Models Bring Us Back to Basics

It's no secret that the models of the moment always look great, but it isn't just down to their blessed genes - they show us how important it is to get the basic essentials right. I'm not usually one to promote a wardrobe full of black/white/grey shades, but they are staples for everyone whatever you chose to team them with.

Invest in good quality peices that fit well and have something a bit more interesting about them. Basics don't have to be boring and you can be head to toe in black and grey and still be inspiring with your choices. Now that winter is swiftly coming along we'll be seeing a lot of dull colours, so grabbing some of the key peices will stop you from looking frumpy, and leave everyone wondering how you look so good when youre wearing something so simple.

I scoured the internet to find some items that are worth snapping up.

I'm back!

There have been a major lack of posts I know, it's because I was on holiday in Florida for two weeks.

I'm now back in London town and a little depressed with the lack of palm trees/heat and the general greyness here. I bought Teen Vogue at the airport yesterday, the September issue with Taylor Momsen on the cover. I always enjoy Teen Vogue's fashion shoots but too often their cover stars put me off, probably being that I can't relate to disney stars so much as the likes of Rachel Bilson and the Gossip Girl cast.




The thing I always love about Teen Vogue is that they take fashion seriously but still have fun with it making their features colourful and playful. I think this is what also draws me to UK Glamour, Lula and Material Girl. The prospect of winter fashion is often dull for me, so Teen Vogue was just what I needed to get me excited for winter wardrobe shopping. I was going to dedicate a post to this but after a hunt for winter fashion it seems that summer isnt quite over enough and there isn't a great deal to look at.

Nevertheless, my hunt for the perfect over-knee boots will continue, and as soon as bold scarves and statement coats are on the rails I will be picking out my favourites to share with you all :)



Hope youre all having a good summer! x
