FASHION STATEMENT


Fashion is something that describes our personalities and gives a statement to the world without the use of words. It tells people how we're feeling, what we're representing and what we're doing. Lately my love for fashion has grown tremendously, and putting together outfits and styling them has become almost a personal hobby. I can't say I'm an expert in fashion, but creating statements and playing with pieces is something I really enjoy and feel familiar with.

I often get asked many questions about where I get my clothes from, and the majority of them are from, you guessed it, Topshop. It is quite pricey, but their pieces are always lovely quality, imaginative or simple but satisfying. But other places which I often find gems are Missguided, ASOS and I'm beginning to fall for Ted Baker. Also finding smaller companies with unique pieces is always a bonus.

I also love the way fashion changes with the season. In the summer bright colours and flower headbands were the fashion favourites, and now into autumn/fall 'burgundy's and 'berry's are the trend. But what about the winter and Christmas? What comes next? I look forward to what the season brings with it. I will be doing a winter blogpost soon!

PASTEL COLLECTION


As so many of you seem to like my fashion posts on Instagram, particularly the pastel ones, I thought why not make it into a blogpost so I can talk about them rather than just a basic picture and caption. Even though it's currently Autumn/Fall and nearing the chilly winter months, I am still a big fan of pale shades. All of the clothes shown in the pictures are from Topshop. I am a huge Topshop lover because I love their range of styles and the quality is really satisfying. I love pastels because in my opinion they compliment every skin and hair tone, as well as being really pretty to look at. I apologise for the watermarking, I've had to do this because when I uploaded my first pastel collection photo on Instagram someone had print screened it and soon it was all over We Heart It and Tumblr with no credit whatsoever. In a way I am grateful for people taking such an interest in my photos, but having a photo being posted all over the internet with no credit didn't make me particularly happy. The additional 'pastel' accessories shown are from: phone cases - Amazon, Vans - Schuh, large bow wash bag - Ted Baker, quilted mint shoulder bag - Forever 21 and rose gold watch - Michael Kors. Hopefully I'll be able to do an Autumn/Winter fashion post soon.
