fashionista du jour. by aindrea emelife

dove grey

welcome to 2010.

i'm actually pretty excited for this year. it marks a lot of things.the start of a new school, more projects and advances in my career and a hopefully more dedicated approach towards blogging.

i think i can safely say i cannot wait to see what happens, and this little gem will be with me all the way.

so, a couple of days ago i braved the cruel temptress that is the boxing day sales and picked up something i've had my eyes on for ages. this perfect dove grey jacket. i mean, black leather jackets, navy leather jackets, dark grey (even) leather jackets have become a bit blah in my opinion. so when i laid my eyes on this milky, dove-like shade of grey i swiped it off the rack and hurried to the till.

what do you think of it? i cant wait to give my sickly sweet outfits a feminine - yet edgy - kick! my wardrobe colour palette is being dominated by coral, nude, dusty pinks and pastel colours, and i have so many ideas of how to wear this jacket! i hope my lacey, pearly, frilly filled clothes can cope when this bad boy moves into The Wardrobe.

i'm clearly way too excited. expect a post coming up soon about nail colours (hint - you may be able to spot which colour i'm head over heels for at the moment) and other purchases i've indulged in so far.

i have mock examinations for the next two weeks and i'm surrounded by notes, revision guides... all that stuff. wish me luck!

Fashionista Du Jour 2.0?

Pardon the dust! I've been cleaning up the layout a bit recently. The old layout was far too squished so I opened it up so I now have space for nice, big, pictures and everything just looks a lot prettier. Do you agree?

It's not THAT much of a change, don't worry gang. More like a spring clean... in winter.

But with a new layout and a new year approaching I feel a lot more inspired to post! Happy days :) 

I'm also getting really bored of my current header, so if any graphically-skilled people want to have a go at recreating the header be my guest! Bare in mind I do like the blog title font, but apart from that go crazy! Like edgy, pretty, lacey, punky style, I suppose. My email is in the sidebar so you can sendme them there. Oh, and I'd like it to be the same size as it is now. I dont mind if its a bit taller than it is, but same length.

Also, what would you guys think if I changed the blog name? I don'tknow. Hmm....

Anyway, expect a blog post later about a new purchas I'm really excited about! It's a wardrobe staple, and so so perfect. Can you guess? You won't have to wait long!

Toodles,

vintage lace, cosy cardigans and winter fun

HIIII. So the winter holidays are in full swing, London actually had some snow (I know, right?!?!) and I'm finally getting into the christmas spirit! Although, I'm going to have my head in the books a lot this holiday, I got pretty stoked when I woke up to a thick (well, thick in london standards) blanket of snow covering everything in sight. so pretty :)

I broke up from school this tuesday! End of term = mufti days. Lovelovelove 'em. So here's what I wore:

Slouchy grey cardigan with mini blue hearts: River Island

White vest top: Gap

Peach lace skirt: New Look

Scarf on River Island Bag: Vintage

In between revision and gazing at the snow I've been happyhappyhappy about the return of one of my favourite shows, The Beautiful Life! It showed on the CW for two episodes but because no-one knew about it (everyone was obsessing over something called Vampire Diaries?) it got cancelled. Boo. But now we can alll watch it worldwide as they'll be posting an episode on Youtube every week. The first 3 are already up so go watch!

Come on, Elle Macpherson, Mischa Barton and cameo appearances from the likes of Nina Garcia, Zac Posen and Richie Rich? What more could you want?!

>>>CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE <<<

Here's a brief synopsis & trailer:

The Beautiful Life follows a group of young models sharing residence in New York City. It chronicles their lives as they struggle to make it-or in some cases make it back- to the top. Follow them as they learn about ambition, passion, friendship and love in a world that only looks beautiful.

Spread the word so it can be comissioned for another season. Post in the comments what you think!

Did you like the outfit? What television shows are you obsessing over this Winter?
