get the look: river island


You gotta love River Island. Their getting better and better by the day. I have to admit, I found this outfit on their "get a look" page and I couldn't resist but to put it on here because it is so amazing. They have gone so vintage! I remember when they were full of neon colours and tacky clothes, but now, I want to own the whole store. 

So this blouse is my favourate item. I want it so bad! The "tea bag" colour is amazing and I love the lace and button detail. It gives it a vintage/victorian look. But then it's paired with some high waisted shorts which are gorgeous and also keep it up to date and trendy. Wear with sunglasses and a pair of ankle boots and your set. 

One problem is that the prices are slightly high, but you can always look around for alternatives. You could get a pair of denim shorts from Primark, I have a pair of ankle boots from New Look and they were only £20.00 and I love them (and their a fraction of the River Island price). The blouse I think you would have to get from river Island, unless you did some thrifting to try and find a vintage one.

Lace and Button Blouse - £29.99
High Waisted Shorts - £29.99
Oversized Sunglasses - £12.99
Faux Fur Cuff Ankle boots - £74.99

trilby hats


I am a big fan of trilby hats. They seem to be the only hats that look good on me. I love that for one hat, there are so many different styles and types. Different colours, different ribbons accessorizing it and some with bows, feathers or corsages.

I own one similar to the hat in the bottom left corner. It had black ribbon when I bought it but I then got different coloured ribbons so I can swap them when I feel like it so it could go with a range of outfits. Just a small tip there.

One thing I'm wondering is are they still on trend for the autumn/winter season? I hope so. Topshop are regularly having new ones in stock so that means that they haven't gone out yet. Always a good thing.

Above is a few hats that are my personal favourate finds. My favourate one is the one top middle one (even though it's a man's hat).

Mixed Dark Straw Trilby - New Look - £8.00
Multi Coloured Trilby Hat - Red Herring - £14.00
Nude Linen Trilby - Miss Selfridge - £18.00
Cream Trilby - Miss Selfridge - £15.00
Feather Trilby - Topshop - £25.00
Straw Trilby - French connection - £30.00

alexander wang



Alexander Wang is one of my favourate designers. His clothes are absolutely amazing and unlike some designers, their wearable.Here are a few outfits from his spring/summer collection.

My favourate ever outfit of his is the one in the first photo. The high waisted shorts are flawless and make the models waist look tiny. The polo top is amazing. The colours are stunning and goes so well with denim blues. I love how he has mixed vertical lines on the shorts with horizontal lines on the tee.  I really want to find an outfit like this on the high street, it's so cute! 

The second outfit is also gorgeous. I love the tan leather shorts with the oversized tee. It has knee high gray socks like the first outfit, which gives it a sweet, ditsy look. 

The third outfit is very different to the other two and it's what I would call a daring outfit. I just love the edgyness of this outfit and the fact that it's grungy yet worn by a very pretty model. It's very different and I think that's why I love it!

shopping list: topshop


Topshop have always been my favourite high street store. They offer a wide range of cutting edge clothes at amazing prices, and one piece has the ability to transform a wardrobe forever.

Here, I've selected a few of my favourite things they have in store at the moment, just to show off how stunning it really is.  My favourate piece is the tattoo print dress. Its absolutely stunning. If you can't see the print properly then go on Topshop.com, search it and zoom in on the dress because the print is amazing! Second, I love the jeans. I'm not a jeans person at all, I actually turned all of my jeans into shorts so I have none, but these jeans I would love to own, (maybe as soon as I get a job). Then third, the shoe boots. How stunning are they?! As soon as I have places to wear heels, I will have to get these. 

The tee, bag and jewellery are also some of my other favourate pieces. I own the heart studs and their gorgeous and go with everything and have a vintage look about them. I may consider getting the bag for school. My school uniform is all black so it will brighten it up a bit.

Tattoo Print Babydoll Dress - £45.00
ALLY Shoe Boots - £80.00
Tapestry Box Bag - £30.00
I Love NY Tee by Realitee - £25.00
Ornate Flower Clamp - £20.00
