Jeffrey Campbell and Wildfox Couture worked together to produce four styles of shoe this year, and finally the highly anticipated collection is available for pre-order on Solestruck. Each shoe is fabulous in it’s own right, however personally I’m very fond of the satin Ballet Platforms. Coming in pale pink or white, the Ballet Platform combines the Black Swan inspired ballet trend and the flatform shoe, whose popularity is still on the increase, perfectly, and they’re so pretty! If the Ballet Platform isn’t for you, the cowgirl-esque Dallas, the 70s inspired Lonestar, or the super fierce, lace-up Sergeant Pepper combat boot may be better suited. Ranging from $159.95 to $296.95, this collection is out of budget for a lot of us but with quality and of course style ensured, one pair might be worth splashing out on!

Although I’m not religious, for lent this year I gave up buying clothes. However, this has resulted in an influx in the number of shoes I own! The latest addition to my collection are these fabulous lace-up flats from H&M. The combination of the main nude colour and the neon yellow laces and soles completely won me over and I had to have them. At £30 they’re not a huge steal, however I don’t think that they’re overpriced either. I can’t wait to wear them!
Here’s what I’d define as ‘casual wear’, super comfy, boy-ish ‘street’ style. My predominantly pink Air Max 1s will be perfect in summer, I can’t wait to wear them with a pair of high waisted Levis shorts, but for now I’ve paired them with camel coloured jeans (Topshop), a t-shirt by The Hundreds, an American Apparel hoodie and The North Face jacket, a Stussy beanie and finally my new Jansport backpack.
As you may know by now, I run a little company called The Pocket Co. Up until now, The Pocket Co has been all about t-shirts, however tomorrow marks the release of the first collection of sweatshirts. Each pocket is hand made to order, and the base products are Gildan Heavy Blend Sweats. If you’re interested, a very limited number of sweatshirts will be dropping at on the Bigcartel at 6pm (GMT) tomorrow (13.03.12)! You can also follow The Pocket Co on Tumblr and like us on Facebook.
Check out how I’ve styled the Luxe Leopard Pocket Sweatshirt below: leggings (Primark), beanie (Carhartt), boots (Timberland).
Today I wore double Primark, oops! I finished the outfit off with my usual Topshop leather biker jacket, some new lace trim socks (also Topshop) and my black creepers. I can’t get enough of mixing leopard print with bright block colours, this time I tried it out with a bright pink, silky textured t-shirt and I love the effect.
Today I attended an open day at the University of Manchester to learn about my future course (if all goes to plan when it comes to my exams.) I wore my ASOS neon pencil skirt with a black sheer shirt (Urban Outfitters), leather biker jacket (Topshop), my Topshop studded slipper flats and a Primark skull print scarf.
And on an unrelated note I got a new backpack for college, the Jansport Right Pack:
Australian brand Ksubi have absolutely nailed statement eyewear with their ‘subculture’ inspired 2012 collection entitled ‘WAR’. The collection of twelve pieces, which aesthetically is an extension of their AW12 ready-to-wear collection of the same name, is influenced by steam punk, bikers and hip hop, and the eyewear compliments the AW12 RTW collection perfectly, for example leopard print is a common accent in both. Each of the new styles, both optical and sun, is unisex and feature a variety of luxury detailing such as high shine finishes and metals laminated with leather. Head over to Oyster to check out an exclusive, insightful interview with Ksubi co-founder George Gorrow and take a look at images from the lookbook below.
Last night I went for a Nando’s with some friends to celebrate a friend’s 22nd birthday, we were supposed to go out afterwards too (hence the more dressy outfit) but ended up too tired/skint! I wore:
White cropped t-shirt: Topshop
Black Disco Short: American Apparel
Glitter tights: Topshop
Underground Creepers: ASOS
