Dance dance dance!

Coat Burberry (a find in a charity shop), Scarf H&M, Shoes Adidas

Busy busy day so just a quick post...feel like i have been dance dance dancing!
So this is Jenny just after her dance class! I love throw together looks! When people pull them off it is so naturally chic.

Found a new artist today courtesy of Lorna's blog...Emily Haines...perfect to get me through this evening chained to coursework, tired! Can't wait till easter!

Pure London Spring '09

Finally got round to putting up photos from Pure. Pure London is an event that gives brands such as Motel, Superdry but to name a few to show off their new collections to Fashion Wholesalers. my lecturer from Central Saint Martins had recommended I go check it out, I dragged Lorna along, she loved it too!

The day was intense, for any women who loves clothes, Pure is like going into a huge discount candy store, where you're not allowed to buy or eat anything! Opened my eyes to the huge mark-up retailers put on clothes, shoes and accessories! But we loved it none-the-less. made me realise clothes really are the love of my life (of course following my family, friends, boyfriend and dog!)

The real stars of the show were in the Spirit section; Motel and Blush (teddy bear head mannequins!) I have fallen in love with the Motel Linda Dress, just need £45, found one for £37 in Jolly's but it had a faulty zip that my sewing skills or those of my housemate Jo wouldn't have been able to fix! Keep dreaming!

Fashion at Bath 2009 tonight

Its Fashion at Bath 2009 http://www.fashionbath.co.uk/ tonight! Been at University for four years and this is the first year I have managed to get myself to the annual charity fashion event, previous years have been plagued by laziness, lack of funds and international travel. Its going to be a dash to get there on time, and to look presentable, but excited and hopefully I will be doing plenty of camera clicking.




Weather is changing in Bath! Super sunny, out come the sandals and away go the jackets, the overlly keen are out in shorts and tangoed legs (naturally, it would be impossible to have a bronzed glow at this time of year). As Jules always said, "one looks silly, no matter how hot one's outfit is, if one is not dressed appropriately for the season".





Cue Sam! Fresh and summery but not a mirror image of the typical brit with their t-shirt off at the first break of sunshine in the middle of winter!

Sandals - Office
Denim - TopShop
Blazer - TopShop
Broach - Guildhall Market, Bath. Snapped up from its stumble into the bargain bin!
Bracelet - TopShop
Bag - TopShop
Shopper - London Fashion Weekend (tickets can be bought, and it's a well worth it event!)
Top - This is an 8-Way top, that Sam's brother got for her from a friend in Sydney who designed it. Early that morning Sam discovered that it is in fact a 9-Way top, see above 9th option! Tried to find a website for the top, couldn't find anything :(



What does one wear to a Fashion Event? Need to come up with something in the next 15 minutes before work! At least I will have achieved the "oh this little thing?! i just threw it together before running out the door" effect!

Ingenuity and promiscuity...

Fashion in bath! Slight change of plan, 4th year is looking to be a little busier than first expected, I don't really have the time to come up with interesting outfits, jeans and t-shirts are my staple wardrobe diet...sad, can't wait till I graduate!

So am going to keep you updated on my fashion inspirations and the life of a fashionista aficionado like myself in belle Bath.

This is Lorna! Forever bright, beautiful and daring! I aspire to have here confidence and ability to mix and match quirky pieces!
