Mixing high street, designer and vintage, I don't really fit in with the typical 'teen' stereotype; not in my village anyway. You can find my ponderings here.Talia Florencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00955503575422882662noreply@blogger.comBlogger48125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626548041336318960.post-41579669134339196292014-12-26T22:37:00.000+00:002014-12-26T22:37:10.818+00:00Ballin'<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Every once in a while, the opportunity comes along to dress up and make an effort for the evening. Trust me, when such an opportunity arises, I rarely turn down the offer to act like a princess for one evening and one evening only.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my college Michaelmas Ball, I was unsure which direction to take. The attire for the evening would be a vast mixture of short, long, plain and extravagant dresses; the theme was Hollywood glamour, thus I decided to take both the floor-length and the extravagant dress route. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dress discussed I picked up at London Fashion Weekend, almost two years ago. It is by the designer Ruth Tarvydas, via the website girlmeetsdress.com. It is full length sequined fishnet, layered on top of a plain polyester fabric of the same nude colour. The neckline is low (if you could even call it that!), a V-shape extending well below the bust. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The back detail on this dress is probably my favourite feature; two thin straps cross over and fall mid back, creating a gorgeous backless-like impression, without feeling that too much skin is on show. The dress also has a long train, which looks gorgeous but is not great to dance with! Another option to consider would be to try and hitch it up, and stitch it in place so it was a lot shorter. Unfortunately, I lacked the time to do this, and I do think the train adds an extra dimension to the dress, so I decided to leave the dress as I bought it (apart from shortening the straps slightly). </div>

With such a statement dress, I found it difficult to pair accessories with it. In the end, sticking with the 'Hollywood Glamour' theme of the ball, I decided to keep it simple and very 'red carpet'-esque with a sleek satin black clutch, red lips, and nude heels (which were not visible anyway). </div>

For make-up, I was tied between going for the nude eyes/red lips look or a smokey eye/nude lip combo. I decided on the former, seeing as I knew golden browns work best with my blue eye colour, and I thought I needed a bit of a pop of colour to outset the subtle beige/nude ton of the dress. For my eyes, I used the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, and for my lips I used a dark burgundy Kate Moss for Rimmel shade.</div>

For more dresses like this, I would check out Ruth Tarvydas. Most of her dresses are sequinned, which are perfect for the festive season and for any event for which you are looking to stand out! A brand which I would say is similar, but just on the shorter/less formal side is Jovani. </div>

Keeping with the monochromatic palette that I've been loving recently, here is a list of sale items I've been lusting over from River Island, most of which are black and white. Thinking ahead to the Autumn, I've included a couple of coats which can be thrown over jeans and skirts to protect us from unfavourable weather, without having to worry about being fashionable. I also have included a couple of splashes of blue and pink, which compliment the other items harmoniously.</div>

Zara used to be a simple brand- essentially, it emulated an iconic capsule collection consisting of a few key shapes, styles and items which were re-released each season. The way they kept it fresh and relevant was simply to change the colour and pattern of these pieces, depending on trends forecasted from the international bi-annual catwalks. Recently (and by recently I mean in the past three or four years), Zara has become a lot more mainstream, and a consequence of this is that the quality of their products has unfortunately decreased. For the same price to the consumer, what was once leather and silk has now been swapped for polyurethane and polyester. Zara became no different to any other mass-produced high street chain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the other hand, I can still see the appeal of this popular brand. The people behind Zara always seem to keep on top of current fashion trends- many of their cult items are regularly sold out, and re-sold on eBay for a much higher price, sometimes for up to 800% the original RRP. It is also a store praised for its designer 'dupes', making luxury high-end fashion accessible for all. Here I have picked a few items from their summer sale which I think are key winners- pieces that are wearable and timeless, and that are valid for the remaining summer months and that can transition into the Autumn too. </div>

The oldest memory I have of Alexander McQueen is those big bold red lips, somewhat like a clown, strutting down the A/W 2009 catwalk accompanied a variety of monochrome hounds tooth ensembles. Shocked by this distinct, slightly ugly look, but at the same time intrigued, my twelve year old self went out and bought a hound-tooth skirt suit from Next girls in the coming months via a car boot sale. The skirt didn't fit, and the blazer's one button didn't quite do up comfortably, but there in my wardrobe hung my little piece of fashion.<br>
<br>
The next season, McQueen's collection featured alien-like hairstyles, insect-like makeup and digital reptile print dresses. The shoes, curved from the ankle to the toe, balancing on a skinny stiletto heel, were like nothing anyone had ever seen before. I think this was the moment when my mind truly became engaged in the fashion world. <br>
<br>
This season, Sarah Burton- now head of the late McQueen's fashion label- has presented us with feathers, gems, glitter and festive colours- but they are in such a way that is suitable for those luxurious summer evenings. Mostly a formal collection, these pieces speak for themselves. <br>

