zane lowe

last week zane lowe was playing at oceana in nottingham, and despite my dislike for the place, i couldn't miss this opportunity.

even though i got headbutted on the dancefloor when i got caught up in a mosh pit, the night was still amazing. zane lowe was so good, proper got the crowd going and played every genre of music possible. if you ever get the chance to see him, do!

this is what i wore for the night. my new top from topshop with some black denim shorts from zara and black wedges.

new clothes

okay so i apologise for the substantial lack of blogging recently. i forgot what it was like being back at uni organising your time between uni life and social life and then everything inbetween and currently my social life has been winning. but i am back on track now!

so i thought i would start with showing you all my new purchases:

from left: dress - french connection, top - topshop, maxi skirt - topshop, jeans - topshop

working for french connection has it's advantages, this dress is my new work uniform and i proper love it. the snake print makes it really current as animal print is big this season and as well as being suitable for work, it is also perfect for a night out. the next piece of uniform i have my eye on is some sequin hotpants!

this maxi skirt was the exact one i had been looking for all summer. i was desperate to find one made up with a shorter layer underneath and a sheer fabric on top. so when i saw this one i couldn't resist not buying it!

moroccan market

so last weekend in nottingham, they had a moroccan market in market square. i love it when they have these types of markets because all the products are so visually stunning and it opens our eyes to a complete different culture. there were some gorgeous pieces, from leather satchels to exquisitely decorated homewear to beautiful pieces of jewellery. if only i had had some money to spend.

louis vuitton

the louis vuitton spring/summer 12 show could not have been more different than that of autumn/winter 11. no longer was it about the fetish boots or sheer fabrics, but instead this season was a lot more subtle. it was soft and fragile in pastel colours accompanied with feathers, lacy collars and oversized white buttons. yet there was a certain strength to the collection with exquisite laser cut lace tops and skirts, sealed in silk cellophane; as if the contents was to precious to be unwrapped. all presented on a carousel, it was an absolute stunning collection.

shu fashion design

whilst sorting through all my stuff to start back at uni, i came across the lookbook i had picked in the summer promoting the work of the fashion design students at sheffield hallam university. sheffield may not be best known for being involved within fashion, but some of the garments that the graduates have produced are stunning and i had to share them with you. and with sheffield fashion week coming up next week, maybe things are set to change on the sheffield fashion scene.
