She'sBackAndSheBroughtBling

Vintage Dior Bag, Converse and the rest, H&M
Oh my dear blog, how I keep abandoning you! I'm very proud of this little fashion freezone of mine, where I can write whatever I want (within reason) and just have an outlet for some of the creativity within me! But, it has been difficult to take the time and make the effort and I won't make any promises but I will keep the window for blogging open and maybe a small breeze will bring the joy back on a regular basis. 
Today at least, I'm back for a visit!

So, I've graduated. Que strano! And yes, I have changed zip codes. For the next three months I will be living in Perugia, Italy studying Italian, enjoying incredible food, fabulous company and learning how to walk in heels on streets where, maybe a few historical personas but mostly, regular people of another era have wobbled before me! 

As you probably know by now, I try to bring fashion with me wherever I go and I try to find budget versions of fashionable pieces created by the blue-blood of the fashion world. My latest shopping excursion brought me to a tiny mall outside the periphery of my city. A Miu Miu iPhone case for my NGH-wish list (Never Going to Happen) found its doppelganger at H&M and also its way around my neck where it has dangled and caught the sunlight for the past week. Bling it on, loves! Xx

Cannes Je t'aime

Okay so I know there's been quite a few outfit pics lately but I just had to share this one! For two reasons:

Firstly I'm wearing a tee that says "Cannes Je t'aime" like a real tourist. However I do have an excuse. Last week when I was in Cannes out luggage got lost in the way and I was stranded without any open shops and only able to wear my airplane outfit, oh fun times right? So I went to a tourist shop and purchased this shirt because it was the least dreadful thing in there. Last night I found it though, and I thought it would be a waste for it never to be used! So I wore it.

Second of all, this is the first outfit EVER where I am not wearing anything from H&M and I felt it had to be documented. So here it is.

Heels, skirt, Zara
Leather jacket, Massimo Dutti
Bag, Dior

A Definite Eye-Opener

Have you ever heard of MissCosmetica?
Mia, a friend of mine, is actually the founder of the company that sells fake eyelashes at a reasonable price and since I've spent this past week in Cannes on the French Riviera, I felt it was the perfect time to try them out! I've actually never worn fake eyelashes before so I was a bit nervous about how it'd look on me but I really liked it! It brought with it some dramatic flare and it didn't look too over the top at all which was one of my concerns. Sometimes it's fun to take the normal make-up to a new level!

I just saw that the Swedish magazine Posh featured the lashes and I felt really proud!
You find Mia and can buy the lashes on:

The name on everyone's lips...

...is currently the lovely Lana Del Rey. I've adored the singer ever since the sultry tones of 'Video Games' opened Prabal Gurung's show at Fashion Week. Her sense of style and consistant vintage feel has made her the new muse of the fashion world and this week it was announced that she will be the new face for H&M this fall which I'm very excited about! Check out her style below and simply get inspired!

Last Night's Adventures

I'm in Bastad at the moment, watching tennis and despite the rain my friend Amanda and I are having a blast! Last night we both went for the printed pant-look even though we put our own individual touch to it.

I'm wearing Steve Madden patterned leather pumps with an all H&M ensemble and Amanda is wearing Zara pants and blouse, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and Rizzo pumps.
