Oh no I got a fringe! Well. Not really. They're clip in synthetics! I was silly enough to buy the wrong colour though, as you can probably tell in the instagram photo. But I've ordered a new colour!

The Hunter Boots are in this look of the day because I've been wearing them all week. Barely any of the snow has melted and most of it is now ice. I brushed the snow away from the wall because It contrasted way to much with my outfit.

My friend Romy gave me a 'cute blog award', where I am chosen to answer some questions. I've never done one of these before but why not try it out eh?

What was your favorite fashion trend of 2011? Mixed prints and Turbans!
What is your favorite dessert? Strawberries and Cream.
What is your favorite color? Forever and always pink.
What is your middle name? Georgina.
The last song you listened to? Girlfriend In A Coma - The Smiths.
Dogs or Cats? Apart from my dog Max I'd say cats.
Something I haven't told anyone on the blog yet: I go through random obsessions over famous people, I go on gossip sites and see if anything new and interesting has been notified. (I'm not a stalker, I swear!) Right now I'm obsessing over Miley Cyrus because of her Style and Cillian Murphy because his a great actor and has beautiful cheekbones and eyes!
The blogs that I award are: Anyone who read this, tell me in a comment if you want an 'award'. I like to read answers from other people!

OH sNOw.

Oh my oh my.

The snow has finally arrived! However, today I realised that my teacher would be unhappy if he knew that I didn't take any photographs of the snow. Ugh, I hate cliche snapshots! I ended up hanging my bird cage on a branch and decided to take photographs in strange positions to seem like I actually enjoyed taking them.

These photos above are just some random shots I took while on my adventure. It's really sad to see the flowers alive in the winter, that means they won't bud in the spring.

Sorry I haven't posted a decent outfit lookbook in ages. I'd rather lay on my bed in a pair of yoga pants with my crochet blanket and watch A Single Man several times a day.... My life in a nutshell.

However, I haven't posted any photographs from my 'identity' project. So next week I shall pop some on here for you too see.

Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2012.

2012-02-02T13:49:00.000-08:00

I am blown away with the amount of sheer floral maxi dresses, WITH SLEEVES! I'm a sucker for dresses with long sleeves. I am downright impressed with this collection. I feel that the designs are very plain and simple but the fabric and pattern manage to create that sophisticated look, and it has worked very well.

My eyes could not lay off the lace loafer slipper that appeared, they are so beautiful and I adore that the lace fabric has been placed of the heel of the slipper too. My last love and dedication to this collection was the simple loose pony tail with thin ribbon that held it together.

This couture collection was so gorgeous. I adored the sequins, pixie dust colours, and floor-sweeping elegance. Saab consistently sends luxurious fairytales down the runway, each and every collection just as dreamy and delicate as the last, and that’s his aesthetic. Everything was absolutely perfect! I didn't find myself viewing the detail on each ruffle of each dress, I kept glancing at the simple pulled back ponytail that wrapped around at the top. I felt that the ice shadows and lip glosses really complimented the tones and shades used in each outfit piece.

Elie Saab remains true to his vision.

I own two real fur coats both inherited from my grandmother and great grandmother. I wouldn't dream of buying a new piece of fur. But I've always wanted a faux fur coat, I found this one on sale online and I had to have it! I'm in love with light tones and pastel shades, It will be a real hit this spring/summer. I just hope the weather will decide to either snow or get warmer!
Oh and please excuse my poor editing in my lookbook photograph. I'm to lazy to go other the lines and connections.

"Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity."

After John Galliano left, Gaytten’s haute couture collection was a sigh of relief. The collection was ethereal and oozingly feminine. The collection was definitely a clean slate, the outfits were so simple, but they had such an incredible detail that makes each piece a statement. I adored the crystal embroideries and beading around the hems and the sheers fabrics the showed the entire process of each outfit; all the layers and underpinnings becoming exposed. Of course the tulle train gowns were a masterpiece, they were definitely the best ending to a show.

Colors: Smokey Purples, Charred Blacks, True Whites, Matte Silvers

Fabrics: Organza, Chiffon, Tulle

Detailing: Light Beading, Embroidery

Photography post below this one! Photos from my Fujica. >:)

I've had bleached tips for a while now, and I'm getting a little bored of blonde. I'd like to cut it off but I adore having long hair! I want to grow it about another 4 inches. Anyway, I've had some 'Rose Red' hair dye in my cupboard and decided to give it a try. I thought It would come out like a sort of red wine colour. But It looks more purple to me.

It's nice, but I think it'll look prettier when it fades!

Pink Mustachio!

Jumper: Topshop / Blouse: Pins and Needles / Skirt: Topshop / Watch: Urban Outfitters

If you could dye your hair any colour with no regrets, what would you do? I would go half candy floss pink and half silver! Silver hair looks so gorgeous ever since it was on the Chanel catwalks!

B/W Film : Old and New.

2012-01-20T14:44:00.000-08:00

I just finished one of my college projects called 'Old and New.' I went around my old neigbour hood to photograph some old wrecked abandoned houses. I haven't used my Fujica in a while, I've been using my point and shoot Holga way to much. So I was slightly lacking skills in checking the light meter and focusing correctly. However, I managed to have a good few final outcomes. I was even involved with process the film roll at my mums friends house who helped me develop it. The last three I printed out largely and mounted them as my final pieces.

