AUVOIR



A tad bit moody

Denim jacket: Vintage Market, turtle neck jumper: Zara, velvet leggings: Charity shop, mini backpack: Charity shop, boots: vintage market

Ahhhh! I didn't realise how cold it was until i went outside, hence the ''i really don't want to be doing this expression'' above. I wore this on Saturday( I know centuries ago1) to buy a few bits and bobs for a birthday dinner in the evening. Is ought of felt a glimpse of hope when the sun showed its shameless face earlier that weak, that was until i went outside and was thoroughly deceived. I am in love with my velvet leggings, i wear them almost all the time, they go with everything, with a little bit of layering underneath, i am kept me soo warm.
toodles!
Love Ben

Ola people!

I've been lusting after these monsters for aagggees! So i decided to let out all of this excitement through this post. I love the fact that these boots are so tough, its like they've got a voice of their own. They have all the features of a hard rocker, the heavy gold metal, leather and the stomp stomp heels, these are what makes these horrid beauties the whole package. I am especially loving how they look with something flowy and massive tees. This is what i would call the thorough biker.  

ta ta love Ben.

hey dolls!

Just wanted to show of my new babies, aren't they incredible. I have decided to name them Delilah,in my household we have a habit of naming some of our properties. for example my frigdes' name is Catherine, yes we are a bunch of weirdo's lol. i have chosen this name because they are somewhat soulful yet add a lot of impact.  

You guys may have noticed me changing my blog name a few times and deleting some posts, well that was me just me finding my niche and knowing exactly what I'm blogging about, i don't want to end up all over the place. Right now I am happy with the way things are looking, and have decided not to publish a post unless i am 100% happy with it.

ooh and don't mind the little sticker thing still being on Delilah, i fear that if i take it of she won't be new anymore. oh and they are from 'The clock tower market' in Greenwich and only £5 ( i know bargain!), the jumper is vintage via my mama and the beanie is from H&M.

Have a lovely Sunday guys.

Love Ben 

Once upon a time

Hey there!

This post is a mix of my love for Company magazine, (and may i add is freaking amazing, its always there when I'm in dying need of inspiration) and my love for ASOS ( i don't need to tell you how amazing this store is). I was looking through Company and came across this shop its called 'onceuponatimevintage' (hence the post title) and is located on ASOS Marketplace. it specialises in vintage, customised and modern clothing. I am completely and utterly in love with their studded beanies and tie-dye t-shirts and dresses, they're so edgy and cool. I would literally love to own this store, that way i could take everything for free.  I love this shop because it just screams me, especially the black cropped top with typographic print, although the prices are way above my budget, there is still no harm in admiring. Auvoir guys.
Love Ben

Hello new year

2013

2012 has been good to me! for starters I'm still here. That year i went through quite a few transitions. I transitioned from relaxed (permed) to natural, I willingly cut my hair, something i said i would never do. I turned 16! it is sort of a big deal right i mean they make whole shows out of this age. I started sixth form,which is excruciating, but I'm getting through. I went to Paris, which is an immensely beautiful city and have a really good H&M. When i grow old and have travelled the world and had my grand kids, I'm going to buy a nice cosy apartment in France with a balcony in a neighbour full of laughing children playing football every minute of the day and narrow roads and then I'm going to sit on that balcony for the rest of my life.

I'm not gonna lie for a Broke kid like me, Paris did sort of batter my wallet. That reminds me of summer, the best season, there was so much Sun! Then there were those weird random days where the weather won't make up its mind. 

Great thing about the sun is when i woke up today on the first day of 2013 I looked out the window and the sun was shining like it was summer. I sought of felt like 2013 was probably gonna be better. Hopefully. 

it's Christmas time guys so SHARE THE LOVE--the love of fashion

                                                          Hope you guys had a lovely Christmas. this is just a random post i came across this picture and fell in love with its simplicity, sort of appropriate right? Everyone knows that Christmas time is for family, love, Home Alone and all that gooey nonsense. so Here's a bunch of images that I'm loving.



DOPE!

Bye bye T4

It can't be just me that is sulking over the ending of T4 lol, but seriously I can't believe it's ending, this show was made for the hangovers, and even though I'm not a hangover person it was always nice to see my favourite shows. It has also launched so many careers, our IT girl Alexa Chung, Miquita Oliver they were all products of this show. Although I wasn't to keen on the presenting part (not enough patience guys) i still watched it because these people had impeccable style. Here are a few presenters that I'm completely and utterly jealous of..

hello there!

Yes i'm like a week late but i had to put it on here, it was just amazing, this was the first official fashion show i'd been to, it was so cool, so much time and effort had gone into it. The designs were amazing, wish i'd sat closer though, just to feel the full impact and get a closer look at those shirtless models. The stalls were great too and the vibe was incredible, so many different styles and so may cool people, i especially loved the vintage section, it was so original and inspiring. I seriously wanted to buy the whole of the menswear in ASOS Marketplace. ooh and love the taxi (seen above) it was so vintage, i could live in there! I'm definetley going next year!

ps. I might do a post on what i was wearing. Until then.

heeey!

So i was going through pinterest the other day you know looking for inspiration, i mean half of these outfits i probably wouldn't wear half of these outfits they look so cool and effortless and if not plain hot! girrrl crushes! I really do salute a woman who can go out in a tutu, and still holds her head high and proud, that's real style.  Loving the jazzy type quirky shoes, really feeling the 50's look here.oh and ripped jeans, a biker jacket paired with deep lipstick and shades are totally badass.   I had to limit it down to just these though, there were literally too many cool people on there.
