What It's All About

I am a woman in my early 20's, on an average salary that disappears on bills, rent, food...GONE! However, I still manage to keep on top of fashion trends; in fact it's a passionate obsession. I pound the high street in heels hunting for the ultimate fashion find. I have fashion magazines glued to my hands, a costly fixation with handbags and a belief that accessories are the base for any outfit...yes; I will plan an entire outfit around a new watch, earrings or ring! So, my reason for starting a blog? I have to share all my top tips and fabulous finds with someone! My boyfriend seems somewhat un-interested in all this. I always have something I want to shout about, so be prepared! Signing off. BB x

This Season -The Skirt

Whilst a printed skirt can look fantastic, it's probably the least flexible item in any wardrobe. Think "how many different ways can I wear this?" And the answer will be....! Although this skirt is lovely, how adaptable is it?

To avoid the unnecessary expense of a skirt you'll maybe wear a few times, try experimenting with a variety of plain coloured skirts in different shapes and styles. The high-waisted pencil skirt is still on the scene this winter. This black scalloped skirt by Miriam Ocariz is great for day into night wear as it can be styled in many ways. Wear with a crisp white shirt at the office then swap for a sparkly vest and dazzling sandals to take you through the night.



Another key skirt this season is the leather. Although pricey, well worth investment. My absolute favourite style is this pleated skirt by 3.1 Phillip Lim, seen here in my Lovely Leather Look.

It's tough chic, such a harsh fabric but a beautiful, floaty shape; you almost forget its leather you're wearing. The styling options for this skirt are endless.
For the lower budget there are some excellent leather look skirts on the high street. This one from New Look (£45) is a great alternative.

So, to sum up; the most efficient way to skirt hunt is to invest in 1 or 2 edgy yet adaptable skirts to see you all the way into S/S 10.
