While flicking musing over SS11 collections I was inspired to create a preppy/lolita/gothic outfit. Inspired by Balenciaga, Christopher Kane, Moschino, to Meadham Kirchhoff SS11. The lace styles mixed with an infusion of bright colours, compliment the contrasting textures- it's like candy floss come to life (*if only I had more money*). 

This weekend I went out to Portobello with a few of my friends, it was AMAZING. I've actually never been to Portobello *gasps*. The markets were scattered with vantage, antiques to handmade goods. I managed to purchase 5 things for £20- bargain! I was so tempted to buy a pink Polaroid, sadly I'd already been enlightened to the handmade jewellery (you can see some of it in my next post). After Portobello, we ventured to the frugal teenager's home-Primark. Primark have some amazing stock at the moment, from leather shorts to deer head rings. I bought a netted heart clip, which you can see in the photo above, reminded me very much of Alice In Wonderland cross between Miu Miu SS11. I really recommend you go if your tight on money ;).

Really sorry for the long delay in between posts, I've already got photos taken for the next post, so all is good! Will be replying to your wonderful comments, look forward to hearing your views on the post:

    Dood that dress is amazing, love the sheerness with the dots underneath. Plus I'm so jealous of your trip to the market, we literally have NOTHING like that here :(
