Vogue Patterns Inspiration

Well seeing as my Sunday inspiration this week was to do with pattern mixing and the stunning Vogue Patterns Shoot, I thought I should try out some pattern mixing of my own and try to do my own version of the Vogue shoot (not sure I like the photos that much though? What do you think, honestly?)

Majorly manic carpet: O'Neills!

Jacket: Silk Trader, China

Dress: New Look via Cardiff clothes swap

Top: F+F Tesco

Boots: Unknown

Belt: Matalan (off another dress)

Bag: China

Necklace + bracelet: China

Ring: Vintage via my aunt

Tights: Random (probably primark)

This is my silk jacket I bought in China, the only piece of clothing I bought actually!! It is made of pure silk and the fabrics was all hand made in the factor we went to. It is really stunning quality. I didn't go for a colour that was too bright as I thought I would get more wear out of the black and silver one, although I did try on a red one and a turquoise one too.

The bag also came from China and is a traditionally embroidered bag of one of the tribes (although I don't remember which one now)

Hope the start to your week was good, mine was fine, uninteresting. Just running some errands; post office, food shopping, library, the usual. But this week I am looking forward to a house party tonight and dinner with the rents and Jon's Aunt and Uncle on Thursday. You'll get some outfit photos from those hopefully. Anyone else got anything interesting planned for this week?

Random Black Tights

Primark Blur Feather Hairclip

This top actually turned out to be a bit of a challenge. Its not so easy to match up with stuff due to its length. Its kinda tunic length. It doesn't look right layered over a skirt and is a bit to long over shorts, but I think I managed to work it tucked in and covered by the jacket in this outfit. As long as I don't wanna take the jacket off! lol!

So thats Day 19 and 20 done just 10 more to go!

30 for 30 challenge - Day 6

So here is day 6 of my 30 for 30 challenge. Sorry it's late. Yesterday was Jon's birthday so we spent the day at Alton Towers, one of the UK's biggest theme parks. Its was great fun, but a very long and tiring day so didn't get round to posting anything. These photos were taken on Saturday in Neath Abbey Ruins. Jon wanted a bit of practice and the weather was so nice we thought we may as well take full advantage of it. Sorry for the photo overload but he took lots that I liked, and Im never very good at editing!

Have just realised my entire outfit is from Supermarkets, minus sunglasses, bangles and necklace! How the world of shopping has evolved.

A bit of climbings was in order for these. The ruins is perfect for this kinda childlike play.

Marilyn Moment!

My 30 for 30 seems to be going fairly well so far. Aren't having too much trouble putting together outfits, yet! This outfit is a nice summery one to help me keep cool on the very warm day.

I have 2 more outfits ready to post but shall keep them till tomorrow. Plus the final of my '7 Wonders' Feature will be up tomorrow.
