I love the colours of all the above garments, how they appear to be subtle. Though, I can only see two and probably three of these amazing looks actually being worn by a man, and I'm sure you can guess which ones.

I Blame Coco



I feel proud to say I knew about Coco Summer's talent before she appeared in Love magazine, I really like her style; it's laid back, loud and sometimes like an anarchist. This song happens to be the only song I relate to her band, and actually really like!

Black and White

I'm back with more street style looks, this time from the traditional black and white combination. The formal, boring look that can't excite you, unless you wear it like the above people! I have to point out that the first woman's skirt is amazing, part of me thinks those knots really do something to her look. I also have to mention that if you hadn't known or noticed, the second woman is Pete Doherty's formal girlfriend Irina Lazareanu, her look has really evolved into this masculine, tomboy look which I like. I'm also a huge fan of black and white images and couldn't resist posting the above images at the bottom, on the right because of how hilariously sweet they were.

Welcome to my blog, to all my new followers and thank-you for your loyalty to all my old followers. 

A Short Break

Photographer: Vanessa Jackman

I'm off to university to begin my second year, I'm literally exhusted from packing. I've seen a few of my modules online and they seem quite daunting, but hopefully I survive and can continue blogging as soon as possible to you lovely people. I also have to say a huge thank-you to Elizabeth of thrills and frills for her really nice comment/post about my blog, it's moments like that, that make me feel proud of my amatuer blog. I've compiled a short list of what I've been immensely hooked to over the past few weeks:

- Ellie Goulding's cover of Wolves by Bon Iver.
- Karima Francis's cover of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon.
- Gray or Bule by Jaymay.
- The Kite Runner, a great novel by Khaled Hosseini.
- The Alchemist, another great fiction novel by Paulo Coelho.
- The Gilmore Girls, which I can proudly say I'm a part box set owner of.
- My Cos shoes...I still can't believe their mine.
- A really comfortable H&M mens scarf I have, I just love the colour and feel.
- My blog. :)

I recently purchased a cd player, yes they are surprisingly still on the market. I plan to go old school and use it rather than my unreliable iPod, so I've packed a cd case with some of my all time favourite albums that I couldn't/wouldn't be able to function without. It actually feels oddly more better actually using a cd to listen to the music rather than a dowloaded file, as you would do on an iPod. Where is the time going?? I'm off to double check packing.

Flawless

I love everything about this look; the way in which all the colours blend in together perfectly even her patterned scarf, the fact she isn't wearing jeans, the way she holds her bag and more importantly it all perfectly suits her.

This is a really beautiful image, though If you think too deeply about it, you can see a dark element to it or it may just be me.

Romantic Snow



I want it to snow this Christmas. I know it's extremely early to be thinking about Christmas, but I was searching for this lovely song by Jaymay called Gray Or Blue, and came across this fan made video; and being an old romantic I thought it was sweet, and then my thoughts drifted on to Christmas. The youtube clip isn't the best of qualities but still admirable; it's from a film entitled Serendipity, which I haven't seen.