This simple black dress is transformed into a red carpet evening gown by the gems which the neck, arm hole and waist areas, in subtle colours to avoid garish boasting in order to portray true luxury. A series of fine feathers add a peplum effect- a trend seen on skirts, tops, even coats everywhere last season- creating the illusion of a voluptuous figure for even the most boyish body types. The tassles which hang from the small gold and sequin bag nod to the recent Baz Luhrman 'The Great Gatsby' film, this outfit oozing 1920s glamour from head to toe.</div>

Presenting a melange of cultures and trends, it is difficult to understand what this dress is trying to achieve; however, it works. The print is potentially inspired by the aztecs, the ancient peruvian tribe which was famed for its construction of Machu Picchu, considering the step-like design in the centre of the dress. It also contains some shapes which look like barcodes, holly leaves and pacman monsters, which are not too mismatched due to the deep coral red colour, something which is unique comapred to typical sand-coloured designs. Gold Egyptian jewellery, such as cuffs and a choker, makes this short body con dress (a style usually exclusive to house parties attended by the younger end of the teenage spectrum) slightly more mature and appropriate for more lavish affairs. Nonethess, chunky, strappy, heeled biker sandals bring the dress back down to earth and ensure the it does not claim to be something which is not. An ongoing third trend- 'sport luxe' - is touched upon as well, the fabric appearing to be of a neoprene-like texture from afar. By replacing the heels with some Doc Martens, and adding a black biker jacket, this dress would not look out of place for daytime use. </div>

Another outfit which contains Egyptian elements, this dress could be designed for the Godess of Love. The sweetheart neckline and scarlet colour would have made this dress perfect for a Valentine's ball, the dainty pleats and sheer layers adding a delicate romanticisty without being too cliché. </div>

Here are some of my favourite looks for S/S 2014. <br />
<br />
<b><i>Alberta Ferretti</i></b><br />
Growing up, I remember Alberta Ferretti's show as a parade of romantic lace and gothic makeup, some looks inducing an image of 'runaway bride', whereas others oozing with subtle 20's glamour. Intricate detail was always present, and this season is no different. Vogue describes her currently collection as aimed at 'girls with nothing but sunshine on the mind', probably due to the bright colours and floral arrangements. For me, certain looks- those containing black garments- suggested a lost mind, maybe one who's mind was still reminiscing over winter, trying to hide its unwillingness for the heated months with small, summery accents.<br />
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Channeling Natalie Portman in Black Swan, particularly with the ribbon-tie ballet shoes, this dress takes a walk through Alice in Wonderland- the scene with the giant pansies and multicolored toadstools. The asymmetric hemline and sheer yoke make this dress slightly more mature, and the orange earrings bring out a focal point in the dress amongst the melange of colours. </div>

With this dress, the first image that springs to mind is a nice, ripe tangerine. Not a satsuma, the colour is much more vibrant and long-lasting than that. Again, with an asymmetric hem line, this dress could work for both less and more formal events. The neckline is a bit more daring, however most cleavage is concealed. Floral additions in a mid-tone lilac hue complement the bright orange fantastically. </div>

And here is an appearance from Miss Scarlet of the board game Cluedo. A fierce red dress always impresses, yet Alberta goes the extra mile by combining different textures and features, such as sheer panels, three-dimensional flowers, and a layered neckline. This gown produces a sexy image without giving too much away; the unique layering makes it call for more investigation.</div>

Not only is this dress black, but it contains crochet: should we be sceptical? Alberta ingeniously turns our assumptions upside down and inside out by bringing typically 'Winter' trends into a Spring/Summer Catwalk. Needless to say, she has done so successfully. I have always considered black to look chic on a sunny day, however it is not easy to pull off. Long sleeves may be intimidating, but made less so due to the fact the top is sheer. Finally, orange earrings alleviate any suggestion of a sombre mood. </div>