Please do not take anything of mine on this blog without permission.

Whats your favourite camera to use? Do you prefer film or digital?

As much as I'm a point and shoot digital addict, I much prefer film, your much more focused on the subject, trying to take focus and composition of the shot. I wish to practice more and experiment with it.

Lindsey Wixson & Frida Gustavsson for Mulberry Spring 2012 by Tim Walker.

2012-01-11T12:50:00.000-08:00

Tim Walker, my hero, my main inspiration. You have managed to out blown us all once again with your second season working with Mulberry. I adore this set up on brighton beach, I love the oversized melted ice creams and stick of rocks. Lindsey Wixson is one of my favourite models. Not even to mention the outfits, the colours remind me of minty green, pastel pink and lemon sorbet ice creams. Especially in one of the portrait shots of Frida Gustavsson who wears a blocked stripe maxi dress, it reminds me of those tropical rainbow ice lollies. My favourite obsession is platform shoes, these thick soled mary janes are beautiful!

This is my favourite photoshoot by far, thank you Tim Walker for inspiring me.

Summer Identity Project.

2011-12-18T05:10:00.000-08:00

So in the summer, my college gave all the art students a project to achieve over the holidays.
The project was inspired my Joseph Cornell, he created small boxes filled with objects that represents yourself.

Joseph Cornell, The Hotel Eden, 1945.

After browsing through Cornells website, I didn't want to create just a box and fill it with objects, Its not who I am. I wanted the box to be exactly how I would intemperate.

(It's a bit bashed about and the paint has begun to peel.)
So I started out with a Converse shoe box and layered on a few coats of matte white paint. I picked white as I tend to start out with this colour when working with any project. White is clean and simple, it's an easy starting point.
Next I painted a couple of roses on the front, I also cut some out and stuck them on.
Roses are my favourite, I love the colour and the smell of them.

Inside I stuck some vintage french wallpaper that was given to me. I love the minty green and the white leaves, it's so pretty!
I added a rail on the inside of the box.

I then got my old pink barbie hangers and cut out some tee shirt shapes on flimsy plastic. I sewed the tee shirts together and placed photographs of my favourite objects inside. I then hung them up so it looked like a little wardrobe.

(All these photographs were taken by me apart from the Cindy Sherman photo.)
From left to right on each row: Fujica film camera / Vintage rose tea cups / Arcade Fire album / Cindy Sherman / Rose / Sewing spools / Glasses / Drawing pens / Fashion books / Jewellery / Print screen of my blog

(All these photographs were taken by me apart from the photograph of Tim Walker and Alexander Lee Mcqueen.)
From left to right on each row: Film roll / Strawberries / A Single Man film / Tim Walker / Pink bird / Sewing machine / Phone and headphones / Alexander Lee Mcqueen / Lula magazine / Hair accessories / Macbook keyboard

My project was completely different to everyone elses, but it sums me up pretty well as I've collaborated fashion and photography, followed by my favourite things in the tee shirts!

Whats your favourite things?

Black on burgundy.

2011-11-25T08:42:00.000-08:00

Trousers: Just Female / Cashmere beret: Hennes and Mauritz / Bag: Topshop /

Now I guess you can say that my outfit is a little silly and boring. I didn't want to add a cardigan or jacket because I don't have any nice ones that go.
But I'm in love with burgundy at the moment, these high waisted trousers are my favourite! I haven't worn a pair of jeanes in years, I see denim jeans everywhere! But these I must say, have to be an exception but they're gorgeous!

I've been so busy with college it's unbelievable, I have so many DIY projects I'm in process of making, I want to finish them and show you all.
I keep having to cancel plans with my friends because photography work keeps catching up with me, its not easy! But It's my passion, I love it.

I DIYed these badges and made them into rings!
They were so easy to make, I was planning on making a tutorial but this wasn't my idea. I got the idea from Studs and Pearls. Here's the link to her tutorial I used.
DIY: Nail Polish Cluster Ring.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Today A packaged arrived from my favourite person in the world, Audrey Kitching.

A few weeks ago she wanted a magazine called ILOVEFAKE, it was only in certain stores in england.
After my long hunt, I finally found it and sent it over to her followed with a crochet brooch my mama made and a drawing I drew with a fan girly note on it. Tehehe!

Anyway, for thanking me she sent me a tee-shirt from one of her lines, Coco De Coeur! I'm love with it! She also sent me some other goodies too!

Coco De Coeur oversized tee and a Hollywood tee that fits me perfectly! :D

Stripey bow tie, Skull sunglasses, Cross Ring.
I love these! Those sunglasses are amazing. I can't wait to wear the bow tie with my pins and needles blouse.
Unfortunately the ring is to big for me. But it fits my mama and she is now a proud owner of it!
I love the cat card too, I'm going to frame it up and add it to my little assortment of vintage frames.

Afterwards I decided to wear the oversized tee and post a look for my lookbook!
My hair tips are lavender! Although they've faded and turned pinky/blonde.

Tee - Coco De Coeur / Tights - Topshop / Boots - All saints / Rings - China Town.

I am one happy girly and very grateful!!

Christmas wishlist 2011.

