sunday snap #32.

#1. Traditional sunday snap blogpost at your service once again. Not that I have much to really update anyone on or anything. Bank holiday weekend is just spent like every other weekend, nothing done what's so ever other than catching up on TV.

#2. How gorgeous is Garry "Gaz" from Geordie Shore? Seriously gorgeous! That makes me sound like such a shallow person but I'm just saying it how it is. But honestly I feel that trash tv is going to be the death of me considering it's all I watch. Completely and utterly. My Sky planner consists of Living TV's The Hunks, Geordie Shore, Made In Chelsea.... It's just badddd.

#3. This week and last (and probably longer) I have to say I've found the news about the super injunction involving Imogen Thomas and He-Who-Shall-Be-Named-Even-If-He-Shouldn't-Be hilariously funny. How every single newscaster has gone out of their way to fit the footballers name into sentence deserves a round of applause. As far as I'm concerned the guy had it coming to him, the way Imogen was hung out to dry was just terrible. Clearly he is the walking definition of what goes around comes around.

#4. I think I've actually finished clothes shopping for my holiday now.... Finally. I've spent way too much stuff but any excuse for something new i guess. I really cannot wait considering there is only 5 weeks or so to go until I'm in Ibiza! I really need the hot weather.... All this constant change and mood swings as I like to call it of British weather is ridiculous... So annoying!!

#5. I passed my first year of uni.... To be honest I have been crapping myself when it comes to results but the ones I got back I'm pleased with. You know, I put a lot of pressure on myself and sometimes I set the bar a little too high, but in all honesty I'm proud of myself and I've just got to keep going whilst trying my hardest always!!!

Saturday Style Steal #6

This week's saturday style steal goes to Mischa Barton.


Mischa takes a key trend of colour blocking and wears it well either matching other items or keeping them tonal in order to compliment the bright red shorts. I'll have to be honest when I say I'm not usually a fan of her style because to me she often screams too "try hard" and I don't like that. However this outfit is easy to steal and not only ticks the box for being bang on trend but does so without having to feel uncomfortable whilst doing so. Just be prepared to get to the gym and work on those pins.

wednesday wants #6 - kimono.

Whilst arguably not a key trend of this summer oriental fashion appears to have popped up all of a sudden and is everywhere on the high street. However when embarking on this trend one could easily take it a little too far and become a rip off geisha, maybe a tanned version. High street stores have focused on the kimono shape, and jackets are flying off shelves due to the ways in which they can easily be thrown over an outfit to update it. I've chosen to show how this item of clothing can not only be worn casually, but incorporated into a night out and update a boring office suit.


TOPSHOP
1. Red Floral Paisley Kimono £42
2. White Ribbed Vest £6
3. MOTO Vintage Wash Baxter Skinny Jeans £40
4. VIBRANT Yellow Ballet Pumps £16
5. Smooth Metal Bend Drops £8.50

This is how I would imagine wearing a kimono, casual with a favourite pair of jeans and white vest. Such a classic outfit with a twist - rather than a blazer. The floral pattern that is found on this Topshop blazer is daring without being brash. By balancing it out with a bland pallet allows the light to shine on the key piece, whilst by picking out the yellow from the jacket and matching it to the shoes the whole outfit completes a full circle without being too matchy at the same time.



MISS SELFRIDGE
1. Feather Print Kimono £38
2. Black Viscose Vest £12
3. Black 80 Denier Tights £6
4. Black Sequin Knickers £25
5. WILLOW Black Tie Up Wedge £50
6. Gold Twist Hoops £6.50

Probably way too daring, the black palette of the main body outfit allows the fresh blues of the kimono time to shine. Most likely I would never wear this but I would look on in envy at girls who actually could pull of those sequin knickers.



RIVER ISLAND
1. Black Kimono Jacket £39.99
2. Brown Peg Leg Trousers £29.99
3. Cream Polka Dot Blouse £26.99
4. Beige Slingback Court Shoes £44.99
5. Brown Leather Square Faux Reptile Bag £39.99

A kimono is something that could easily update a traditional office suit. The contrasting of the different shades complete and round off the outfit whilst the different textures, namely the crocodile bag give depth. A nice tan belt could help keep this outfit more structured when stuck around the waist to sinch it in and balance out the peg-legged trousers and loose jacket.