Something one would wear to a Harajuku music festival, this crop top and skirt combo shout summer from angles. The stripes aren't quite as uniform as those in the 2010 Sonia Rykiel for H&M collection, if anyone remembers those days? The colour combination of white and various warm shades of pink is easy on the eye, while still attracting the odd glance. The unexpected addition of blue mirrored lens aviators keep this outfit cool, effortless and not-giving-a-damn-about-what-anyone-thinks.</div>

After searching high and low for a pair of black leather dungarees, a mission which proved unsuccessful, I managed to pick up this pair of black waxed denim full-length overalls from River Island. An outreaching trend, it serves a range of people from the four year-old American pre-schooler to the hairy biker. It is safe to say I aimed to style more like the latter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It may look like a one trick pony, but I can assure you these dungarees can be worn with so many different pieces; white t-shirts, Breton stripe tops, Christmas jumpers, formal dinner shirts.. the combinations are pretty endless. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here, I am wearing an M&S men's long white oversized pyjama top, Topshop chain necklace, grey H&M beanie and -another new addition- Doc Martens. Justification: they are a classic, work with anything, and are simply and utterly beautiful. Also, my creepers are falling apart after almost two years of daily wear through wind and rain. </div>

Never a place I've shopped at before; however it is taking a turn for the best by introducing some more mature and at the same time grunge-y items. No wonder it is a hub for the young crowd, the website offers 20% discount for students and free UK delivery and returns. Here are some of my top sale picks:</span><br />

There is a variation of this top with the word '<i>ZAP' </i>instead in yellow and pink sequins. If necessary, this can be used for superhero-themed fancy dress.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">This is a great summer piece that would look great city-roaming with leather sandals and some round quirky sunglasses. Black is a colour which I think is easy to pull off in the summer, looking instantly chic and definitely different to the myriad of bright hues and garish florals we are bombarded with, so this playsuit is an easy and multi-purpose piece, with uses for both day and night. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Yes, it probably is not acceptable to wear this top anywhere other than a rave, with its short hemline and daring transparent nature. However, it does not fail to catch eyes, and is perfect if you have a sporty collection of bras which would otherwise remain untouched. Paired with trousers or jeans, this top will keep a party outfit understated yet undeniably cool; a body-con skirt or skimpy shorts will not do this top any favours, however, and will scream 'try-hard' and 'sci-fi freak' and possibly attract some other insults about lack of clothing in this cold weather. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Following the earlier post, here are some items from Zara's younger line, TRF, aimed at teenagers. With a more youthful feel, I feel like these items are less suited for work wear and more for the weekend. All would look great with a leather jacket and Dr. martens or Underground creepers.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sheer fabric, girly florals, what better way to wear than with chunky leather accessories?

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Zara are renowned for their sleek workwear and Jil Sander dupes, this season reflecting that no less. On the other hand, I find Zara sales fairly poor, with miniscule discounts and a lack of variety in sizes. This season, I've had a look and picked out the items which I think are real classics which will be on trend for multiple seasons to come.</span></div>

A hungry girl's quick 4-cheese, garlic and herb pasta<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a health freak. Chocolates are a no-go. Carbs are <i>definitely</i> a no-go. But some times, there is nothing more that I crave than midnight noodles. Here is a quick make-it-up-as-you-go-along recipe I made today:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVdx_eyfzBTv6ynMMNjn3U46PtjXKE-AjckAvZsn635bcr56UJSMAm40DnIKQufnSnbyOXZJPO2RqahgwUEsGMn9kH5e31IMzRFSjRJCeNXKVYubEA7rTNk4emI0sl8pipVBT7rlagGs/s1600/Tonbridge+and+Malling-20131228-00112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVdx_eyfzBTv6ynMMNjn3U46PtjXKE-AjckAvZsn635bcr56UJSMAm40DnIKQufnSnbyOXZJPO2RqahgwUEsGMn9kH5e31IMzRFSjRJCeNXKVYubEA7rTNk4emI0sl8pipVBT7rlagGs/s640/Tonbridge+and+Malling-20131228-00112.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">1. Boil some 3-minute spaghetti noodles in a pan. To quicken the process, I boil the water in a kettle first before putting on the hob. Drain the noodles through a colander and then pour back into the pan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">2. Throw in 1/3 tub of Philadelphia cream cheese (it can be herb and cheese flavour but I used original). Then grate in various cheeses of different proportions- I used feta, gorgonzola, smoked Bavarian and red Leicester. It's a great way to get rid of those cheeses hiding at the back of the shelf that you wouldn't necessarily put on a cheeseboard at a dinner party. Watch the pan carefully and stir regularly so that the pasta does not stick to the pan/burn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">3. Add in garlic powder and Italian herb seasoning to taste.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">4. Chop some black olives and sun-dried tomatoes (the ones you get in a jar) in half and throw on top of the pasta. I'd recommend doing this while the water is boiling as after this the cheese melts fairly quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Enjoy!</span><br />

