LULU SPRING SUMMER

So on the weekend of halloween I landed myself a new job selling in LuLu Guinness. I have been a fan of the designer since my friend introduced me to the brand at the beginning of first year. This week saw some of their Spring Summer range. The theme... Disco. Although the disco ball and head phones are not available yet these are some of my top picks so far.

 LuLu has been experimenting with faces for the last six years. This is her newest version. I love the cheeky feel to it. All on a polished Carve leather.

 My fav piece from the collection is this lips bag. Originally coming out as a wristlet clutch last season it has been developed into this handbag (bigger than it looks in the picture). The leather is amazing, nappa is the platinum of all leathers. And this design will be sure to get you noticed.

So, I've just started my second year of uni; which means one thing... work. Our new project is based on 'Fashion Forecasting' and 'Sustainable Futures'. We need to look into three different trends, the one I'm most interested in is the designer trainer. Such designers as Chanel, DKNY, Ashish, Christian Dior and Burberry Prorsum are including trainers in their most recent collections.

The count down to London Fashion Week has started...  and if things go the right way I could be getting work experience with Ashish! I've been looking through his last seasons and trying to choose my favourite bits... and then got distracted by all the other designers. These are some of my favs from S/S14:
(sorry about bad quality cant find decent ones anywhere!)

The best part about living in a fashion student house is defo being able to steal your friends clothes, loving Emily's jacket.

How amazing is Primark Oxford Street? Well apart from the fact it is redic busy and nothing seems to be in the right place... but I got some amazing purchases last time I went. I love the denim dress, It is so easy to wear and can come out in all the seasons. I love the colour of teal jumper BUT make sure you wash it at the right heat! It was over sized now it is seriously cropped. The boots I found in sale at Forever 21 for like £12 last year. Such a good buy.

I helped my friend out for her uni project the other day. She wanted to do a 90's inspired shoot, the clothes she chose were beaut - although cold. Standing outside for an hour in November wasn't the best part. But overall it was really fun! I love doing things like this. Soon I will be more behind the camera as I have just got an internship with fashflick! It's a new website then went live last month. It has great posts on fashion news, street style and interviews.

Went to Kingston last night with my roomies, can't quite remember everything... and we all woke up drunk! not bad for a tenner though. I wore this dress which I originally got for my 18th birthday (90's theme I went as Cher). It's the first time I've wipped it out since then. It's not my normal thing as I don't really like bodycon dresses or particularly plain clothes but I love this dress. I think I got it for like 20 something pounds but it went down in the sale to £5 on ASOS, soo good.

ahhh my house mates are dragging me out again tonight! I think my liver must hate me. I had the 'what to wear' dilemma too. Then I remembered I had this dress that I got from a  independent store in Brighton. Its half new stock and half re-bought stock. This was originally an All Saints dress. They only had size 14 but if I leave it open it actually looks alright! such a bargain

I have never struggled so much to put on a dress! It took me about 15 minutes to work out which string went in which hole, so long. when I had worked it out I loved it. I think it is unique to all my other lbd's (a little revealing) but amazing never the less. Only thing wrong is that it is a bad fit, in some places too tight and others too baggy.

 

I have worn these shoes soo much, they are so covetable. I got them at the end of the summer in the sale, think they were only £40! I haven't been wearing them at uni but will soon.
