New Years Outfit

Here's my new years outfit including my new shoes, as promised

New College Shoes

The dress-code at my college is smart casual which is ridiculous really, its not hard for me because my signature look is essentially a shirt and block colour trouser but it is difficult when it gets to shoes, I bought some boat shoes a few months back when I started and they've become hideous already which is pretty bad considering they were £45, but then its became a bit of a joke within my family how quickly I go through shoes so that could just be me.

Anyway, I've just bought these and I think they're a steal for £30, I bought a size 8 even though I'm usually a size 9 because the nines just didn't look as nice as the eights, but I wore them shopping today and they were sooooo comfortable, which is more than I could say for the boat shoes so I'm happy so far. I think I might wear them outside of college too, they're really comfortable and sometimes I feel like my Vans really spoil my outfit.

So yeah I'll probably be putting an outfit together either today or tomorrow (realising it is 1:00am here) and posting it both on lookbook and on here.

My Supreme Cap came!!

My supreme cap was delivered today so i put this outfit together incorporating it, fairly happy considering I spent all of ten minutes putting it together. You can't really go wrong with all black though.

It's Christmas!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their day and got everything they wanted, I know I have! I've had a great christmas this year, despite the almost traditional argument with my brother. Anyway I've had loads of clothes so will finally be able to post some nice outfits on here and on lookbook, and here's my first one:

I always like to document my christmas outfit in some way I just put more effort in this year and I'm pretty happy with the results feel free to hype it on lookbook.

Versace Winter 2012 Fashion Show at Milan Fashion Week

Whilst many feel that Donatella has, as of late only delivered 90s throwbacks, which I can't fully disagree with whilst looking at arguably her most famous design since she took ownership of Versace; the 'Jungle Dress', worn by Jennifer Lopez to the year 2000 Grammys, in comparison to some of the pieces from her H&M collaboration:

But then who could blame her, it is fitting considering she started with that design for her career at Versace and used similar designs for her first collaboration with H&M. Anyway, I do feel that she does simple elegance very well when using black white and gold, which is showcased perfectly in the newest show:

I'm not the biggest fan of all the coloured designs in this show, but that said, I do love Donatella's work with leather and embellishment and the simple black and white gowns, very much stick to what I feel Donatella is good at. 

Reading Material

I managed to get this for £1 today, I might have had to wait over 6 months to save £4.70 but whatever, I'm still really happy to have it. I've decided that V and i-D are my favourite magazines, I find the really big ones scary, i.e. Vogue.

Style inspiration: Lookbook.nu

I found this on lookbook but I recognised it from the Zara website straight away, however it is the models personal lookbook. Anyway although I find tipped back fedoras to be possible the most cringe-worthy thing on the planet, theres something about a crisp white shirt that I really like, and I've always had thing for unhemmed raw materials and i think it works really well on this jumper, I think I'll be buying the jumper with my christmas money and maybe the white shirt, although i already have one I prefer the collar on this shirt.

I actually have all the items of clothing to put together a very similar outfit to this and I think I will be as I hardly ever wear my denim jacket, I'll probably post it on here, I plan to post more outfits on here after christmas actually, the hardest part though is to find somewhere to take the photos.

Again I have all the items to create this outfit and I most likely will be doing although minus the peace sign necklace, I'm not loving that.

I really like the colours in this outfit they're just the right amount of muted, I already have a mustard-y jumper and I plan on investing on some more shirts in the new year, a navy one is definitely on my list.

Daphne turns seventeen tomorrow (which must be painful to take in for all those girls still hoping to develop and grow into their features) and on paper she should be unattractive, her features are unbalanced with oversized lips, a tiny nose, eyes that are suspiciously far apart and half the time she has no visible eyebrows, but instead there's something strangely attractive about her....

H&M Men's Spring/Summer 2012 Lookbook Revealed!

Following the somewhat flamboyant Versace for H&M collection certainly isn't an easy task for the H&M team, however the Men's Spring/Summer Lookbook, whilst still going back to its H&M roots seems to have taken inspiration from the high fashion house that is Versace.

Calvin Klein Collection Pre-Fall 2012

Just came across this Calvin Klein Pre-Fall show by accident and since it was very recent I thought I'd write about it.
