Meadham Kirchhoff : Luella hits puberty

Since the absence of Luella, Meadham Kirchhoff have been in the spotlight at London Fashion Week.
They are teen rebellion embroidered in to their parent bought childish clothes.
Luella has obviously hit puberty.
You can see it in the designs...

The colour palettes and colourful hair are so very similar. I loved Luella and her youthful style but I must say, I love Meadham Kirchhoff more.

My love affair with Ed Meadham and Ben Kirchhoff began when I interned at Goodley PR last september. I was surrounded by the A/W 10 collection and fell in love. It is still on my to do list to make a metallic pipe cleaner crown. The Meadham Kirchoff boys know what they want and they are going to get it. Infact Benjamin himself said "I want this and we're going to do it."
Style is all about attitude and my god does this label deliver!

If you are as any bit in love with the duo as I am, yet don't have the budget to buy, well, much atall on my student budget, do not fear!
Start saving, for the boys are collaborating with Topshop again. The new range will be available in selected Topshop stores and online in April.
Here is a sneak peak!

You can also get some good deals on the main label at Browns Labels For Less. 

I have already bought myself the £90 Teddy Print T-shirt. Down from £220, what a bargain! 

ps. My LFW internship got cancelled, but it all worked out in the end, I had to work anyway. September though... here I come! xxxx

Silver Lining

Recently I have been really in to jewelry. Not the fancy stuff, just things you can wear all the time with everything. I took some pictures of the jewelry I have and wear regularly.

Not great quality as I can't get my SLR to connect with my pc at the moment so its digital and was hard to get a decent focus. Once I get that working again...

Anyway, voila!

 

  

 The one on the left I used to wear all the time but being fake from Topshop it started to loose colour so I now wear the middle one, vintage, which belonged to my great grandma, and the silver one which I bought in Eygpt.

  

 My earing tree. My earings are the only things I ever change. I never used to. My jewelry wearing tendencies have really had a role reversal.

  

 My Pandora bracelet: building up the charms :)

  

 I got this Alice in Wonderland style fog watch necklace from Topshop for £20(ish).

I adore it! And it has a working clock and such cute details!

 

Now I really want a nice expensive ring that I can always wear.

I also want a Bex Rox bracelet and a small Tiffany one.

One of the £100 ones. They are cute and not too much.

Not forgetting a hello to my new followers and a thankyou for all my lovely comments!

It is snowing on Oxford St!

Or atleast it is outside John Lewis & Selfridges. Its raining bubbles outside Liberty. Caos!
After you have been ill all week it is not a good idea to go and completely naker yourself in Oxford St in December. Oh my g.
It wasn't even a sucess. Stillgot presents to buy. Bahh Humbug!
Anyway guess whats back? THE OUTFIT POSTS! YAAAAAYYYY!

Dress - Stolen Girlfriends Club @ www.idontlikemondays.us

Shoe Boots - Topshop

I love this dress. I don't care what people have said. I think its like marmite because at school someone thought it looked like a dress the poor girls wear in 'A Little Princess'. I didn't take that as a direct compliment, but people also stop me and ask where its from too so thats nice :)

I like having rare clothing, especially if its not vintage because it feels even more special.

I remember I used to be known as Topshop girl which made me sick, despite that being because at 14 most girls still only dressed in chavy New Look / River Island, and God forbid, Jane Norman *gags* clothing.

I am no longer Topshop girl anymore, but everyone else is.

Ohh and I meant to post this ages ago...

I got it in Barcelona.

That was a cool trip. Gaudi is awesome.

This now is pride and joy on my bedroom wall.

Meoooow!

£££££$$$$£$£$£££££$$$$$

I just bought this dress online (urband renewal @ urban outfitters) in the sale (was £125 now £59.99) so that was a bargain. I have bought it for my school xmas ball, and am soooo desperate for these shoes to go with it...

I might die without these babies but at £150 from Ashish @ Topshop I risk not having them.

They are lovely and I recon if I went to Oxford St to try them on they would be comfy.

I would wear them to death.

Do you think it would be a good investment?

