Blocks of Three - Best of 2011
When I do outfit posts I normally post a photo which is made of 3 individual ones. I noticed I've got a lot from posts in the past in folders on my desktop and thought they'd look great as a post. I didn't realise how much had changed over the past year!

I thought I wouldn't add a December photo as It's still December now! I really love the outfits in some of these photos and It's interesting to see how my style has changed.
Has your style changed this year? Which outfit is your favourite?
Hope you are all enjoying your christmas holidays! x

Style Crush: Ashley Madekwe
A few days ago I discovered Ashley Madekwe. I came across her in one of my recent magazines and loved her style, I googled her name and found so many photos of her wearing the most beautiful clothes!
Then I found her blog called Ringmybell. She's an actress who's been on a few British tv shows and is breaking it in America and she has a passion for fashion and writes a fashion blog! I love how in her posts she's wearing a lot of Topshop and a lot of pairs of shorts (an addiction of mine) Ashley has the hair length I'd love mine to be and she's mixed raced too. I've found my style icon.
I love how she wears a lot of stripey clothes too, and I own the shorts she has from Topshop in the last photo on the right! I love how her style is quite casual and elegant at the same time.
*photos are from google, other internet source and from Ashley's blog ringmybell*
I love how her outfits are quite simple but look so good! What do you think of Ashley Madekwe?
Also, hope you've all had a fabulous christmas! Hope you have all got some really lovely gifts and that you've had a great day!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I don't know If I'll have the chance to post on my blog tomorrow so I thought I'd post about what I'm going to wear this christmas today! (yay!)
I love these tights and they've featured a lot of my posts recently as I think they are perfect for christmas! I'm sure all of your have a skater dress by now. I have a couple skater dresses and I've seen them in so many of them in the shops these past few months so I am sure a lot of you have one in a couple of colours. I love burgundy still right now. It's such a fab colour and goes with pretty much everything (yay!) and at only £20 It was such a bargain as you can dress it up for nightwear and down for daywear.
Skater Dress - AX Paris
Henry Holland Tights - Tights Please
Black Wedges - So You Shoes
I'm feeling christmassy now. Wrapping presents, eating christmassy chocolate and watching christmas films!
I'm sure tomorrow will be a great day :)
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Hope you all get what you want and have a great day!

My Christmas Leggings
The christmas leggings came out today! I forgot I had them until a couple of days ago. I posted about them a few times last year especially during college fashion week! I think they are fab leggings and I love these reindeers!
Leggings - Desire Clothing
Shoe Boots - Next
I love this jumper. I bought it a couple of months back in Topshop and It goes with everything and is such a nice colour too! I teamed it with these leggings as it's getting closer and closer to christmas and I'm getting in the spirit! I've been eating christmas chocolate all day and I might do some christmassy baking too! I'm just sat watching the chick flicks on tv right now whilst writing this post who else is watching The Princess Diaries?
Who's excited for christmas?

Fall Flea Market Finds
Flea markets have always been a source of inspiration for me, especially since I never know what I may find while browsing. I thoroughly enjoy meandering through the stalls, uncovering hidden gems, and chatting with friendly vendors. Inspiration may come in the form of colorful bikes, vintage perfume bottles, holiday decorations, or luxurious coats from decades past. Even if I leave

Saturday Soirées
I spent my Saturday evening hopping to various events around L.A., and the d.RA Clothing sample sale was my first stop. Hosted by a handful of popular bloggers in collaboration with Lookbook.nu, it was a high energy shopping party. With a strong mix of fall 2011 and spring 2012 clothing from dRA and Kasil Workshop, jewelry by Social Grace, shoes by Seychelles, and various snacks and beverages
My style throughout 2011
Looking back on previous blog photos, my style has changed an awful lot! Some of these outfits I still love and some of these outfits I'll never wear again. I can't say that I don't miss having longer hair but I suppose you never realise how long your hair was until you look back on photos to before you've had it cut!
These are all photos which have been taken every month of this year. I honestly didn't think I had changed much until I came across these photos!
I've become more daring and experimental with what I wear as times goes by!
These outfit photos were taken in different months of the year. I wish my hair would grow back like it was at the start of the year!
Anyway, Which of the outfits is your favorite?

Mango Merchandising
Mango's holiday windows caught my attention last month with their mix of studs, chains, red knitwear, and leopard prints. Watch this space for more holiday windows, as this is the best time of year for window shopping.
