Inspiration

Saturday 28 May 2011


I'm at that 'not sure what to do with my hair' stage I find myself in every couple of years. Usually I would have folded by now and had a fringe and/or a bob cut in, but I'm fighting the urge and trying to enjoy the versatility that having longer hair brings. This 'do' has made me feel even more committed to leaving it alone. I especially love the added accessory by Eddie Borgo.

Space to breathe

Saturday 21 May 2011


Really like this top from H&M- especially the way it scoops up at the back, and the covered button detail. Not sure why, but I had my sights set on getting a pair of really high waisted, wide leg trousers. Found some! Sadly a size too small but I was willing to suffer hindered breathing for them. Although, not being able to sit down or eat was too much to bear. So reluctantly I considered taking them back, until I realised they could be easily adjusted as the style has a fold over on the waistband. So I unpicked the stitching and gave myself a bit of breathing space...

On their way...

Love both these- Chloe metal and leather sandals, and Topshop Parasol sandals. I've ordered a pair... I leave you in suspense as to which ones!







Red Square

Sunday 15 May 2011


Just got myself a new lipstick. This time in pencil form! Pretty much the same colour as 'So Chaud' by Mac, but this NARS 'Red Square' is a bit more matt which I really like. Got the sharpener too. Didn't need another one - just love the packaging!

A happy ending

Tuesday 10 May 2011

After first seeing this Carven collar a while ago, I thought I'd buy a cheap white shirt that I could cut the collar off. I found one in the Gap sale for £4.99, but then really liked the shirt so decided against hacking it up. Some time later I managed to burn a great big hole it whilst ironing! I blame the iron. Anyway, all was not lost... Et voila! My 'Carven' collar was born. Please ignore my shoddy workmanship. You can't see the frayed edges once it's tucked in!







Become someone else...
