An Outfit In Detail.

I saw another blogger do this a while back and thought I'd give it a go myself. I chose clothes with lots of texture and bright colours and photographed them up close.
I hope you like the pictures.

I love the contrasting textures of the thick knitted jumper and elbow patch (Zara Man) and the simple elegance of the rings which softens the overall look.

The charcoal coloured jumper and vibrant bag look amazing against eachother.

What can I say? I do love my riding boots, especially the buckle detail.

Emma Watson.

So there's been a lot of controversy about Emma Watson's new pixie crop which is an increasing popular trend for many celebrities to get the chop for example...

Carey Mulligan

I much prefer Carey's crop, she has a great face and brilliant cheekbones to pull it of and I think she looks really quirky and cool.

Hayden Panettiere

I love Haydens long locks but I think the second picture showing her cut that just skims the shoulders, really suits her, it accentuates her jawline and looks really good. In the third picture, I'm not sure if she's cut it again or just gelled it back, but hair that short is not a good look for her due to her more rounded face. Also, the way she's gelled it back doesn't look great either.

And finally...
Emma Watson!

I really don't like her new hair, she does have a fantastic face that can pull it off, but I'm sorry I much preferred her gorgeous long, wavy blonde hair and I think it made her look a lot prettier. I suppose she was brave to take a risk but I'm definately disappointed as I used to think she was one of the prettiest femal celebrities.
Oh why did she get rid of her hair?

Personally, however much my dad nags me about needing to get a major haircut, I don't think I'd ever get the crop. For one thing, I don't have the highly accentuated cheekbones to pull it off but also because it's taken me almost 6 years to grow my hair and I'm very much fond and attached to it. :)

What do you think of the crops?

London Fashion Week.

Sorry I've been a tad MIA this past week but I've just been so busy. I promise to be better next week.
My post is going to be on possibly what every fashion blogger is posting about this week.
The one. The only. London Fashion Week.
I'm going to show you my favorite celebrity outfits from London fashion week after spending hours scouring through photos.

Ahh Alexa Cheung, yes I DO love her style, although I not as keen on the 2nd outfit, I love the first. The tweed jacket is really different and cool, and I kinda want one. I also love the simple white shirt she's paired it with and then the unusual accessories, I think it comes together really nicely.

On the left, Lisa Snowdon's outfit is really simple yet really chic, the all black with the black double breasted gold buttons looks really good and fits in with the military trend. Also, on the right, size 12 supermodel Erin O'Connor's jacket is such a vivid and cool colour. And personally, I LOVE the t-shirt.

I couldn't find any pictures of Emma Watson from this London Fashion Week, but these are some previous pictures of her from the same event. I'm not always a massive fan of what Emma Watson wears but I think these two pictures show her two completely different types of style, which I think is really good. She can look all glamorous and sparkly in the gold belted dress yet still look incredibly stylish and sophisticated pulling of casual grunge with a veneer of ssphitication. That and her radiant face (though her hair is a tragic loss) can pretty much pull anything off. Jealous? Me? Never!

British actress Alice Eve on the left wore possibly my favorite outfit. She looks alsolutely amazing in the White, knee-legnth dress with a scooping neckline (I guess she got the memo about the 'only boobs OR legs thing'), thin belt and subtle necklace. The bag is beautiful chocolate coloured leather, and although I'm don't really like pointy shoes, they are really nice and look amazingly pretty and incredibly coordinated with the rest of her outfit. Her subtle make-up and natural hair completes the look to perfection.
Lastly, Jameela Jamil cleans up very nicely in that skintight black dress. I'm not much of a fan of her style because I generally think she shows too much skin, but this suitable length dress with cap-sleeves is really appropriately accessorised and looks really nice.

Hope you liked all the outfits.
I have a giveaway I think I'll launch sometime during the week so watch this space! :)

Cable Knit.

The whole cable knit thing is really getting big at the moment, especially with winter round the corner. It may remind you of balding men who play cricket, but if you get it right you'll look great.
These are my favorite cable knit jumpers at the moment.

1. Both Topshop £48

Navy, cream, cardigan, jumper. You want it, Topshop will have it. I love the Navy one for something a bit different and they look uber comfy!

2. Zara £29.99

If you're looking for something a little more fitted than than the Topshop one, and about £20 cheaper, then this is perfect smart-casual wear.

3. Left Zara £25.99, Right Zara £19.99

Zara, as usual are way ahead of everyone else doing both pieces in Camel, Cream or Green. I love the green ones, but any would be good by me. They're thick and warm as well as being unique with the gold buttons on the cardigan and cropped sleeves on the sweater.

4. River Island £34.99

A little pricey but I love this one, I think it's my joint favorite with the Zara sweater, and the small studs give it and little extra something.

I love all of them and I hope you like some of them too.
