Taylor Swift, style icon


Taylor may be better known for her ladylike Fifties fashions, but to me, she's never better than when she looks like a walking Free People ad. I think she's maybe the most beautiful girl in the world anyway, but the seventies style looks especially incredible on her. I'm hoping she'll switch up her statement lip for heavy eyes and bronzed skin occasionally in 2015!




Pattie Boyd, is that you?


You know she looked in the mirror on this day and thought, 'I look fabulous'. You know she did.




See what I mean about the eye makeup?




The soundtrack to this post is... California by Joni Mitchell.

Style icon: Georgia May Jagger


She's the daughter of a supermodel and the most stylish man in rock and roll, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Georgia May Jagger has some serious style credentials. Prepare to be overcome with jealousy and an insatiable need to break into her house and steal her clothes.

Mood: Faded Rockstar






Bell bottoms. Devil may care attitudes. Huge hats. Saint Laurent.Velvet. Long, messy peroxide locks. Skinny scarves. Guitars. Fringing on everything. The Rolling Stones. Band tees. Couldn't-care-less snarls. Floppy bangs. Faux fur coats. Vinyl. Shawls. Whiskey. Bell sleeves. Sunglasses. Magic. Groupies. Smokey bars. Layering. Casual sex. Shorts. Leopard print. Black nail polish. Isn't there something so enticing?

*heart eye emoji* I will never stop wishing I had manageable hair so I could cut it into a 1960s bob. Ever. And that my eyes weren't so round so I could do my makeup like Kate's. Sigh.

The soundtrack to this post is 19th Nervous Breakdown - The Rolling Stones

5 Things to Consider Before Enrolling on a Creative Degree


1. You need to really, really love what you're doing. You need to love it so much that you can't imagine doing anything else with your life. It needs to physically pain you not to do it. Why? Because you will not get a job with this degree. You will hone your skills and become a better artist/writer/whatever because of it, but you will not be highly employable.

What's in My Bag: Airport Edition

These are so overdone, aren't they? Always someone showing off their designer handbag, filled with cute but random shit you know they don't normally carry around. Sigh. Yet, here I am with one of my own.

Christmas Week Outfits!

I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas! This is my festive week in outfits. Note: if you're a fan of stylised shoots and magazine-style outfit photos, I'd suggest you don't read on.

 19th December - Afternoon tea at Gluttons


I'm wearing this H&M fringed blouse. I wore black skinnies, these Zara fuchsia ankle boots and a leather jacket with it.

Best of the January Sales 2015

Boxing Day. To those outside the Commonwealth, just another day in the calendar. For those of us who do observe the occasion, it might mean you get to stuff your face at another family feast. But for we avid fashion consumers, Boxing Day means only one thing: let the sales commence.
