Dinner and Drinks

I went out to my favourite restaurant in Derby Le Bistrot Pierre with one of my friends from uni who happens to be from Derby, it was a lovely evening and we even had a glass of champagne each, got paid on Friday so what not eh? 

The top and shoes from New Look, I bought them with my last discount because my final shift was on friday, the jeans are from warehouse and the bag is my beautiful Vivienne Westwood that I got for my 18th birthday, its my pride and joy!

The Great Gatsby

Now obviously this is a fashion blog not a film review site, but I recently went to see the massive blockbuster that is the Great Gatsby, having (very ashamedly) not read the book, I went to see the film with a completely open mind. Obviously I have seen the trailers and the completely effortless style that it has was what originally attracted me to it, however that was as far as it went for me, style in it's most extravagant and fabulous form but that was it, no real content just style. I felt like the build up to the finale lasted almost the whole film, which unfortunately meant that the climax was not as brilliant as expected. But the fashion, oh wow it was exactly how I pictured the 1920s and much more, the sparkle of Carey Mulligan's costumes were just fab even the crazy harletish outfits that Isla Fisher was wearing were so representative of the view of poor women at the time and they looked so much fun to wear!

This was my favourite look of the film

A couple more of Carey's best

The whole cast looking fabulous

I absolutely loved this head piece worn by Elizabeth Debicki 

The Cannes Film Festival

Every year the looks from the Cannes film festival never disappoint, and it's mostly the same young and beautiful that always get it right, this year black and white seemed to be the theme. A lot of very glamourous people in very subtle colours, some of the photos by vogue.com are absolutely beautiful.

Lana Del Rey yet again smashes it with this beautiful fishtail dress at the premier of the Great Gatsby, which features her new song "Young and Beautiful" 

Emma Watson is effortless in this monochrome Chanel couture at the premier of The Bling Ring

bye bye platforms

I've been waiting to see how this trend has panned out on the red carpet and at the shows, but it seems to be that the heinously high platforms are no more. I am a little sad about this as I love a good power shoe that you can really strut in but I think elegance is the new power, this has been proven by the sell out pointed mid heels by Louboutin, the classic power heel. Also the beautiful Chanel heels at their Singapore show, these shoes are the epitome of female grace, very similar to the shoes of the 1940's so very glamorous vintage.

What are Hipsters?

So recently me and my friends have been having a discussion, the topic? What is a Hipster? My friend from Manchester had never even heard of it, and me and my friend from Birmingham had different opinions on what a Hipster is... Just now I was reading one of my favourite blogs fashioneditoratlarge one of the girls who run the blog has done a post about girl Hipsters and I completely agree with her! 
It seems to me that to be a Hipster you need to add these items to your life...

A beanie hat, preferably Boy London, a notorious Hipster brand.

Hair dye that resembles the colour of a troll doll.

A lot of denim, a bowler hat and t shirts with triangles on.

A friend who doesn't mind taking posing selfies of you everyday.

Hipster is not a fashion trend, it is a tribe.

ASOS Beachwear

Everyone knows that when you go on holiday looking good on the beach is imperative, the celebrities are all wearing designer swimwear and I know not everyone can afford that (especially us students) so when I think about looking for designer looking swimwear, I always look to ASOS, their swimwear has without a doubt the most varied range of products whether you are looking for something cheap and simple or some designer gear for your hols, I'd definitely recommend looking on ASOS. These are some of my favourite pieces, I am also a big believer in beach accessorising and I always find gold jewellery looks the best. 
All from ASOS:

Thanks Calum for the inspiration when I had blogger block :)
