Primark Tottenham Court Road

So Tottenham Court Road is the home of a new Primark - uh oh for me as it's two minutes from my work. 

A 3 floor megastore with literally everything you could possibly need for under a tenner - this budget fashion doesn't seem to budging. And I'm not complaining!

On the day of opening I was ready and raring to go and got myself this leather pleated skirt for £11 and an amazing statement necklace for £6. 

Chlobo's AW12 collection

Charms, crucifix's and skulls - I've found my PERFECT Autumn Winter accesories!

Chlobo has introduced their new After Dark collection -  Add a hint of dark goth romance to your look with precious Haematite and Pyrite stones.

Me loves!

Prices start from £45.00 - www.chlobo.com

OMGGGG

So I have just stumbled across the Nasty Gal - Yes I'm a little slow off the mark. 

And I think I need every piece in my life.... In 2006, founder Sophia Amoruso started an eBay store selling a highly curated selection of vintage pieces. In just five short years, the shop has grown to become an international style source offering both new and vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories.

Check out the website now to see some inspiring pieces that will update your wardrobe for the impending winter months!

Today I'm lusting for .... River Island

Their new range for Autumn Winter is literally leaving my purse empty.

A beautiful range of embellished ,baroque and Russian inspired pieces. My heart melts....

Primark High Summer

So I must confess, Primark is a big obsession of mine. I can't help it - a full outfit, in fact wardrobe, for £50!

I am the ultimate consumer and fall for the cheap prices.

Here's my faves available in-store now! Now I need to rain to go away for this to be possible!

Sunglasses

I cannot get enough of round sunnies at the moment ala Fearne Cotton. 

Here are my faves from my favourite websites.

 ASOS - £18

Its Vintage Darling! - £21

Littlewoods.com - £20

I ended up purchasing myself these tribal print ones for Lovebox - £8 from H&M! Bargain Bonanza!

H&M

H&M's ranges are always to die for - and this time its no different. 


Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M’s Head of Design states, “Our summer collection’s pretty pastels are just what I want to wear right now,” says Ann-Sofie. “Pleated knee-length skirts, wide waistbands and elaborate embroidery are key, as well as putting looks together in several pastel shades. I also think the sky blue dress is a dream.” With all these pastel shades, Ann-Sofie suggests making a statement with accessories and make-up too. “Accessories are bold,” she says, “like the gold shell earrings, the bright orange and pink ring and my favourite necklace made of transparent stones.”

These Cameo Brooches are right up my street - the skull is my personal fave and they only start from £8!!

Tropical Treat

So this tropical trend seems to have got a little out of hand a la Pixie Lott....

So I decided to pull together a little tropical themed look without the overkill. 

This pair of tropical trousers from Topshop puts you smack bang on trend, teamed with this fun moustache tee from Wildfox. Pop on a bit of denim and some connies (thats Converse!) and you've managed to wear tropical without looking like you're wearing your grandmother's curtains.

Leopard print jeans

So we all crave having legs like Elle - lets not lie! And basically anyone that is able to pull off the latest trend, the leopard print jean. Current / Elliot range of jeans were a massive hit with celebs back in 2011. Seen on the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Isla Fisher, they were in a subtle brown and grey shade - v desirable.

However I have gone against all warnings that you need legs like drainpipes to pull off these wonders.

I picked myself some mint green numbers from Primark yesterday at only £15 a pop! In your face SJP - yes I did just, sort of, insult SJ - but I can't help but be happy with my bargain.

I also eyed up these Urban Outfitters and New Look ones - but still very happy with my minty fresh look. Who needs subtlety eh!

Ankle socks

A trend which is a toughy to pull off if you aren't blessed with the skiniest ankles around and seen most recently on Mulberry's catwalk. Obviously on skinny little legs.

I have tried a few out and decided that the floral numbers on the left are definitely the winners. They are the easiest, and cheapest (all three below were only £1 each from Primark!) way of updating an outfit.

Oh and the shoes are available to buy on Ebay from Dune, love them but I just can't walk in them! - Check out the listing here

Kimono

So my new obsession is fringed kimonos - I've been eyeing up a few on Ebay. But I have just found the perfect vintage inspired number here!

Can you believe its DP's! Only £31.99 too - perfect for me to pull off this boho look which I continually want to channel ...

Jewellery good enough to eat...

So I have a penchant for jewellery and the crazier and out there, the better. Here is my latest find - Punky Allsorts 


A range of crazy pieces created by Madame Allsorts based around food, social media and all sorts it ranges from rings, necklaces and bracelets. 

I'm a big fan of the Easter range which has just been released - A cream egg necklace and bracelet. Super fun and very festive!


Other pieces I love include the gummy bear ring and this bunny ring.

Worn by the likes of Katy Perry and Lady Gaga - obvsies I will totally look like them as I wear them out and about.
