Playing Dress Up

 1..2..3..4..5..6

My top six dresses (well i wanted more but i thought i would start getting abit ridiculous) that will get you a firm nod of approval from those fashion savy's. There all you need out of this seasons dresses, from hawaiian to colour blocking, 70's to polka dots! Plus whoever gets there hands on the 70's citrus gingham mini dress (5) i salute you, a must colour shade for this years autumn/winter trend, thats like killing two shopping trips in one, well not like you would want to do that so lets just say you will be the bees knees!

Scandinavian Bound...

In 8 whole days! Yep i'm off to Sweden to visit Anna, which i'm very excited about especially as she says she will cook me pancakes for breakfast with blueberries. Anna lives in the town of  Linkoping (and if Anna reads this i know its meant to have one of those 'o' with the dots on!), where i will eat sleep and breath Ikea, amazing! We are also walking the pristine streets of stockholm where we will have intelligent coffee chats every 5 seconds, with of course a much deserved gronola bar of course. 

Well in preparation for this wonderful trip ( which i'm actually quite nervous about as i have a fear when travelling on Aeroplanes, what heights i hear you cry, how ordinary but no not due to heights or any 'normal' fear, it's because i've a fear of people with travel sickness... thats all i'm going to say on that one.

Anyway i know it's not winter, well not winter where i am in this current time but for some of you it is so this may be of some interest to you? Last year Scandavian culture style hit us from every ice-angle (god i just can't help myself sometimes) which has rolled on to effect this year. So we can still walk around in our chunky nordic jumpers and still be nodded at with approval, not Uggs though, alright.

I can only think of one word to describe these beautiful wooly creations and that is 'investment' they will take you through every winter you shall ever face, and lets face it can reindeers and snowflakes ever go out of fashion?!

Daisy Dukes!

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8

This summer hit the beach with these interchangable outfits. Using hotpants as your base (we likes short shorts?) You can wear these outfits day or night. Wearing a mans t-shirt for extra baggyness, we all like abit of freedom, and vertically cut up from the hem you have this seasons 'fringed' effect which will look super cool on vintage t-shirts. Wear shirts tied around the waist for a walk through the town, Daisy Duke style. Cool breeze at night no problem, in a biker jacket or knitted poncho (tucked in) for night caps on the beach.

Cowgirl King Of The Rodeo

Last month i treated myself to a black leather fringed bag, thinking this was going to be one of my tossed on the whiltering bag stand of endless leather in the corner of my room jobs, I was gladly mistaken!

You know when you get one of those days where you actually look like 'this seasons spring summer look that you have got down to T' and didn't even realise.. 'what this old maxi skirt cropped jumper combo with additional fringed bag and suede shoes' Didn't even know it was in Vogue! Well i had it the other day, felt pretty good.

Once then realising that Rodeo/Wild Wild West/American Pie was a trend setting and slighlty appealing to ones eye who can only physically put on black look, i thought how fun it would be to dress up in gingham dresses and cowboy boots or you could totally rock a fringed jacket over maxi dresses. Easily a summer must thanks to these guys i'm lusting over anything Wild Wild West especially as i can only think of Will Smith while saying it, 'we going straight to the wild wild west'!
