  • Wishlist Item…

    Printed silk-satin and silk-chiffon gown
    Roberto Cavalli 
    £7,175 from Net-A-Porter

    It was a combination of pouring over Florence’s mini interview in ‘Company’ magazine, a longing for some breezy Summer sunshine here in the UK and a little procrastination between doing Uni essays that lead me to this wishlist item. I also think this now takes the place as the most expensive Wishlist Item I’ve featured on my blog.
    A Cavalli piece is perhaps not the most obvious designer choice for Florence Welch. But with the floaty silk material and beautiful gold and lace detailing this gown looks like it could slip comfortably into her wardrobe. I know if I was as statuesque as her I’d snap it up immediately, if only I had the pay packet to match…
    A girl can always dream, can’t she ;)

    Keep on wishing…

  • Camden Calling

    What I wore: Military shirt & vest top [New Look], Leggings [Primark], Sneakers [Lonsdale], Rings [assorted from TopShop & H&M]
    Yesterday I headed to Camden with a friend of mine. I’d forgotten how long it had been since I last visited and it was really nice to spend a sunny afternoon trawling the market stalls, eating delicious Chinese food by the lock and fawning over pretty jewellery. 

    – Sunshine whilst eating lunch by Camden Lock – Some of the market stalls – Cool earrings, necklaces & rings made out of old computer chips – a kinda foreboding photo of the Horse Tunnel Market lol – Me & my friend Roushie, who I spent the day with – 

    I picked up some two rings by Dirty Dolly Jewellery for £6 and a vintage 80’s cardigan from the Horse Tunnel Market for £20. I very nearly got a pretty vintage dark green playsuit, which I was going to turn into a dress, but my haggling skills pretty much sucked and I didn’t have enough money for the price they were asking. Damn…lol

    All in all I had a pretty good day out, I definitely want to make a habit of heading down to Camden more often! Love it down there!

  • Wishlist Item(s)…Gaga-esque Summer sunglasses


    I thought I’d dedicate this Wishlist post to the ever kooky Ms Stefani Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga, on her birthday. I thought I’d honour the gorgeous Summer sunshine we’re getting here in the UK and pick some great shades that would make even Mama Monster herself drool. 
    First up are the Prada Butterfly frames sunglasses, they’ve already been seen on a number of celebs and I love the delicate sculptural detailing on the outer frames. The ‘Danni’ chunky sunglasses from Kurt Geiger are definitely more Miami cool for lounging around on rooftop pools. The gradient sunglasses by The Row are my favourites, a lot more subtle for a more bohiemien look. Then finally some very Gaga-circa ‘The Fame’ sunglasses from TopShop would certainly turn some heads on the beach. 
    Which one is your favourite?
