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.

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!

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.

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?

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

Style Crush: Jade from Little Mix + Get the Look!

Little Mix have been everywhere this past week. Everytime you switch on the tv, open a newspaper, search the internet or listen to the radio they are promoting the winners single 'Cannonball'.
There's something which hasn't gone unnoticed though which is what the band are wearing! They are attracting the attention of the fashion industry with their quirky dress sense and how they are not only the first girlband to win The X Factor but how they won it without even putting on a pair of heels!
