Harrod's Revealed

If you have yet to see the sketches by renowned designers for Harrod's Disney Princesses re-imagined, then you are missing out!

But for now, feel free to enjoy these decadent dresses...

I love how each designer's garment contains so much personality yet still stays true to the princess.

 

Have To Have It

I'll be blunt.

I die for metal.

Not the music (my ears can't take that), but the delicious sheen of metal detailing... 

... on the heel of a mayj biker, goat skin boot?

idiee.

Vince Camuto. The Winchell Boot.

(also available in 'molten'/brick red)

Feeling P(r)eppy

Every school year I tell myself, "I will be fashionable everyday!"

Later, "Okay, all-out comfy once or twice a week."

Then, the ultimate, "Did I wear my Nikes yesterday? I'll just throw on this hoodie and some Adidas sweats. Nice."

NO, NOT NICE, GET IT TOGETHER GIRL. 

So far I've been doing well, but I already cannot wait for autumn! As for now, it's been a very preppy time for me. Hopefully I'll post my outfits soon, but here's what I drool over reeeally need.

May I just be a Hilfiger too? PLEASE?

Here We Go Again

I don't think I could apologize enough for really skipping out on my duties here, does sorryxhowevermanysorriesittakes work?

The new school year's approaching with extreme speed and I'm convinced it's war. I really wish I had battle armour as beautiful and chic like those below; it'd definitely help.

Clothes are armour. It's how you fashion it that's crucial.

*No motivation today, I'm really on a time-crunch, but Lord knows I need it! A huge, "healthy" dose next week, pirate promise! (Arrr!)*

Vogue UK Medals

I'm a bit late on the news but...

this golden editorial, very Olympics-oriented I feel, 

is pure,

well,

gold.

p.s. all the dresses are magnifique, but Naomi's is out-of-this-world!

Ooooh how I wish I had this issue!

Nifty&Thrifty

Other than the Salvation Army, the only other thrift store here is Rockstar & Rogers, who actually buy your old stuff.

It was a bit disappointing at first to hear that my sister and I's old clothes sold for store credit... HOWEVERR, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

Authentic Dooney & Bourke shoulder bag. AUTHENTIC, DOONEY & BOURKE. Never, EVER thought this sort of thing could happen to me! The superb condition it's in is a mayj plus to its shape, which I'm just in love with.

Oh and have I mentioned the D&B wallet? THE D&B WALLET? I'm going to have a lot of moolah to stuff this baby, since both items were so cheap/bought with store credit/FREE! 

Wiped down with anti-bacterial wipes and cleaned out thoroughly by moi.

They're my babies, which would explain why I took so many pictures, which would also explain why you just must read on... !
