  • A season of change | Autumnal Inspiration

    I can’t rave enough about Autumn. It’s seriously my favourite time of year. The start of a new season. A time to change. A time when the whole world just transforms before your very eyes. I get inspired by everything once this seasons starts. A lot of people consider Autumn to be a time when everything starts to get darker and fades away…
    But consider the bright oranges, reds and vivid landscapes of the leaves falling off the trees. The cosiness of a Fall evening in chunky knits that were stored away all Summer. Fresh starts and a new school/college/or even work year bundled up in duffel coats. Layers, layers and more layers. Crunchy piles of leaves. Halloween and pumpkins and rich harvest feasts. Boot weather, cable knit socks and tights. Wellies and umbrellas and the weather becoming the perfect excuse to cuddle in a blanket, a hot chocolate and a good book.

    Yep.
    Autumn is my kind of season!

    A little big busy and a little bit chill and a lot of awesome this week. 
    Kick-starting off with a brand new blog project in the form of an exciting collaborative book blog with the help of lovely Erin! I’m super excited to get this off the ground and we’ve already had a lot of interest from people who want to contribute. If you’re still interested check out my Tumblr post for a few more details or message/tweet me or Erin with an email. We’re hoping to get something out by this week (#tentative =S) in an email outlining our vision and master plan. In the meantime, inventive blog names for the book blog would be appreciated! – you will of course be credited!
    Awesome thing no 2. Autumn! I just really love it, that’s all ^_^ got out my lovely new Forever 21 coat today (despite it still actually being quite warm…Oops). But how is it October tomorrow already?! It means I’ve been at my placement for 2 months now. Madness!
    And exciting, exciting thing no 3….I’ve hit triple figures and now have over 100 followers! I’ve been so wrapped up in posts and writing and work that I didn’t notice until this weekend, but I’m just so unbelievably proud and humbled that you all choose to follow my ramblings :) A little celebration is in order, so I’m hopefully going to try and get on a 100 follower giveaway very, very soon! So look out lovelies :) and thank you again for following me!

  • Perks of being an amazing cast | Nylon Oct 2012

    My excitement for this movie knows no bounds, it’s even slipping onto my fashion blog – not that I’m complaining. In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, well I’m currently fawning over the newest edition of Nylon magazine (Oct 2012).
    Featured on the cover are three of my favourite actors/people in general in Young Hollywood. The amazingly cheek boned Ezra Miller, the adorably dashing Logan Lerman and Miss Stylish herself, Emma Watson. This new trio are out and about promoting their new film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, adapted from the book by Stephen Chbosky.
    The shoot itself is amazing, mixing grunge with a back to school twist (very appropriately parallelled with the time period of the movie. Love how well they all stand out individually through their own personal style. I definitely need to see this movie soon!