2011-11-01T12:31:00.000-07:00

Last year I posted a blog about items I wanted to receive for christmas.
It turns out that post is one of the most popular posts of all time on my blog. I guess many people liked it.
So why not do another one?

First things first before I begin to drool over my wishlist. I definitely know that I will not be receive all these items, I do not live in a manor and have a wardrobe the size of a swimming pool. I wish! :3

1. YSL Oval Arty Ring.

I almost asked for this last christmas, but I thought I'd never wear it. I truely regret not getting it because instead my dad bought me and xbox. -_- Which I luckily took back but never recieved an exchange gift. I bought a two pound version of this ring on ebay and I love it! I wear it everyday! But it's turned bronze because it's fake.
This ring is so unique and will never date! I could wear it everything as it's such a crazy piece!

2. Pink Miu Miu Silk Swallow Platforms.

You can't go wrong with a pair of Miu Mius! Although these are last collection I found a website that still sells pair. These are on the top of my list! So gorgeous it's unreal!

3. Urban Outfitters Vintage style watch.

I currently have this adorable leather strap watch with roses on the clock from urban outfitters. But the glass is chipped and scratched, the leather is ripped and fading.
However this watch above is adorable, It has a deer inside it!

4. Topshop Floral Dressing Gown.

It's going to be a cold winter and what more could you need from a dressing gown? It looks so fluffy and cosy!

5. Smokey Clover Acne Tea.
I have no photograph for this wish. And It's not very appealing. But I heard this tea is great for girls with bad skin. I'm definitely asking for a box of this! (Plus I love tea. :3 )

6. Domain Name.
I hate my blog url 'Libbiekitty'. It reminds me to much of the past, someone who I am not anymore. However, all the name for a blog I would like I can not get. I think a Domain Name would be the best. :3

What do you wish for christmas?

The Last Resort.

2011-10-16T04:41:00.000-07:00

It's been a hectic past month.
I never got round to posting my favourites from Paris Fashion Week. But as always, I'm blown anyway by Chanel S/S 2012. But how could Chanel not blow me away? I'd do anything to be a Chanel girl.

It's been 6 weeks since I've started college and I get a week off soon. I can't wait as our whole class has fell behind instantly. It's difficult to understand what prepare ourselves for if we're not known what to do.
Hopefully I'll get on top of it all and finish it by the end of next week. I shall post my final photographs.
Also I plan on posting my summer project I made for college. Which went to a total waste as I never used it, so I'll share it here.
Anyway, Martin Parr has been referred to a lot in my photography prep book, So I thought I'd post some of my favourite photographs by him.

Milan Fashion Week: Dolce And Gabbana S/S 2012

2011-10-04T11:55:00.000-07:00

I can not underestimate how much I love Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana right now.
This is definitely my favourite collection that walked the runways of Milan Fashion Week.
Vintage fabrics, plastic food earrings, Jeweled corsets, Glitter Bodices, Pasta pieces, Wicker bags. The list goes on!

Here Is some photographs of my favourites pieces of back stage with Vogue!!

London Fashion Week : Meadham Kirchhoff and Ashish.

2011-09-23T13:26:00.000-07:00

It's so upsetting to know London Fashion Week is so close to where I live and that I didn't see anything going on throughout the week.
Either way I'm happy to be snuggled up in a pair of CyberJammies while watching each runway show online.
There were so many breathe taking collections.
Anyway, Here are my favourite highlights of LFW.

Ashish S/S 2012.
Sweet sugars. I cannot explain my love for this collection. From sunflower prints to flowers woven into boot laces.
There is not one thing I can deny about this collection.
I especially adore the long slim white powder dress with the pixellated roses printed on layered with sequins. The low cut at the back makes the dress possible my favourite piece of clothing ever, perhaps because I love floral patterns too. I can only dream to own a dress like that though. *drools.*

Erdem S/S 2012.
First things first, as soon as I saw a one piece swimsuit instantly I knew that this collection would hit the top of my list. I adore one piece swimsuits so much, I personally think they are such a classic piece. You can wear them to the beach or add a flowy knee cut skirt and wear it on a day out.
Next the clear thick rimmed sunglasses with an added lace / doily pattern. Oh my, I'm in love. Those sunglasses are so big and flamboyant. They match perfectly with a red lip stainer.
Lastly, aside from all the floral fabrics I could talk about for hours, the wrist length gloves really caught my eye. They remind me of my nanny. I have some of her embroidered cloths she used to sew, and those selection of gloves reminded me of them. I think I may have to make a DIY pair of those in the upcoming spring.

Meadham Kirchhoff S/S 2012.
I feel like Betsy Johnson and Vivienne Westwood have collaborated and secretly took over this collection.
I feel like words cannot explain how extraordinary and fantastique I felt once seeing these photographs taken by my favourite photographer, Saga Sig.
The pastel coloured hair reminds me of cotton candy, it looks so delicious.
I love the way they've put silk night dresses and colourful fur coats together, the clash together perfectly.
I feel like this is was just an experiment by throwing everything from the corner together and its turned into a masterpiece. I'm speechless. It's just too beautiful.

I've seen so many amazing collections.
By far my favourite I've ever seen in my sixteen years.
I'm looking forward to watching Fashion week in Milan next and then Paris!

Photos used from all over the internet. From Vogue and Saga Sig.

Jason Wu Spring/Summer 2012.

