Inspiration Friday #1

Hi everyone!

Even though I spent half of this week helping mum to finish her Christmas shopping and the rest of the week enjoying the festive season with my family, I still somehow managed to slot in some time to browse the very addicting Tumblr and Pinterest accounts. Below are a fraction of the images that have inspired me - fashion-wise - during the past week. I hope that you get inspired by them as much as they inspired me!

If you like what you see, make sure you follow me on Tumblr and Pinterest - I use my accounts nearly every day, so you will definitely get your daily dose of fashion.

Store Spotlight • Shop Jeen

Hi everyone!

Welcome to my first Store Spotlight post, where I will be introducing you to a recently discovered store on Mondays. This week's post is all about Shop Jeen - an NYC based online store which caters for rad males and females of all ages, including babies! This amazing store stocks unique pieces (including non-fashion items) which are quite hilarious and not easily available in other stores. And that's what I mostly love about Shop Jeen, as I hate seeing a million other people wearing the same tee/shoes/jewellery as myself. 

With prices ranging from $1.00 for a pack of novelty gum to $1000.00 for a Swarovski embellished necklace, Shop Jeen surely has something for everyone. Check out what items I'm mostly loving from this store below:

KITTEN ME MEOW TEE // HUG YOUR CAT PILLOW // TINY SKULL STUDS // STASSI PERI FLOWER HALO 

THEMA TORTOISE SHELL SUNGLASSES // LIL WABBIT SOCKS // PLANTLIFE CREW SOCKS // PUNK ALICE TEE 

LADY RAINICORN HEADPHONES // DONT WORRY BE HAPPY BOOT

Do you like any of the items above? Have you ever heard of/purchased anything from Shop Jeen?

OOTD • Schoolgirl

Hi everyone!

I recently received this grey floral print pullover from Persunmall. It's not something I would generally wear, as I usually consider florals too girly for my style. But I somehow loved the purple and blue flower print, and I don't have the slightest guilt that I got it! Apart from it's pretty print, I love how soft the inside of the jumper is. Perfect for the cold winter days!

I wore the jumper over one of my favourite dresses, a gorgeous navy and green tartan dress from Mod Dolly. I know you can't quite appreciate the gorgeousness of the dress, but I'm sure you will properly see it in another outfit post. To give the outfit a bit of an edge - while also looking even more like a schoolgirl - I wore a pair of black over-the-knee socks, and my DMs.

Now who doesn’t love collaborating with other bloggers, especially if she’s the gorgeous Mariel from Polydeux. I’m not even joking, this girl is a style icon. She has the most amazing style ever! Anyways, Mariel and I came up with a list consisting of our must-have AW 13 trends. Surprisingly enough – or rather we had no doubt about this – tartan made it to the top of our list, with the Tildon Plaid Infinity Scarf and this Red Rihanna Tartan Tapered Trousers being my favourite tartan picks. While I showed you how I styled my favourite tartan dress in the above photos, Mariel styled her tartan dress in 4 different ways. Check out her post here, I’m sure you will love her too.

What do you think of our outfits? How would you style your favourite tartan dress?
