7.5.11

High Street vs High End.

Obviously they're a little different, and as the owner of the Topshop pair I'm a little biased, but the similarities are there.
Leaf Hoops, £5, Topshop. 22-Karat Gold-Plated Feather Earrings, £225, Alex Monroe.

Triumphantly Topshop.

A fiery little ensemble whereby mixed metals, blacks and reddy oranges are combined with snakes, skulls and pony skin leather. If ever in doubt of how to grunge an outfit up a trusty skull or two and an array of rings never fail.
Red Midi Cute Skirted, £46, Decayed Skull Studs, £5, Black Faux Pony Skin Purse, £12, Decayed Skull Ring, £7.50, Tan Cord Leather Skinny Belt, £26, Gazelle Black Nubuck Cut Out Shoe Boots, £68, all Topshop. Cobra 18-Karat Rose Gold Diamond Ring, £2,010, Ileana Makri. Naga Silver & Gold Black Sapphire Ring, £725, John Hardy.

High Street vs High End.

A bit cheeky Topshop.

Always Got Love For Love.

I genuinely have little palpitations at the thought of Pamela Love. This month is just getting too exciting. First she goes and releases more ab fab fantasy collectables, then I realise the release of her Topshop collaboration is in seventeen sleeps.

Love's collection, from £90-£1,035.

Her Topshop range below is not quite as gothic as her own line, she takes this one back to her Native American roots. I do love it but hearts and feathers are pushing it.

 Love's Topshop collaboration, from £50.

Safety In Numbers.

A brief high street versus high end post.

Large Safety Pin Studs, £14, Topshop. Sterling Silver-Plated Swarovski Crystal Safety Pin Earrings, £245, Tom Binns.

Overt And Orange.

Nothing like a few neutral and tangerine notes to kick start the Summer wardrobe.
Barricade Babe Sterling Silver-Plated Earrings, £100, Tom Binns. Mushroom Pocket Vest By Boutique, £25, Script Natural Linen High Vamp Peep Toe Platform Wedges, £70, Macrame Fringe Crossbody, £25, all Topshop. Nails in Atomic Orange, £10, OPI.

Silk, Straps And Spots.

If I was £1,704 better off and didn't have to work this evening, I would revel in gathering this outfit for a far more titillating occasion.

Arrowhead Sterling Silver & Obsidian Necklace, £1,085, Pamela Love. Y Satin Envelope Clutch, £505, Yves Saint Laurent. Pink Silk Racer Back Strappy Cami By Boutique, £38, Taupe Leopard Print Silk Cropped Trousers By Boutique, Java Black Suede Wedges, £65, all Topshop. Nails in Cadogan Square, £11, Nails Inc.

Swanky Safari.

'Practical' sandals, baggy vest, stone chinos and tribal decor can only mean one thing; a bloody fabulous safari ensemble. Not that you have to be on safari to wear it, the Savannah and wildlife would merely be the ideal accessory. I have tried these sandals on a grand total of three times, but they look like a shoe and not a sandal once on - an arguably overcritical detail I have tried to see past but simply can't. A victim of my own fastidious fashion if you like. Nevertheless wear the following this Summer if effortless style is you forte.


Cotton-Voile Tank, £60, Chinti and Parker. Tribal Spike Three-Finger Sterling Silver Ring, £535, Pamela Love. Repeat That Tan Sandals, £55, Office. Stone Chino Shorts, £30, Multi Woven Leather Plaited Belt, £26, both Topshop.

Heart Hobo.

A tad hobo but it's all relevant. Throw in some dirty hair and a fox tail and jobs a gudden.
Gold-Plated Onyx Claw Ring, £260, Roberto Cavalli. Black Washed Midi Dress By Boutique, £50, Topshop. H By Hudson Black Multi-Buckle Boot, £140, Urban Outfitters. Large Guia Suede Bag, £405, Meli Melo.

26.4.11

I need to stop spending now.

Some lustworthy new bags on the scene...

Leather Portfolio Clutch, £55, ASOS.

16.4.11

Colourful Carrousel.

Unsure where this post came from really. I definitely don't have the most colourful wardrobe, not by a long shot. But recently I've seen a few colourful things I like, and in all honesty am a little taken aback. One step at a time, blog before I buy.

Safari Print Shirt, £22, Topshop.


Opal-Embellished Climbing Rope Necklace, £450, Proenza Schouler.

African Print Dipped Hem T-Shirt, £55, Horace.


Marimekko Printed Canvas Sneakers, £50, Converse.



Embroidered Balconette Bikini, £220, Mara Hoffman.

Blazers, Bandeaus And Bittersweet Good Buys.

As student loan day fast approaches, my usually overzealous idealistic finds become all too possible. Someone take my card before it's too late.
Peace 18-Karat Rose Gold Diamond Ring, £570, Ileana Makri. Mid-rise raw-edged rigid-denim shorts, £145, Ksubi. Black Ruched Bandeau Bralet, £8, Premium Oyster Co-ordinating Silky Blazer, £85, Fabio White Buckle Cuff Sandals, £42, all Topshop.

11.4.11

Pre Work Mini Spree.

Nothing like a little shop to try and remotely incentivize the forthcoming week from hell. Give me the strength to survive this week and give these wonderful purchases the attention and outings they deserve.

Black Floral Print Shirt, £38, Topshop.


Lips in Muted, £8, Topshop.

Medium Leather Carry-All Pouch, £40, American Apparel. (Excuse the DIY picture, I couldn't find this leather online, it's that special)

10.4.11

Wishful Thinking.

And another, arguably more practical, ensemble for a sunny Sunday. Do have a lovely day and think of me in the two worst places to be on a day like today; library and work.

Kourion Leather Gladiator Sandals, £235, Diane von Furstenberg. Straw Shopper Bag, £32, XL Semi Precious Tassel Necklace, £14, both Topshop. Pleated Crepe Gown, £1,715, Chloé.

It's A Sunny Situation.

Best make the most of the weather whilst it's here, it never stays for long, here is an outfit to excel in this sunny weekend. I think I'd walk barefoot for a year to wear these wedges for a day. They are beautiful beyond belief.

Water Snake Espadrille Wedges, £421, Chloé. Black Ribbon Bow Tie, Anywhere. Black Pleated Maxi Skirt By Marios, £190, Stone Sleeveless Casual Shirt, £32, Cut Out Stacker Ring Set, £8.50, all Topshop.

Pamela Love for Topshop.

You know that old cliché, 'dream come true'? Well this is one of those. Fave high street plus fave jewellery designer collaborations make Rosie a happy girl. Shame it's only five pieces but I have high hopes for those five. I've been waiting a while now but with them due in May, the suspense is starting to kill me. (Insert some ironic line about loving Pamela Love.)

Lav. Lav. Lav.

Been waiting for this one for a while. Beautiful.

Premium Grey Suede Fringe Cape, £195, Topshop.

The Perfect Palette.

A little glitz and glam for an April morning. I like my collars at the moment and think this Lanvin necklace would look très chic tucked under it, end up looking like a brooch almost. The dark nail varnish - because I wouldn't want people thinking I've gone soft.

Swarovski Crystal Insect Necklace, £1,145, Lanvin. Canapa Woven Canvas Wedge Pumps, £435, Theyskens' Theory. Slit-Front Crepe Skirt, £600, Chloé. White Sleeveless Square Armhole Shirt, £32, Nails in Galactic, £5, both Topshop.
