KEY LOOKS

So as I've been saying for the past few posts, I'm STILL working on my Look Magazine blog competition entry! I'm trying to make it a little bit different and creative so I stand out. Could go completely wrong though haha! My next blog post will most likely be that one.

Here are some key looks that I saw that I think look great. I couldn't resist putting up the 'One man wolfpack' t-shirt look! I can't resist a boyish t-shirt sometimes! Topshop do a few which I love at the moment, when I get paid I will definitely be getting one :)

HOW TO WEAR DENIM

I don't think denim will ever go out of style completely but I wanted to show you some cool ways to wear it. Personally I love high-waisted denim shorts in all sorts of colours! I have cream, light blue, dark blue and a black pair! Denim sleeveless jackets I also love at the moment as well. Below I've put some denim style inspirations that I think are awesome.

On another note, It is really sad to hear whats happening in London & other cities, with the pointless riots. Thankfully it hasn't hit my area as I live in a small town in the North, but it is disgusting to think idiotic people are rioting and destroying things they need and peoples homes. I hope it gets sorted out.

SLEEVELESS LEATHER

I've been routing around other blogs recently and getting a feel for what I like to see in blogs and I've come to the conclusion that I love seeing what people are wearing and buying. I think it definitely inspires me to buy something like that if I like what I see. So I took the plunge and photographed what I was wearing before (and after) I went shopping on a glorious and rare sunny day!

I came back with a few things which included a Sleeveless black faux leather jacket from Primark, I've been hunting for one of these for ages, I was tempted to buy one for about £50 a couple of months ago but I told myself I couldn't afford it! But now I've found one which looks just as good for £16! Yay!

I also picked up some tan mocassins also from Primark and some American flag print socks from Topshop that I could wear with boots. I said I would get some didn't I?! :)

Well I'm having a hard think of what to include in my Look Magazine competition blog post. I want it to be creative but also to show what my blog is all about and where I would like it to go in the future. Wish me luck!

P.S Sorry about the mirror took photos! I intend to get a place to take photos of my outfits soon or someone to take them if I decide to feature my outfits anymore! x







Cardigan - Primark (Small mens). Drop arm hole vest - Topshop. Necklace - Matalan, Lace Shorts - Topshop. Boots - Urban Outfitters.

LOOK MAGAZINE & ANIMAL PRINT

Sooo there is a Look magazine blogging competition and the prizes are immense! In the next week I'm going to work on a blog post for it so I can enter, hopefully it is creative/good enough to be considered to win. But as my blog is relatively new, I'm not sure it stands a good enough chance against some other more established blogs! But hey, it is worth a try! If you have any ideas of what my blog needs to give it a bit of a spark please let me know in the comments or via Twitter.

Well another style I'm loving at the moment is animal print, its been around and made its comeback this summer. I have seen loads of stuff in Topshop and a little bit of animal print here and there on the high street. I am searching for some budget leopard print wedged heels at the moment! It is a trend I'm loving right now. I found some gorgeous examples of how to wear animal print below...

CROSSES

At the moment I am loving the cross trend. I'm seeing them on t-shirts, shorts and jewellery. I bought a double cross ring from Urban Outfitters a while ago but it has turned bronze :| but anyway I do intend to get some sort of cross pendant necklace, it is a piece of jewellery that you could probably wear with anything. You can get some leopard print cross t-shirts from Urban Outfitters as well which I think look great. Below I've put a selection of my favourite photos of the cross trend in action.

In other news, I am currently in the middle of writing my cover letter and my CV for any magazine work experience or professional online blogging experience (or something along those lines!). I'm going into my last year of university now and it is pretty vital for me to get some work experience! Eek!