The recent scandal of Miley Cyrus' VMA performance with Robin Thicke caused much speculation, which has quite clearly not faded yet, considering that the amount of feminist and parental monologues posted on Youtube is increasing day by day </div>

Although personally I do believe that her performance was inappropriate for a live-televised family show, I simply cannot deny that I am in love with her outfit and those of the three semi-naked models in the original Blurred Lines video, in particular, the white platform Y.R.U. <a href="http://y-r-u.com/product/qozmo-hi-white-2/" target="_blank">Qozmo</a> shoes.</div>

I was undecided as to whether to buy the shoes for myself, as they can be worn during the day (surely, they're <i>practically </i>flat?!); however, they are not available to purchase in the UK, shipping and taxes are currently at an extortionate price tag, they are not real leather so their lifespan is questionable, and I remembered that I could work with a pair of shoes I already have....</div>

White shoes don't seem to be the easiest to style at a first hearing, so I thought I would make myself a challenge and try and find 4 distinctively different, wearable- although that is subjective- outfits!</div>

<i><b> Outfit #1: Modern floral queen</b></i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Customized denim shorts have yet to disappear of the fashion blogging scene! Here is a pair that I made myself from a pair of my mom's old jeans from the early nineties; I used pyramid studs on the inside of one front pocket and made a triangle design near the hem of the other. A Celine A/W catwalk from a couple of years ago inspired the tucking and pulling of the shirt low down. To complete the floral, indie character of the outfit, I added this floral crown, which I had used for World Book day fancy dress about 8 years ago, in which I dressed up as Shakespeare's Juliet. </div>

<i><b>Outfit #2: Miss American Pie</b></i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Does anyone remember the Topshop denim American-flag print shorts that circulated 2 years ago, spotted on the likes of Rihanna and Marina Diamandis? Well, this is my slightly more obvious take on that patriarchal trend. I have yet to have the courage to wear these outside the four walls of my bedroom yet (except for this picture), but decided that they would look good with such 70s style shoes. I kept the rest of the outfit fairly low-key, with a plain white t-shirt to not distract from the shorts. I added a black-toned chain necklace and black leather clutch to keep the outfit slightly tough and street-wear-appropriate, and added some grey leopard print sheer socks for the hell of it.</div>

<i><b>Outfit #3: I just can't get enough (of sequins!)</b></i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Less is more"... really, does that quote still apply in the twenty-first century? Anna Dello Russo would certainly not agree! This is an outfit for a night out on the town. Now, you'd think that with such an array of colours in the dress, that it would be wise to home this focus by toning the rest of the outfit down. Think not! The metallic blue leather jacket is a lot more fun and occasion-appropriate than the typical black. The sequin clutch bag just adds another dimension, as the sequins area lot smaller and from a different colour-way. Yes, frilly socks are present, just to ensure that the outfit is not taken too seriously and mature (and also to prolong possible dance time, as none is lost to blister-examination). </div>

<i><b>Outfit #4: Calafornia King Bed</b></i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />This is my favourite outfit by a clear mile! Channeling Californian Skater Dudette vs LA chillaxed musician, this outfit contains only white and black, which makes it a lot more forgiving and instantly more sophisticated. The John Lennon-esque glasses and vinyl record bag just complete the indie vibe, making this outfit very versatile, for both daytime leisurewear and midnight clubbing. A chain bracelet and necklace keeps the outfit looking fresh and up-to-date (a bit of a nod towards the Rihanna for River Island SS13 Collection).</div>