I just think cheap shoes suck because they are never comfortable and always look cheap anyway.

I am a believer in 'you get what you pay for'

ps. sorry I have been a terible blogger lately, no outfit posts & not posting frequently, its just I am mid decorating my room and there is now no progess on that because my mum is in hospital, thats in addition to my million essays and ucas/personal statement that I have been occupied with, so bear with me lovelies.

Tavi Pop

I spent £10 on magazines today. I bough i-D and Pop staring 13 year old Tavi (Williams) Gevison (don't ask me why she changed her name; I don't know). Some people are just so lucky.
I didn't by Nylon because I mean, allow paying £4.50 for about 10 glossy pages of americanised layout. I just wanted it for Megan Fox, but I can live without.

I went shopping today to get some makeup and couldnt find anything I really wanted. It was one of those days when I would have been a very sensible shopper but I didn't buy any clothes. I was looking in Topshop for the blue dress shown in my previous post but couldn't find it, and this was in the Oxford St flagship store. I managed to get 'The Yellow Wallpaper' which I have to read for my english coursework. My teacher told me it was thin but I was expecting around 150 pages not 32 pages. I'm not complaining though, I just don't see how it can be called a novel; Its a short story, just as Homer's 'Oddysey' is not a poem but a novel.

I am off to Barcelona on Monday. I don't know if I will have time to post again between now and then so I am letting you know now. I will be back on Thursday, but will be busy Friday so am unlikey to post for another week. I am going boutiqe shopping in Hitchin with my friend from Stevenage.
I think I am supposed to be at a party right now lol.
Oh well.
Have a happy half term :)

My Topshop picks / News Night & Dick Griffin.

Fifi Lapin Charity Christmas Cards - £4
So its not x-mas yet but it will be here before you know it.

Knee High Boots - £120

Leopard Mask - £4
Perfect for Halloween! Or whenever.

Dress by Illustrated People - £25

Knitted Cube Skirt - £32

Everything has been so hectic lately. I have been deocrating my room so its a mess and all the wallpaper has been stripped. Its not very pretty. I am getting a clothes rails and curtains to go around them for my new wardrobe type thing.

Did anybody in the UK watch News Night yesterday? Nick Griffin makes me sick. This whole thing is ridiculous.
I know he was massacred on television but the publicity he is getting is terrible. If anybody needs to be deported its him.
Anybody got any views on this whole BNP issue?

Here we go round the Mulberry bush, on a lovely spring morning.

The S/S 10 Mulberry collection is just to die for!!!!!!





I already have this bag but its just not enough!


I can not wait until the Luella pictures are put up tommorow. Expect a huge post on it. Punk fluffy dresses and the like; it should be amazing!

I got my London Fashion Weekend tickets today too. I am going on saturday and hope to buy a S/S 08 Luella bag and maybe some clothes depending on the prices. I definately want something batman printed. If I don't have it my life will be over and not worth living. Im sooooooo excited! :D

Oh and I also applied for jobs at Topshop Oxford Street and Urban Outfitters Oxford Street at the weekend. I really hope I get one. Not only do I need one, but they owe me with all the money I spend there. The discounts would be so awesome!
Wish me luck :D!!!!!!!!!! xxxx

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Christopher Kane... AT TOPSHOP!

Horrahhhhh! The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived! The Launch of Christopher Kane at Topshop!






 
It's not all this grim dark and gothic, these are just some of my favourite pieces. For those of you who are of a more positive and colourful nature there are designs in bright pink and yellow, or for those who are just sick of black, there is a little bit of navy blue aswell.
If you don't like eyelets then this probably is not the collection for you.

Im just ecstatic over the fact we can now get the screaming gorilla dress in the form of a dinosaur!
How RAWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRR! :D
The prices have increased from what various magazines said the prices would be, however, it is cheaper than his main line so who am I to complain :)


We love you Christopher! <3

We Love The Cobrasnake.

