I'm Baaaaaccccckkkk

My sincerest apologies for being away for so long. I had to take some time out to get the creative juices flowing. Now that I'm back I must say that I'm feeling more creative than ever! ( Yay me!)
Now what better way to return than to introduce an amazing statement piece that I'm currently swooning over. It's from Topshop's party collection and it's to die for! This Lasercut Jacket is too fierce and too fabulous! At $210 I need to find a way to justify this purchase so I've made a list of pro's and con's:

Pro: Ummm... Did I mention that it's AMAZING!
Con: It's only available online so it would be a pain to return it

Hmmm... Decision made!

Suede Laser Cut Bolero Jacket

Who's Winning?

Just Female that's who!

Since launching their first collection in 2007 at the Copenhagen Fashion Fair, Just Female have gone from strength to strength achieving national and international success. The brands raw and edgy but yet oh so feminine style, has managed to catch the eye of the Topshop buyers and will be making its debut in the Oxford Circus store very soon!

Here are a few sneaky pics...



More importantly, can we please address the AMAZING peep toe lace up shoes! OWWW!
If you can't wait for Just Female's eminent arrival to Topshop, you can find some temporary relief on ASOS.com where they have some tre` cute Just Female maxi dresses.

Happy Purchasing!

More Apartment stuff!

When thinking of vintage, most will agree that Ikea isn't the first place that springs to mind. However Sweeden's second best export (H&M being first) have created a bed that would complete my vintage bedroom look...

I think a trip to Ikea is in Order!

New Apartment + ♡ of Vintage=

Those that know me will agree that it was only a matter of time before my vintage obsession made it's way into the decor of my home! My love of all things vintage has led me on a mission to find a corset laced mannequin and here are some of the beauty's I found courtesy of corsetlacedmannequins.co.uk



Aren't they AMAZING?!
There are only two downsides to these gorgeous mannequins;
1. The price- they range from £89- £395... Ouch!
2. Only available in the UK- BOO! As I am currently residing in the US!

If you really feel as though you must have a mannequin in your life but don't want to spend too much,  TK Maxx had a few priced around £35 a few years ago so it might be worth having a look to see if they are back in stock.

Happy Rummaging!

I Never Thought I'd be Saying This But...

Cycling shorts are officially cute again! That's right, I said again! However when I say "again" I mean it in a "Saved By the Bell Floral Print" kinda- way!
So how are we wearing this 90's throwback this time around? The keyword here is layers.
Wear under denim shorts or if you're brave enough, on its own with a light sweater or blazer and some killer heels. If you're looking for some inspiration, have a look at Mr Wang's SS10 collection!

Spring's here!
You know what that means... Its officially socially acceptable to not wear tights! Before you do so ladies please make sure the pins are waxed and exfoliated. There is nothing cute about looking like a wilder beast!
Once that's done I cannot think of a better way to re-introduce your legs to the world than via the medium of shorts- AMAZING! Here are a few of my faves. Not ready for bare legs? Its fine,they also look cute with tights! Bring on the summer!
