Boot camp...and glitz

Sequin top: Topshop   Treggings: Topshop   Boots: Manchester Market   Sunglasses: H&M   Necklace: H&M   Watch: Urban Outfitters   Vest (just seen): H&M   Bag: House of Holland for Debenhams

It has been a glorious day today, beautiful sunshine and lovely and warm. It didn't start like that though, it was grey but warm hence the t-shirt and big army boots! As said before I like sheer items and this one particularly with the double layer of sequins and fabric over the top.

We were out looking for boys suits for the wedding, which proved quite unsuccessful - boys are horrid to shop for. I did however find a gorgeous sequined french connection dress (sequins again, am like a magpie!) that was a bargin, very pleased with it I am. Not sure when I will wear it but I want to soon!

Homesick...bright on walls

Photos: All my own from Brighton town centre

Have been missing Brighton a bit recently, we get to go visit in a couple of weeks so will take some more pics when down there. Keep looking back to the photos have taken previously and one really bright day we were there taking lots of random pictures round the town centre, particularly of all the graffiti that's randomly on the side of a building or on telephone boxes etc. It probably all has meanings I don't understand but as far as images go I really like the bold colours and lines to them. 

I have a couple of graffiti print dresses, like this one here from Topshop Unique that Olivia Palermo wears and one from H&M that is similar style to the D&G Fall/Winter 2011-12 prints. Will be taking some more pictures soon, promise, maybe even of those dresses! Also other images I particularly like of Brighton come from a photography shop on Sydney Street, here, called Zoing Image. If I had enough I would have a wall just to all of their bright canvas, might just have to stick to collecting the fridge magnets at the moment!

Pretend aisle walking...and laughing

T-shirt: Topshop   Jeans: New Look   Trainers: Primark   Watch: New Look

Have just been having a nice afternoon trying out make-up for the forthcoming wedding and relaxing at home, which feels like a bit of a rarity at the moment. The sister has just been taking some pictures with her iPhone to play with the effects.

I don't really need another white top but just love the pattern on this t-shirt, I very much like simple black on white. In warmer weather would wear with some denim cut offs but am enjoying the comfy bootcuts today with Converse style trainers. The jeans are brand new but have crease detail under the pockets that make them look like they have been worn a lot already, silly to buy new ones really but I also liked the inscription on the inside right pocket - "great for: hot nights out, killer heels, sleepy on sunday, afternoon speed dating, shimmy baggy jumpers".

City of love...and lights

             

Way back in February, the boyfriend and I had a break to Paris to do the general sight seeing bits and for me to stalk out the fashion houses. Had the obligatory trip to Colette and tried to remember my way back to the Maison Martin Margiela store. 

Above are a few pics from the trip, the carousel was amazingly pretty with all its little flower pots and lights. I wish I had taken a few more street snaps as there were some great looks from some of the people out and about. The above pic was of a girl we were following down the rue Saint-honoré, who I assume worked at The Kooples boutique, or maybe had just had a big shopping trip! Apart from the bags that caught my eye, I loved her relaxed parka with fluffy hood (due to the cold I was quite jealous of it compared to my oversized cardigan) and the smarter cigarette trousers, with what looked like Louboutin heels. Although we didn't go in The Kooples boutique I do really like the simplicity of the brands style and the advertising images they use. Check out the website and  the couple David and Sophie, here, I wish I looked like her all the time!