Talia Florencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00955503575422882662noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626548041336318960.post-63339973449693596152013-09-03T00:59:00.002+01:002013-09-03T00:59:29.455+01:00My Personal Style RulesEveryone, mostly subconsciously, has a set of rules in which they live their lives: go to church every sunday, refrain from meat, work hard, be happy, do what your mother says; this differs due to our genes, upbringing, age, situation, how we're feeling and the people around us. It is the same with fashion. Whether you decide not to wear body con dresses as they do not flatter your figure (as I do), incorporate a maximum of 3 colours in an outfit or never wear flats on a night out on the town, we can each accumulate a list if we think about it in more detail. Here is my (non-exhaustive!) list below:<br />
<br />
<i><b>1. Buy one show-stopping item each season</b></i><br />
If you buy more than one, then it's not a statement piece.<i><b> </b></i>Wear it to death, people will recognise it as your trademark, 'the girl with the pink shoes' or 'the girl in the tulip dress'. It's a good feeling. When you start to get bored of it, try to style it with different things, things that you wouldn't think would quite work. Trust me, you'll find a way. If it's beauty is questionable, then it's a winner. You want people to stir, to question, rather than to just accept something at a first glance. My first pair of expensive shoes were the Topshop Hi Vamp hot pink suede wedges, which my mum called 'Stunningly ugly'... I haven't looked back since. <br />
<br />
<i><b>2. Invest in shoes</b></i><br />
They have to work with most outfits. Black is key, but have a couple of bold coloured, beautiful, admirable heels to. Even though they're more difficult to work with, you'll end up thinking about them more, and thus the outfit combinations will be so much more satisfying when you do manage a winner. Often, you'll find the best shoes when you're not looking for them. Don't hesitate to spend when you do find a pair which grabs your attention and won't leave your mind, this is a rare occurrence. <i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>3. Avoid figure-hugging pieces on your bottom half</b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i>Personally, I know that they simply do not like my pear-shape. So why waste money, when I can find something which is just as nice and makes me look ten times better? Even if a bodycon dress had a fabulous, unique print, I just wouldn't be able to part with my money, as I know I'd feel self-conscious whenever I wore it, and confidence is priceless. <br />
<br />
<i><b>4. Wear heels at every opportunity</b></i><br />
Yes, they may damage your spine and what not, but you only live once. I don't see myself wearing heels at the age of 60, so I've got to make up for it now. Not to mention, the added benefits of leaner looking legs, greater versatility, and simply being taller.<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b>5. Learn how much jewellery is too much</b></i><br />
Stacking threaded bracelets from your travels may be sentimental and 'indie', appropriate it may be not. When you're wearing something chic, clean and the focus of an outfit, adding some jewellery just takes away the magic. Less is, indeed, more (in most cases). Let earrings become your best friend: they are never too much. If your outfit is powerful enough, wear subtle studs. If your outfit is boring or lacking a focal point, wear large, statement, sparkly, dangly earrings. <br />
<br />
<i><b>6. Never let your underwear show</b></i><br />
VPL is simply unnecessary. It is neither sexy nor cool. Invest in pretty, yet not-too-fancy separates, which make you coo at the sight of them. Ensure you have both a tan thong and tan strapless bra; with these modern inventions being widely available, there is no need for a white or hot pink bra strap to be in sight. You are not thirteen. Even if you are, do not be like the other thirteen year olds. <i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>7. If you don't have a jacket to match your outfit, go cold</b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i>So this may not be the safest bit of advice, feel free to ignore me if you suffer from hypothermia or some other such health condition. For me, I don't mind braving the chill for fashion. There's nothing worse than ruining a perfectly thought-out outfit. Cavemen didn't use to wear coats, yet they survived. After all; no pain, no gain.<br />
<br />
<i><b>8. If you have clashed two different prints, make sure it is obvious</b></i><br />
Don't make it look like you have nothing else to wear. Or you are from 1973. Prints can be very effective, and look extremely high-fashion if they are distinctive enough. But step into the grey area and be warned, you may look more like 45 year-old inexperienced charity-shop visitor rather than the next Susie Bubble.<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b>9. Don't wear too many pieces of the same colour. Cross-coordination is so 2006</b></i><br />
Salmon, rose, fuschia, magenta, raspberry... too many shades of pink and you'll just look a little bit obsessed. The same goes with every other shade. It is no longer fashion law for every item to 'compliment' one another. Clashing fashion (kind of rhymes) as come quite far in recent years. Blue and orange, for example, rather than blue and blue, adds an unexpected yet welcome accent.<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b>10. If the nail polish doesn't compliment your outfit, you have two options: REMOVE POLISH or REMOVE CLOTHES </b></i><br />
Neither party would feel particularly comfortable if you walked in public without any clothes on, so take of your nail polish, 1) It is unlikely that anyone would notice anyway and 2) you don't want to find yourself picking your varnish off when you catch a glimpse in the underground station mirrored wall. Nude nails always come back in season, so don't risk it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's a quick outfit post of what I wore to the cinema for "Now You See Me", which I thought was a very engaging film. It happened to be a thriller, my favourite genre, but reminded me somewhat of Scooby Doo- possibly the mixture of character personnages and vaguely 'goodies vs. baddies' storyline.</span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hadn't worn this top I had bought at probably my favourite vintage shop in August yet, and due to its possible 'grandmother' connotations, I tried to keep it young with denim shorts and black leather accessories. Pink is supposed to be a very prominent colour this coming fall, but to balance out the child-like linen and white floral embroidery, studs and a ferret tail ensured the outfit still felt my own.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Considering all my recent posts have been quite high on the word-count front, I thought I'd make this one slightly more...vision-friendly! I visited a regular antiques market this morning, followed by a one-off food festival for lunch. The antiques market was a bit of a let-down; the prices were extortionate and the variety was limited. On the other hand, the food market exceeded all of my expectations. There was such a large choice of fresh food, definitely something for everything. Portions were quite small, so it was nice to be able to try a bit of everything, from Mexican, to polish, vegan to ice creams.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Although they are most commonly associated with seaside activities, I think denim shorts are perfect for hot days wandering city streets. If worn correctly, (i.e. not a bikini/crop top and flip flops), they can look rather chic, far from the 'California girls' ditsy daisy-dukes stereotype. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Making sure the rest of the outfit is quite simple, I've gone for a black and tan theme. I read once that you should have a maximum of 3 colours/tones in an outfit (black and white excluded), and I think it's a pretty good rule to follow. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">To make the outfit still look quite young, I've worn a blue lace bralette from Gilly Hicks, and jewellery such as these feather earrings from Topshop and an assortment of thread bracelets.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One o'clock pre-lunch snack: Snickers and Hazelnut Chocolate ice creams. If I'm honest, the Snickers was lacking flavour slightly. Next time, I think I'd rather get 'Hello Kitty' (Cream flavoured with pink bubble-gum sauce). The Hazelnut Chocolate tasted like a more expensive version of Nutella, with small nutty pieces. I'm not usually a fan of chocolate- to be frank, it's quite predictable and heavy. This, on the other hand, I will happily eat again!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For lunch, we went to 'GreenPeas', an eco-café and bistro type of place. For starters, we shared a Courgette Soup. Sounded not too tasty (half price soup with a main before 4 o'clock so we thought we may as well give it a try), but we couldn't have been more judgemental. It was creamy, and had sunflower seeds also. Absolute heaven, very filling, and the portion was generous.</span></div>

