a report on what I want to do for my final project - which is make a magazine - so I've been researching like a crazy woman trying to decide which angle I want to go down. I'm so excited to start actually making it as it's been a passion of mine for a few years now. The first two years have been more of 'a bit of everything', but now, in my third year, it's time to focus in on what it is I want to do. So fingers crossed it translates well out of my head and onto that gorgeous glossy book.

I hope you're having a lovely week. Happy Thursday!