2011-09-18T10:34:00.000-07:00

I'm officially obsessed with bobby pinned feathers and bright red lipstick!

My favourites from New York Fashion Week.

2011-09-17T11:34:00.000-07:00

Wow, NYFW went so fast. It's already over, and London fashion week has already begun!!
I've watched so many live streams of each runway shows. It was rather tricky to pick out a few to blog about. I want to blog about them all!!

Jill Stuart RTW S/S 2012
I love these light and silky textures used on the fabrics. The colours just scream bubblegum icecream! I adore these pastel colours, the make each outfit look super fun and graceful!

Marc Jacobs S/S 2012
This whole collection reminds me of 1920's fashion. Perhaps it's the low waisted skirts and the fringed dresses.
Each outfit looks so classic yet with a modern twist with the metallic shiny fabric thats been used.

Rodarte S/S 2012
These summer frocks and suits are so beautiful and elegant.
Each colour reminds me of a different scenery, a field of sun flowers blooming, sea foam on the shore, fiery sunsets and night skies.

Jason Wu S/S 2012
I'm so blown away with Wu's collection. My number one collection so far!
I find the pieces so sophisticated with simple their patterns and details.
I loved the pieces of feather bobby pinned to the back of each models hair.
And of course, when I saw the finale skirt that floated down the runway, I was speechless.

The layers and colour remind me of pink roses!
I'll post a seperate blog containing more photographs from Jason Wu!

Giraffe treats.

2011-09-14T08:28:00.000-07:00

(NYFW blog will be up this weekend, stay tuned.)

This isn't a fashion related post today. But I deleted all my 'photography' posts a while ago and never got round to adding some new stuff.
So heres a couple of photographs I took in Giraffe in Spitafields.

Sorry I was to lazy to edit them so there a little dull and dark.
Edamame beans are so delicious!

P.S. I added a new photo to Lookbook! Hope you likey!

Happy birthday Karl Lagerfeld!

Today, Lagerfeld turned 78. Yet he still looks remarkable with his tied back hair and black shades.
Lagerfeld is to much of an inspiration to describe in the simplest of words.

DIY: How to Shred a shirt and Look.

2011-09-06T04:22:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I found Miley Cyrus wearing a shredded tee-shirt.
Ever since then I've wanted one in my wardrobe!
So I shall show you how I made one without spending a fortune!

You Will Need :
- A tee shirt. (I bought mine for 5 pounds from H&M)
- A pair of scissors.
- A thread picker. (or fingers)

So firstly, lay out your tee and cut off the hem of the shirt with your scissors.
I cut the whole of my hem, though instead you can just cut off the part you want to shred.

Secondly, you want to pick up your picker/fingers and start pulling on the bottom of the shirt. The fabric should unravel and start to loosen.
Un pick about a centimetres worth of fabric.
Don't worry if the fabric strands break, the first few are likely to do so!
Make sure you un pick the fabric as wide as you want the shredded block.

Next, place your hands at the top and end of the 'shredded' part of the fabric and start pulling. The shredded bit should expand. Continue to do this until you are happy with the length of the shred.
TIP: To make it easier for the fabric to unravel, stretch the fabric side ways to pull out the stretchiness of the fabric.

I ended up shredding half a block of my tee. As you can see I done it in several lines. I accidently made holes while pulling, but it gave a more deconstructed look.
I paired the tee shirt with a bandeau bra and some high waisted gingham shorts.

Panda nails! DIY ring.

I apologise but I found it hard to describe this tutorial. I used this video online as a guideline if you would like information! click HERE to view the video.

Fall/Winter 2011 Highlights.

2011-08-27T08:14:00.000-07:00

I've been catching up online with each Fall/Winter 2011 Runway shows.
I'm blown away this year. A few pieces have really caught my eye.

Jason Wu has selected Ruby Red in numerous outfits this season.
Whether the colour has been used for a bag to a jacket.
I adore this Ruby Red gown, it's so simple yet so sophisticated the way it flows and the gold waist line finishes the gown perfectly.

Dolce And Gabbana have created a 'Girl vs Boy' look by using detailed tailored suits. I find the outfits look so smart and well formed yet slightly rebellious.
Though, I always think that when a girl is seen wearing something a man is more likely to wear.

I'm amazed at Sarah Burtons second collection for Alexander Lee Mcqueen. Large white pieces have caught my eye this season.
As this dress is bright and bold. It reminds me of winter.
There is so much detail on this dress is definitely completes the shape.
Adding a pair platforms helps too!

I'm getting ready for fall!! I'm so excited to wrap up with countless layers and faux fur scarfs.

Saga Sig ~ Inspiration.

2011-08-20T05:05:00.000-07:00

Recently, I've come across Photographer I adore named Saga Sig.
I first found his work which was used to the Topshop Spring/Summer '11 Collection.
I then found his work again which was used in I♥FAKE magazine.
Here Are a few photos from the magazine which I was inspired by.
Also check out the rest of his work at -
http://www.sagasig.com/

I adore everything that has been captured in each photograph.
The tie dye background drop, the stuffed cartoon animals, the multi colour hair and not to mention the outfits!
I love the misleading textures and colours that have been made into one combination.

Back to drawing.

