a whole new love affair

I am in love. After watching the beautiful Lexi on good old you tube, i have discovered a whole new planet that i was not aware of. Please don't question me how, or why i was oblivious of this marvelous world of amazingness but i am more than excited to say the least. In her latest video that i will add to the bottom of this post, she introduced me to 'NASTY GAL'. Now, i am certainly not as some would say rollin' in the dollar, in fact i currently do not have a job and am in between college's there for i do not have a dime to spend. I was going to mention that as soon as i get my hands on some well earnt money it will more than likely being going on something or other from this lovely website;but after naively getting myself all hot and bothered over all the lovely items, i managed to of course skip the price side of things until just now. Being the Charity shop, ebay lover that i am..i was in a deep trance of horror. After a long time of purchasing item after item at the highest price of 7 smakeroons (£8.00 to be pushing it), it was natural for me to be less than amused to find that i could be paying up to 80 dollars on a measly crop top that i can more than likely find in a charity shop and make myself for a fraction of the price. None the less, i shall still oogle over some of the lovely looking items that they are selling, and also let you lot have a peek but i assure you that a lot of the garments on that website are easily made with in reason. and maybe, i can show you all how too also. Of course, if you have the money to splash and can justify these prices, then you are extremely lucky i tell you and i would be jealous. But, for now i think i can make do!

Unfortunately, i was un able to use photo's from their webiste. However i have managed to find a few images of a few girls wearing a handful of bits from the brand and most definitely make it look good. Enjoy!







I think you will all agree on how beautiful these things are, although they don't capture the grungy, edgy look that i'd like to show you. I am totally head over heals with those amazing sunnies, very vintage esque i must say. This post if a very big miss match of opinions of the website, and could be i suppose very controversial matter but by no means am i telling you that it would be a sin for you to buy items from here. I just personally am not in a position to be able to purchase such lovely things and can't really justify spending 100 pounds on something so materialistic. I like to appreciate things not so pricey and a little jagged round the edges and make them lovely too! I'm sure after reading this blog post, you will notice that i do like to ramble, but i really seem to be getting into this blogging malarky and have rather enjoyed myself taking my mind of things and writing about things i love.

Saying all of this, there is certainly one thing in particular that is available to purchase that i will justify buying for the price they are, are the ever famous Jeffery Campbell Lita's. Unless you have been living under neath a rock recently, you will know what i am talking about. I however, am still to add these to my wardrobe and simply because i just cannot afford them, but if you can i would snap yourself up a pair right away. They seem to be all the rage at this current moment in time and i have no problem understanding why. Being extremely unique and surprisingly versatile they seem to give any outfit a instant edge and unique 'je ne sais quoi'. Even though they may not be to everyones taste and require a certain attitude to wear with them, i would say that they are a fantastic investment to anyones wardrobe. I'm almost certain you could easily grow to love these amazing shoes and heck, you can work on the attitude right? They may even bring in a little money in 50 years time!






I personally would pair these with high waisted shorts, socks and any top tucked in. Tassle crop tops, or a vintage 'mumsy' floaty blouse would go perfectly with a pair of camplells..or, alternatively a simple summer dress, tied in at the waist with any belt worn either in the day, or in the night time, for both looks. As i said before, these are some mean versatile shoes!
This is just my personal style and by no means am i telling you how to dress, these are just some ways that i would wear them.

Any who, i'll leave you guys a few links for you all to poke your noses into!
