#1 : Blurry / Love the colours & the distortion in this, I so wish I knew who it was by though!
#2 : Frank’N’Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show / One of my all time favourite movies & characters, I have no idea why, but I still have such a huge crush on Tim Curry as Frank…
#3 : Sougwen Chung / So much gorgeous detailing in this, I could stare at it forever!
#4 : Texture mix / Although I’d never wear real fur, I love the mixture of textures here, definitely want to re-create this but in faux!
#5 : Leslie Ann O’Dell / I love how this looks almost too real, but it is a photograph! The use of light & shadow is so painterly, giving that hyper real effect, just beautiful.
#6 : Ann Demeulemeester FW12 / I adored this whole collection, but little details like this are why I love Demeulemeester so much…
#7 : Hazy sky / Those smokey clouds, pinkish sky & that little sliver of moon, so pretty!
#8 : Lonely Hearts underwear set / I still can’t get enough of this underwear, such simple perfection, I wish they had a UK stockist!
#9 : Kim Yeong Jun for Singles Korea ‘The Boy’ / I featured Yeong Jun’s work a few posts ago, this is another of my favourites of his. I’ll always be a huge fan of androgynous looks & this whole editorial is killer!

Topshop Suede Jacket / Boohoo Gold Knit Sweater * / AllSaints Draped Dress / Topshop Belt / Topshop Boots / Balenciaga City

I’m not sure what it is with me lately, but it seems that the golden biker jacket I featured a little while ago has given me a taste for all things gold & sequined. It’s so unlike me, but over the past week or so I’ve found myself drawn to everything shiny. First this metallic knit, then gold foil nail polish & I even have a (non-black!) sequined tee on the way! That’s something I never thought I’d be saying, but of course I’ll be wearing them all with a good dose of black, lots of draping & my beaten up boots too!

It’s nice to surprise yourself sometimes & find that things you’d usually dismiss for not being very ‘you’ can actually slot quite effortlessly into your wardrobe with the right styling.

As soon as I saw this chunky knit from Boohoo it was love, the golden paint over the top gives it almost a chain-mail kind of look, and you all know how much I love anything with a bit of a ‘warrior’ feel, so of course I had to have it. It’s super soft & slouchy too, perfect worn a little oversized & belted or tucked in. I love that the gold is just painted on so imperfectly, bits of black knit showing through & patches where it’s rubbing off, it gives it a grungier feel which is I think why I find it so wearable. I must admit though, I am a little scared to wash it, I’m not sure how well the finish will hold up as it’s already leaving a fine layer of golden dust on anything it touches!

Three Floor Spring / Summer 2013 Collection

Three Floor quickly became one of my favourite brands of last year, going from strength to strength with each subsequent collection & rapidly gaining admirers for their high quality, fashion forward pieces with a price tag that just seems too good to be true. The pieces of theirs I own myself are easily some of my favourite items in my wardrobe. They look so much more expensive than their high street price tags would suggest, thanks to beautiful, quality fabrics & the kind of attention to fit & detail that you usually only see on higher end brands.

I’ve been waiting forever to see the full line up for the Spring collection. Upon seeing it I initially thought that it was beautiful but there was nothing very ‘me’ that I’d actually want to buy, unlike previous seasons where I’ve wanted every single piece. The more I look at it though, the more I love it. I think a lot of this was down to the lookbook, as the styling is so far away from my own style I couldn’t see myself in any of the pieces, but looking at them flat & without any fuss I can easily picture a few pieces fitting with my existing wardrobe.

The standout for me is the metallic green dress with the mesh panels, I love how architectural the cut is & the tight fit & faux leather accents toughen it up perfectly, putting it straight to the top of my list. I don’t even mind the metallic green, as it’s dark enough to be wearable for me. The orange dress is my idea of a dream dress, absolute perfection, I only wish that it came in black too so that I could have one myself. I know I’ve been slowly trying out colours other than black recently, but I don’t think I’m ready for bright orange just yet!
