Splurge, Spend or Save - Sweat Shop

So the latest street style trend are these slogan jumpers ripping fashion houses. Seen on the likes of model sensation hottie, Cara Delivigne they've proven to be stylish and warm. Find them from designers like Brian Lichtenberg or polish duo misbhv, you can also find cheaper ones on websites such as etsy. I'll definitely be getting myself one when this month is over (trying not to buy anything for myself, really fucking hard). Be quick because they go pretty fast.

A classic blazer in a dogtooth print with contrast lapels is great to shove on with almost anything, trousers for an adrogynous boyfriend look or a black dress to take it to the office.

I like a big baggy t-shirt dress, with a pair of ultra girly heel it balances there difference between feminine and masculine.

Splurge, Spend or Save - Shades of Grey

This winter I've gone a bit crazy for all shades of grey, as in the colour not the books. However I did read those books...Anyway, grey is a great colour to wear, it goes with almost every colour and looks ridiculously chic. Not as harsh as black but not as bright as white.

Splurge, Spend or Save - Androgyny

It's been a while since i've done one of these, I've been waiting for the right time and right trend and I'd thought I'd post this before my 3 day birthday bender starts. Fashion is in a bit of limbo at the moment, preparing for fashion week for September! However the androgynous look has been around for a while but has only trickled into main stream within the last year or so. It's becoming quite the essential trend for Autumn/Winter. As much as I wish there was a summer I'm pretty sure it's coming to an end either way. Stores are now ridding of their summer wear and bringing in the new collections for this coming season. Think harsh lines, simple and tailored. I'm looking forward to wearing leather and looking all black.

I love the symmetry and the two tone. The darts keep it flattering while the leather gives it edge. A versitile piece.
