Toodle-loo towering heels.

I think I speak for all women when I say that I am so relieved for mid-height heels to be back in fashion. Now we can dance all night long without the sharp pains in our tootsies. Tall girls can wear heels and not feel too tall, short girls can still get the lift they want, perfecto and painless.

Fashion Maths

Red shoes + Red bag
Brown belt + Brown bracelets
Pink- Red
Brown- Black

All these equations are tediously boring. With the freedom of fashion at our fingertips it is definately about time to mix it up. There are all these rules that your bag should match your shoes, your accessories should match, that similar colours shouldn't be mixed, all rubbish. Of course avoid the jumble sale look, but nowadays it is all about colour blocking, clashing colours and layering of tones. Take for example this season's nude pallet, mix it up with beiges, white, greys, browns and metallics. There is something much more exciting and effortless about the 'I just threw this look together after falling out of bed' look, eventhough deep down you know that you have meticously planned it.

Clash patterns together, layer the african prints with last seasons, but readily available, florals.

Be aggressive and ruthless ♥

Summer must haves.

Well things that I so desperately want at my disposal, they have become a must have.

A WHITE BLAZER to wear over pretty summer dresses when the British summer breeze is a bit too much. Also perfect for cross seasons, the monochrome look is always going to be around.

STATEMENT SANDALS in summer I reckon its your feet's turn to talk.

HIP SUNGLASSES accessories that save you time (no eye make up necessary) deserve to be gorgeous!

SIMPLE BEACH COVER-UPS can be teamed with leggings, scarf and hat at other times.

THE PERFECT FIGURE FLATTERING BIKINI

SUMMER TUNES to accompany you on the beach, in the car and in your garden.

Jumpsuit Jargon.

Tried on a jumpsuit yesterday from Henry Hollands new debenhams line, it was black, peg leg and had some lapels at the front. However it has a white ditsy print all over, which I am sure is dead flattering on a 6ft beanpole, but on me I looked like a walking duvet! So first attempt failed, decided to narrow it down to plain (in colour) and peg leg in style, second attempt occuring soon.

Lily.



Going to see Lily and Dizzee tomorrow. This is my favourite song, meant a lot to me at one point.

A Single Man.

Just got back from watching A Single Man, such a stylish movie that I felt underdressed just watching it. Colin Firth, usually a romcom master, thoroughly deserved his BAFTA for his deep portrayal of George Falconer. He captured it perfectly and although the character could be somewhat cold and unnaproachable the audience were warmed to him. Tom Ford created the perfect atmosphere for the audience where they were undecided on whether to relax with George or still have this unbearable anxiety concerning George's plans. Im trying not to give too much away here, so excuse the vague description. The ending (without giving anything away) although sad, was in some way satisfying for the audience knowing that George is at one with himself.
A must see for any Tom Ford fan, like his suits, the film was impeccable, slick and cut to perfection.