2011-08-20T04:39:00.000-07:00

It's been a few months since I've got my pencils out.
The last time I done a piece of work was for my finals for Art.
I've sort of lost touch with my paint brushes and pencils.

Drawing people and faces is my weakest point.
But after browsing through a book I recieved full of simple face and body shapes, I gave it ago.
The scanner didn't help the drawing. I prefer how it looks in my hand.
But I used watercolour paper so I could add some colour. But the paper was a bit rough.

Anyway, I'm going to make it into a card and send it off.

Her lips look slightly ridiculous. Oh damn!
And the colours are a lot darker shown here.
I think I shall be posting some more drawings on here soon.

DIY: Create your own Crystal Rings.

Crystalised rings.
Oh how I would love to have a whole collection of different shapes, colours, textures.... The list goes on.
Though, I've discovered these rings aren't cheap. Well, maybe cheap in some cases but a little bit of a rip off in my concern.
So I'll be showing you how to make your own, without spending a fortune!

You will need :
- A Crystal/Rock.
- 30 cm of craft wire. (depending on the size of your crystal/rock.)
- A pair of pliers.
- A ring sizer.

Firstly, lay out your craft wire and place your crystal/rock in the centre of the line.
Start to wrap each side of the wire around the crystal/rock until the wire is secure and tight.

Secondly, this is where your ring sizer will come in.
Although I do not own one, so I found a pen lid which was the same size as my finger. If don't own a ring sizer and you find anything that is an estimate size of your finger then use it!
Place the ring sizer behind the ring and tightly wrap around each piece of wire until its thick enough.
Then cut the wire a few cm's away from the ring sizer with your pliers.

With the rest of the wire, wrap it around the ring so it will stay in shape.

Then Voila!
A gorgeous ring that cost me no more than £2 !

Thankyou for reading.
Good luck if you try to make one!

Dip Dye hair.

2011-08-11T10:07:00.000-07:00

After months of waiting I finally got pink dip dye hair. My original intention was to have baby pink dip dye but that means I would of have to have bleached my hair. no thanks. So instead I used a 'flamingo pink'. (Sorry for the phone photo.)

Meadham Kirchhoff's Spring 2011 collection was full of colourful hair, I think that was what started me off.

These are the photographs I found on various sites that made me want to do it!

I think once the pinks faded I might try pink and purple layered on top of each other.

❝A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be. ❞

- This is probably my favourite quote from my favourite film. It's to relevant in my life.

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes.

2011-08-04T03:04:00.000-07:00

Today I'm wearing:
Lace and Sequin Topshop Dress, Bershka Platforms, Vintage Belt, Urban Outfitters watch.

This song has been stuck in my head all week.

Speaking in Tongues.

2011-07-30T14:02:00.000-07:00

This month I've been on holiday.
Firstly I went to spain to Sunbathe and Swim.
I brought a crochet dress, rosary beads and a laptop bag.

My slightly tanned legs on the beach.

Then I went to France to visit some lovely friends.
Considering we already had our Sunbathing holiday, In France we visited some cultural areas.
I brought 3 vintage rose tea cups, A pair of vintage earrings, A vintage dress and two packets of BN biscuits!

^ ^ My Vintage dress and Earrings I thrifted.

I have lots of DIY tutorials to be creating and posting on here. Stay tuned.

Also, Speaking in Tongues is one of my current favourite songs. It's even better when I heard it live.

Balenciaga Cut Out Boots.

2011-07-15T10:25:00.000-07:00

Balenciaga Spring 2011 RTW Cut Out Boots.
These are my absolute favourite shoes in the world!
Such a shame they're 1275 dollars, otherwise I would have brought them in an instant!

I noticed that Mary Kate Olsen has been sporting them.

They also are available in different colours and skins!

I prefer black best! They're so amazing! I love the studded soles! ♥

Create your own : Feather earrings.

2011-06-01T10:15:00.000-07:00

Recently, popping up online, in shops and in peoples wardrobes are feather earrings or feather hair braids.
I adore this new trend that has appeared. But I do not adore the cost! I guess it's a new excuse to charge people ten - twenty pounds on some feathers.
Since I have all the supplies, I decided to create my own pair.

You will need :
- 6 or more feathers. (depending on how many you want.)
- A pair of hook earrings.
- Pliers.
- Fishing wire.
- A needle.
- Wire.
- A couple of beads.

Firstly, I gathered the feathers and arranged them in order. I decided to have four feathers on each ear, you can add as many as you want. But I say three is a minimum!

Secondly, I used some clear fishing wire. This can be brought from a supplies shop, it's very cheap and strong. I cut about 20 cm of and placed it through the needle. I carefully threaded the needle through the feathers. I continued to thread the wire through all of the feathers and then threaded a couple of beads considering it adds more colour to the earrings!

After I put all the beads on, I made a loop and tied a knot on the wire three times so it would be secure.
On the back of the earrings, there should be a small hook. I placed the loop on the hook, I then used some pliers to close the hook so the feathers couldn't fall off.

Finally, I took some wire and wrapped it around the feathers so they wouldn't split apart.

And there you go! A pair of feather earrings that are great for the summer!

They blend beautifully with the hair!

They also look great with the hair up!

Thankyou for reading!

The perfect swimsuit.

