Yourself

I think the weirdest feeling in the world is when you look at your reflection in a mirror and you look for a long time and just think about yourself. You start to doubt that you're really yourself.

Saint-Like

 

It's not very often I get completely obsessed with a piece of clothing but I have to say this is definitely the case with this dress and skirt from All Saints. It may not be the most practical item of clothing as I honestly felt like I was weight lifting when I took it off the hanger, but who cares when it looks that amazing?!

Dress: £295

Skirt: £165

Icon. Mollie King

So for my second post of this sort I've decided to feature one of my style icons, Mollie King from girlband The Saturdays. I honestly don't think I've ever seen her wear something that I haven't liked and her type of style is exactly the type I immediately get drawn towards when I go shopping. As the pictures above show, she is influenced by 1960s fashion which is my favourite fashion decade. I'm also completely obsessed with her hair and often find myself trying to copy various hairstyles of hers but more often than not, failing miserably. To round it all off, she always comes across as a genuinely nice person as well which I think is quite refreshing compared to other celebrities.

Existing

'Because it is only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And it is only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith and belief and beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead.'

Red

I don't really know any other way to say this other than I love nothing more than red lipstick.

So I think I'll just leave it at that.

Vanity

Ok, so I know that this is just vanity to the next level but I thought I'd upload some photos that I've had taken over the past year by my best friend Cassidy Crawford. (If you haven't already, check out her blog http://www.capturecouture.blogspot.com/.) As this blog develops I hope to do some outfit posts every now and again as I love fashion and am pretty much a shopaholic. Most of the clothes in these pictures are from my favourite shops: Topshop, Urban Outfitters and H&M except for my panda hat which is from River Island. I would probably say my favourite piece of clothing from all of the pictures above are my high-waisted leather shorts in the last picture. I got them a couple of months ago from Topshop and they're perfect for nights out as they're dead comfy and also pretty durable when it comes to drink spillages!

So like I said, I'll try and do some outfit posts when I get the chance instead of just posting a bunch of random pictures like I have here haha.

Thanks for reading, much love xoxo
