HOH's Here!


It's finally the 31st May!
After counting down the days until the release, attempting to live in converses which are falling apart, House of Hollands collaboration with Superga has come out and we are not disappointed.


I went for the crochet mid tops, but the other designs were just as good and now i am just counting down the days until they are delivered (even longer because of the bank holidays) and i will then begin flaunting them on this blog

P.S. I will soon start posting photos of daily outfits when i finally start leaving the house because at the moment i have just been wearing palm tree shorts and a Courteeners t-shirt. How Boring!

Sunday Style Icon: Jean Seberg


Jean Seberg was an actress most well known in the sixties.


 Jean Seberg played Patricia Franchini in Jean Luc Goddard’s 'nouvelle vague' Breathless.
The sixties fashion in the film is very simple and chic.


Wearing trilby hats, stripes, flat pumps, skinny cut trousers and oversized sun glasses with an iconic 60's cat eye flick and pixie haircut, she portrays 60's fashion and style at it's best.

Sunday Style Icon: Clueless


When most people think of the 90's they probably think that the fashion is terrible. Well, most of it was, unless you look into some american film and TV with pleated skirts and crop tops.


If you look closely at things such as Clueless, My So Called Life and Sabrina the Teenage Witch you'll see that the preppy style with grunge touches looks so fashionable and relaxed. If you want to be 90's inspired you can't go wrong with velvet.

Sunday Style Icon: Bebe Zeva


Bebe Zeva is an American fashion blogger who knows how to work vintage clothing.


She shows us that you don't have to stick to one style and that you can dress differently every day.


Another thing she proves is that minimalism sucks and you should wear as much layers and jewellery as you want.

Head Over Heels in Shoes


Before:
£8 Brogues from Primark


After:
£8 brogues from Primark covered in an old charity shop skirt (obviously not the whole skirt)
Its so easy, I wanted to show a clip from when Gok Wan cover a pair of heel because he makes it so much easier than my way.
It transforms a pair of shoes which everyone wears at college. I just need the weather to change because I am so scared to wear them if theres ever a chance of rain.
If these cheap shoes ever fall apart I will cry or buy another pair of shoes and redo it, which ever is easier.

Try a Little Tenderness


I've Been watching quite a few John Hughes films lately because i am bored with serious films and last week I watch Pretty in Pink. It was so good even though the dress was so disappointing at the end.
I think the best part of the film was when duckie danced to Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness. They make the song so powerful. My brother has always loved Otis Redding and I didn't really see why but now I do.
I recommend watching Brat Pack films, they are so 80's but don't watch them from a fashion perspective because you will be disappointed.