2011-05-16T08:36:00.000-07:00

Summer is crawling closer and closer to us.
It's time for us to sunbath, chill out on the beach or go for a swim.
But what do we wear?
I've been looking all over for a new swimsuit this season.
I just can't quite make my mind up.

I found this clothing Website called Black Milk, they create Lycra shiny clothing pieces from bodysuits to leggings.
I adore these bodysuits, but it would be difficult to tan in one of these.

There designs are amazing!
What I also love about bodysuits is that they can be worn when your not swimming or tanning.

Although, on the other hand; I have fallen in love with this rose bikini in Urban Outfitters.

I would buy it in an instant if it wasn't 85 pounds!

Whats your favourite type of swimsuits?
I'd say mine would be bandeau's and bodysuits!
<3

Oversized Purses.

2011-04-04T03:28:00.000-07:00

Oversized purses have become so popular this season. They have been spotted all over fashion week.
I love them so much, you can mix and match them together with you own outfits.
Must have to make a DIYed replica considering they can be expensive!
Shall i make a tutorial on here?

Inspiration.

2011-03-31T11:21:00.000-07:00

Photographs that have inspired me to have a wardrobe like today. I miniature scrapbook of things i have and would like to buy. I have a tumblr for that, but i'd like to place it on here instead.

Denim bleached high waisted shorts, crop tops, printed tights, brogues, dolly shoes, big crystal rings, cross necklaces, feather earrings, floral dresses, ray bans sunglasses, old cameras, centre parting hair, pink tips, flower crowns, knitted jumpers, floral wallpaper, old records and over rated fashion magazines.

I currently do not own any of these images.

House of Holland Fall 2011

2011-02-22T13:23:00.000-08:00

I have been following Henry Holland for some time now on twitter.

I am always amused by his tweets and his photographs he uploads. I have recently become quite attached to his work, i feel the urge to go ski-ing just so i can wear a ski suit he designed by roxy.

Anyway, here are some photographs i picked out from his fall collection.

I love the clash of colours and textures that have been used.

The make up i find, is very subtle. Right until you reach the lips, the centre of the subject on the face. The red shade matches each outfit perfectly!

I adore the pink suit, it reminds me of the DKNY 2008 collection with the cropped jacket and skirt.

What i love most about this outfit, it looks almost like the vest is a silk nightgown, the nude lace around the seam is a total give away, but i could be wrong. Either way the stylist done a lovely job pairing everything together, especially the fashion tights and the striped socks.

The cream pearl knit fabric is gorgeous when matched with the checked fabric, it reminds me of something you could wear in the midlands somewhere, it just gives me that vibe which in some ways i kinda like it.

The thin brown leather belt shapes the cut of the dress, and brings out the colours of the checked pattern, making the orange strips brighter against the camel tone. Also the socks make the whole outfit appeal brighter.

This piece is my favourite out of the collection this fall. The pattern on the dress reminds me of vintage scarfs you find in boxes at jumble sales.

The silk blouse that is worn underneath adds more flow to the dress.

Everything about this is beautiful, i would wear this outfit day and night.

Last christmas my nanny brought me a henry holland brooch, it had little charms hanging off the pin, it had a horse, eiffel tower, a heart and a H sign.

I guess i could say my nanny is pretty cool. ^_^

Have a lovely day my beautiful viewers.

Jeremy Scott 2011.

2011-02-21T11:12:00.000-08:00

I finally have a week off school! *jumps in the air* I am super happy as i can catch up on everything online.

So i've been looking around the internets, browsing through the collections at new york fashion week.

Jeremy Scott, oh boy. You have blown me away. To me, personally, his collection pieces have inspired me to start wearing bright bold colours again.

Firstly i must talk about the hair and the makeup.

Without the high pony tails bursting with strands of colour, i would say i would not appeal to the clothing as much.

The make up is my favourite brand known to existence, MAC! They make the eyes of the models go POP!

See? I would not pick the electric orange hair with the neon blue yellow and a tiny brush of green. Yet, it all fits perfectly together.

Ever since i caught my eye on Rodarte's collection with the huge oversized spider web knit outfits i have become obsessed with knit wear.

This skeleton knit jumper is so adorable, the pink is so bright and bubbly, but the skeleton pattern gives the pink a different relation as the skeleton is rather rebellious.

I may be giving myself a bad influence with this dress as there are hundreds of colourful pills piled on top of eachother.

But i feel as if you could wear this dress with anything! There is such a wide range of colours. I mostly love the fact the stylist has paired the orange fluffy stripper heel with the dress, it couldn't match any better!

This raincoat zipper dress is an absolute treasure! The colours, textures and not to mention the small added extras, the collar, zips and pockets.

But what i am drooling over is the red glitter heels. They are so adorable, they remind me of the red shoes of the wizard of oz.

Anyway, thats all for today.

But watch out, i'll be posting through out the week. I still want to write about a few tasty treats i've spotted down the catwalks.

Aur revoir!

Festival wear.

2011-02-11T12:30:00.000-08:00

Every year i go to a festival or two in the summer.

I tend to go to Lovebox Weekender with my parents.

This year i am hoping to go once again, but also see many other bands individually.

My papa and i have got tickets to see Arcade Fire in june, sadly none of my friends really like the genre of music so i tend to go with my parents. It doesn't really bother me at all really because they're cool! (that made me laugh.)

