KEEPSAKE.





This is kind of a mini outfit post, mainly to show you my new boots. I was seriously lacking in the daytime boot department, but I love these. They're SO comfy & great for Spring. I fear I probably should have gone a size down though... so if you're thinking of nabbing yourself a pair, go a size down for sure.

Shout out to the Asos overzised tee as well. I love me a massive t.shirt.

Fashion Illustration.



So I was going to do an outfit post today, cos I got some banging new boots from Topshop, but I have been a poorly pickle this week. So my outfit at the moment consists of some very bobbly hareem pants, an old t.shirt with possible cranberry juice down it, some fuzzy slippers & the ultimate accessory... a hot water bottle.
Lets be honest, no one wants to see that. So I thought for today I would show you some of my recent illustrations (these were all taken on my phone so please excuse the quality!)
It's something I love doing and would really like to get into as a career, but I have no idea where to start. So for now I am just drawing & painting away whenever I can. The bridal illustation was for the wedding edition of Velvet Magazine. I love anything wedding related, so I am quite in my element with bridal gowns.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my little hobby!

BABY.


Sunnies - AJ Morgan @ Asos
Blazer - Vintage
Jumper - Vintage
Jeans - Topshop 'Lacey'
Boots - Topshop 'Athena'

So as you can see from my new vintage jumper & blazer, i've been out on the old thrift again! I think they were a combined price of a whopping £9!

I have had an unexpected love for baby blue come over me all of a sudden, I find myself filtering my searches on Asos and Topshop to blue... Makes a change from grey though!!  

I live in these jeans a bit at the moment, they're a good Spring time friend. I really want some more boyfriend jeans, but without the rips, which is proving tricky to find belive it or not. So any links & suggestions would be very welcome.

LUSTING ON ANDROGYNY.





So lately it's all about the androgyny. Angelina Jolie was doing it at the Baftas, Kourtney Kardashian at the Oscars & WEWOREWHAT blogger Danielle is constantly doing it to absolute perfection.
 A great way to keep the overall look, but steer away from the super smart monochrome suit, is to swap black trousers for some boyfriend jeans. I think it looks great & is a nice little juxterposition against the tailoring.

Wam bam thank you Mam.

I have two weddings coming up this year, and am really considering wearing a trouser suit to maybe one, (obviously minus the jeans on this occasion), but I just don't know if I am brave enough!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out, despite the Angelina reference, I am team Jen. I love that woman through and through.