Necklace - Topshop
Shoes - Clothes Show NEC Birmingham
Belt - H&M
Bag - Topshop
Beaded bracelet - Topshop
Brown tribal bracelet - Africa
Friendship bracelet - Handmade

I actually really didnt wear this anywhere I just stayed at home that day :)
I was meant to have been to Carnaby Street the other day but that has been re-arranged :( on the plus side I have the perfect outfit to wear there :)

I was also meant to be going to Camden today but my friend couldnt go so now im going to Zoe's to wash her new car :D! It has been officially names Squishy.
I suggested Myrtle, Byron, Gertrude, Prudence and Gladys but she didnt want to know.
I really wish I knew somebody with a name like that!
One girl I was speaking to at my Juniour Apprentice interview was called Constance, but that is the closest I have come.

I also now have lookbook which is linked at the side of my page, that link will take you directly to my page. Right now theres not much on it but yeah I have it :) lol. If any of you have it I would love to see your looks so it would be cool if people could post their links.
My lookbook is going to be crap though because im not one of those people who has friends that are all fashion loving so I have no way of taking cool pictures with cool backgrounds.
Oh, how tragic my life is!

Woe is me.

Regression. Reverse. Relapse.

Excuse the terrible photographic quality but I am getting my SLR on Tuesday :D
Dress- Topshop
Jacket - Vintage
Footless Tights - Primark ( I think)
Socks - Topshop
Shoes - New Look

This is what I wore out to coffee in Muswell Hill with Canelly after we had spent the morning on a "run" in the park acting as if it was the 90s again.
No phones, hoodies double knotted around our waists, shiny white trainers, pony tails, baggy t-shirts: pure anti fashion.

Strangely it felt free. It was also really comfortable so I can see why chavs do the whole pyjama suit thing, however, it is not a look I will be modelling often.

Dress - Boutique in Hertforshire

Necklace - Topshop

Bracelet - Links London

This is what I wore to my mums birthday dinner last night. I hadn't worn it for over a year since my last day of year 11. I had brown hair and a full fringe at the time but I think this dress looks better with my blonde wavy hair.

We went to a Turkish restaurant which was nice and cosy and warm with pretty decorations. Naturally I had a long chat about it with my Turkish Bessie Canel y Nell Nel. We have all sorts of random conversations.

Once on MSN she said brb came back after 10 seconds and she had gone to the kitchen and peeled a carrot and come back. AMAZING!

SENI SEVIYORUM CANEL!!! <3

A sailor went to sea sea sea to see what he could see see see.

Top - Topshop
Skirt - Topshop
Shoes - New Look

I got the skirt for £12 yesterday, I had seen and liked it before but for £28??? No way, so I'm vair, vair happy about the discounted price.

I got my belated Elle magazine today. Talk about running late; I used to recieve it around a week early. Despite this it came with the unecessary free gift of a top which I mentioned in another post, however it also came with...
THE RUNWAY EDIT!!!! YAY!
I saw most of it online as the fashion weeks happened, but nevertheless, I still think its awesome.
Lovely Emma Watson graces the cover aswell this month so that is also a lovely touch.
Elle is slowly winning me over again.

I am still stumped as to what to wear for my Juniour Apprentice interview!

“We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.”

GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!!!!
Wildfox is the most amazing shop ever!
It needs to come to the UK as soon as possible.
I mean we let them have Topshop.

ps. I just applied for the Junior Apprentice! Sir Alan here I come!

Together forever, never apart. Maybe in distance but never at heart.. UNIQLO.

Purple top/jumper - Uniqlo
Scarf - Uniqlo
Bag - Topshop

Yesterday I went to Uniqlo for the first time ever. For some reason I had always felt that if I went in there I would feel out of place or unwelcome. I didnt feel as though I was the target audience, but yesterday I rised above my unfair judgements and entered the store. I was pleasantly surprised by the Japanese version of H&M. Classy but affordable. I wanted some comfy, plain clothes to wear to school as my outfits are either to rememberable to wear too often, or simply inappropriate or impractical. I found this wonderful purple jumper which is comfy and soft and fancied the scarf to go with it. Simplicity, in my mind, was a reflection of a boring personality, but I have been swung and now do believe in the philosophy of things being "simple but effective".
Thank you Uniqlo. I will visit again soon.
