White Out

La Garçonne, I really love you I do.
You have all my favourite designers on one site. You hold the style I crave...despite my insufficient funds, I still like to have a weekly drool over you.
Another thing I'm really loving for the upcoming season - whites...and beiges, creams eggshells, ivory, oyster...blah blah you get my drift.
So, blending my two most current loves at the moment...

Boy by Band of Outsiders 'Exploding Dress'

Rag & Bone 'The Sung Shirt'

Helmut Lang 'Angora Floats Pullover'

Proenza Schouler 'Voile Shirtdress'

3.1 Phillip Lim 'Pashli Satchel'

Proenza Schouler 'PS1 Medium in Nude'

How dreamy.
Especially the PS1, it would be a dream come true to own one...just need to scrape up a thousand pounds...loose change right? Ha.

NEW IN - Jewellery

 Had a little jewellery binge this February...

ASOS Multi Plain Gold Band Rings £8

Silver Double Finger Cross Ring - Valentines Gift from Boyfriend
Gunmetal spike ring - part of Miss Selfridge ring set

H&M silver ring set - £3.99

The rustic skull ring in the Miss Selfridge set on it's own

The whole Miss Selfridge Multi Skull/Spike ring set.
5 rings for £12.50 is amazingggg! I got 10% student discount as well :)
Just put these all on to show them off, think it looks a tad too much to wear them all at once...even for me!

Miss Selfridge Gold Cross Ear Cuff - £4 (-10% discount for students)
Please excuse the greasy/messy hair.
This is my first ear cuff. I am bit confused on how to wear it...is it really going to stay holding onto my ear all day?

Oh poo. I just had a look on the Miss Selfridge site to remind myself of the prices and OMG they have further reduced ALL their jewellery by 25%!!!
I'm quite upset that I brought mine for more, but oh well, I can buy some of the other pieces I had my eye on as I'm literally obsessed with their jewellery this season!

Summer wishing

Topshop why must you do this to me? So many pretty little summer clothes and accessories. I want it to be summer now. I'm sick of sitting by my radiator to stop shivering!
Well...first I need to get skinny and tanned (to look good in Topshop's clothes haha) then I want it to be summer...

Strappy Grunge Midi Dress £25

Spot Strappy Button Sundress £36

Sleeveless Stripe Shirt £30

Cropped Vest £6 (I strangely love this!)

Small Cross Hoop Earrings £4

Nails in Adrenalin £6

Stripe High Waisted Hotpants £32

Swan Print Skirt - £30

Mid Heel Brogues - £65

Stud Gladiator Sandals £50

Obviously and sadly I cannot afford all these pieces. Have to figure out which are the most cost-per-wear worthy and all that jazz!
Sorry for the lack of originality of the post, you know the classic 'here-is-my-Topshop-wishlist' that you get every single day from Bloggers...but I couldn't help it, I just loved these pieces!

I must also mention a big thanks to 2ndhandCinderella for awarding me with the Liebster blog award. I really appreciate it :)

Luxe Surprises

My boyfriend and Farah are so sneaky...but incredibly lovely people!

Turns out Grant secretly asked Farah to make me one of her new LUXE collection pieces. I've been pining for the Kalista necklace ever since my sister Asli recieved the gold version from Farah as a Christmas present. I was planning on getting one for myself...until last Saturday I woke up and in my morning haze went to go make strong, strong coffee and trip over an unexpected parcel at my door. I love receiving parcels in general, but unexpected ones are even better!

Awww aren't they both the cutest?! Loved Farah's packaging and her mini business cards were adorable!

So I now have my very own Silver Kalista necklace and I'm already in love with it, especially the colours (Jet and Indicolite) of Swarovski crystals.

Remember to check out DesignsbyFaraM to get your hands on a Kalista yourself, and if you're more of a 'gold-jewellery-type-person' (haha) then the gold version is just as stunning.

So how did I choose to wear my elegant Kalista? With a rough biker look of course!

Biker 'leather' jacket - Topshop
Green checked shirt - Primark
Silver heavy knit top - 'Vintage' Principles c/o my mother :)

Black skinny jeans - Zara
Black chelsea boots - H&M

Oh and on a final note - yesterday was the 1st Birthday of this blog! Happy Birthday Edaburgh!
I want to thank everyone who reads, follows and comments on my blog! You all make my little blog and I very happy indeed!

Music Mondays

Today it shall be the lady who has sparked much controversy: Lana Del Rey. I frankly don't care whether she has had work done on her face to be sexier, or has a complete overhaul on her original look to be more appealing to the music world. Performing and music is turning into an art form now, with examples like Lady Gaga wearing her outrageous outfits, so we should all leave Lana alone right? Who cares if her daddy is a millionnaire and is the only reason she is now successful, her songs and her look are beautiful and original, so who cares how and why she rose to fame?

I sound like I'm her number one fan, supporting her from the very beginning...but...to be honest I only started listening to her this past week.
I have always heard her name be mentioned as a 'rising star' and I knew I should have a listen, but being my lazy self, I couldn't be bothered. It wasn't until my friend Alicia mentioned her and started playing the songs in the flat, I realised that Lana Del Rey is actually amazing. Haha. I have heard the song Video Games in so many programmes like Gossip Girl and I was always like 'I like this song, I wonder who sings it...' but forgetting to find out...but now I know.
So to celebrate the launch of her album today 'Born to Die', I thought I would make her my Music Monday pick.



Enjoy!

Jumping on the Romwe bandwagon

I keep seeing the amazing clothes on some of the top bloggers such as on Morven from Cats and Rocking Chairs and when I scroll down to see where it's from it keeps happening to be from Romwe - the website for the 'Latest Street Fashion Online'.
Here are some of my picks:

Rib Rose Jumper - £36.54

Denim Collar Contrast White T-Shirt - £26.57

Black and White Dot Shirt - £24.58

Retro Peter Pan Collar Apricot Dress - £24.58

Mock Two Pieces Black Dress - £21.92

Gold/Silver Three Finger Ring - £7.97

 

Retro Blue Message Bag - £54.48

I think my favourite pick is the Mock Two Pieces dress, I've never owned anything like it so I love it for it's originality. What's your favourite?

What's even better about this site is it has free shipping worldwide and no minimum purchase is needed to get it! Only problem...I don't understand why most of their clothes are ONE SIZE. How can a dress like the Peter Pan one fit anyone and everyone? I like dresses to fit me snugly so not sure how great this dress will look. Damn, such a bummer because I was really tempted to buy it.

California Dreamin'

As you may have heard, the line-up for Coachella has been announced and my-oh-my is it a crazily amazing one:

It would be such a dream to go. I watch the highlights and see the photos from the previous years and it seems so perfect. Of course Coachella is famous for attracting the hottest (skinniest) and most stylish people. Therefore chubby, little me with a wardrobe consisting of high street, Scottish weather suitable attire is quite daunted. However it's my dream to go, so I guess I can make a dream list of the things I would pack. It sure as hell is a dream because there is no way in reality I'd wear a $350 necklace to a festival!