I also thought to myself, that i've seen quiet a lot of bands of my age of 15 years, some of my friends haven't even seen live bands play.

Heres my list so far, i still have more to add on.

Arcade Fire

B-52's

Chromeo

Cut Copy

Digitalism

Florence and the Machine

Frankmusik x2

Friendly Fires

Goldfrapp

Grace Jones

Hot Chip

Janelle Monae

Momus

New Young Pony Club

Pet Shop Boys x2

Vampire Weekend

Anyway, every year i have a last minute wardrobe nightmare.

This time i'm planning ahead, i thought of a couple of ideas of outfits to wear.

I don't really know how to explain this 'theme'.

I guess i'd have to say it was 'hipster/rockn'roll' inspired.

I'm in love with cross jewelry and scuffed clothing at the moment, it's so trashy yet stylish.

This outfit would be great for spring / summer if your not really the bright and colourful type.

Everything i picked is rather plain but works so well together.

I adore brown leather, it works with almost anything i wear.

This was the best maxi dress i found as the print reminds me of vintage bathing suits, the pattern is large and the colours are beautifully put together.

Maxi dresses are good for anything in the summer as they are light and lose, they suit so many body shapes.

I had to save my best till last.

Lace and frills are such gorgeous textures throughout any season.

I love everything about this, the hunter boots are always a must have for festivals.

Although, i wouldn't wear the jewelry with it, they seem a little too heavy to wear for the summer. I'd just add a few of the pearl bracelets on my arms instead.

Well thats my personal view on festival wear.

Leave me a comment telling me what you would wear to a festival.

The sets i made on polyvore - http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?id=1321519

Polyvore

2011-01-10T14:06:00.000-08:00

I've just opened my own Polyvore account.

One of my best friends has one and she is addicted to it!

I signed up a few months ago to view her collages but i never got round to exploring the site, creating my own pieces.

Now i have finally activated, you can add me if you wish to.

Click here to go to my profile

So far i have only made two little posts.

The crown of love by libbieee featuring valentino dresses

My first mini design. This outfit is dedicated to the main subject, the Valentino dress.

I want to add a small splash of colour by adding Yves Saint Laurent heels and a matching red bow.

The Bottega Veneta clutch is so adorable next to the dress. It reminds me of Alexander Mcqueen clutches.

Of course, lastly i added a pair of nerdy glasses to change the look a little, but they can be worn without.

The lyrics are from my favourite band Arcade Fire, the song is called The Crown Of Love.

I saw them play live on the 3rd December, it has most defiantly been the best night i have ever had.

Anyway, back to subject. My other outfit!

Fleurs by libbieee featuring belted dresses

Miu miu, one of my favourite clothing brands.

I added this jeweled closure dress and glitter brogues together considering they fitted so perfectly.

This Rebecca Minkoff bag goes nicely with the miu miu dress as it is a very similar colour to the seems and edges of the dress.

Tarino Tarantino's jewelry is so gorgeous and unique! I couldn't help but add one of her flower clips to this outfit!

It wasn't my intention to add a polaroid, but while i was browsing i found it and thought it was rather sweet. The image and effect relates to the outfit that i chose.

Please do comment your links below if you have a Polyvore!

Miu Miu collars and high wedged platforms.

2010-12-22T08:29:00.000-08:00

Today i have a sudden urge to make lots of miu miu collars.

They are so beautiful and elegant.

I made myself one a couple months ago, but i'd like to make more with different colours and patterns.

I apologize for how bad i look, it was a hot day so i put my hair above my head.

These photographs i found give me so much inspiration.

I adore the miu miu wedged pink heels with the birds on them.

What do you think? Do you like miu miu's collections? Whats your favourite piece of their brand?

Christmas Desires.

2010-12-15T11:14:00.000-08:00

^ Photograph from my flickr. ^

The lights are up and twinkling.

Each glitter ball ball is in it's correct place.

And the tinsel is laid on every branch of the tree.

Christmas is near.

I received a few requests asking to put up my christmas wish list.

So this sort of one of my fashionista blogs.. but not. If thats understandable?

Anyway, here are a few things i've kept in my mind this season.

Firstly, a pair of American Anglos.

I tried on a pair of ray bans, but they felt to small. I want bigger frames!

This gorgeous dress from asos!

The 'mustard' colour is something i would not usually go for, but as it is so beautiful its different and unique.

The perfect dress for an occasion like christmas!

Pink Hunter wellington boots!

My mama has a black pair of these, i am so jealous! I wish i had a pink pair all to myself so i can wear them in the snow.

I'm am addicted to oversized knitwear this season. There so comfortable and soft.

This pink and black jumper is from Topshop.

I have been looking for a plain heavy underskirt for many places.

My search is over as i have found one in american apparel, i prefer the white one but the photograph was to small to put on here.

59£ is a big whole in the wallet though....

Ever since i saw Vanessa Paradis modeling Chanel make up in my vogue magazine. I fell in love with the colour.

The lipstick is called Rouge by Coco Chanel.

This is not what i'm asking for, but what i am actually looking for.

I've had my Cath kidson bag for a year now for school, i feel like it's time to update it.

Constantly i've been looking at vintage Doctors bags and leather side bags.

I cannot find a nice one that is under 40£, A4 sized and a little wide so i can fit a wide books inside.

