flaws?





I used to want freckles so bad when I was little. I've always thought they're incredibly beautiful.

Let Them Do The Talking

A little gander on Fashion Gone Rogue can do wonders for you when you're feeling a little blog-spiration (?) less.
I came across this stunning editorial by Catherine Servel, featuring Jacquelyn Jablonski. It's such a beautiful example of why everybody is embracing the lady-like glamour seen on catwalks like Prada, Louis Vuitton and Fendi. It's such a classic, elegant look that I can only wish I could achieve once in a while. One thing I was able to take away from the shots however, was the glove wearing. Seems not all that important, right? Wrong. I consider glove wearing to be a real statement making style technique. Now, we're not talking your average woolly black glove, whose only purpose is to stop your fingers turning blue in winter. No, we're talking elbow length leathers as seen at Lanvin or Karl Lagerfeld's trademark fingerless gloves. For me, gloves require the same kind of confidence to wear with an outfit as a hat, and I don't wear hats, but I am a great admirer of those who do and who do it well. Gloves, like hats, can complete an outfit. Hey, they can make an outfit and it's this potential that intimidates me.
I've been looking at a lot of outfits recently, which have just happened to be styled with gloves, and I love the look. The main thing that puts me off though, is that I feel if I pair some elbow-length lovelies with a dress on a night out, I'll look just a tad pretentious. I don't know. Maybe it's just my own irrational, over thinking about glove wearing. I don't know.







So I'll ask you guys: Do you wear gloves, or hats for that matter? And if not, why not?

Black and White


I love this photo and you need to check out the editorial because the clothes featured are just stunning. Have a look here.

Hope you're all having a lovely bank holiday. 
Today feels like any other Sunday for me. I'm at home, cleaning. I'm twenty years old and I'm currently living like a lonesome fifty something. Not for long though. I've got hair to dye, nails to paint in one of my new shades from the recent Models Own sale, and then go out for some drinks. The day can brighten up yet...

Models





I really didn't want to feature smoking on my blog, because remember kids, despite how ironically glamorous it looks, it is bad bad bad BAD news. Class dismissed.

Beach Bronze: Kate Moss




I didn't even realise this was Kate at first - never seen her so tanned!! 

This is the kind of look I like; bronzed skin, sea-salt hair, white sands and blue waters. Gorgeous.

Zooey Deschanel

I love these shots of Zooey Deschanel by Ellen Von Unwerth. I kinda wish I could make photos look like this again, just sometimes. It reminds me of looking at my Nan's old photos of her and my Mum - lovely.









I think vintage swimsuits and pin up styles are so much sexier than our modern day bikinis. They seem to look cute on everyone. I've seen a really pretty, lilac floral one in Topshop, but bikini shopping is the one form of shopping I hate. I'll try and brave it out!

Sunday Sunday

This is how I want to spend all  my Sundays in the summer.
But for now, I have to sit in my room at uni, trying to summon inspiration to write a short story that's due in on Wednesday...
