Hello!

So for a while I had the idea to start doing a few styling posts and have been waiting to do them for aaaaages because of school and exams but finally here is the first installment :-)

Yesterday me and my lovely bestie Stacey headed into town to find some street art to feature as the background and we managed to find an amazingly colourful strip away from the busy city centre. It was exactly what I wanted and had visioned to work as the backdrop for the outfit I styled for her; typical grunge street style. I LOVE this look and am so pleased with how the photos turned out, how gorgeous is Stacey?! She wears this outfit so effortlessly and it's such a casual & thrown together outfit, yet has edge with the colour palette and amazing deep purple lipstick by Kate Moss for Rimmel - so wish I could pull it off!
 

Anyway hope you enjoy the photos, we certainly had a laugh taking them!

Hello!

Sorry for not blogging in aaaaages, but it's exam time and all (see 'Quick Ramble'). Anyway here's some photos me & my sister took today, in an exotic new location, haha literally round the corner but it's a change of scenary after all. :-)

Today was a really nice, chilled day, we had a wander round town and had a lovely italian for lunch. I thought I'd feature Katie's OOTD again and make it a proper 'sister' collaborative post, because a) she gets a bit annoyed being behind the camera all the time, and b) yet again she is wearing another outfit I wish I could wear, so it deserved to be part of this post. :-)

As you may already know, I own a hell of a lot of shirts, yet the one I am wore today is the only vintage one out of my collection. My cousin gave it to me from a vintage shop in Brighton; it previously had a large elasticated bottom which I removed to make it into a cropped fit, which I think goes perfectly with my beloved Levi cut offs. I am yet to hem it but at the moment I quite like the slightly freyed edge. To carry on the vintage-ness I added my topshop bag, which I love.

As for the sister's outfit: simple yet cute as always.

I'm really pleased with how these photos have turned out, given that I used the camera on my new phone (HTC One) instead of my trusty Nikon. Which will mean I'll be able to blog more frequently and on the go which is great.

 Also I now have instagram, if anyone would like to follow me, @typicalaquarius :-)

Anyway hope you like the looks,

Katie's Birthday Meal

 

Katie wears:
Shirt - Zara
Skirt - River Island
Shoes - River Island
Earrings - Present from me :-)




Top - Monki
Skirt - DIY
Necklace & Braclet - Topshop

 

Hello!

 

So last night me & my family went out for a lovely italian for my sister's birthday and as well posting my own OOTN, I thought that I'd make Katie's the main feature; I can't believe how chic and grown up she looks, at 12! She puts the style of the 12 year old me to shame that's for sure -.-

Not going to lie, I am insanely jealous of her oufit, mainly because I know I wouldn't be able to pull off what she is wearing like she can, the skinny thing! I absolutley love the floral print shirt, it just screams summer, and the collar less neckline is oh-so-chic. Paired with her simple black skater skirt and perspex top cap shoes - I wouldn't have styled it better myself! I don't care that she has them- I NEED those shoes!

 

As usual, I went for a monochrome look and paired it with gold jewellery.  To wear out, I added my leather jacket, black slipper shoes and my velvet polka dot bag. Sorry for the limited photos of my outfit but as Katie is my resident photographer, I though I'd let her off on her birthday ;-)

 

Hope you like the looks!

Leggings - H&M
Shoes & Bag - Primark
Bracelet - River Island
 

Hello!

 

Just a really quick post on my outfit I wore out for a meal for my dad's birthday today.

I absolutely looove this shirt, which I bought from Monki when I went to London in february. I own a hell of a lot of shirts but I was instantly drawn to the mirrored floral design, which although initially I thought would be hard to style, has become a staple piece in my wardrobe!

I paired it over leggings as I wanted to be comfortable and casual enough for a pub. I accessorized with my velvet polka dot bag and new bracelet which I adore. I love how the leather jacket and bracelet toughen up the floral shirt. :-)

 

Hope you like the look!

Quick Ramble

Hi..

So I haven't posted on here for aaaaaages, but I promise I will be in the next few days, as I have some packages to arrive, which I cannot wait for because it means I can do a proper styling post with them. :-)

Also, it's not because I've been very lazy but everything with school is a bit crazy at the minute what with deadlines and exams coming up, urghh.
I really can't believe I leave school next month; Y11 has gone so fast it's unreal! Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to leave but the thought of going off to college is a bit nerve wracking and right now everyone's realising just how much they'll miss school and everything.
The good news is when I do leave I'll have loads of time throughout summer to make clothes and blog before I start my courses in fashion & clothing and fine art at college. So, although I won't have the chance to blog a lot now and into exam time, expect plenty of posts afterwards!

Just thought I'd post a quick update for anyone who is interested in my blog. :-)

Hope you're having a lovely day
