I've done a punky tomorrow inspired outfit! it is very different to my usual look but i like it!!
I didn't go as far as a loose tie because I'm not really that punky, so i found myself replacing the tie with a scarf instead!!
scarf from bambooshoot, tights and skirt from M&S, nicky clarke hair clip, shoes are mums (ssssshhhhhhh!) , braces are dads (sssshhhhhh!)and the top is from some groovy family friends who live in America.I also did a sketch of the outfit !!
I was going to do a punk rock look inspired by tomorrow's gorgeous new posts but I looked past my I love NY hoodie at my pinstriped dress. I have been meaning to post it up for ages because its one of my favorite pieces of clothing. I bought it from a lovely shop in a shopping centre in covent garden on a trip to london with my homies (mum dad and brother!) where the man who served us had made all the clothes, and there was only one or two of these dresses in the whole world! It was so inspiring and groovy that I had to buy something ,so i did! the shopping centre was just near urban outfitters in covent garden and the shop was called terminal D.
For my look I have used my pinstriped dress, jack wills polo shirt(worn under dress), kimchi blue shirt dress (worn as jacket unbuttoned), fred perry leather high top shoes, nicky clarke hair clip and my new aristoc cable knit tights !!! MY NEW TIGHTS!!

Beginning to love Alexander Wang. i really want his trademark hair- that huge side plait that gets thinner and thinner - though you need long hair to do it:( o well only 18months growing and I'm there!
love that outfit- sailor meets preppy, I've not really done that collaboration yet but just give me time!

I've finally found some time to have a search through my wardrobe for some plaid/checkered outfits. This is what i have come up with. it's inspired by tomorrow and bubble's amazing plaid outfits, but also by the first picture of the load of Vivienne Westwood ones where she uses a tartan jacket with argyle legwarmers.
red boots are Dr martens, plaid shirt and tank vest (worn underneath) from new look, coat from next, socks Christmas present, glasses from dressing up box (!) and headband from freedom at topshop.

Here is my Vivienne Westwood inspired look (using the dress 2 posts down) I have tried to follow the main aspects of the outfit: a huge collar, a below-waist statement colour, and a bed head hair do u! you like??
two white shirts from M&S (with collars folded up), white vest from Ethel Austin to separate the shirts, black skinny jeans from H&M, watering can handbag from Pylones as my below-waist statement.
These are pictures of my entry to tomorrow's brightest bright challenge.(http://inthebedroommirror.blogspot.com/) I chose white because it's the brightest colour! I enjoyed the challenges of an all one colour outfit because you always find you want to add a hint of at least one extra colour to it as a statement, but if you manage to ignore your temptations then the whole outfit becomes a statement!! genius.
random white material, white shirt from M&S,white vest (worn over shirt) from Ethel Austin, dungarees from H&M, and 3/4 length white harem trousers from new look (discontinued) .Hope you liked it and please write me a comment-I need your opinions!
Here is yet another stunning outfit from Vivienne Westwood! I love the bed head hair do and scruffy expression on the model that finishes off the amazing dress. I adore the sort of messed up collar idea and the feature red print that brings the grey alive- its defiantly a well thought on and difficult piece but it looks so effortless on the catwalk. I may try an inspired look from it.

This is Gerald. If you are good friends to him then we allow you to call him by his nickname, Gez. He is a one and a half year old hermanns tortoise and his hobbies include eating, escaping, having a bath, being warmed up under his heat light, climbing, watching friends and generally causing havoc. But we let him off for all of his mischief because he is so damn cute !!

After nosing around and trying on almost everything in town, I now believe that cable sweaters are utterly the way forward. It has a load of looks to it depending on what you dress it with including traditional, old fashioned and preppy (some of my favorite new styles).
As you can see mine is a lovely dark mossy green, which is quite a rare colour but I think It makes it lovely and oldy worldy. It is a statement colour which, according to January's vogue, should be worn with blushed neutrals.
