Sister Jane Jumper

It seems like so long since I have blogged and I have missed it and all my lovley readers so much, I have just been unbelievably busy I can't remember what sitting down for 10 minutes feels like! So what have I been up to since my last post..? Well I have had many exams and controlled assessments, had an amazing Christmas and New Year, celebrated my 16th birthday, done too many online orders from Topshop, been to Prague before Christmas, bought an insanly cool Christmas jumper and been to London so many times that I can't even count! Anyway so in one of my many online orders I bought this jumper from Topshop by Sister Jane and I haven't been able to stop wearing it! I love it and I hope you do too!


Jumper - Sister Jane - Topshop
Jeans - Topshop

What I love most about this jumper is that its so versatile and can be worn with anything, to go out in or in the day! This jumper would look really good with some denim shorts and some trainers for day and then for night it would look really good with either black jeans or leggigns with heals or some black dolly shoes!

Lots of Love

Concert Dress

On Sunday I had such an amazing night as I went to go and see Ed Sheeran! He was absolutly incredible!! Me being me I have the same trouble deciding what to wear to concerts as I do for most places! All of the questions go around in my head; do I dress up? What will everyone else be wearing? So after raiding my wardrobe for a long long time I finally made an outfit!!

London!

I have had the busiest weekend of my life! I finished school for half term on the Thursday and then I stayed at my friend Emma's house as we were going to London the next day! On the Friday, when we got there we went to Madame Tussuads, which was amazing (some of the wax models looked so realistic!) and I had my picture with Usain Bolt, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Dalai Lama and so many more! Then we got the tube and went to our hotel for the night where from our window you could the Olympic Park which was amazing as I wasn't lucky enough to go to the Olympics! After we had put all of our stuff down and had a rest we went to the Westfield shopping centre which was right by our hotel! Then on the Saturday we went to go and see the new James Bond film Skyfall which was amazing! Then after this we went to my dream university, Central Saint Martins, which is where I will be hoping to go in 2 years time! Here are some photos of my visit to London!
All of the clothes I bought you will be seeing very soon as I will be doing outfit posts on them!

Enjoy the photos!

Lots of Love

Chester Races - Ladies Day!



On the 1st September 2012 my dad, step-mum, step-sister, my sister and I went to Ladies Day at Chester Races! It was really good to see all of the horses and bet on the races and of course looking at all of the outfits! Every few minutes I would say to my sister 'oh she looks nice! Everyone looked so glamerous and I was so lucky to be able to go! 
Anyway what did I wear? Well I wore a yellow dress from Topshop, which I bought last year for a wedding that was in Sri Lanka, a black fascinator, which was. The one that I wore for my dads wedding, and some plain black mid heels from New Look which were only £24.99!

In Loving Memory.

Anita Jones, a loving wife, mother, friend and to me a wonderful Nan! Anita or to me Nanny passed away on Thursday 12th July 2012. This post is dedicated to her and her wonderful style.
In these pictures my Nanny is in her early 20's and so the pictures would be taken around 1958. She was a very stylish woman as you will see.
This first picture is my Nan on her honeymoon in London.

Then here she is as a bridesmaid in 1959. I really love her hat that she is wearing in this picture and also her beautiful dress.

Here she is with my Grandad.


This is them on their wedding day. She looks absolutely beautiful!

Her and all of her friends

I think that she looks like a film star in her shades!

She was a wonderful woman and an even better Nan. During her 20's she was one of the most stylish women! 


I hope that you have enjoyed just looking at a few old photos! 


Lots of Love

I'm back!

Ahhh it feels soooo good to be back after such a long time! In the time that I haven't been blogging some major things have happened! An extremely sad loss in my family, my nan sadly passed away 2 weeks ago so my next post is dedicated to her, I have finished school for summer and I have also moved house! As I have moved house I thought that I would show you all my new room! I call it my palace as it is like a palace!

First of all here is my blogging station with some wonderful fashion books by it. We unfortunately won't have any internet for the next 4 weeks as all of the engineers are in London for the Olympics. I will do my best and try and get as many posts as I can up as my Grandad has internet at his house! Good old Grandparents!
Next here is my vintage style dressing table. I got it from a used furniture store near where I live for only £40! If any of you watch Gossip Girl then you may have noticed that the lamps on my dressing table are very similar to the ones that she has in her room, I got very excited when I saw them! I also have a cake stand on there which is great for holding jewellery especially bracelets! I also have two parasols one which is about 40 years old which was my mums which is the brown one and then the pink one is one that I bought last year.
Here is my newest creation my window seat! 










Ahh my Vogues and fashion books, my pride and joy!



Then here is the most AMAZING and my favourite part of my room... my wardrobe! This is only about a quarter of it... 



Well there you have it my new room. Do you see why I call it my palace now?

Lots of Love

A Day in London!

I can't believe that it was the 6th of June last time I did a post! In all the weeks that I haven't been blogging  I have done so much and its been a packed few weeks that I have barely have had time to sit down! Anyway last weekend I had an amazing time in London where I finally went to the Ballgowns exhibition at the V&A (you can expect a post from me on that but unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take any pictures but there were some amazing dresses there!). After we went to the V&A we spent the rest of the day shopping in Oxford Street! It was such a good day and I bought so much that at the end of the day my arms felt like they were going to drop off!
Come back soon as you can expect many more posts from me as I only have a week and a bit left at school so all of my time can be focused on fashion!!! YAYYY

Lots of Love
