Purse-McQueen by Alexander McQueen 

So this is what I wore probably at the end of August. It was outfit I put on purely for comfort for a quick trip to the super market to grab some picky bits. I really like the way it turned out-sometimes its the unplanned outfits that work best.

The trousers I have had for years- they are old topshop ones and I love the print on them. And yes, those are my rose gold sandals again. I literally lived in those bad boys all summer. So comfy, and how can you go wrong with rose gold?

Anyway. This is making me feel slightly depressed as I am sat writing here because I miss summer. This inbetweeny weather sucks. 

On a lighter note-Happy Saturday! Until next time.

The weekend is almost here. The weeks are going by so quickly and I can't believe its nearly November already.

I have a busy weekend ahead, starting with work tonight, an early halloween party tomorrow and then visiting family on sunday so I thought that I would leave you with yet more inspiration.

They have been on my desktop for a while now and I figured it is about time I do something with them.

TGI friday! x

Leigh Viner

I guess I am feeling inspired. I am a month into my university course at LCF and getting back into drawing, researching, using a sewing machine more than once a month and generally doing something a little exciting is good.

I came across the work of Leigh Viner just over a year ago, maybe slightly longer. For me, my favourite thing to do is to draw, and drawing people is even better. I think thats why my love of clothes, fashion and shopping along with this has made me want to study fashion design ever since I can rememeber. I have vivid memories of being sat with my cousins at their dining room table designing dresses and drawing my own little stylised characters.

So anyway, besides the rambling, Leigh Viner has a way of capturing something so beautiful. The vivid colours and lines along with the soft shading and shadows makes her work turn from being super graphic into something much more softer. If she ever wanted to do a picture of me I most certainly wouldn't turn it down.

Follow her on instagram @leighviner and check out more of her work there, or alternatively her blog at www.leighviner-blog.com. You may just become as obsessed with her work as I am.

Erin Wasson. What more need I say. She sums up effortless boho chic. Normally I hate tattoos dotted everywhere but for some reason she nails it. I don't think she could do much wrong in my eyes to be honest. I have wanted to copy her peacock feather tattoo forever and so I thought it about time I dedicate a post to her.

It's been a while guys, and I am sorry. First year of uni has begun and so I have been concentrating on that and getting myself a part time job. Fear not, I am back.

Since going to the French Connection 'Sketch to store' event I can't stop thinking about their homeware collection. Although the collection is fairly small, and I'd say slightly too expensive for my poor student budget right now, it captures everything that I want my home to (eventually). Raw, neutral, natural simplistic design.
