Pastels and Knit

This is actually from the other day but bhad troubles uploading the pictures so Im using photobucket now and as you can see my pictures are quite a bit largere.

I really like pastels and chalks at the moment, I also like knits and croche. I am wearing a layered light denim high waisted skirt and a cotton knit top tucked in. I bought a pair of those flesh coloured stockings for those warmish winter days, so I decided to try those out. As you cann see my favorite white plimsols are present and also my cute beige granny bag. My nails are still purple from the other day and havent gotton round to taking them off (my teachers crapped on me today)I was also wearing my gold bracelet thing.. a adore it to also find a way to sneak it into random outfits!

The Colour Purple

In this picture I am wearing my sisters very comfortable red coat that I like to steal now and again when she's out for the day, it's from a shop called Young Designers Emporium. I'm wearing boots with buckles on the sides from Zoom, I got them last year but I still love them. I'm sure you recognise my Chanel bag from my older post about my bags - I really like red and navy blue together. I am also wearing small diamante Chanel earrings and a silver ring that was my grans. Last but not least I'm wearing that beautiful purple scarf.

Purple is definately my favorite colour. It stands out for me. It goes with almost any other colours (if you pair it well), it boosts creativity, it's so pretty, it's also known to be the colour of royalty and wealth :) Here's a quote that I have always liked, it's slightly random but very cute..

Influence by Marykate & Ashley Olsen

My dad bought this book for my sister and I when he went to Chicago. It's a book by Mary-kate and Ashley Olsen. It's all the influences in their lives and there some really great pictures. I just took a few photos of the cover, Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano and a few spreads. I really like these designers and the selection of pictures they used, I really like their style too.

Marykate and Ashley have a very vintage and bold look.. they stand out a lot for me with their style and fashion. It's a great coffee table book to have, also to keep on your desk or bed side table. Another few of those coffee table books are the Marylin Monroe one (also have it), Audrey Hepburn (whenever I need to feel inspired, I take it out from the library and read it), Lickshot is another book I'd love to get - so creative, and there are tons more.

I really love books and there is no better way to combine it with fashion and influence from some of the most amazing and talented people all over the world. I even consider the Vogue, British Elle and Harper's Bazar as books as they are very thick and have some great articles for those of you who don't really like to buckle down and read the old fashioned type.

My Parents Back in the Day..

Aren't my parents stunning? Well that was a while back but still.. they are still super mom and dad :) I really like the style of clothing back then and they were both pretty fashionable so that helps.

This Top

I bought this top last year in Greece, in a small place called Tolo. Me and my sister went to this small shop and found this top and another 'cheeky' top. haha. So we bought them. I customized mine slightly and cut the sides. I have always wanted a top with low seem on the sides, quite open, just like Effy on skins :) She always has these cool ones and wears a black lacey bra underneath, her top is usually black though. Anyways, I just really like this top. (My gran didn't aprove however. ha.)
