Perched atop a stool at a Starbucks counter with her laptop and giant venti skim-vanilla-latte is StyleStruck; READY TO BLOG! Haha. I fancy myself as a super hero blogger! (Well I am wearing a gold studded belt…)
A little photo shoot I put together last night with visions of running around London in the Springtime in my head:
Way back when I was a student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and studied Fashion Design and Technology. These pants were one of my first year projects! We were given the pattern and had one class to complete them. You can’t see the pattern in the fabric very well, but these trousers are navy with a royal blue pin-stripe. At the time I thought they were just the most hideous things ever, I mean can you imagine high waisted pants WITH pleats!? Now I adore them, now that Stella McCartney and Chloe are all about the high waisted mens’ style trousers. Wearing: white chiffon blouse from Sirens, vintage gold scale belt, DIY trousers and Zara heels.
Note to M.E.L.: All your galavanting in London Town has made me nostalgic for all things proper and old-man style. Maybe I’ve been watching too many old movies! And YES I’d like you to bring me back a sequined union jack dress! I don’t care if the back is see-through! Brilliant.
Gorgeoouuss vintage 1930s purse!! This is definitely for art rather than use, it’s already starting to fall apart.
Zara has got to be one of the best places to find amazing and reasonably priced shoes! These blue suede heels were a bit of an impulse buy on the way to work one morning last summer. I think maybe my impulse buys are some of my best purchases, it means the item is too gorgeous to leave at the store and I must have it at once. Generally these pieces become favourites in my closet. (Although I do try not to play favourites with my clothes and shoes, it’s just not fair.)
Ta ta for now! Time for tea.
Impulse buys are my favs!
