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.

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...

Permesso, Quanto Costa?

A fresh start, a new year. After the build up to Christmas and allowing the festive season to slowly fade behind me, progress and ideas for my blog bloomed in my mind and in sketch books. My new years resolution is not something to give up neither to accomplish a self achievement of confidence, I am perfectly happy with the way I am. However a little exercise to simply be healthy is on the list along with my main resolution of saving a certain amount this year to help towards my own place. Well, a place for my boyfriend and I to move in together, nothing would make me happier and I already have an over flowing 'bottom draw' from copper bottom Prestige pans to decorative items, mainly a lot of vintage. It is an exciting thought, to have a space and simply make it your own. Last weekend, Ross and I decided to go to the local carboot fair to see how many people would be selling so soon after Christmas. We arrived to a nearly empty car park but there was still potential for bargai...