It was tasty (if a bit too salty- slightly too much feta- for my liking), and the garlic sauce ensured the spinach wasn't too dry. Served with coleslaw and lettuce, this dish was filling, but not bloating.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My mum had the green broad bean and pumpkin burgers, served with boiled mixed vegetables. It was okay- slightly plain (e.g. they could have served it with a wholemeal bun or pitta bread and some tomato salsa), but the service was very good, as the waitress came and said that the burgers may be dry, and so did offer a complimentary selection of 4 sauces. Overall, a fairly inexpensive and pleasant place to eat lunch, and I would go back to try some of the other daily dishes on offer,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A holiday without shopping?!? No, I've never heard of such a thing either.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">While in Warsaw, I took a trip to the recently renovated Fashion House Outlet. Not expecting too much (as it's not in the centre, I've heard it's a bit of a waste of time), I was pleasantly surprised to find many higher-end brands, such as Stefanel, Missoni, Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste, MaxMara and Hugo Boss. I did have a look, and many items were hardly discounted; however, I did manage to find a jewel amongst the rubble in the Spanish chain, Mango.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Say hello to my new sunglasses. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Although called the 'cat-eye', (buy similar <a href="http://shop.mango.com/GB/p0/mango/accessories/sunglasses/metal-appliques-cat-eye-sunglasses/?id=13000052_06&n=1&s=accesorios.gafas&ie=0&m=&ts=1375375951782" target="_blank">here</a>), I'd say the shape is a cross between that and a typical wayfarer, since they are less oblong than the latter. I recently broke my supposedly 'hard-wearing' round Topshop sunglasses while on a weekend break to Brighton, so these are the sought-after replacement.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I was not expecting a case with them, which was a nice touch. Cream mock-grain leather with a magnetic fastening, and even a care manual made these sunglasses feel a lot more expensive than their RRP of <span class="erased ficha_precio_venta_entero false"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">£</span></span>17.99. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The frames from the front are plain black, but from the side are a clear/grey/black tortoiseshell, meaning they would work with most outfits. There is a small 'MNG' engraving on a silver-coloured metal on the side, which I was extremely drawn to as it was subtle and classy. I'm not a huge fan of excessive labels and branding, so these seemed perfect since they are two things that are difficult to avoid nowadays.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Just thought I'd share this star find: yes, they are slightly tacky, but doesn't that add to the fun?! These sheer leopard-print ankle socks were about 40p each from Auchan (a French supermarket), and I thought they'd look great with low-top Converse or black suede Creepers. With grey, purple and the traditional brown, I'm hoping I'm sure I can switch them up to suit my mood and match my outfit (if even possible!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Smoked tofu fried in egg and breadcrumbs= absolutely delicious. I know it would be a bit lacking in flavour for some, but next time I may try it with a tomato puree sauce, sweet chilli or pesto side. Alternatively, I may add paprika or Italian seasoning to the breadcrumbs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cucumber, pepper, tomato and lettuce salad with a herb/garlic oil-based dressing; this was very tasty, but I only realised afterwards how many calories the dressing had- 140 per serving! I also had boiled yellow string beans, which are great served cold as a snack or warm as an accompaniment to a piece of meat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'd like to have a bit of a 'revamp' in my bedroom. Not drastic changes, just so that it feels a bit different- less clutter, slightly more practical without sacrificing style. I've had a bit of a google search, and here are some photos for inspiration. As you can see, they're all white, light and clutter-free, with a few ornaments to make it look homely. From my mum's suggestions, I've also looked at places with a 'splash of colour', however I think they detract from the total impact of the white. No doubt an ikea browse is to follow.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I seem to be having heel withdrawal symptoms. After a while of wearing sandals, my feet just crave to be raised at a 45 degree angle. So, even though I was going to outdoor pub grill this evening for supper, I planned my outfit around this recent Zara purchase- silver medium-sized block heels. They may not be the easiest to walk in, but they channel a slightly toned down Madonna-cross-R2D2-vibe. Originally I had planned a black skater skirt and bright purple lipstick; my mum thought it slightly inappropriate to wear practically what I wear to school to a bar, and that I had brought plenty of other clothes across the channel which needed to be taken advantage of.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Even though these shoes aren't completely subtle, I would never plan for them to be the focal point of an outfit, due to their simple style. The skirt seemed weather-appropriate, and the top kind of just felt to work the best with it. Bag and sunnies=essentials=pretty self explanatory.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yes, the image above is very yellow-toned; however, sometimes those moments arise where your life just seems to be lacking in 'Cinemascope'. Today I had one of those moments.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">It was extremely hot today in Warsaw- where I'm based for the next two and a half weeks- 35 degrees linger as if it were the Sinai Peninsula. Thus, I thought it acceptable to wear a crop top- something which I rarely do. This sporty, cotton one is from Topshop which I picked up from the sale last year for about 3 pounds.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">This silk-cotton mix skirt is from Jack Wills. Yes, I too once sneered at the name, but amongst the surplus of candy-coloured branded t-shirts and overpriced stripy ankle socks a good-quality gem or too are awaiting discovery. I've managed to get more wear out of the skirt than I originally thought- though a crisp white shirt and tan brogues are probably my favourite combination: preppy Manhattan public school student meets 70-year old Scottish highlander. It looks better than it sounds.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">If I'm honest, I was wearing the trainers as I was walking my dogs, not because I was trying to emulate a 90's grunge vibe, but I kind of ending up liking what it looked like- not too try-hard 'unique'. Also, I probably would have worn different socks if they were clean. I'm not a fan of things that match too much. As the current rule stands- same colour or same texture, <em>never both. </em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">Again, I realise the photo on the right is a bit posey. Ah well, we all like to pretend we're being photographed in the 90's with a lomography camera every now and again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Leopard print...ponyhair...block heel... surely a one-way ticket to tack-town?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">Okay, so it may not sound like a component of an instantly chic outfit; however, I truly believe <strike>anything</strike> most things can be stylish if paired together with the right items.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I bought these leather boots from Topshop yesterday, in the sale for<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> £30 (down from £70), which I thought was a bargain! Unfortunately after wearing them today, for only five hours, my feet ache so much! But hey ho, no pain no gain as they say! I'm usually not the greatest fan of 'heeled flat' shoes- the majority of my collection are either below 1/2 inch heel or above 6inch, but I thought these were far from my pet hate- kitten heels- and so I made the exception.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">So how did I style them?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Personally, I tend to splurge on timeless classics; items such as a black velvet dress, a crisp white shirt or tan leather brogues can last a lifetime if they are both made to the best of quality and taken care of correctly.</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This leaves the items that change seasonally, 'fashionable' items in other terms, to be found through other sources, for example on the high street or via thrifting; however, I often struggle to part with my money for a piece of clothing that could be considered to only worn for 3 months. Therefore, every thing I buy is deeply considered prior to purchase, and I aim to find multiple ways of wearing it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;">The first item I am investigating, is <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=201&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=10499867&langId=-1&sort_field=Price Ascending&categoryId=208523&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=200" target="_blank">this</a> orange dress. Yes, you heard correctly, orange. I have to admit, orange is my second favourite colour, after brown, but a true success is finding attractive ways to style something you'd otherwise hate, so I thought I'd give it a go. I also love the shape of the dress, which is simple yet modern, allowing the print to do the talking.</span></div>

