New purchase....


Ok, so i've just recieved some amazinggg platforms in the post that I ordered from Beau Butterfly, which is a group on Facebook, she sells amazing shoes, bags, clothes and accessories. She has a couple of sales albums at the moment and I got these shoes for £8 (including delivery) did someone say BARGAIN! But even the items that are not in the sale are a really reasonable price! Shes really efficient and helpful and all you girls should check it out! I got the black ones but how cute will the pink ones be for spring/summer nights!

One of my recent outfits.....


This is an outfit I wore for one of my best friends Birthdays recently! Just thought I would share with you! I loved it! I got the top from Urban Outfitters and I love it because I dressed it up with the skirt and heels but im also going to wear it layered over vest tops and with high waist shorts for a more casual look. The skirt was a bargain from Ebay, its really flattering material and i'll be able to mix and match it with lots of things which I love. I've had the belt for agesss and I just got it from ASOS, its supposed to be like the one Mary Kate Olsen has, I've worn it loads and it was only cheap :) I also wore my Carvela boots with my mums purple shimmery ankle socks underneath haha, I love over the knee socks and ankle socks with platforms! I had my 'Viva Las Vegas' necklace on which was only £4 of a random website I found, and I have my bling Toywatch on, all the rest of my jewellery is from Charity and vintage shops. Hope you like :)

Frankie Sandford, my new girl style crush......








Im really loving these looks! Shes gone glam rock chick and I think she rocks it reeeally well! Loving the casual looks aswell and the punky boots! I also love the tan fringe ones, I have some in black exactly like that! Thumbs up Frankie, keep it up! :)

Guest Blogger....Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream



Ok so I thought I would make a little 'guest appearance' on Rachel's Blog and review some beauty products for you guys! Tried and tested by myself.

First up is Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. This product has SO much hype around it I had to try it for myself. If your a fan of glossy womens' magazines you'll know this is an essential item in all the celebrities handbags!

The hype around it is definately deserved...I suffer from really dry, flakey skin on my face and this was like miracle cream. It's easy to be put off by the thick, greasy texture (it doesn't smell to great either) but it is 100% worth it! If you suffer from dry skin put this on your face before bed and your skin will look so much better by the morning. It's also great to use on chapped lips.

It's perfect for the winter months when your skin gets extra dry, but is also great to use in summer on sunburn and de-hydrated skin.

It's not the cheapest product... It retails at £22, but a little goes a long way so I would say it's definately worth the money! I got mine from a local Boots store but you can also find it on Amazon.co.uk for slightly cheaper.

Edie Sedgwick, my ultimate style icon....




















One of the most recognizable faces of the 60's, Edie Sedgwick is my all time fashion icon, actually she is just my ICON! So I thought since im blogging about fashion, I had to do a blog on her right? I started reading about her a couple of years ago and ever since ive read, and watched everything I could about her! Anyone that knows her background knows she lead a pretty exciting, wild and glamorous life, but she had a messed up life before she ended up in New York, and The Factory. She was abused by her father, two of her brothers commited suicide and she ended up living fuelled by speed, cocaine and heroin, coming to her untimley death aged only 28. She was famous for being Andy Warhols star and in 1964 after coming to New York she was named 'Girl of the Year' and appeared in Vogue and did other modelling jobs.

What I love most about Edie is, obviously, her style! As soon as someone mentions the name Edie Sedgwick I think most people automatically think of the HUGE earings, black tights and leotards! She was ahead of her game in the style stakes, even in the 60's! Which really is saying somthing. She was effortless and always made an impression, sometimes going out in fur coats and nothing else! She really inspires my style! So thats why shes my ultimate style icon :)
