A bit more Vintage

So today I finally finished my essay, which consisted of me sitting in the library for 7 1/2 hours… seriously not cool, my brain feels like fried mush! I’m so pleased I have got it over and done with because I needed to get it handed in early. This is because I will be missing the last week of Uni- no I’m not going on holiday, I wish, I’m attending a trend forecasting course at Central St Martins. Will blog once I have completed it to show you what it consisted of. So anyway this week is so hectic along with having to hand all my work in early, pack my room up for Christmas and GET THIS… Redrock fashion asked my friend Rosie to be the photographer and direct a shoot for the brand that will be used for ASOS, I have been asked to model this and help style- pretty scary as my mug shot will be up on ASOS but still how exciting! So before this I thought I would do another Vintage inspired post as Redrock specialise in vintage, so it may exercise my brain a little for tomorrow (baring in mind I just did a 2500 word essay on the Ford Model T- yawwwwwn).

Vintage denim shirt from Gone Retro, Gold Belt from a vintage shop in London (favourite belt I own!), Shoes from Kurt Geiger (only the best) and Leather trousers from H&M.

Yes I bullied my friend Rosie to fish tail plait my hair… absolute Beaut!
I then added my most favourite piece of Vintage, my beaded jacket. Sadly I don't get to wear it much as the beads just fall off and its pretty painful when you stand on one bare footed- ouchy! But I thought I would whip it out for fun- I got this from a place called Trashy Flowers in Northampton, but sadly the vintage shop closed- luckily they are still online.
Wish me and Rosie Luck for Tomorrow

My Jumper Fluster

When searching Brick Lane- in London for some street style to photograph I came across so many beautiful vintage shops… this is like placing a chubby-sugar loving kid in a sweet shop! I cannot resist sequins, most vintage shops I come across have sequined items- never leave me alone in the sequined section as I won’t have any Student Loan left! 
I was drawn to one of the shops as I could see some sequins shimmering at the corner of my eye. However I was here to do University work so I couldn’t fuel my addiction for too long.

I did however find a adorable oversized jumper with an explosion of sequins covering it!

I wish, I wish I could do fish tail plaits in my hair all the time, but unfortunately they turn into rat tails-fortunately my housemate offered to do one for me but I think she will regret this as I probably will make her do them all the time for me now.

Jumper paired with lace leggings from Top Shop from about two years ago.

I’m so pleased with this purchase which made my research day in London just that little bit better- comfort and glamour all in one-Winner!

Enjoy,
