Aaargh uni has been so crazy recently! I've got some time now, can't wait to start posting again :)

COUNTING DOWN

Thursday 25th March will be the best day ever. The uphill struggle that is my 10 000 word dissertation will be handed in. I will party for the first time in weeks.

Oh, and these pieces of sexiness will be mine!!

H&M's eco-friendly line 'The Garden Collection' comes out on the 25th, yay.

FUTURE SOUL

Yulia Gorodinski

I've been listening to loads of soulful/electronic music recently. I love it! I'd describe it as 'future soul' I suppose. Here are two of my favourites -


Electric Wire Hustle - They Don't Want


New Look - Everything

Such gorgeous music! Enjoy :)

WHAT I WORE

I predict I'll wear nudes and pale pinks to death this spring! I've had to pair my dress with my winter-y pieces however, still waiting for some heat :(

Dress: Primark, cardigan + coat: +J @ Uniqlo, scarf: H&M, boots: Topshop

LONDON STYLE

Mary-Kate shut it down! Now this is how you do black.

PURE LUST

So I'm not usually a fan of River Island, all that colour hurts my eyes after all. But no joke I began to drool when I laid eyes on these babies! My student budget is telling me 'NO!' ... but I'll work my way around this. They must be mine!

 

  

Wedge lace desert boots in light grey, £49.99 @ River Island

Shopaholic? Who me?? Gosh no!

FIERCE BITCH #3: GIOVANNA BATTAGLIA

'I see it, I want it, and I wear it without thinking about it too much. If I can't find the piece that's gratifying right away, I go through my wardrobe like a miner in search of the right gem.' (Interview magazine Jan 2010)

This ah-mazing style goddess is fashion director for Vogue Gioiello & Vogue Pelle.

Giovanna fuses a classic, ladylike style with unique and quirky pieces. I love how she experiments with colour and texture. Gosh, she makes me want to throw on some colours ... almost ... haha.

THE ROW

MKA's debut runway collection is flawless! I want it all!!

I adore the interesting cuts and draping fabrics, as well as the small bursts of blue and brown. Perfect!

SHINY SHOES

I saw these babies in the Topshop sale, and I just had to have them! I already have a similar pair in synthetic, so I thought, 'why not upgrade?!' They are so super shiny; I'm reminded of wet ink.

 

What I wore them with ... 

Shoes & jeans: Topshop, coat: +J @ Uniqlo, top: H&M, bag: vintage

BLOGLOVIN

I adore Bloglovin! My fashion obsession becomes that little bit easier!

STICKING ME TO MY BABY

First heard on the soundtrack of the teen classic 'Passport to Paris' starring the legendary MKA, this track is the perfect carefree, happy tune. Roll on summer, this will defintley make my playlist!

Sugar - Stretch Princess

MAKE A STATEMENT

Totally loving these crazy heels. I need to find the perfect pair for spring.

I'm so in LOVE with this song right now ... or just Mayer Hawthorne in general really *swoon*!

Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement

R.I.P. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

It truly is the loss of a legend.

ACNE LOVE

So I was looking at the Acne A/W 2010 collection the other day ... I love Acne's stuff to death, but I wasn't really feeling it! I think it might be the styling?
I would die for any piece from the S/S collection however, it's all so perfect! Seriously, it needs to stop being so cold outside.
