Do You Want To Go To The Seaside?

Already been, thanks.

Went to Brighton with the laddies last weekend, i very much enjoyed the bearded men in converse, the 8am beach walk & Seagulls attacking my face.






We stayed at Grapevine Hostel and had lovely full English at 24hr buddies underneath, how convenient!

'I'm Fine'

'Do you know what Fine means?'

Freaked Out 
Insecure
Neurotic
Emotional

'Yeah unfortunately'

Oh the things i learn at work. But how could i forget that quote from The Italian Job!

I't be a sunny day in Stamford today, i'm wearing a dress, with tights of course as i am scarcely translucent. Many a wondering eye for the yellow polka dot dress draping from the mannequin, and the Egyptian bags hanging on there pegs. Today looks set for a good day however i have just wrote that so it won't happen then again i thought of it first, 'and nothing survives being thought of' does it Oscar Wilde!

Tomorrow i set for Blackpool, maybe Brighton or even Bournemouth, i will see if i can get any of those 'arty' pictures of the weekend on here.
Happy Birthday Hannah Ward

Super 7

1. 1970's sheer is oh so in, this is perfect as it covers up but still shows a little pink!
2. Golden tones, (well tell me when golden toned highlights aren't in) now you can show them off even more with that added st tropez tan (ugh). But don't worry pale people like me (albino) instead of all over we can accessorize and still be bang on!
 3. I like 3 it can be used in many ways a dress or a tunic, yes a tunic very in next season didn't you know. Wear over trousers though no jeans please we're doing chic not 90's.
4. Emerald. Well as you may have guessed i couldn't find an 'emerald' so i have used a tone of green. Looks great in either 60's or 40's looking dresses (another  hot trend).









5. Go full on 60's with polar neck knits and pale ghostly tights, a must next season.









 6. Polka dots. This 1970's maxi dress is spot on (ha)! Maxi is still on through the autumn so this ticks both boxes in the fashion world.









 7. Sequins shimmer, evening dress in the making, wear with killer court shoes and snakeskin clutch to get that guy in the office head over heels.








Thats why its my super 7 inspired from this years a/w collections, courtesy of That Indie Look!

Missieur

Boyish tailoring is high on the agenda today, as i look outside and already see the autumn weather coming, i decided that it wouldn't be such a bad thing to start one of autumn/winters top trends right now. With the 70's groove still flowing through to the autumn it's no surprise that the mannish tailoring still has the Annie Hall feel. Not only can 70's inspired unisex tailoring be found, there is also a little touch of 60's high collaring and double breasted jackets. With polka dots, retro golden tones and emerald being the hot prints and colours the choices and looks you can achieve are endless and divine, I've got to say I've always wanted to live in the late 60's early 70's and this autumn i will be able to!

These items are the perfect necessities for the boyish tailoring trend. The key is to mix up more feminism fabrics and textures and play with colour, (golden tones and emerald being the favorites!) and print. These jumpers are perfect, hitting on trend colours and they have the collar to match.
