Believe it or not my outfit has nothing to do with you

With so many 'celebrities' acting as our style muses at the minute I think it's difficult for a girl to know how she should dress. But when you think about it more why are there actually any rules? Don't get me wrong I understand that girls can be bitchy and can pick apart another girls outfit within 30 seconds of catching a glimpse. But when you think about it some of us (myself) have loved clothes since we were young enough to steal our mums heels and play dress up by making a dress out of our duvet covers and if you're like me your love for fashion hasn't faltered since. I have spent 3 years studying Fashion and 9 years working various different retail jobs just as an excuse to be around clothes before I finally crack my dream job.  The Fashion Industry is one of the hardest to crack. We all know it.  It's long hours, hard work and we get told that we WILL NOT reach our dream job until we are well past 30. We do however get told to embr...

An Education on Fashion

I only really noticed Carey Mulligan when I saw her amazing role in one of my favorite films An Education. I then recognised her for her stunning hair. She is one of the very few famous women in the world who consistently has short hair and wears it with real confidence. In the style stakes Mulligan never really stood out to me until the last 12 months. Whether it's her new husband or her growing fame, Carey has certainly got the swing of being stylish. So below I have chosen some of my most loved looks worn by Carey, I am truly jealous of how naturally style comes to her. A Celine tote combined with a simple sun top and maxi skirt, perfect casual chic. My personal hair inspiration. Here her short blonde crop looks perfect combined with 60's inspired make up. Simple parisian inspired clothes work well alongside her chic pixie cut. Colour blocking with 3 different colours here works surprisingly well. Who would have thought that red, yellow and blue would wo...

To crop or not to crop?

Ok so I know that there are not many celebrity women who willingly have their hair cut short. Majority of the drastic hair cuts are down to roles or parts that they have to fill for their careers. Natalie Portman shaved her hair, Cameron Diaz....endless amounts of beautiful stars sacrifice their hair for their jobs. However, there are a select few who choose to have their hair short. I had previously read an article where Michelle Williams had admitted to having her hair cut short because "Straight men hate women with short hair" This was as a memorial to her former partner Heath Ledger as he was (apparently) the only male she knew that loved women with short hair. In my opinion (as a pixie cut wearer) short hair is a brave move, it took me at least a year and numerous pictures to finally make the move and have the mop chop. And now? I would never go back. Sienna Miller, granted her main reason for cutting her boho locks was for her role as Edie Sedgwick in Fact...
