Have You Ever Wanted To Just Rob Someone's Full Wardrobe?



Well, as the title would suggest this is my latest fashion wise problem. I have found a new style icon, and her name is Sophia Sassoon. She is a new star on E4's Made in Chelsea, and I must give props where they are due, and they are certainly due in this case.

I've done some research, and found out that she is an actress and model (so that may possibly have something to do with her impeccable sense of style). 

The only way I can describe her look is chic and sophisticated. From what I've seen on the show Sophia always wears dark or neutral colours (but her twitter picture shows her in bright red @sophiasassoon). She dresses up her dark colours by adding glamour so it doesn't feel drab and depressing like a funeral everyday. 

Sophia is wearing a trend that is very much now #luckyforus. So there are many places to get her look. ZARA would be one of the best places to go as they are very on the sophisticated all (or nearly all) black look (but when going in ZARA I tend to avoid looking at prices since when I do I tend to usually have to put down whatever it was I was looking to see the price off). So other places that are good include: New Look, River Island, Next, Matalan and I even found some nice pieces in Primark (I don't know why I'm acting surprised they have some really good stuff in there, well sometimes). With their black leather- sleeved jumpers, trenches and coats, also wet-look trousers and Chelsea (no pun intended) boots are also a great place to go is Topshop. Another way to help stay with this look is plain blouses with stand out jewellery pieces (like Peter Pan collars and studded necklaces).

Fur And Studs: The Best Way Of Glamour

Hello people! I do apologise for my lack of writing skills (as usual I will blame school). How are we all and what lovely things have we been spending our income on? Well, let me tell you mine: Furs (not real ones) and Studs. Which as you could probably tell by the title is what this little piece is about.

Have you all seen (and if you've been into Topshop then you definitely will have) these fur scarf's? They are amazing because it saves you buying a new jacket with a detachable collar, instead just buy the collar and save yourself some money. Then you can add it to all your jackets (or the ones it matches with). Loaaaaads of stores are picking up on this (as they rightly should we are in a recession) and there are many to choose from. Topshop (yes I know I already mentioned) are selling long fluffy fur collars that could pass for scarf's  But H&M are doing  fur collars in a Peter Pan style that would go well with jumpers and blouses how fetch. But as always the most varied (and probably cheapest) place to go is eBay, I really don't know what we did before it, you will have to trail through many pages to find a gem, but when your item comes in the post its usually worth it.

On to the next topic: studs. I know your probably thinking that I'm terribly late as this is a trend that has been going on all summer and autumn, but this is different. I have you thought about getting the studs yourself and adding them to clothes you already have (if the answers yes just act surprised at my discovery okay?)  The places to look are River Island that sell them in stores in little packs or of course eBay who sell 100's for and couple of pounds, I just bought some for my army jacket and when they arrive I'll show you how it goes.
