Beyonce covering Dazed and Confused

I can't believe I just came across these photos of Beyonce, they are so good. They are by Sharif Hamza.

Photography: Sky

Recently most days are grey and cloudy, but it clears up just before the sun goes down every night and makes the whole flat look orange and pink, it's so nice.


Recipe: Southern Chicken Wraps

Not sure which looks best, definitely not Jethro's, they tasted really good though.

No real reason for this post, just felt it had to be shared.

"Here, I find gingerbread men heavy fascinating" - Friday 26th August at 12:25am


Moshin Bukhari, ladies and gentleman.

Just found these on my hard-drive

From one of our few summer days this year.

Not sure what took me so long.

I've just realised that I dont have a Facebook page for my photos and I should probably make one.

I reluctantly but thankfully watched Fast Five last night, it was surprisingly good movie for many reasons, but mainly because Michelle Rodriguez wasn't in it. I cannot believe they are squeezing another one out though, not sure if it's necessary.

Find: Macbook Bags.

I just came across these on etsy, I've definitely just started my christmas list.




Things To Watch: This Guy.


I can't believe how much I've grown to love some of the characters on this show. It's so entertaining and hilariously edited, it's excellent television. Although it got quite difficult to watch after the first season because some of them, mainly Mike, became painfully too aware of the cameras, but Pauly D and Snookie are timeless.
I can't wait to see Ronnie smash Mike next week!

Things To Watch: Otis

A brilliant song and video, nice one Spike Jonze.

Shop Review: Wildfox Couture

Wildfox is an American vintage-inspired women's knitwear brand.
Most of their clothes are very expensive, but a few items are probably worth saving for.


They also just brought out one of the nicest swimwear collection's I've seen.



My day off.

Today is my last day off before loads of over-time at work and going back to college on the 29th.
I woke up around 10, had some coffee and watched an episode of the O.C (Rachel Bilson will never play another character better) and then got lost for a few hours in some of the charity shops in the southside.
I managed to find a few beauty's, have a look!



A silk coral blouse which is a perfect match with my coral Barry M nail polish!



This brown printed lambswool jumper. It's incredibly soft, the first jumper I'm sure won't be itchy on bare skin. I can't wait to wear it this winter.



I wasn't completely sure on this when I brought it home, It's very tribal meets Fresh Prince. But with a waist belt, I really like it.



I actually didn't spot this, my flatmate Jamie did and I'm glad. It's so comfortable and light on.



This was probably the best find though, a size 8 wool and cashmere trench coat from Jenner's in Edinburgh. 
It's so much warmer than any coat that I've ever worn from Topshop or Urban Outfitters. The quality doesn't compare either. I'm in love with it.

I won't say how much each item cost individually but it did accumulate to £13 altogether. Yeah, that's right, £13. Sometime's it depends on when you go in, but thrift shops are always worth a look.

(I should mention that my good friend Martin took some of the photos of myself wearing the clothes, as he was there and hasn't yet returned my tripod! Check out his flickr here, he's pretty darn good)

Shop Review: Romwe

I literally just came across this website in the last few days whilst lost for hours in Bleubird's blog.
They are an online new/vintage clothing and accessories store based in Nanjing, China.
They stock all their new items in only one size, so you have to know all your measurements etc before purchasing. Vintage items are non-returnable also.
However, their prices are more than reasonable for some really nice pieces.
They seem extremely popular with fashion bloggers and they even have a page for all their favourite current fashion bloggers too which is defiantly worth a look.

These are my recent favourites:
