A fashion feeling

-

Sorry I've been a bit quiet on the post front lately, I've been drowning in uni work! I say that sat surrounded by fashion history books but we can look over that!
SO I have spent the last 3 days stalking Asos and Warehouse waiting to fall in love with something enough to buy. Then i realised, what is it exactly that's stopping me from buying everything I like? I mean yes, I am a poor student but in my mind if a girl can spend her invisible money at the age of 21 and not really worry about it... why the hell shouldn't she! Also throw in the argument I continuously use to my parents of "I'm a fashion student I have to look right" and I have a magical combination!
Yesterday after hours and hours my mum came up to me and simply said "Unless you really really love it, don't buy it" - Wise words.
So of course I took my mums advice and have ended up today simply buying a new pair of flats...bit of an anti-climax I know but I do love them!
So this led to me thinking, does fashion go deeper than simply liking the way something looks? Do we buy things because we think we should or do we really want them? How many times have you looked in your wardrobe and thought "Why on earth did I buy that?" and when you really  think about it did you only buy it because Vogue said you should or because somebody tweeted that it was the new in thing? 
I believe that fashion is more than fashion, it's more than shopping and more than buying what magazines tell you to buy. Fashion is about feeling and we love that feeling!

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Hey guys! So two days without blogging has been the longest I have been! I've been back down in Cardiff starting my new job in H&M. Which thankfully is really good! Lovely people and store!I really love the fact that we don't have to wear uniform either, everybody that works there is allowed to express their own individual style, which is VERY rare when you're working in retail.  So yeah, me and my best friend/flatmate/none related sister and I went down to check out our lovely little flat and chill out. As a bit of a round up I thought I would post about my beauty/interior/clothing purchases of the week. Interior wise I have gone mad this week! Living with an interior design student is perfect when it comes to me wanting to spruce up my room. Lately Next has had the most beautiful home ware. I decided to turn my room from pink and flowers ( which is the running theme through our flat) to red and cream, still fitting in with my vintage love. So here are some of
