Thinking of Buying

Home sick, again. I got paid today, and I came to the realization last night how tight I've been with spending my money on clothes, but less tight with make-up? Well, nail/skin. I have terribly dry, weak nails. Yikes. However, they seem to slowly be repairing themselves. I've been using cuticle oil every night before I go to bed and not biting them! Hurrah!

I'm browsing Boohoo at this current moment, and my I've come across such a lovely jumper for such a lovely price!

There are shades black, white and brown. Only $8 dollars. I think it's a definite pick up for me! Thank lord for free shipping as well! I like the fact it's got a bit of a 70's, grungy, throw on vibe with a bit of girly detailing around the neckline.

Street Style

I personally find Street Style invigorating. One of my favourite things to do while in a city is look at the various outfits people are wearing. Fashion can say a lot about one's tastes, and personality. When people dress to show their personality it is like a subtle door is being opened into themselves and letting the world know who they are.

Browsing the Vogue Australia website earlier I found that they were showcasing some of Fashion Week's best street styles, and I must say these three are my favourites:

Sick Days + Animal Print

There are benefits to being sick. The most valuable one I can think of right now is not having to go to school. Although, I should be currently doing Chemistry homework, and my Earth and Environment Assignment. Ick.
I'm remaining comfortable today, wearing a black cotton? knitted? I don't know, but it's a long top with pearls sewn on it randomly, and some Beetlejuice leggings. I'm not a big leggings fan, but my - these ones are comfortable. They're really the only pair of leggings I own, so ohwell.

On the topic of clothes; I've noticed that Animal Print, particularly leopard print has been on the runways lately? Quite frankly I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm not a huge animal print fan. Leopard print and red lipstick is quite sexy though. I guess animal print is actually very timeless, literally timeless. I would say it's been around for millions of years, when they had to skin animals to make blankets and clothing items. Maybe someone should do a Flintstones inspired collection?
Actually, I do believe Jeremy Scott's Spring 2010 collection was somewhat Flinstones inspired. Lovely, lovely.

I think I may go and buy a cheeseburger and fries, the epitome of health I am.
Also, rewatching Gossip Girl sounds great right now.

She Inside

So I've recently stumbled across She Inside (a site similar to the likes of Romwe)

However, I've found this one much more up to my speed and also cheaper! The bonus point program makes  shopping at She Inside even more worthwhile and exciting.

I'm yet to buy something from the store, however, these are some of my many favourites I will be adding to my wish list! 

Black Scoop Neck Half Sleeve Embroidery Lace Dress

Black Long Sleeve Contrast PU Leather T-Shirt

and this one....

THese are my three favourites, they're amazing. Hopefully over Christmas I'll be able to make a purchase on at least one of these delightful items! x

Autumn/Winter Outfit 2013

Romwe Dark Green Cross Velvet Skirt

Vero Moda Laddered Top

Romwe Thick Heeled Leathery Black Shoes

Fashion

"It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."

— Alexander McQueen

I think this quote means a lot to the world of fashion. 

Fashion shouldn't be about wearing 'indie' brands or high street brands. It should be about YOU. Fashion is art, art is expressive and should express one's taste. 

As a young 16 female finding my personal style I find the best way to browse. Browse through sites, pick at the things you ADORE. Join lookbook.nu, or other fashion blogging platforms. Channel your fashion via your favourite genre of music or art. There are many ways on finding your own style. It doesn't have to be something like 'classic' or 'boho' as long as it's you, does there need to be a label?

Who cares what everyone is wearing, or the price-tag! No one needs to know where the item came from except for you.

Some of my favourite stores/online fashion sites to shop and browse at:

• Dotti (AUS)
• Sportsgirl (AUS)
• Thrift Stores
• Topshop (UK)
• Asos (UK)
• Choies 
• Sheinside 
• Romwe 
• The Iconic (AUS)
• Foxx Foe (AUS)
• Miss Selfridge (UK)
• Nasty Gal

Two of my favourites at the moment:

Kate Moss, Rimmel Matte Lipstick (purples and deep reds)

Chunky Mary Jane Platforms

                   

Day 1 - The Beatles, Keith Richards, Coca-Cola

My friend notified me recently that The Beatles official twitter page are following me on twitter.
My 2nd favourite band, ever. (The Rolling Stones are my favourite)
I have no idea what to do right now, honestly. I love them so, so much

Follow me on twitter:

Yesterday - December the 18th was the glorious Keith Richards' birthday. 

Happy Birthday my angel! Keith Richards is my favourite person, guitarist, musician and performer ever!

Oh, and fashion icon.

I really need to stop drinking coca-cola. I think it's because Summer is gracing my country and ungracefully burning my shoulders. I need to find a new alternative, something refreshing (not water).
