OMG NYFW

So New York fashion week has finished and London is raring to go. Here are some of my favourites from New York.

3.1 Phillip Lim


Using beautiful silks and chiffon Phillip Lim has developed a collection of pastel colours contrasted with panels of black. It's minimal and soft and made using simple panels.


Band Of Outsiders



Band Of Outsiders have created a wide range of dress shapes in white, black, navy and pastel blue and pink. I love the school girl chic in the classic dress shapes that is then turned into long billowing feminine shapes.


Christian Siriano


Christian Siriano used a strong palette of reds and yellows and made a very cool and collected collection of simple shapes.

I carved your name across my eyelids

Thought I'd combine day 3 and 4 - First AF performance/concert you saw and post your favourite AF picture.

The first and only AF concert I've seen was this year at Hyde Park! They were one of the best bands I've ever seen and I wish I'd pushed my way further to the front so I had a better view but will defo go and see them again!

This is my favourite pic of the whole band...


Mum bought me some new boots because my beloved H&M ones have gaping holes in the back. (still gonna wear them though) These are from New Look.



There are soooo many things that I want atm, loan can not come any quicker! I want this jumper and trousers and a skirt and some trousers from New Look, sigh....

♥ This Jumper, River Island


Green Pleated Trousers, Zara

New York fashion week starts tomorrow! So this blog will actually revert back to a fashion blog haha. I'm excited to see Diane Von Furstenberg, Hervé Léger and Ralph Lauren. 

4 & 12 Days, yeahhhhh.

come on hide your lovers

Day 2 - First Arcade Fire song you heard

Rebellion (Lies)



Sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is. 
Sleeping is giving in, so lift those heavy eyelids.
People say that you'll die faster than without water. But we know it's
just a lie, scare your son and scare your daughter.
People say that your dreams are the only things that save ya.
Come on baby in our dreams, we can live our misbehaviour.
Everytime you close your eyes lies, lies!
People try and hide the night underneath the covers.
People try and hide the light underneath the covers.
Come on hide your lovers underneath the covers.
Come on hide your lovers underneath the covers.
Hidin' from your brothers underneath the covers, come on hide your
lovers underneath the covers.
People say that you'll die faster than without water, but we know it's
just a lie, scare your son, scare your daughter
Now here's the sun, it's alright! now here's the moon, it's alright!
Now here's the sun, it's alright! now here's the moon, it's alright!
But everytime you close your eyes, lies! 





6 & 14 Days

ready to start

Wow I've been lazy at updating lately, sorry! It's September! This time next week I'll be back in Epsom and reunited with my housemates and in 15 days I will actually have some glorious money to spend in the form of my loan :D Although the plus side of being poor is that my parents buy me things...

Like my new duffle coat from Topshop :) I can't wait for winter now so I can wear it everyday!

So since I last blogged I've been to Silverstone to watch the Renault World Series, seen my friends, been to Notting Hill Carnival, gotten drunk with my friends and taken spontaneous trips. 






Postsecret...














I'm going to do the Arcade Fire 8 Day Challenge -

Day 1 - How you found out about Arcade Fire

I knew of them for ages and knew people that liked them but for some reason had just never bothered to actually download any of their music. Then when Zane Lowe first played the tracks We Used to Wait and Ready to Start on Radio 1 I really loved them and so as soon as I could get my hands on 'The Suburbs' I listened to it the whole way through and loved it so much!

London Fashion week is next week wooooop!
