post inspired by images of 90's Ibiza.
If I could travel in time I would be a blitz kid. Or i'd visit the Balearic isles in the 90's. And I'd dance with boys with long hair who are now probably men with wives and kids and responsibilities. And greying hair and office jobs. I'd take his hand and make him promise that he'd never trade in his spangled Aladdin pants for a grey wool suit most likely picked by his wife, the wife who just doesn't compare to the love of that summer. I'd remind him that maybe it's going to be a trap and perhaps being a party boy for life might be a good thing, routine might not be all its cracked up to be? I'd love to be the camera that would capture his image and that lifestyle to remind him years later that those were the best years of his life, inspiring nostalgia and a longing for what was before.

X HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY X
To celebrate International Women's Day I decided to collate a list of my favourite mega babes that all happen to be female. As the owner of a vagina, I one day hope to be as successful, beautiful and inspirational as the following ladies, whether they be icons, fictional characters or everyday heroines.
The Style Icons:
Blondie (the original major bad ass babe)
Kate Moss (it goes without saying, really, doesn't it?)
Alexa Chung (girl power vibes)
Ashley Williams (so FunkyOffish)
Susie Lau
90's Julia Roberts (Who I wish to channel every time I dress)
Lupita Nyong'o (rocked every single awards ceremony this year)
Cher from Clueless (The best possible poster girl of the Nineties)
Brittany Murphy as Molly in Uptown Girls (sassy Ray vibes)
Vivienne Westwood
Bip Ling (major mooching vibes)
Jean Woods (as seen on Fabulous Fashionistas - still rocking it aged 76)
Julia Sarr Jamois
Audrey Hepburn (the ultimate combination of brains and beauty)
Cara Delevingne (proving to the masses that is ok to be a little bit weird)
The Sisters Haim (modern day purveyors of girl power through the fabulous mediums of music)
Those who inspire me:
My mum (mega babe,the hardest worker I know and uber talented, changing peoples lives everyday - to whom I owe life and more)
My Grandmothers (unstoppable, sassy and beautiful, brave and have been owning it since the 40's)
Leisel from The Book Thief (a tale full of love and bravery brought by a little girl)
Katie Grand (would I really aspire to be like anyone else??)
Louise Wilson (that quote)
J.K Rowling (because doesn't everyone wish they'd written Harry Potter?)
So many more....
And obviously every woman that fights every single day for freedom, equality and girl power xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

VAGABOND
A rather rapid post merely to declare my undying love for my new Vagabond platform sandals. I physically cannot contain my excitement when thinking of wearing them to see mega bodacious babes Drenge on Saturday, where they will be able to fulfill their optimum stomping capacity. (Insert ridiculous amount of sparkly heart and skull emojis here)

VERSACE VS CHANEL
Here is an outfit I created on Saturday night to attend a reunion BBQ, I took inspiration from two of my all time favourite designers; Versace and Chanel mixing them both to create a deliciously "sport luxe" outfit - all from the high street may I add. I accessorised my outfit with tiny lace frilled socks and a string of faux pearls to pay homage to the ultimate Goddess, Coco Chanel.
Bouclé Jacket - H&M
Peter Pan Collar Shirt - Topshop
Baroque Multicoloured Hotpants - Topshop
Dual Fusion Running Trainers - Nike
Frilled Lace Socks- Topshop
String of Pearls - H&M
I added a "fannypack" (oh so 90s) to the outfit to carry all my acoutrements, and as a variation of this outfit I paired up my Vivienne Westwood Anglomania X Lee Denim jacket with the baroque shorts to create a trip inducing concoction. Enjoy!

To celebrate the delicious end of exams my hero of a Daddy took me out for pizza and Gatsby. I want to solely dedicate this post to the absolutely delectable Leonardo DiCaprio, I am just totes in love with him in general but since watching Gatsby all I want to do is make collages of his beautiful angel face so here is a complimentary collage (sadly I didn't make this one myself) of him from all his finest moments #leolife

Good day. So after watching Clueless (avoiding revision at all costs) I decided to create a hit list inspired by the delicious 90s fashion of the film, combined with a hint of "old skool" Suggs (of Madness fame), probably not exactly what you were expecting to hear but brilliant all the same. Enjoy x xx
Checkerboard Dungaree Dress £13.57 // Sheinside
Long Sleeve Shirt £22 // Topshop
Pork Pie Hat £25 // Topshop
Darea Tea Shade Glasses £4.99 // Missguided
