UNESTABLISH PRESENTS...

Hello all! I just wanted to share a little something with you from the UNESTABLISH website. You may or may not have seen my post a little while ago about UNESTABLISH introducing 'Keepsake - The Label', well now they have just introduced 'Finders Keepers "Future Icons". Here's how they describe their brand:

'The label Finders Keepers is a fresh take on fast fashion, with a signature look that is defined by it’s unique and often quirky prints, on-trend design and lots of colour.
Conceived in 2009, the label set out to fill the niche of creating a line that was affordable yet maintained a young, fun and fashionable edge. From its humble beginnings, the label has fast become a favourite on the fashion scene and is now stocked in over 250 stores across Australia, New Zealand and in UK / Europe.'
 
Here are some of favourtite pieces from the collection:

104. Whisper 'I love you'




Blazer:  New Look
Playsuit:  DIY/Self Made
Boots:  Jeffrey Campbell Lita's

Hey all! This is what I'm wearing today. I finally have a full length outfit photo of the most recent playsuit I made. I put it together with my black blazer to go for a different look, rather than the usual cardigans which I wear, and my Lita boots. Keeping it simple but I think it works just having the two colours.

I have a terrible headache and lots to write tonight for my reflective journal which isn't good, and my essay is due in a week so I appologise now for the lack of blog posts that I will be doing but I will be back on board soon :)

103. If you're in love, show the world.






Blazer:  Primark
Top:  H&M
Shorts:  DIY/Self Made
Boots:  Ebay (JC Lita)

So this is what I wore today. I really wanted to wear my new blazer from Primark but I didn't want the look to come across too formal, as I was wearing it with these shorts, so I decided to wear my Nirvana top with it to keep the look more casual. As you can see I am also wearing my new Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots! And they are suprisingly comfortable! I thought they might be a little difficult to walk in or even stand up in! But they are so comfy and sturdy and light aswell! They are my new favourite boots, and they probably will be from now on to be honest because I have been wanting them for so long! So expect to see a lot more of these beauties because they will literally go with any outfit!

Have you all had a good start to the week? I saw two car accidents on the way to uni this morning so I know that a few people didn't have a good start :/ Anyway, I better crack on with this reflective journal work - wish me luck!


P.S - Don't forget about my blog giveaway here! It finishes in one week so get in there quick!
Follow Silent Sweetheart.

Look what came in the post!!

Hello beauties! I recieved a rather lovely package today. It actually got delivered on Friday but nobody was home to sign for it so I had to wait all weekend until I could pick it up today! But anyway...I bought some Jeffrey Campbell's from ebay and they have arrived!! :D I cannot tell you how happy I am! I was so excited that I didn't even wait to get home to open the package, I opened it in the car and literally screamed with joy!




An outfit post of me wearing them will be up shortly :) I literally haven't taken them off, they are so comfy!

Urban Outfitters Delivery

Hello beautiful bloggers! No outfit post today as it was too dark to photograph when I got home, plus I didn't end up wearing my pearl collar (post below) but I am hoping to this week.

I recived my Urban Outfitters package in the post today! I cannot express how long I have been waiting to find the perfect, large peace sign necklace, and now I finally have one all thanks to Urban Outfitters! I saw it in the Southampton store last week but resisted buying it knowing  could get discount if I ordered it online, so I did! (It's originally £14.00) And just to bulk up the order a bit I bought a book too called 'Vintage Fashion Sourcebook' packed full of key looks from over the years.







Hope you're all having a good day!

Pearl Collar





Ok, so I have been up-doing this collar for about 2 months now (lame and a very long time, I know, but uni work takes up most of my time these days) and I am finally happy with it now that it is complete! It's very simple to make, just cut the collar off of a shirt and sew some pearl beads on, or buttons or sequins, anything you like really!

I have a few more collars lying around that I am going to sew things on so keep a look out in my outfit posts. I am hoping to wear this one to work tomorrow so I'll try to take some photos depending on how light it is outside when I get home. I am also thinking of selling some in the summer when I get my online shop up and running, what do you think?

Flowermania Photoshoot

Hello beauties! I received an email today containing a few of the photo's from the photo shoot I did a few weeks ago, mentioned in this post. I thought I'd share them with you because I love the styling that the girls did, holding some inspiration from Lana Del Ray. I had such a fun time on the shoot considering I've never really modelled for anyone before so I hope you like them!

I have got a link to Karin Lood's tumblr if you click on her name and the photographer's website if you click on his name but I haven't got blogs for the other stylists yet, but if I find them I'll add them in!

I'm not sure whether to put one of the photo's on Loobook or not? I'd really like to but I'm not sure. What do you guys think? Yes to a lookbook post or not?
