The Hepburn of all.

Having mentioned the LBD (the little black dress) last post, I began to think about it probably a little too much. Soon after, I started to rummage through my wardrobe-the one that looks sneezed on, to find my little numbers. I didn't realise how many I actually had. Four of my black dresses are not little but long and the other six are lovely little dresses all with a unique style and some with a bit of glitz. I decided to have my own little photo shoot like you see in the glamour magazines' and may have got a bit carried away. First in line of my LBD's is the one I previously mentioned, bought for £5 with short sleeves and a low back. A great example of a simple yet effective black dress. Second, is one of my favourites. I wore this dress on my 21st birthday in New York. I had previously known I was being taken to New York's most prestigious night club (The Box), so I knew I had to wear something glamorous. I searched high and low for something special but unfortunately the Charity shops were not on my side and I was forced to look in the high street stores themselves. However, I stumbled across the sale in Topshop and found this dress, by Lipsy, for only £10. I already had a voucher of £5 from a friend as an early birthday gift so only had to pay £5, a bargain for me! Next, a simple, thin strapped dress, quite versatile, your Audrey Hepburn of dresses. Fourth, a lovely black dress, strapless, with a metallic silver flower print for that wonderful twist. This is another Lipsy dress, also a £5 bargain buy. I wore this for New Year into 2009. Fifth, a 20's classic of tassels and sparkle, a flapper dress. Yet again another Lipsy dress for yet again, another £5 bargain buy. There is something about Topshop sales and making all items £5 that obviously works on their customers and weakens their need for more LBD's! Last but not least, a lovely bubbles dress of elastic at the bottom to curve the dress under. With sequins around the chest, it adds a lovely feature to the dress but also enhances a small chest. Brilliant for me! I wore this dress for my 18th birthday. For someone who didn't know the clubbing fashion style, I think I got it just right.

After a collection of bargain buys have been found and the wardrobe is over flowing with wonderful items, outfits can be thrown together and fashion can be made up! Although I wouldn't say that I am particular wacky or out standing with my fashion, I like to be simple yet effective. However, I do like to play with patterns and find new shapes for my body. Here I am wearing some clothes given to me by friends. Also another great way to get yourself some bargains, instead of going shopping and spending lots of money, why not call your girlies and arrange for a night in with a bottle, or two, some pizza and have a night of swapping clothes you no longer wear. This skirt is great, it's a lovely burgundy colour which will look great with just a t-shirt and plimpsoles for a more casual look, however I have gone for the evening look and matched the skirt with a lovely leopard print leotard. I just need to find a little black or gold bolero to wear with this outfit to complete the loo

Returning to my Keys

My fellow followers, readers, friends. I have been so unorganised and lacked the motivation to write that I have left an open wound, a gap, not just to my blog but to myself. So much has happened and changed and so many bargains have been found since New Years, there is just simply, too much to tell. After Christmas and New Years, still working at Reiss, the team entered into a competition through the company to put forward our idea, of how we convey passion, focus drive and our thoughts of how we perseve their slogan 'I am Reiss'. At first it was a subtle joke of making a music video and writing our own rap which soon turned into creating a music video to Pharell Williams 'Happy' where we just danced on the shop floor but also included the full Reiss service to a customer (who also joined in on the dancing) The idea we all had was the scene in 500 days of summer, where Joseph Gordon-Levitt dances through the city and more and more of the public join in. Our minds were
