Lusting Lately - The Perfect Turtleneck

I honestly don't think I have ever worn a turtleneck in my life. However, I can't stop daydreaming about the perfect cropped turtleneck tank top! I have been searching endlessly in thrift stores for a turtleneck that I can DIY into my dream top and I have been coming up empty handed. Sure, I find turtlenecks, lots and lots of turtlenecks, but they are always worn out and cut awkwardly. So here is my dilemma, do I keep searching or do I cough up the money and buy the one in the second photo from threadsense?

These are the perfect shoes in my eyes, they are everything this girl could want from a pair of shoes;  flat, pointy, black, animal print, leather, textured, with a thin but noticeable bow perfectly tied in the centre. Who could ask for more?

DIY Inspiration: London Fashion Week

NYFW might be over but there are still a lot more runway shows to go. London Fashion Week is going strong and the shows so far have been amazing. Temperley London sent this amazing outfit down the runway and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. I think it is time I start practicing my knotting skills and attempt to recreate it!

Salt Air and Red Stares

For some reason red is a color I have never been drawn too. I've always thought it doesn't look that great on me and because of that I really have no red in my wardrobe. However, this editorial of Adeline Jouan for SnC's September issue has me thinking that I have it all wrong. The bright all red outfits look nothing short of stunning when played against the blues and greys of the beach. I think it is time for me to invest in some red items and go frolic around in the sand.

DIY Inspiration: Denim Shirt

I have not been able to stop thinking about this shirt and what a great DIY project it would be ever since I saw it on Pinterest. I didn't have the best of luck finding a good fitted denim shirt on a recent thrift store shopping adventure with Austere but hopefully I will find one soon and be able to attempt my own version of this bad boy.
Sorry about the recent lack of DIY posts. I promise Austere and I have been sewing up a storm and some great new posts are on there way!

Tomboy

I have a tendency to wear extremely colorful and loud clothing. I can't help it, I love wearing bright florals, stacks and stacks of huge statement jewelery, and pretty much anything that makes my short little self stand out. However, when I saw the lookbook for the new Tomboy Style book that is coming out it was a great reminder that even subtle, neutral palette clothing can make a big statement.
