An old closet that takes you back in time...

Puma

Adidas

Why have I never done this before? I am talking about raiding my nans closet. OK, maybe not everything that I have found in there was to my taste, but I have definitely found some 90s favourites. The tracksuit jacets both belonged to my grandad, who used to be a sportsman back in the day. The 90s fashion is slowly creeping back in and tracksuit jackets are on the front rails of all the vintage shops. And what's even better about my jackets, is that they wernt just a quirky buy, but a sentimental value and a memory of my grandad. Ok, maybe they are little too big but I am determined to wear them, baggy is in anyway, right? 
Finding my mums "boyfriend jeans" from the 90s wasnt my biggest suprise (makes me giigle thinking of her in them), but their size was. So she tells me she wore them just after giving birth to me. Really? They are like size 4/6 around the waist. I can just fit into the blue pair, which are interestingly branded as "Cougar" on the back, but wearing yellow ones will involve a good 2 days with no food. I am determined to wear them though, at least once, even if its just until I can no longer breathe. 
I shall wear them soon and post some outfit pictures on here, so keep checking out this blog :)

Capes are not just for Superheroes...

I can't  begin to tell you how much I love my cape. So much, that I am dedicating a whole blog post to it (it's not because I can't think of anything else to write about, I promise ;) I am so glad that the whole cape trend is back again, because it simply rocks! If you are like me, and into some serious bike riding, I would suggest that you should definitely invest into one of them. The best cycling wear out there..HAHA... But on the serious note...   

I brought this cape from a vintage shop called COW. If you ever come across it you should definitely check it out. It cost me only £35, which is a bargain. I love the red lining inside the cape and the velvet peter pan collar which unfortunately you can't see from the photos... but it's there. Also, it takes a sec to put on, and you're ready to go....

This trend is here to stay, so keep your eyes out for capes, but don't be deceived, we are no Superheroes!

OOTD - Embracing the forthcoming Spring

Hey :) It was so exciting to finally see more muted and pale pallets for the Summer/Spring collection after a season of acid colours. I know we only just mid way through the winter, but I decided to give this trend a go. Don't get me wrong, I loved the high contrast colours and colour blocking that we saw on the cat walk last season, but I think it's nice to see more delicate and subtle garments. This particular outfit is centred around my vintage shirt that I got from Cow a while back. Its very delicate in both texture and colour, and I just love how it can make the entire outfit stand out, without screaming "look at me!".
