Sunny Sunday musings...

Hey again, 

Two posts in one day! Aren't you guys lucky!

So I went shopping with my friend Lucy today and well I bought a lot! The sun is out at last and it is also warm which helps! I'm in a skirt and a vest top which combines like a dress! Also my shoes from Primark which hurt before are now comfortable! Double success! 

I will of course take you through what I bought. Basically after my wardrobe tidy I am only buying things I need or at least don't already own one similar! 

So I finally got my letterman style jacket from Republic and it's beautiful just the right colour to suit all seasons!
 

I also went Primark mad. This entailed me getting a new long vest top for the summer, a new straw hat that I couldn't resist, a new pair of pumps, a new swimming costume and a pair of simple navy espadrilles! Phew!

 

 

Also I went into Forever 21 and bought a new locket necklace that has the most beautiful owl on it.

 

I also wanted to show my outfit of the day as it is finally sunny. I will show you my necklace and shoes as you can't see them clearly in the photo.

 

Well I am going to carry on watching the Monaco Formula 1 race while the sun shines! Hope you guys have a lovely weekend!

Luv,

• What is under your bed right now? My mum's artwork and her Black Crowes poster - I can't wait to see them live myself and understand why she likes them. Also some Teen Vogue magazines.
• Who was your first romantic idol? Not sure what this is but if it means whose love life I most wanted then it would be Cinderella again as she got a prince and he loved her for herself.

Creating my own style, one shopping trip at a time!

Hey guys,

So on Monday I went shopping and bought some new stuff that I would like to share with you guys!

So my new style direction is a mash up of rock chic, distressed denim, and Militarian yet I add bits of girly in for good measure and I believe it is quiet unique.

This style direction influenced these purchases, the first being a Cinderella tee from Uniqlo that will break the toughness created by my new grey jeans from Forever 21.

 

 

Also I bought a camouflage jacket that has been embellished on the collar. This is again from Forever 21 and I was attracted to it because it meant I could wear a print I love in another way to just on my jeans that I have been wearing a lot! Also it makes my mum happy by me going out wearing a jacket and keeping warm!

 

Finally, I bought two necklaces also from Forever 21. (Sorry if it seems overkill but it is my favourite shop and the prices are very reasonable so I go there a lot!)

Back to the necklaces, well I do have a lot of jewellery so I have to be regimented about what I buy so I don't double up but with this silver Dream necklace and this cascade of flowers I have managed to buy two statement pieces, the silver one which is best for layering necklaces and the flowers for making a bold sparkly gesture to an outfit - all for just over a tenner!

I will post as much as I can this Easter but I am revising for my AS exams so it's tough to keep up!

Keep in touch, comment/tweet/message me on IFB and I will reply as soon as possible!

Luv as always,

LDN Teenage Fashionista xx♥

I will be forever 21...

Hey guys,

First, I apologise for the long absence from this blog, it is inexcusable but I am hoping you will forgive me. This post is dedicated to my new love, Forever 21.

I have never before walked into a clothes shop and fallen in love, which is surprising considering I have shopped wherever I have gone in the world and yet Stratford City Westfield was all it took. Now for the ones who read this in far off lands, the Forever 21 in Westfield is 3 floors of perfection. If you need an outfit for anything, head there. I think I could of spent a good hour just in the shoes. The jewellery is a quarter of the 3rd floor and sparkles like no tomorrow. The bags and cute accessories could fill baskets on their own. And that's before you get to the main event, the clothes. 3 floors of something for everyone, literally.  I have a random fashion sense and all you have to do is walk through the doors and you will find something for your taste. Every time I have walked through those doors with a newbie they have fallen in love too (often filling a basket or making a wish list) I suppose it's a bit like magic.

While in there I have purchased a few things - 2 hello kitty cardigans (they are so cute and I am a massive fan) and 1 hello kitty jumper - bit OTT - I don't think so ☺ and a robot necklace which was so cute I couldn't not buy it. I will post them when I wear them ♥

I also have to comment on the price of the clothing - as a fashionista on a budget the high-street usual were  good hunting grounds but now I have a new turf - Forever.... The clothes are very reasonable price and better quality than most shops and I am truly charmed.

Well I have spoke their praises enough - I even love the changing rooms!

Luv,