Last christmas i recieved a Tiffany and Co ring. I wear it every day and i rarely take it off.

I've thought to myself, maybe i should buy another one, yet this one i have seen is wider and thicker. I could wear it on my other hand.

Depending how much i decide to save up, i might get another ring.

Well, now that you've seen my winter desires i would like to say something.

I will not be expecting these for christmas. This is what i would like, but all of this would come to quiet a lot of money...

Most of these things i think i shall save up for and buy in the january sales.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

♥

Crochet.

2010-11-03T13:42:00.000-07:00

Last month, my mama and i were doing some shopping, browsing at different things. Its not until i found the gorgeous scarf in accessorize which was hand crochet.

My mama crochets lots of things, bags, brooches, pillow cases and loads more.

Considering the scarf was over £24, mama made a similar one for me.

I picked all the colours myself, its so pretty and i get so many compliments on it.

Crochet reminds me a little of Chanel. As there Spring/Summer 2010 collection was involved with crochet fashion.

If you would like to purchase a scarf or anything else go to my mamas shop online at ~

Shoes Shoes Shoes!

2010-10-13T10:37:00.000-07:00

I've recently become a fan of a website named Tumblr.

But I use Tumblr more as a scrap book. For quotes, thoughts, photographs and inspiration.

Posting my fashion blogs on Tumblr isn't the same, this blogspot account is for my passion for clothing and fashion.

On Saturday 9th October, I went to a fashion photography exibition at London College of Fashion.

I found out about this event on facebook, since I've become a fan of the facebook page. (click here)

The photographer was called Alex Hoedt.

My mama posted a blog about the exhibition if you'd like to take a look. (click here)

Once we took a look around London College of Fashion, we went to Topshop in Oxford Street. The biggest Topshop in the world.

I brought myself a pair of pink thin cotton trousers.

My mama brought a black, grey and dark blue knitted oversized jumper. I'm so jealous!

After hours of spending time trying on different clothes and buying christmas presents we headed off to Selfridges department store.

In Augusts UK Vogue issue, on page 103, there is a small section written by Lauren Cochrane.

Cochrane talked about every women's dreams. A Shoe hall full of different designers! From Christian Louboutin, Coco Chanel, Jimmy Choo to Kurt Geiger, Topshop, etcetera, etcetera.

My mind was blown away, with over Four Thousand shoes to those from, it was heaven!

If your ever near Selfridges at Oxford circus, please do take a look at the new Shoe Hall, it's breathe taking.

Mama and I were holding and feeling all the shoes! I don't agree with the quote -

'Don't touch what you can't afford.'

Once you reach the top of the elevator on the second floor, you come across a big open entrance and an astonishing shoe, three times the size of me. I just had to get my mama to take a photo of me with her little camera!

For some reason i'm pulling a weird face, and lighting doesn't look very good, my dress and hair is lighter than that.

Once we browsed around selfridges we headed to Bricklane for some Wagamamas and vintage shopping! Buying more christmas gifts.

And Starbucks!

This is all i have time to write, i want to add so much more!

I'll see you again, soon.

Update!!

2009-12-24T12:16:00.000-08:00

It's christmas break, and I am ready for the happiness that we spread.

What I love about christmas the most is spending time with my family.

What do you enjoy most about christmas?

I'm so excited to spend the day eating a load of food, watching christmas movies and drinking some pink sparkly!

Also, I've previously done two photoshoots.

The first one was for my "friend" emily, for her coursework.

A dead bloody bride.

And for all you worriers! It's fake blood, it isn't a church and thats a fancy dress dress!

The second shoot i done was with some left over candy canes I handed out to all my friends.

I was planning to shoot it in our 6 INCHES OF SNOW!! but I was wearing a bra I made from barbie accessories.

And it was to cold. So we did it inside!

Candycanemas! Shall i say.

Also I found this quote by John Lennon.

People have bitched about me so much.

I haven't changed from it.

I'm "different" to most of the girls in my school.

Everyone is different and unique.

But I don't own a pair of jeggings.

And I don't go out wearing skinnys uggs and a vest.

Not saying thats bad.

But its not my type.

At the moment i want to crimp my hair to the max, wear wooly tights with an oversized glittery jumper/dress. with some old lace up boots.

River island have started selling some.

I have doctor martins in bright pink which i am in LOVE with. But there not really weathery like and don't go with everything I wear.

I'm becoming to obsessed with crimped / wavey / curley hair.

Like lady gagas, FOR MAC!!

*Yes thats Cyndi Lauper.

And audreys new hair do.

I used to hate curtains, but now i'm in love with them!.

If only my hair was longer and i had no spots i would DEFINITELY rocking it out.

I also love Audreys other hair "wig" for her Marie Antoinette inspired shoot.

I look up to Audrey Kitching way to much now, maybe perhaps because i understand her style / personality.

Merry Christmas!

I LOVE YEWWW ALL. <3

Like bows, flowers, My little ponies, etcc. :)

And the New Jeremy Scott One Piece bathing suit. The kind of flinestones look.

What do you think of it?

Mhmm, right now i'm eating lemon and pepper corns. There so tasty! But the smell, and now the whole of upstairs stinks of it!

Oh my god, i could write all day. But i have Art and History coursework due in tomorrow! :O
