    After a weekend of watching the goings on at San Diego Comic Con from my computer screen and getting pretty obsessed with the new The Amazing Spiderman film, the lure of the nerdy comic book world has definitely seeped onto my fashion blog. I completely fell for Karen Gillan’s 3.1 Philip Lim jumper that she wore for the Dr Who panel. I knew as soon as I saw it I had to go on the search for more. I love ‘The Break Up’ design too and have actually owned a similar t-shirt in the past. Both of these are wonderfully quirky and perfect for slouching around…reading comic books of course! 

    Keep on wishing…

    Despite the absolutely horrendous weather here in the UK, I’ve had a pretty good week. As I said in my last post I was at my town’s local Cultural Mela Festival, helping out with the traditional Filipino dance my mum organised. The whole day was great even if it did seem to downpour every other hour and I did manage to get a little sickly towards the end. 
    The rest of the week has been spent getting back to reading and planning my Camp Nano novel, as well as obsessively geeking out over The Amazing Spiderman, the Newsies soundtrack and Comic Con spoilers for Glee and Dr Who. I did have some friend’s over on Friday who I used to do musical theatre with, it was so nice just catching up with all the drama and generally pigging out over horror films and RENT. 
    I also tried out my Models Own Nail art pens, which I’m terrible at using at the moment. Definitely need to learn how to have steady hands.
    I’m also on my two week countdown till my placement starts. I’m generally really excited but nerves really hit me the other day and I really need to get organising travel, admin and a working wardrobe too. 
    Finally, I’ve also now have a page if you’re interested in PR/Ad spots on my blog. It’s the tab at the top of the page, just send me over an email if you’re interested. 

    Keep on wishing…

  • Lookbook spotlight: Free People July 2012 Catalogue

    I don’t know about you but I adore Free People‘s lookbooks. Always wonderfully whimsical and a true free spirit of a brand, I fell hard for their spread in their July catalogue. It also helped that they showcases one of my girl model crushes Karlie Kloss and the ethereal looking Aline Weber. 
    There’s almost an Alice in Wonderland quality to the photos [shot by Chadwick Tyler], while a clear contrast of light and dark between the models. 
    And in terms of actual looks I’m loving both the pretty pleated details on the dresses and skirts, as well as the harder edges of the tough looking denim pieces. 
    Check out the lookbook in detail at Fashion Gone Rogue.