The main focus of this outfit was the skirt, as I had received it for Christmas and had yet had an opportunity to wear it. Only afterwards did I realise that my orange/red nail varnish coordinated with the floral print. As I was going out, I swapped my originally planned black v-neck t-shirt for a silk blouse, on par with my usual melange of high street and vintage. I thought the leather jacket added a needed rocker 'edge', ensuring I remained myself and did not look too put together. As always, my outfit would have been incomplete without a pair of heels.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mid-February happens to be the mid-life crisis period of the calender year; too far past Christmas to still be buzzing over the winter festivities, but Summer is yet a while off. I, like most people, happen to find myself in a state of demotivation. It is not close enough to exams to commence revision, but it lingers in my mind that it would be in my best interest to start looking over my notes so that I do not cram last-minute. So how do I go about this?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">First up, I picked up these gorgeous trousers from Topshop; the material is a very lightweight cotton which would be perfect in the summer with a white t-shirt and tan sandals, or in the winter with a grey sweater, frilly socks, creepers, leather jacket and some large neon accessories. Unfortunately, they do not fit particularly well; although they are from the Petite range (which is supposed to fit up to 5'4" lasses), they come up extremely short and thus do not fit over my thighs! So they will be going back, such a shame since they were a bargain in the sale! :(</span></div>

