It's back!

-
So I've been pretty much M.I.A with the blog posts in the last few months. Partly because I've been really busy with uni and settling back in but also because what has actually been happening in the world of fashion?! I know there's always gossip and scandal but there has been nothing ( I believe) that has been particularly worthy of blogging!

However

Now Christmas has been and very quickly gone it's time to see everybody strutting their stuff in their new Christmas clothes. The festive season is a fashionistas dream! One of the two times of year (the other being birthdays) That you can get new clothes without having to pay for them! Personally this year I was pleased with how much I managed to buy! Thanks to the wonderful world of recession Warehouse launched their 40% sale two weeks before Christmas! Bad for them I know but brilliant for me seeing as i managed to bag myself a blanket coat for £40 instead of £140! Although this early sale could be a sign of bad things to come for Warehouse!

The major disappointment this year (as much as it pains me to say it) was Topshop! For such an on trend and popular store, they had NOTHING! I do understand that my wardrobe is like Topshop's stock room but for the first time I walked into Topshop and back out within 10 minutes empty handed!

It's funny how you're idea of what is nice in fashion changes based on where you are and who you spend you're time with! My mum described me yesterday as going from somebody who wore "pretty dresses" during the day to someone who looks "comfortable" because I have recently bought into the chunky knit jumper and skinny jeans trend. This was an extreme shocker as I am a strong believer that fashion is NOT made to be comfortable. The more uncomfortable you are the nicer you will look.

But yes now my festive rant is over afashionableaffair will officially come back to life!

Prepare yourselves for fashion rants in 2012!!

Merry Christmas!

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
