going out with an old friend...


Today I mainly bummed around the house in my jim jams, until 3 where I set off to style the shoot. It was terribly cold so I wore about 6 layers with my furry leopard print coat as I styled the model in my 1950's rabbit fur trimmed cape, which is what id normally wear in these occassions.
Im now preparing to go out in town with a friend who I havent seen in over a year.  I imagine it will be a tad tipsy and lots of danicng. Its tough knowing what to wear on a student night, as a great deal of the socialising is outside, so you have to be warm, but wear layers so you can whip'em off when you get your groove on the old dance floor. Iv gone for the polka dot playsuit with some thick tights and a cardi and then some basic suede ankle boots. Not overly exciting, but meh, its only a catch up...

first post



So this is what I wore today.... I took my small cousin to see the new Harry Potter (as I needed an excuse to go, cant go on my own obviously), so I thought casual yet cute. The skirt needs a bit of an iron, but I blame the cinema seats. Theyr so darn uncomfy, you just end up wiggling in it to find a spot that isnt as hard as stone, and your clothes come out looking like the dogs bed. Matched with a cashmere navy jumper with a vintage brooch (my grandmothers) and some sweet round toe heels, to pull out the colour in the skirt. The photo doesnt show it but the heel of the shoes are sparkling silver, which add a flash of colour and make them a tad more interesting I feel. Pulled together of course with the staple item of choice this winter, "the wooly tights". I dont know what id do without these beauties as I try to avoid trousers at all costs (they make me look short and stumpy, which they shouldnt, baring in mind im 5'7), so unless I want to freeze to buggery this fall, they will be worn most days. different pairs of course...
