Gypsy Nights

Right, because i'm a lazy arse and haven't taken any photos of my self for a very long time, i haven't got any new looks (hence why there are no new looks on lookbook haha). But, i thought i'd take this special opportunity to show you some of the ideas and inspirations that have shaped my wardrobe over the past couple of months in preparation to the abundance of "looks" that i shall be posting in the forthcoming weeks :). Think john galliano (obviously) meets stevie nicks, if you will. Now, we all know i'm a sucker for pattern.. (it is often my downfall haha) and now that it's summer i thought i'd re-vamp my wardrobe a bit and bring it up to date with the fashions that these "new-age" youngsters are wearing, whilst still retaining my personal style. Now when i say "gypsy" i don't mean "big fat"... let's get this straight before i continue! I'm thinking old fashioned, painted wagons, beads, paisley, and shawls mixed in with a hint of african Indian and a few earthy stones for good measure. This sounds like the ramblings of a crazy person, which means we're right on track for my summer style haha. I've acquired some BEAUTIFUL items over the last couple of months (even if i do say so myself haha) from various charity shops, vintage shops and high street stores. I think Fleetwood Mac is an essential band to listen to whilst reading this post by the way.. just a heads up!

Check out this SCHWEET moodboard that i made for the occasion in the uber sophisticated computer programme "paint" hahaha.... don't hate me cause i'm cool.. i kid. This is pretty beautiful though, but then again anything with Stevie Nicks, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, C.S Lewis and Philip Pullman is bound to be amazing. I spent most of my time away from the world of technology with my nose in many brilliant books, some of which included Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" and C.S Lewis' "The chronicles of Narnia". I think i'm a bit in love with both of these authors now... Philip Pullman in particular! Oooh also before i forget.. the rings which i know, if you're like me are probably lusting after, are both from Topshop. The square, blue one with detail is actually in the sale for £4.50 :)... I know, i'm tempted! overdraft.. you cause me pain, but i love you haha.

Above top: Stevie Nicks, Above Bottom: Vogue Turkey.

Anyways i'm nearing on v drunk from red wine and i have to get up at 6.45 for the gym tomorrow which is pretty impossible when you weigh up the odds haha. So i think i'm going to go to bedfordshire and post some more shiz tomorrow. So for now. N'NOIGHT!

Lots of love

Heather