<div align="left" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I also bought 2 pairs of neon earring and a chain/neon cord bracelet from Topshop, which I thought would complement any monochrome outfit and silver accessories!</span> </div>

A lie in this morning (and recovery from a huge Prezzo pizza and fries last night) meant I only wanted something on the small side for breakfast, which led to a dip in the fruit bowl for a kiwi :)</span> </div>

I'm currently away on holiday in Warsaw, Poland, so here are just a couple of quick outfit posts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1. For an open-air Chopin concert, I decided to wear this horizantal striped Topshop jersey dress, which is comfortable and versatile. I paired it with my large Watermelon earrings to make the outfit slightly more formal and colourful, keeping my other accessories monochromatic. The dress is quite plain in style, so I decided to add a tough edge with creepers, still keeping it feminine with frilly lace socks. My bag is 'vintage', it was my mum's in the 70's. Unfortunately, later it poured with rain, and my Creepers are still drying half a week later :(</div>

2. I wore this DKNY jumpsuit while shopping in the city centre with friends and had little time before going out to a family tea, so I threw on these hot pink suede Topshop wedges. The leopard print scarf-belt is Vintage which I 'borrowed' from my grandmother because it matched the sandals I wore during the day. Again, I'm sporting my favourite bag at the moment.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. A very casual, 'city chic' look which I wore shopping and then to the swimming pool, I decided to elaborate the plain Topman t-shirt and basic denim shorts with a silk Mary Katrantzou for Topshop scarf (post coming soon!) My sandals are from Aldo and my bag is vintage</div>
