MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Dear fashion friends,

as you have seen i have not gone on my blog for a VERY VERY long time. I have been sooooooooo busy due to my school semester starting here in Canada. It has been a long, wonderful, yet strange experience for myself. I have funnily enough discovered who am I as a person, facing some of my darkest fears. I never thought it could happen, but it apparently did! Christmas is today, so I hope you all got what you wanted this season. whether it being shoes, make-up, happiness, or even an amazing outfit!!! HOWEVER, if you did not get this for Christmas, then boxing day is for YOU! Boxing day is all about SALES, SALES, SALES!! my favourite thing! saving money on the most amazing items, which could be the key staple for your wardrobe!! So I do hope you all have an AMAZING CHRISTMAS and an AMAZING BOXING DAY. As my early new year's resolution and promise to you is to write at least six times per week, on my blog. My laptop sadly died, which is another reason for my lack of blogging.

I most likely WILL be shopping till I drop tomorrow, so i would like to wish you all a
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MERRY BOXING DAY.
Hope to tell you all of my fashion ventures.

Oh How I Love Fred Perry

Hey Guys,

So today me and my sister were just relaxing, when she she told me, "I watched a documentary on the rots of British street style roots. Its sooooo good you have to watch it!"

So instantly I wanted to watch it, even though I knew the history behind it. I can honestly say it was one of the most interesting fashion documentaries i have watched in a while. I know that it was old, but I didn't care, because I enjoyed it thoroughly. It spoke on how style and class would mix into one, and how youth considered "working class" would handle style starting straight from the 1950's, after WW2 (World War 2).


On of my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE past time styles was definitely THE MODS. The fact that they had clean cut style, and that they wanted to look different from the past style of THE TEDDY BOYS & GIRLS, showing that they want to pay attention to detail. The style was also taken from a lot of jazz influenced musicians, which gives a hint of their taste of music.

SO I BET YOUR WONDERING..... WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH FRED PERRY?!

Well historically Fred Perry was a sport line for "upper class" people, which had good fabrics for sweat, which just so happened the mods loved the clothing line. I mean the mods were party animals, so when you are so clean and precise, you still want to look good right? Hence the fact that the history of Fred Perry has changed a bit, intertwining mod/neo mod style with sports wear which is why I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

Now up to date with the brand, they had made a truly amazing clothing line collaboration with the late and truly my music inspiration Amy Whinehouse. The new line for Autumn caused a bit of controversy if they should sit put it up, but decided that it was a great way of honouring her. I couldn't agree more.

My Festival Inspired Look

Hey Guys!,


So I am quite an open person when it comes to fashion, but if there is on look that always comes to my heart is definately festival fashion. From where I come from, it is a big part of the summer...and now that summer is dying down, I thought it would only be fitting to pay a homage to it since we are going towards the fall...

It was such a lovely i thought, why not take some pictures while the sun was setting, which suprisingly gave some signifcance to the end of summer...

-Shorts, Top & Earrings: FOREVER 21  -Jackets & Shoes: Vintage 

-Sunglasses: Topshop

Well bye bye summer....and HELLO AUTUMN/FALL!!!!
