A cute dress...

I always enjoy blogs about fashion even if I don't take it that seriously. I've wanted to post about the Banana Republic dress I got in a charity shop for £3.99 last weekend for a while - Bargain!

The buttons go at the front but I reckon I could get away with wearing it the other way round as well. I love it. Just need to get a pretty little belt to pull it in a little and I'll be sorted!

Pantone Spring Fashion Colours 2009

Whilst stumbling around on my Pantone Home and Interiors search I stumbled upon this beauty. I never used to be that much into fashion - I always thought that fashion at university was elitist and manipulative - my housemate (a fashion student) tried harder to look cool rather than to have her own personal look. However after reading blogs such as Cupcakes and Cashmere my love for shoes, bags, ruffles, pretty colours and personal style has been reignited!
Out of the booklet this is my favourite outfit - I absolutely adore the skirt
and I love the contrast of the gray against the orange. Lovely.


I love the bright pink and blues (and the hair) in these two - wouldn't either of these be
perfect for a walk on the beach?

Matthew Williamson... Eep!

The Matthew Williamson collection at H&M went on sale yesterday in London and sold out in less than an hour! I want some! Of course loads of it is on Ebay already and I'm so tempted. It’s going for over 3 times the price it was in London though, boo.

The collection is available in all shops across the UK from the 14th of May - so maybe I will get lucky and manage to bag myself something. Hopefully this cardigan, or the yellow top underneath - eep!

If I had more money then I would probably get the maxi dress too! I tried one on which was similar but no way near as nice in TKMaxx and I was really surprised that they actually suit me quite well, despite the fact that I'm quite short.

The mini dress is gorgeous too and I'm surprisingly taken by the leather jacket - oh if only I had several hundred pounds spare...

I love Matthew Williamson.... sigh.

Hair Bows...

I love bows - I'm not hugely sure why - but they are cute and lovely!

I love this bow!! Adore it! I want to make one for my hair - but how?! Can you buy them ready made to clip in? I'm going to have to investigate...

Oh oh - in doing further research I found this picture of Kelly Osbourne - love it!!

Oscar Dresses!

I love the awards season- mainly just to look at the dresses. This is a fairly recent development encouraged by my housemate from uni (a fashion, media and promotion student combining her two interests: writing and fashion and sharing it with me it seeems) and it has truly blossomed this year.

Since Sunday I have been reading every article I can about the best and worst dresses and I thought I would share my fave with you!

My complete favourite is Evan Rachel Wood! I loved her dark emerald dress that she had for the SAG awards and this dress is equally as stunning. I also love how she celebrates her pale skin and rebels slightly with black nail varnish.

The biggest disappointment for me was Amy Adams - my favourite actress at the moment if I had to name one. I really liked her dress from the SAG awards and her dress last year was lovely, so I had high expectations...

Fortunately for her she was still amazing in Junebug and Enchanted, so I forgive her :)
