Hideously Amazing Christmas Jumpers

Sorry guys, I know I've been a bit rubbish recently, but my uni work has been weighing me down at the minute but I promise I'll be on top of it now.
This week for me it's been all about the Christmas jumpers, with it being the first month in December they have been everywhere! However there is definitely a clear winner in the battle of the sexes on the topic of horrendous but amazing Christmas jumpers! The boys seem to be loving this trend, the amount of groups of men I see with at least one of the lads sporting a festive piece, is crazy! 
So come on ladies! we need to keep up with this one! Get rid of the fashion snobbery and get in the festive spirit!
Here are some fabulous ones that you can choose from- 

£15

This is definitely my favourite one from boohoo.com, they have dedicated a whole section of their website to Christmas jumpers, they are committed to this mini trend and we love it!

£55

Now I know this one is a bit expensive but look how cute it is! Topshop have to go over the top.

£35

Everyone loves pugs! especially ones with sequin antlers! ASOS have got it so right with this adorable statement item.

Now all of you go out and buy a Christmas jumper! Go to Primark some of theirs are so cute! They are expected to sell over 1 million Christmas jumpers this year. 

Top Tartan

Best associated with punk rock, the 70s and Vivienne Westwood, Tartan has been reborn into A/W 2013 with a vengeance, designers have recreated the trend to look more feminine and wearable rather than garish and punk. In the 1970s Westwood and Maclaren were making punk cool, tartan was always associated with her most famous work 

Westwood must have been dancing in her Dr. Martens when she saw how big this trend was going to be. 

It seems on the high street that the cheaper brands are doing tartan the best..

I love this skirt from boohoo.com and guess what ladies its only £8!

Glamorous at Asos have this lovely classy dress for just £28 

If you're looking some more punk rock tartan these patchwork jeans for £75 by Tripp NYC at ASOS are perfect!

Best dressed of paris fashion week

I've had a bit of a break from blogging over the summer but as the new uni year has started it's time to get back on it.
I've been keeping an eye on twitter and instagram looking at all the pictures from fashion week and paris was looking exceptionally fabulous this year

Crazy for Cara

I'm sure most of you have heard by now that the model of the moment Cara Delevingne has decided to retire from modelling. This is very sad news seeing as she is at the peak of her career, however it has been reported that she wants to pursue her passions for music and film. I know everyone remembers when Cara got slammed for jumping on stage with her friend Rita Ora and dirty dancing her way around the stage at the DKNY party in June, attempting to show off her vocal talent. Since then there have been various videos uploaded of her singing and it seems to be the general consensus that she is actually pretty good. She has always been very musical, she can play various instruments but mainly focuses on the guitar and drums.
As for acting she recently showed up in Keira Knightly's latest period drama film, Anna Karenina as the young but beautiful Princess Sorokina. It was a small part but she is hoping that it will her foot in all the right doors and open up her career in acting. 
So it seems like Miss Delevingne has got a lot on her plate for the next few years, but for now let us reminisce over her fabulous modelling career. 

Jewellery Photoshoot

Okay so one of my friends from uni who is also from Derby, is a photographer for a jewellers called CW Sellors (she also does weddings and portraits) and she asked me if i would pose for some photos whilst wearing the jewellery for her. We had a lovely day out in the derbyshire dales taking these photos and the locations were amazing! 

These cross heart pendants are only sold at this specific jewellers cwsellors.com

Snakeskin

One trend that I am absolutely loving this summer is snakeskin, its one of the only animal print that never really looks tacky, unlike leopard print or zebra print. Obviously it's something thats quiet difficult to pull of when it comes to clothing but in my opinion leopard print accessories is where its at! I just made a couple of excellent purchases from H&M (as you often do in there) 

The bag was £7.99 and the shoes were in the sale for just £10! When I last went out I paired this with a Barry M nail polish that you can see, I think the colour is called mushroom and a black t shirt dress from River Island. Plus I love that they are court shoes, so comfy!

My Month in India

So I've been back from India for a few days now. I had an amazing experience and I'd id like to share some of my photos and stories with you lot!
We started with a week in Mumbai, its a crazy place, if you think London is the busiest place you've seen, well imagine that times by about 20 and thats what Mumbai is like. Every street is filled with people, whether they be shop keepers or street sellers, its always bustling. But the thing about Mumbai is that it is a mess. It's a shame to say that it is so dirty and unkept that parts of it actually look like a bomb has hit and no one has bothered to clean up. However it is also the most diverse city in the world when it comes to wealth, you will have a giant modern structure like a shopping centre right next to a row of tin can "houses". Without a doubt one of the craziest living environments you will ever see. 
Rajasthan was very different, a dry sticky heat, full of massive monuments and unbuilt houses in derelict villages. Its a religious place, its difficult to be around because you always have to think about what you're wearing, what you say and where you go. But it is amazing, everyday is an experience and you see some beautiful things! 
We went to a lot of textile manufacturers in Rajasthan, they are wholesalers that provide cheap fabric to lots of other countries and stores in and out of India. We met a man who supplied bed covers to Monsoon, for a buyer in training it was brilliant to see where your clothes are actually made and to meet suppliers that I could be liaising with in the future. I bought a beautiful elephant embroidered wall hanging that was handmade for only £25 when they sell in England for over one hundred. It was so cool!
