Coachella

One of my favourite, fashion based, times of year has rolled around once again, Coachella! I've been saying for a few years that I will be attending the following year...but NEXT YEAR is definitely going to be my year. So here are a few of my top style photos from this year's festival....

Superdry x Timothy Everest launch party

Tonight I attended the launch party of a new collaboration collection from Superdry and Saville Row tailor, Timothy Everest.
This was at their (amazing btw!) international showrooms on Regents Street with cocktails by The Experimental Cocktail Club, they were too delish to hang around long enough to be photographed!
This collection has something for everyone with 4 different style tribes included - tomboy, it-girl, rebel and preppy - and, as always, they have nailed the mix of Japanese design and traditional English tailoring!
Superdry is full of quirky and on-trend surprises for my style senses, and my purse strings!

 Cheers to the freakin' weekend

Dipping a shortbead biscuit in a cocktail has got to be the best idea ever!

I've even got cupcakes on my necklace, obsessed!

With the arrival of old friends to London it can only mean one thing, cocktails! We hit one of my personal favourites, Bourne and Hollingsworth in Fitzrovia, which is the cutest little cellar bar I've ever seen. I want everyone to experience it! The moment you walk down the metal staircase, it's like being transported back into the 1920's, and into your grandma's living room! Floral wallpaper, wonky lampshades, record players, a serving hatch bar and traditional cocktails with modern twists served in either teacups or jars, complete with cucumber sandwiches or shortbread on the side.

The girls and I headed out for some dinner and a few (too many) drinks this weekend to celebrate Becky's birthday. She has just moved into a new flat outside of London so we made a bit of a trip out of it! 

I found this dress in the Urban Outfitters sale last week when I was supposed to be buying Christmas presents for other people! I absolutely love Urban Outfitters but it's one of those places where I'm always a little hesitant to shop. I'm not really one to splash out on clothes all the time and as much as I would love to have a wardrobe full of O.U. it's just a little out of my desired price range, along with Topshop, so I hit the sale rail! This little beaut was originally labelled £75, reduced to £20, but when I got to the till I was told it was £10! I reckon it must be fate! 

P.S. Thinking of becoming a 'hat person', what do you think?

Shirt: Lagom

Trousers:  Zara

Shoes: Rocket Dog

Necklace: Forever 21

This is one of my favourite outfits at the moment. To me, it's the perfect way to wear a few autumn winter trends in one outfit. I'm always a fan of a shirt and this bottle green number by Lagom has the cutest little owl print, which I love. I don't think it has come out very well in the photos but the trousers have a velvet effect (but aren't velvet, thank god!) with an amazing lace overlay and gold poppers. The wedge heels in this gorgeous oriental 'opera' print are by Rocket Dog. They're actually the comfiest shoes every as the platform means they actually have a really small heel...perfection!! 

Quite looking forward to autumn now!

Now Is Good Film Premiere

Dress: Lagom

Bag: STORM

Shoes: Rocket Dog

Jacket: Selected Femme

Necklace: Shoddy and Mungo

 

Last night I was asked to attend the European premiere of Dakota Fanning's film Now Is Good. The film also features Jeremy Irvine, Olivia Williams and Kaya Scodelario (who is one of my favourites!). Take a look at the trailer for the film here. So my lucky friend Sophie and myself got our gladrags on and headed down to the Curzon Mayfair theatre last night and we were very excited to hit the red carpet, see the stars and the film! 

I totally love the dress I wore last night, which is by boutique clothing brand Lagom, as it has a retro edge and is the most gorgeous shade of teal green. Take a look at the website here to check out more of the lovely Autumn/Winter '12 collection.

 

It was an amazing night and the film is a must see, don't forget your tissues though!

 

Sunday Funday.

After what was definitely a very fun but relaxing weekend of sitting in the sun, seeing friends, going for some drinks and general chilling out, my housemate and I decided to take a trip to Camden and get some piercings. After a bit of um-ing and ah-ing we both decided to get our noses pierced and it is a very welcomed addition. I feel like I have had it done for years already!
