Reason for temperamental blogging= Mocks. I hate mocks. So thank God they're over! A long two weeks of revision and exams. As a reward I treated myself to the joys of shopping, it's been too long since I mused over garments, accessories and blogs. So I've prepared a little Christmas list (as above-and yes I still do a Christmas list...). So basically I'm back! I've got a giveaway in store and many reviews. (Plus I'm scheduling the posts, so seriously do keep a look out!)

Finally it's Friday, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Now as you may have noticed I've been a bit temperamental with blogging, so I've decided to change my ways, i.e drafted posts from the weekend.
Anyhow, the lovely Luxury Clutches, sent me this gorgeous satin diamante weave clutch bag. The quality is absolutely beautiful- I feel a bit like a 1950's movie star walking around with it *slyly flicks hair, like a 1950's movie star*. Crystals have been a key trend over the last few months and still are. So the clutch pairs perfectly with heaps of accessories, and also garments. Think of metallics, whilst the shape complements AW11 AND SS12 oriental prints.
So where better to take the photos than a graveyard? Now it may sound like a bit of weird juxtaposition, well to be honest that was the whole point! Shimmering crystals and satin, against rough and distressed gravestones. Fabulous. There are so many styling options with just anything, including the clutch.
So why not go the full mile, and check out their other clutches, such as a completely diamante covered clutch? Think of all the kitsch looks you could create, in class!

Raw, kitsch and full of bling- Versace for H&M. Sounds perfect. I have been eagerly anticipating the collection for God knows how long, and finally we're in the month of the launch date (!!!!!). The collections consists of greek, oriental and harajuku inspired cuts, styles and prints. Whilst it still remains sophisticated yet quirky. Whether your looking for a black dress or the full Donatella shebang, it's there. Not only that, it's a fabulous investment, oriental prints were all over the SS12 catwalk (e.g Stall McCartney). However, I must admit the prices are still a bit steap-£99.99 for a dress. Anyhow, Starting to sound a bit too much like a sales person here, and currently falling asleep whilst typing. I've even managed to spill BLACK paint over my final art piece. Literally, I cannot stress how busy I have been with school..work,work, work! (Sorry for the badly written post, in a a bit of a stressy and exhausted state). So for now have a great week! Izzy xo

There's been so much to blog about recently, but there hasn't been so much time. Though finally half-term has arrived, which means lots of going out (so many more outfit posts to come!). Recently, I've had an obsession for 1960/70's hippy vibes ( a bit of Mia Farrow!) mixed with the kitsch high- school trend. The tartan skirt is definitely going to be a key winter wardrobe piece- whether it be a country heritage look or punk inspired look. Talking of the 1960/70's I managed to pick a kaftan up from a charity shop for £14 ( a bit more than I'd usually pay), but everywhere else seems to have decided to rip the nation off...but hey. Look out for mood boards coming up, as my friend Chloe and I are really going ahead with out t-shirt company- who knows some freebies maybe on the way! Izzy xo - 23:22

Tartan, a timeless trend. It somehow pops up every season. Vivienne Westwood may come to mind with the punk era- or maybe plaid country heritage. So with that in mind, I went all out with tartan (I felt tempted to wear my tartan tights, but I think I would have got one look too many...maybe next time!) To contrast with the English heritage vibes, I decided to wear my 70's platform boots. I tend to clunk around in them considering they're a size too big, but it's worth it for the price of $5! Look forward to the next post, and the next- I've got them planned already (for once!) Excuse the rather ill look on my face...blurgh

I said there was Meaham Kirchhoff inspired posts to come and her it is. Burn out prom Queen vibes galore. Though I did try not to be just a one trick pony and edge towards more Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood with their organic vibes (mainly just the fishnet socks, but it does the job). I'm a yummy colouroholic at the moment spurred on by Philosophy AW11. Not only that, just think of all the Harajuku style trends and ironic neon religious iconography. In more of a pop-culture reference, I have been listing to Nikki &the Dove all week. Her electric vibes just make you think of a candy cosmo wonderland, and life couldn't be better than that.
