Believe it or not my outfit has nothing to do with you

-
With so many 'celebrities' acting as our style muses at the minute I think it's difficult for a girl to know how she should dress. But when you think about it more why are there actually any rules?

Don't get me wrong I understand that girls can be bitchy and can pick apart another girls outfit within 30 seconds of catching a glimpse. But when you think about it some of us (myself) have loved clothes since we were young enough to steal our mums heels and play dress up by making a dress out of our duvet covers and if you're like me your love for fashion hasn't faltered since.

I have spent 3 years studying Fashion and 9 years working various different retail jobs just as an excuse to be around clothes before I finally crack my dream job. 

The Fashion Industry is one of the hardest to crack. We all know it. 
It's long hours, hard work and we get told that we WILL NOT reach our dream job until we are well past 30.

We do however get told to embrace it. We get told to work hard and play hard. Network, talk to people, read and write blogs, wear what we love, help people wear what THEY love and most of all don't give a s**t about what other people say about our choices.

Now I am well aware that I have made some god awful, stomach churning fashion decisions in my life. I did go through my scene kid phase (all evidence is burnt) and I am 99% sure I still make some shocking choices now even though I'm nearly in my mid twenties.

But, you know what?

I just don't care.


I don't want people to like how I dress to the point that they want to copy me. Who wants hundreds of themselves running around? So if people feel the need to laugh or comment then simply refer to the about quote, and get your sassy ass on!
We don't work this hard to let people who don't care about Fashion to rain on our parade.

So here are some of my favourite words to live by AND looks that I love (that I'm sure a lot of others won't)

When I fell in love with The Whitepepper I also fell in love with Ellie Fox's hair.
"Why do you have short hair?"
Because I can.

On the topic of hair, I know this is a more popular trend but I am a huge fan of Bleach London rinses.
Why not make you're hair look like sweets....everyone loves sweets!

Pinafores. Guys may not find them attractive but they are SO cute.
And also Topshop says we can have them.

Uber girly outfits. We are girls. Why not?

In my recent job I have also had a lot of people feel the need to ask me what size I am. I didn't realise it was an ok question to ask a girl nowadays but I am a size 10 and I don't have a thigh gap. 

Just remember life is going to be pretty boring if you spent you're days worrying about what everybody else is going to say.


xoxo

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

Hey guys! So two days without blogging has been the longest I have been! I've been back down in Cardiff starting my new job in H&M. Which thankfully is really good! Lovely people and store!I really love the fact that we don't have to wear uniform either, everybody that works there is allowed to express their own individual style, which is VERY rare when you're working in retail.  So yeah, me and my best friend/flatmate/none related sister and I went down to check out our lovely little flat and chill out. As a bit of a round up I thought I would post about my beauty/interior/clothing purchases of the week. Interior wise I have gone mad this week! Living with an interior design student is perfect when it comes to me wanting to spruce up my room. Lately Next has had the most beautiful home ware. I decided to turn my room from pink and flowers ( which is the running theme through our flat) to red and cream, still fitting in with my vintage love. So here are some of
