The Carrie Files #24

Le gasp! The 'Fashion Roadkill' outfit, "how on earth do you wear that?" I hear you cry. Well, New Years eve and taking one or two pieces from it is the key!



Coat: Asos £95
Top: Asos £6
Shorts: Asos £35
Shoes: New Look £19.99
Earrings: Ted Baker £25

Personally I wouldn't wear that top, but a camisole or sheer shirt would be more flattering to a general population. I adore the shorts though, I'd wear those with my black tights to really make them pop.
The colour of the coat is beautiful.

Peace, love and all that jazz. xo

The Carrie Files #23

Now we're on the cusp of December I thought I'd do Carrie's New Years Eve look, it's actually one of my favourite scenes of the movie, where she runs across the city to go to Miranda's so she doesn't have to be alone. Even though Carrie is in her jammies it's actually a nice look with the camisoles, throw some jeans on and you've got a good outfit.



Coat: Asos £85
Long sleeve: New Look £5.99
Camisole: New Look £7.99
Necklace: Anna Lou £19.99
Hat: ebay £4.99
Trousers: New Look £11.99
Boots: New Look £34.99
Bag: New Look £24.99
Gloves: Asos £20

I've always love that coat of Carrie's, it looks wonderful, it's appeared in the seasons of SatC too, so it's her recurring piece.
I chose the necklace given that it mentions the theme of the movie, finding love, finding it in your family, your friends, your boyfriend, your dog, anywhere.
The boots were hard to find though, being white, but these lace ones are lovely! They come in black too, if you aren't brave enough for white.
Though I was thinking "put some bloody socks on!".

Peace, love and all that jazz. xo

The Carrie Files

Here is the first in, hopefully a series where I take classic images of the fabulous Carrie Bradshaw and attempt to recreate her look.

A classic Carrie look.

By Carrie's timeline you can see she's engaged to Aiden at this point (engagement ring on a chain). This look is one of the many reasons I love her, simple and amazing. Her low key make up and hair allow the pink of the top and the necklaces, piled up to create a statement. In true Carrie style she's wearing a black bra with a coloured top.

I'm using New Look to recreate this look.


Magenta Longline Vest £5.99
Mini Corsage Pearly Necklace (Was £5.99) £3.50
Pearly Bead Necklace (Was £4.99) £3
Chunky Bead Necklace £9.99
Pearl and Chain Necklace £6.99
Sparkle Shell Necklace (Was £12.99) £7
Glitzy Deco Ring (Was £6.99) £3.50
Tonal Peep Toe Heels £24.99


Peace, love and all that jazz. xo

You are my Candy Girl

I'm not the biggest fan of the colour pink, but it is a really pretty colour and looks really fresh in the summer time. So here are my wants this time.

The Headband is a rather cute piece, and I'm rather loving head wear at the moment. I think the stripes are cute but also grown up at the same time. You could make a vest and jeans seem more interesting with one of these.

I may not be the biggest fan of pink, but I'm lusting over these Sunglasses, which are from Asos, but you can see they're pricey and not in my budget at the present time, unless someone would like to buy me them. They are really quirky, but classy at the same time, the arms have a sweet little star pattern on them, and I adore them.

I chose the Bangle because it has a sweet little message but really I don't think you're ever too old for Disney.

It's such a pretty Dress, I'm in love with the pattern and cut of it, it's beaded too which makes it extra special. I believe that it would look beautiful with a brown boyfriend style belt, wooden bangles and a gorgeous pair of wedges.

You know how I said Wedges just? Well these are co cute! I think they'd go with the dress (above) but would look great with jeans and a t-shirt or vest . They have that country vibe that's so in right now too.

I do have a love for e.l.f cosmetics at the moment and I think this Lipstick is beautiful. The shade is called Gypsy and it's also sheer, so definately a your-lips-but-better lipstick.

So, that's all for my wants this time.

Peace, love and all that jazz. xo

Sweet as a Plum

I really love purple at the moment, it's just such a delicious colour!

I really like the sheer shirt trend, but the blouses are, well, I'm funny with shirts, I'm of the big-bust persuasion you see, and all natural! But this one from New Look, I wouldn't mind buying in a too-big-for-me size, as it's tie fronted and would look nice over a plain vest (like pictured), I adore the rasberry/ribena colour of it too!

I really like the dress too, perhaps more going out than every day wear, but it's adorable, the orange waist band means it's perfect for the colour blocking trend.

Barry M Nail Paint's Berry Icecream. *sigh* I really love this colour, but I can't find it anywhere, it's even sold out on the Barry M website! *throws a tantrum like a child* just kidding. In all seriousness I do want this nail varnish, it's so pretty and I have all the other ice cream shades!

This camisole is so cute, yet the black lace gives it that sexy edge. I love the colour, that dusky purple is just to die for. I think it'd look nice in the daytime with jeans and a blazer, or dressed up with shorts, tights, heels and killer acessories!

I think there's something so beautiful about an agate necklace, so natural and raw yet the setting makes it so glam!

Aren't those pumps the cutest? I love the fact they're floral, and the bar across makes them look slightly sporty but oh so femmine!

Sunshine, Daisies, Butter Mellow.....

My favourite colour is yellow, so I thought I'd share my wish list of things I've seen in said colour. (A cookie to who ever gets the blog title ref.)

Ok, technically the kimono jacket is 'brown' according to the River Island website, but when I saw it in store it looked more yellow. I'm a sucker for the Orient. I love the print on it.

That Asos bag is beautiful, but I'll never buy it, it's a lust have!

I'm yet to see the New Look duffle bag in store and I've been waiting to see the bag online for a while, sometimes they just aren't as good in person as the pictures!

I really love the Primark satchel though, I couldn't find it in the Wolverhampton store though, found one on ebay, but I'll probably be outbid, if so I'll check the Birmingham store. I really wish Primark let you buy online!

Barry M is my favourite nail varnish, that one's shade is Lemon Ice Cream. I have an N. Y. C nail varnish, but I've had it for a couple of years now and it's rather empty.

I like all Thierry Mugler perfumes, they're really beautiful, I know I put the RRP on the image but if you go to Cheap Smells you can get it cheaper. I am tempted, but I've never actually smelled this version of Alien, I only know (and love!) the original.

So for now I'll leave you with spme photos of pretty yellow flowers.

Peace, love and all that jazz. xo
