Emma

Shirt - H&M
Jumper - Vintage
Shorts - Made herself 
Shoes - Vans


This is my friend Emma. I met her for coffee yesterday and a trip to the gym, although we spent more time drinking coffee than we did at the gym. Emma studies fashion at Grays, which is only a hop skip and away from the business school. Emmas style is quite similar to mine, so much so that we both ended bringing the same top to wear to the gym. I love her style and I often ask to borrow some of her clothes. 


 Dress - Topshop
Cardigan - Topshop

Dress - Topshop
Shoes - New Look
Flower - Accesorize


I found out this week that I have to chance to go to London Fashion week in February with my course. I'm soo excited! Some of my flat mates (how are on the same course) and I have already started planing what we're going to do. 

Also yesterday while Emma and I were wasting more time before we finally had to go to the gym we went for a quick look in Green 64 which is a tattoo parlor. My parents gave me money to get a tattoo for my birthday which was back in June but I've been putting it off and off until yesterday. The plan was to just go in for a chat   and I ended up coming out with an appointment for Wednesday the 23rd, Thats a week today!  So this time next week I'll have my first tattoo. Its really exciting but I'm not looking forward to the pain.

Florence Welch









Ok so I don't actually know her but I thought I should add a little post about my icon, plus I'm trying to avoid writing an Advertising report.

Florence Welch is my icon. I love her music and her style. Shes dyslexic and has managed to achieve so much in her career already. At 25 she has had 2 top five albums, been a muse for Gucci, preformed on the Channel runway, won 15 different awards in total. I'm also dyslexic and seeing everything that she has done motivates me to struggle on, Is she can do it why can't I? Her style is so different from anyone else in mainstream music and she is a great lover of vintage, possibly a leader in the rebirth of vintage fashion. A lot of my style is inspired by Florence, I want to be her really.

 I got her new album "Ceremonials" as soon as it came out and I haven't been able to stop listening to it. My favorite song has to be "No Light, No Light" The song give me goosebumps whenever I listen to it and her voice is incredible. I watched her preform the song on "Late with Jools Holland" and It was amazing, the fact that the performance was live astonishes me. Shes just incredible at what she does. Hopefully one day I'll get to meet her  and confesses my love to her in person.

Claire - My Weekend in Glasgow


Skirt - French Connection 
Jeans - American Eagle
Shoes - New Look



This is Claire, she goes to Glasgow uni so I don't get to see her that much. However i does mean that when I get the chance to run away from Aberdeen and have a cheeky wee trip to Glasgow I get to go SHOPPING! 
This trip was no exception, for the first time I went vintage shopping. I love vintage clothes and vintage inspired clothes but I've never been to actual vintage shops for my clothes I've always just stolen them from different members of my family. Claire took my around all the vintage shops in the West end of Glasgow and I managed to find some great things like This fur coat. It only cost me 35 pounds which I thought was great! its make out of sheep skin and its so warm as well. 



We went for a vintage break at a restaurant on Byers Road called "Cup" Where we had some Afternoon tea. Possibly the best idea of the whole trip. Just look at all the cakes!
Bottom Layer - sandwiches 
Middle Layer - scones with jam and clotted cream
Top Layer - cupcakes, fruit loaf, mini lemon curd pies and blueberry mouse cups

I managed to sneak in some high street shopping as well but I didn't buy anything interesting only some clothes for work.
I love Glasgow and I'm so sad I'm not there anymore but I had to Aberdeen and start my mountain of coursework which I may have not started yet. I've got a fun week a head.

So this is my sister Emma, shes 13 and runs around like she owns the world. A while back because my family went to Paris for a couple of days Emma told me that I have no fashion sense and that she dresses better than I do, considering I'm studying fashion I found this hard to believe. That is when I set a challenge. A Fashion Off! Every day we were away we had to dress well and get pictures taken as proof. You may be wondering why there are no pictures of me  from this fashion off, well its because she was right. She does dress better then me but I'm also really unphotogenic so most pictures we took I was pulling an odd face something I get from our mum. Here are some more pictures of Emma from the fashion off.


Trousers- Tesco
Top- New Look
Sun Glasses- New Look
Beads- H&M
Necklace- Claire's accessories 

Cardigan- Mums
Lace shoes- Debenhams

Emma spends the majority of her money on clothes. Its unreal how many clothes she likes to hang on her floor. She loves Playsuits and whenever I go home she seems to have acquired 3 more. 

To finish off here is a picture of my brother, Mum, Emma and I beside the Eiffel Tower. Its a prime example of the faces my mum pulls.

Me



 This is a picture that my sister took for me a couple of weeks ago while we were on holiday in Paris. I apologize for the angle of the photo, (my sisters 13 and going through the stage of wanting to take every pictures at a funny angel) unfortunately I've been unable to take a good picture of myself lately.
The cardigan I'm wearing was my grannys from Marks and Spencer over 20 years ago and it is the most comfortable piece of clothing I own. She gave it to me earlier this year after I was admiring at my little cousin's christening. I'm so glad she gave it to be because I'm definitely going to continue wearing this winter. If Aberdeen is as cold as it was last year, I'm going to need it!
