Photography: Band of Outsiders

I love these photos of Rupert Grint and Tom Felton for Band of Outsiders. Their clothes are really nice, but far too expensive.









Lookbook: Maddy


Maddy is a 23 year old student from poland, here is her blog, her lookbook and Chicwish which is the brand that made the adorable cream lace sweater. I love the red trousers too, must look for them in H&M next time I'm in.

Lookbook.nu

I've mentioned Lookbook before in a few posts but now I'll explain what it is exactly to those who aren't sure, simply because I was also a bit confused upon my first few visits.
Basically its a website where people can share their post pictures of their personal outfits and have them rated, or "hyped" and commented on based on how stylish they are.
It was created in 2008 by Yuri Lee in San Francisco and was inspired by one of the first street-fashion photography blogs, The Sartorialist, which is just another brilliant blog in itself and should do nothing but inspire anybody.
Apparently it's difficult for new users to get their photographs seen by anybody, although they offer the ability too link it with Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr these would unfortunately be the only people who would be able to see them. It would take an intensive amount of "networking" before any of the current most popular members of Lookbook would be able to see them.
Fortunately that has no effect on me really as I only use it to find new online shops, designers, photographic techniques and fashion inspiration.
From being a frequent visitor to this site I've discovered that the Swedish are just an incredibly well dressed bunch of people, these girls in particular.

I think I'm going to start posting one of my favourite lookbook profiles every week now on a Wednesday.

Shop Review: Anthropologie

I came across this store through lookbook. They have been around since 1992 and their first store opened in Wayne, Pennsylvania. They are a womens brand, but they also sell a great variety of home ware. Their clothes are organic and fresh and their home ware is so quirky and bright.









I recently bought a teapot and a few tumblers because I'm running low because I always drop them.

Shop Review: Models Own

Recently Models Own had a 50% off sale online and I jumped at the chance because personally I think £5 is too much money to spend on one bottle of nail polish. However I was very pleased to get 10 for £25.
The colours are so lovely!
