Leather Jacket from Muubaa, Tee- Zara, Shorts- Topshop, Converse, Scrabble ring and rosebud ring- Rock 'n' Rose, Heart ring - Me and Zena, Earrings- Topshop

The first time I saw Ferris Bueller's day off
Not only did i fall a little in love with a young Matthew Broderick (Pre- SJP)
But i also became the biggest fan of his girlfriend Sloane's leather jacket,
It was was something about the boxy - loose fitting style and more than anything the fringing
It was the perfect cross between the 80's and a Dolly Parton stage costume
I have never seen anything close to it until i came across this one from Muubaa
Even though it's black not white it is just perfect
I got a size larger than my normal one so it was bigger and less fitted
I am so glad as it is just the way i wanted it to look
The fringing is my favourite bit, i think it's fab how it's on the back too
If you have never visited the Muubaa online store before then you should really head on over as they have the best leather goodies i have seen in a really long time.
They don't only sell jackets but also trousers, waistcoats and to be honest with you anything you can think of that can be made with leather they sell it!
You will have seen Cheryl Cole (Tweedy?) pictured in every magazine wearing her Muubaa jacket lately too.
I was really impressed with the quality of the leather too it's like so super soft
I can't wait till i get it worn in more as well, i love when leather jackets start to look older and the leather ages a bit!
Honestly I kinda think that i will have this jacket stuck on me from now until next year, It goes with everything and it's just so comfortable, I love it!
I got these new Topshop shorts too
I wanted the flag ones since the were released earlier this year
But i decided to get the darker flag pattern as i thought it looked more vintage-y
I really love them, although they are pretty short!

Always Wear Sunscreen....


It's funny sometimes how you just forget about songs
Until you randomly hear them again and then you wonder how you could have ever forgotten about a song that you loved so much?
Well that happened to me today
I was reminded of this song
It instantly transported me back to the summer it was released and how it became my 'Holiday Song'
I've put it up here today because it's nice sometimes to just take a minute and listen to some wise words
Which i think these are!
There is something about this speech in the song that i just think is so special.
I was reading about how it was originally printed in a newspaper by a journalist.
She was writing about how everyone has the ability when they are older and have left school to write the perfect graduation speech with all the advice your younger self would ever need to know and this was hers.
If you could write a speech to give to your graduation high school class now
What would it say and what advice would you give yourself?
I would love to know!
(if they are really great i will put them in a post!)

Y-A-L-E

Ivy League Tee from Inkwell and Ivy
I already have a Princeton and Harvard Tee
I want this one in my collection too
Also really want a Yale sweatshirt
I don't know why i love these so much
Maybe it's for the irony, being from the UK an all?
If any of you out there actually go to an Ivy League school you've got to let me know if it is as awesome as it seems on Gilmore Girls!

"To all the secret writers, late-night painters, would-be singers, lapsed and scared artists of every stripe, dig out your paintbrush, or your flute, or your dancing shoes. Pull out your camera or your computer or your pottery wheel. Today, tonight, after the kids are in bed or when your homework is done, or instead of one more video game or magazine, create something, anything. Pick up a needle and thread, and stitch together something particular and honest and beautiful, because we need it. I need it. Thank you, and keep going."

Supadupa Vintage...

So, some of you may remember that i wrote about Supadupa Vintage a little while ago on my blog.
Supadupa Vintage is an online store that sells beautiful shredded Tee's as well as a mix of other lovely goodies!
But the really exciting news is Supadupa vintage is about to launch their brand new website and in conjunction with that they are also launching their fab new sparkly collection too.
This is a higher end line which is all handmade and hand-dyed
and these two sweatshirts are from it
Both this sweatshirt and hoodie come in Black and Grey
Don't you love them?
I was genuinely really excited when i saw them
I always find it so difficult to find that perfect sweatshirt/hoodie that doesn't make you look like your about to hit the gym,you know?
But i think these one's are different because of the shredding
I think its really subtle but makes it that little but different
You should definitely go have a peek at Supadupa Vintage
They have some of the cutest Tee's and their new website promises to be immense!
Check out the store here
The black sweatshirt is £195
The Grey Hoodie is £180
Let me know what you think?

So I'm sure most of you all will have heard by now about Selfridges opening a new shoe department-
 The Shoe Galleries.
I think this sounds like The best idea ever, honestly i think it sound so fab!
Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know how much of a shoe lover i am and
These pictures of the new galleries looks like a dream


The Shoe Galleries is due to be the single biggest shoe destination in the world, showcasing 150 designers with 55,000 pairs of shoes in stock at any one time and 4,000 pairs on display.


Part of the inspiration for The Shoe Galleries was the idea that everyone has a shoe story, whether it stems from your favourite pair, a hidden gem or your first expensive pair that cost a month’s rent.
 Tell yours to Selfridges and not only will you get to shout about your favourite shoes to the whole world, but you could be in with a chance of winning a gorgeous new pair (one winner every week!).
Plus one lucky winner will scoop a year's supply of shoes from Selfridges!- Can you imagine how awesome that would be, ahhh!

Olivia Palermo, Anya Hindmarch and Daphne Guinness have already submitted theirs, and now it’s your turn to share yours!
All you have to do is go here and enter!
Good luck, I've got my fingers crossed for you!

I will leave you with a quote from Selfridges' Director of Accessories Sebastian Manes
describing what the galleries will look like when they are complete- i.e- Amazing!


"Imagine you are in a gallery", says Selfridges' Director of Accessories Sebastian Manes. "From the entrance you see a succession of doorways, and at the end a huge window flooding the space with daylight. Your journey begins at the front, with shoes from the best of the high street. Slowly you begin to travel through different galleries until you reach the end – the couture designer gallery, flanked by Chanel and Louboutin, and a vision of Eden – the new suspended garden at Selfridges. Shoe heaven!"

Dress- A/WEAR, Shoes- Giles Deacon for New Look, Red Cardigan- Hand Knitted by My Mama, Belt- ASOS, Cream Cardigan- Uniqlo, Rosebud ring- Rock 'n' Rose, Scrabble Ring- Rock 'n' Rose, Love Heart Ring- Me and Zena

Just a mixture of some outfit pictures!
I always feel like a little fairy princess in this dress.
It's from A/Wear which is an Irish store
I had heard so much about it and i was super excited when i found out they had an online store
So a few months ago i checked it out and ordered this dress from it
I instantly loved it
I thought it looked kinda vintage-y
I later found a concession of A/Wear in my local Debenhams store
So if you wanted to check out their stuff before ordering from there
You could see if they stock it in a Debenhams near you

My hair looks kinda crazy in these pictures
I looks a Little massive and un-straightened
I got a fringe cut a little while ago
But i mostly wear it to the side, so whenever i wear it full it takes me a while to get used to it
What is it with fringes that the minute you get them cut you so wish you hadn't!
But i actually really like my fringes when the grow out, as they are just that little bit longer that they look nice and blended into your hair.
So i'm sure it won't take long for it to grow!


Ok, so the close up picture of my face/eyes was a little closer than expected, i have to admit,hehe!
But i wanted to try and get a clear picture of my eyeliner
I normally always wear eyeliner
I just love it
I usually use MAC's liquid eyeliner in black
But my sister recently bought the Bobby Brown Gel eyeliner in Black
You know the one in the small pot
I borrowed it today to have a try
And i must admit I'm really really impressed by it
I thought nothing would be better than my MAC one
As other that I've used before pale in comparison
But the Bobby Brown one was really easy to apply
You don't get a brush with it but I used a smashbox eyeliner brush which was great
It looks like it will last for so long too
I think i will definitely be investing in some soon
I love it!

Hope you all had a fab weekend
