We'll Fight 'Till Its Over ....

This is the second time in a week that I have let these bad boys slip through my fingers. Both times I blame the Internet at uni digs for being too slow to update my eBay page on the bidding process. At the present time I can't afford to splurge £105 on the union jack Doc Martens, whoever much I want to :( and I am not one of these people that can wait for a while and save the money for then ........ I am too impatient! Okay, okay, I admit that I act solely on impulse most of the time and it has not failed me yet; so my impulse for these babies to be on my feet is a fire that wont be put out anytime soon. I mean just take a look for yourselves:




Part of the classics collection, 8 eyelet 1460 boot, red, white and blue union jack print on the forefoot of the boot......... and I'm in L.O.V.E

These boots are just badass, and I can't believe I didn't win either times on eBay for them, ( as I am not one to back down from a bidding war) I was so close. They will be mine and I will pair them with girly flowery skater dresses for an extra kick :) Damn you! Doc Martens with your mega expensive boots and your unwillingness to be bought from eBay with this slow Internet!!!

I Was Born With A Tattoo On....

I have to admit I have A LOT of jewelry, and my collection just keeps growing! I can never bring myself to throw any of it out (but I sometimes sell it on eBay). So I like to keep it in very messy piles in my room and wait until the day I can either break it up and make something beautiful, or to simply find a new way of wearing it. As I was rummaging through some of my old/unworn jewelry today I found my Pat Butcher style earrings that i have only worn once; so I thought that they could do with some modifications to make them better :)
Here was my inspiration:





So there you have it that was my inspiration, and this is what I had to work with:


Plus some old necklace chain, a pair of pilers and super glue :)

my very own version of a harness bracelet

a necklace

arrow earring
And there you have it three pieces of jewelry from one crappy earring, oh and a pinky ring which hasn't had enough time to dry yet! But a picture will be up of it soon.

Le Kooples

I like to hide my romantic side deep down inside but sometimes I let it come out to play. My cold black heart has fallen head over heels in love with 'The Kooples' ad campaign, I mean who doesn't want to stare longingly at real life couples who are both fashionable and beautiful. Not to mention that they have undenyably cool fashion senses which compliment each other.
Fahrani & Luke                                                                        Adam & Karolina

Case in point, Fahrani & Luke who just seem to be so in love with each other and it also helps that they are both drop dead gorgeous.
The Kooples fashion line was founded by three French brothers who took inspiration from Saville Row, which is notorious for creating bespoke tailoring of suites and other clothing garments.

Corinna & Johnny

Kooples in the French way of pronouncing the English word 'couple', I think this campaign was great. They even had videos of the couples together and they told you how long they had been together. But by far my favourite couple has to be Marisca & Andre and they've been together for a staggering 14 years !!!
Here the video so you can bask in its glorious glow of awesomeness too !!
Enjoy :)


Here is the link to The Kooples website, go check it out you won't be disappointed.

Eternally Wild With The Power......

Wolf Tee - New Look, Black Lace Flares - Handmade, Ankle Boots - Primark, Stud Bracelet - Primark, Ring - H&M

This is what Kate wore yesterday, this look is what I like to call her closet goth, haha. Her more usual flower child look is specifically saved for the summer months and early autumn. She even made those flares with her own fair hand, clever huh?





This ring is from H&M and is massive, in fact I can distinctly remember Kate catching me on the knuckle with said ring and it drew blood !! Shock horror, right ;)

Its Been A Hard Days Night

Dress Primark £5 sale, Black tights Primark, Watch Urban Outfitters, Heels Primark.
Normally dressing smart is not my strong suite, but I think I look rather dapper today, even if I do say so myself. I have 'smart day' at uni for one of my modules on my course and this is me attempting to look smart. I even have a watch on, granted it has a zebra on it but I can't be that serious. I am wearing heels in this photo but I didn't go as far as walking to uni in them because, frankly I'm not crazy !!! I wore ugly little black pumps with a bow on them  but i didn't think they deserved a photo.




The dress has cute little embroidered flowers around the cuffs, the neck line and the splits at the sides of the dress which is quite girly and pretty, which isn't what I usually go for but I love it.
