the bare minimum

And Rumi Neely does it again - I love this Zara sack dress.

all about alexa

I have ELLE magazine on subscription and I was so excited when I saw who was on the cover this month - Alexa Chung. I think she is amazing, as most girls do. Her style is perfect and she is known as a 'professional style icon.' I wish I had that job. Serious style envy. 

gotta love ebay

I have never really bought things off ebay in the past but have always seen people get such good things for hardly any money so I thought I would jump on that bandwagon. Can't wait for these things to arrive.High waisted shorts £9.99. Gold and silver collar tips £5.99.

Sorry I haven't written a post in so long - it's been a hectic week so far but today it is over. Thank goodness. One of our new modules involved preparing and making our own photo shoot for Spring/Summer 2012. We shot our shoot today and have so many amazing photos. Sadly as they aren't edited and everything yet I can't put them up here but will do as soon as I can.
We were so lucky we were sent sample sizes from Asos to use and some of the clothes were beautiful and after adding some bits from Topshop and some lovely vintage bits that friends had the clothes and outfits looked amazing. Our story was pastels so we had so many amazing colours - baby blues, pinks, mint green - candy colours. We also got some amazing cupcakes to use as props from an independent bakery that were all in pastel shades and they were so delicious too. Our favourite thing had to be though so headpieces that we were so lucky to borrow from 'Her Curious Nature.' Here's the link to their site because their pieces are just beautiful. hercuriousnature.com. (See some of them above.) And below is our lovely model Scarlett who looked amazing in all the clothes.

love, want, need

Love want & in need of this leather jacket by Balenciaga.

yes please mrs beckham

I remember a time when Victoria Beckham was just the one from the Spice Girls that couldn't really sing, that has definatly changed. Obviously she is a very lucky lady, with David Beckham as her husband, beautiful sons and the cutest little girl ever (even if I don't really understand why her middle name is Seven) and the most amazing wardrobe. But I never thought she would be able to create beautiful clothes herself. I was so surprised to she her fall 2011 collection in Elle magazine and I think that her clothes are really good, even if they are very overpriced for me. Spring/Summer 2012 has just as much beautiful Beckham.

you stud

I was looking on LookBook today and came across these loafers which I love, they're by The Quiet Riot. Really like shoes with studs on, actually anything looks good with studs on. Let's get studding. The ones below are by Topshop - was going to get them before but had spent too much money already! May have to get them at the weekend.

weloveTheRow

Of course I'm going to love The Row because it is by the Olsen twins but still even though it is way out of my price range the pieces are amazing. Better start saving.

 THORNBURY SHIRT $675

FLINLY SKIRT $640

TALL DAY LUXE BAG $5,400

 $442

carrot top

Literally. One carrot hat from Moschino Cheap and Chic.



inneedofsunshine

Bring me sun. I am desperate for a holiday which isn't very good considering it's only February and I have a good few months until I get any real time off. But I am looking on TeleText as we speak at cheap holiday deals and getting very excited. Thailand? Marrakech? Yes please.
