Sunnies

Whilst my birthday present (see my last post) was being wrapped, I was oggling up the accessories in the glass cabinets at the till.

Having a deceivingly small head means finding sunglasses that suit me is a rare occasion. As usual I fell in love with a pair whilst in Vivienne Westwood. Thinking that I would look like a fly, Mother ushered me to try them on anyway. And of course the designer sunglasses fit like a glove.

£140 - Vivienne Westwood

I always knew I was born to be rich and drink champagne, but sometimes life just doesn't go that way. So, the plan is to save up my birthday money to put towards a pair. I have been looking at them online and also came across this pair below which I really like too. So I need to make a decision - if I could I'd buy the pair.

£126 - Vivienne Westwood

Although a lot more expensive than my current £12 Topshop ones, I seem to have the designer bug. I feel that I have got to the age where I want to invest in some forever pieces that are more unique and ever lasting. Although I will never loose my love for the high street likes of H&M, I am currently in my first job since leaving Uni and well I think it's time to treat myself.

Vivienne

Yesterday I ticked something off my bucket list. My birthday is in two weeks and Mum came to London to take me somewhere for my birthday present. Having not a clue what was going on, I headed down a side road just off of Regents Street with my Mother. As we walked past the likes of Maison Martin Margiela, Mum stopped and announced "here we are!". I looked up to see Vivienne Westwood shining in neon pink lights.

Overwhelmed by what was going on, Mum dragged me into the shop and casually just said "so get looking then".

Sorry... what??? Is probably the best way to describe the look on my face. So unexpected I wanted to die. I was literally in heaven. The clothes, the fabrics, the shop, the pictures of Viv.... Ahhhhhhh. After trying on items of clothing I only dream of wearing, I made my choice. The piece is currently sitting in it's sealed pale pink bag staring at me. It's gonna be a long two weeks I tell ya.

I feel truly spoilt by my amazing crazy parents. First a Vivienne purse and now this! I finally have my first designer item of clothing which I will treasure for the rest of my life. I can not wait to blog my first wear of this piece.

My graduation present from the rents from earlier this year.

Okay, so everyone is probably going on about this collection, BUT I have fallen for all the mesh and fishnet! I was a bit blasé about the whole collaboration when I first heard, but with its Kardashian feel, it has formed hearts in my eyes. As well as being understated cool items to easily add in to any wardrobe, they are affordable too. We praise you Missguided!

Here are the four main pieces that are wanting to be in my wardrobe.

High Shine Heaven

Scrolling through my Instagram feed and now I am stuck in a shoe situation! A bit out of the norm for me in terms of choice, but how amaze are these metallic platforms from ASOS! The problem is I only just treated myself to a couple of sale items from Topshop and H&M. (I deserved a reward for my hard labour and stress due to my last uni project!)

However, my dissertation is due in next Friday?

ASOS Set Me Free Heels £45

Somewhere Nowhere

One of the things I love about following blogs (big up to Bloglovin) is finding out about new online shops. I started to compile a list of these for when I am procrastinating and have already scrolled through the whole contents of the likes of good old Topshop and Zara. One o the most recent I have added to the list I was introduced to via my fellow FMP studier Helly from Bells Fashion (deffo check out her blog).

Somewhere Nowhere offers handmade and custom designs by recent London College of Fashion Graduates Rex Lo and Elly Cheng. Their unique and outlandish clothing and accessories may not be my normal go to clothing choice, but there are a few pieces I am definitely wishing into my wardrobe. The fact that the clothing comes as unisex adds another distinctive element to their clothing. I just wish some of the pieces I wanted weren't sold out!

Purple Long Sleeve Mesh Gather Dress £26

Navy Faux Leather Croco Clutch £12 (sale)

Unisex Blue Sparkle Skirt £44

Being a student may have its slightest benefits, however pockets full of money isn't one of them. I feel deprived from my love of new clothes.

Tar Tan

Mooching through my Bloglovin feed and instantly fell in deep love with this The Ragged Priest tartan bomber jacket! Oh my, even with a £160 price tag I am more than tempted. Can I treat myself?

On the subject of tartan, this very 80s, 90s and all things scottish trend is back with a vengeance this season, influenced by the likes of Saint Laurent, Celine, Stella McCartney and Moschino. And I must say I'm a fan, but it is definitely a trend you have to get right. Here are some examples I've found where I think it works just right.

Next skirt worn by Ngoni Chicwenengere. See her blog here.

Dress, by Primark.

Coat, £129 by Zara.

Dress, £17.99 by Glamorous.

I am debating my purchases, but until then I brought this scarf today to keep in touch with AW13's scottish ways.

Scarf, £6.99 by H&M.

H&M: Paris Show Collection

So back in February time I fell in love with the H&M AW13 catwalk collection shown at Paris Fashion Week. And, today, finally it hit the stores and online. I have already made my two innocent purchases, however, if my bank held endless pots of money, I could have continued to fill my basket. The prices, even though from their Paris Fashion Week collection, are affordable.

Now I'm just awaiting the debut of the Isabel Marant for H&M.
