Trend // Art Attack

For decades, designers and fashion houses have taken inspiration from the art world to create their own wearable pieces of art, with collections filled of intricate detailing, geometric patterns and bold colour palettes; paying homage to the art movements of the time such as Art Deco, Minimalism and Pop Art. Art and fashion have always gone hand in hand and this season the lines between the two have truly being blurred to create a hybrid of stand out, daring garments that, in themselves, are works of art that need to be admired. It was inevitable that artistic themes would pop up in the fashion world once again and this season is the time to take risks with your wardrobe and really express your creativity.

Fashion // ASOS Haul

It's been a while since I did a haul post, though don't be under any illusion that it's because I haven't been making some purchases these past few months! Me and my bank account have recently become victims of the latest mid-season sale on offer at ASOS; In fact I have made 3 separate orders to ASOS since their sale began! Though it isn't as bad as it sounds, I haven't kept everything that I originally ordered and I did reorder some things that I needed a different size for - just to guarantee that I got those items and not rely on the exchange service that would take a few days to process. So see this haul as the final edit of the items I have decided to keep - I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just few on trend pieces to refresh my wardrobe for spring, so I have ended up with a great mix of garments and footwear to suit a range of trends that would easily slot into my current wardrobe and revive it from its' dull and wintery colour scheme.

V Festival Style

Last weekend I went to V Festival for the first time! I haven't really been to a proper festival before, a few years ago I went to Parklife for the day as it was literally in the park a couple of hours from my Uni halls in Manchester, but that's the most experience of a festival I've had! I was especially excited to land tickets for this as me and my friends *finally* got to see our idol Beyonce, earlier this year we had 5 computers on the go trying to apply for tickets for her tour but didn't get anywhere, so the fact we got to see Beyonce amongst many other great acts was very exciting for us!

Outfit Of The Day // 28th July

Hello all! Looks like the traditional British weather is back with a vengeance! Though it is quite nice for a change for it to not be humid and sticky, if only it could be dry as well! These photos were taken at the weekend - luckily when the weather was still holding out. I went on a shopping trip with my mum to Leicester to return a few things and for a general look around - I must admit I had to force myself to put a Reiss skirt that was still £50 in the sale back down. We then went for a late lunch and cocktails at Coast to Coast - an American restaurant and bar. We had never been there before, but the food and drinks were gorgeousssss - a special mention for the red berry cheesecake cocktail, it literally tasted so real!

Outfit Of The Day // 7th July

Hi all! what a day! Not only was it gorgeous weather once again, Andy Murray smashed it and became the first Brit to win at Wimbledon since Fred Perry 77 years ago. So yes, my day consisted of watching the tennis down in my parent's pub as well as raiding Tesco for any BBQ related food so we could have a BBQ feast out in the sun with a few cheeky drinks! I'm so glad I'm in a 9-5 job on my placement as I get to fully enjoy the weekends, when I worked in retail I worked most weekends as well as being in Uni most of the week, so I really appreciate the free time I have now to do whatever I want for the year! I chose this outfit as it was loose fitting and casual, though after a while I did have to take the gilet off as it was just too warm; it seemed to be hotter in my house than outside!
