the wonderful british weather...

Getting ready for Saturday night out with the girls has to be one of the most stressful times a girl endures! What to wear, how to have your hair, eyelashes or no eyelashes, fake bake or natural whiteness! So this time I decided to sort my outfit out a week before! Call me strange but that's what you call a planned getting ready situation! I had everything worked out, I did a little fake tanning two days before, washed my hair in the morning! Oh yes, I was prepared!

Until the weather that us brits have to deal with every day hit! Rain... Snow... Wind! After a full days work and stepping out of the staff doors i soon begin to realise that even though I was so prepared nothing was going to make me go out in this ridiculous weather. And when you look at my outfit below, off the shoulder crop top teamed with pink skater skirt and bare legs, it's fair to say I hadn't prepared for a night out in the blizzard...

So the moral to my little escapade is, check the bloody weather before you start the endless preparations for a nigh out!

Drab Denim.. Think Again!

I for one love denim. Its the comfiest piece of clothing that I own, especially jeans! I own so many denim shirts, denim dresses, denim skirts, denim jeans! The list is endless. I also am a true supporter of the double denim trend, so long as people think about what they are doing! Please don't go around matching the same coloured denim head to toe.. mix it up! That's all I ask. Every single person on this earth will own a pair of jeans, whether they style them up for fashion or wear them for comfort they are the most important piece of clothing a person could have in their wardrobe! One of this summers key trends is denim not just jeans but shirts, skirts, dungarees, dresses, coats and jackets! So look out for the new denim trends hitting the high street, and (to save those pennies) get out your old jeans and cut them up or decorate them! You really can't go wrong!

Living the austrialia dream..

A few week ago my best friend moved to Australia, only for six months lets not forget (because she will be coming back, a girls holiday is definitely on the cards for her arrival home!). She's the sort of girl that lives her dreams and follows her spontaneous heart all the way to the other side of the world! I mean she's living it up over there, sunning herself in the aussie heat, going for romantic dates to watch the sunset and genuinely loving life. Well me and her other friends gave her the best send off when she left. Cocktails in our favourite bars and busting shapes in our favourite club. I know she will enjoy it and I know she will be missing us and we are missing her too. But I wish her luck and encourage her to follow her dreams and get that gorgeous tan and lightened hair she's always dreamed off! Better get on the sunbeds before she comes back!

Much love for my best friend, miss emily audsley x

Fashion that lasts three lifetimes..

My family means the world to me. The relationship I have with my mum and my grandma is extra special, we all have so much in common and the days me and my mum visit my grandmas and chat over a ham salad sandwich and vanilla slice are the best. Fashion is always something we have to discuss, the amount of times I've gone 'Skinny jeans are the only ones people wear now, people don't even think about boot cut any more '. And my mum or my grandma will go, 'Oh you mean drainpipe jeans?'! I mean as if? Drainpipe jeans don't sound too appealing to me! So funnily enough only a few decades ago those skinny jeans that we all own a pair of used to be in fashion back in the 70's, the name may have changed but its the same pair of jeans designed to make your legs look like they go on forever! This is always happening, a new trend out in high street stores and designer catwalks has been re-invented from back in my grandmas days! I love how fashion is recycled, and how some trends seem to come out of thin air but in actual fact they were worn before. The ever famous midi skirt that is at large among the high street this trend has been recycled from the 50's and a few year ago I bet most people would of gone, 'Oh that's so old fashioned' 'Too long, we need short skirts!' and now we see fashion fanatics all over the country supporting the midi length! Another advantage of having fashion forward family members is that borrowing clothes from them is simple! My grandmas love for fur and skater skirts is always handy if I ever need a one off piece! And my mums wardrobe (oh so similar to my own!) is at the touch of a wardrobe door, however the downside is she's a size 5 foot so borrowing her shoes is not on the cards. So to wrap up my little blogpost today, I love my family and there knowledge of fashion trends from the 1940's is also useful too :)

Mr Vuitton

My fashion crush is Louis Vuitton, it always has been since I was little! The signature print branded onto scarfs, hats, gloves and most importantly handbags! Seeing it on celebrities all over the world and knowing exactly which designer made it! Now, I'm not made of money so a few years I bought a knock off Louis from a Tenerife market, for hmm €40! I must say I bargained him down to this price as well after he claimed it was real? This bag was my all time favourite bag I took it everywhere and anywhere I could, until a year later the handles where hanging on by a single thread. It was a sad day when it finally snapped!

Anyways, my auntie bought me a belated christmas present! And I must say I was like a little girl again when she gave me the beauty of the Louis Vuitton Palermo with matching purse. It's beautiful and absolutely ideal for me for uni! Thank you so much auntie! I will treasure them forever!

Love For Louis x
