H&M

Sorry for not posting in agess! Finally handed in my GSCE options-its all very exciting!

Anyway, have any of you seen the 'Shades of white' article in H&M's spring magazine? I found this collection absoulutely gorgeous! My mother and I spent hours in H&M searching for all these stunning pieces. Sadly, most of them couldn't be found either in the shops or online.

This waistcoat is gorgeous, and I love the customised shorts
This is one of my favourite pieces-the picture does sadly not do it much justice
My lovely mother bought me these cool trousers to share with my sister! I cannot wait till the weather is warmer so I can wear them!
The dress in the top right picture is gorgeous and I adore the shorts in the picture below. They are so cute and I can just imagine how great they would look on the beach.
I love the whites and they make the pieces look pure and simply beautiful! I love this new collection and it is very different to some of H&M's other designs. My favourites are the lace dress, white waistcoat and white woolen shorts. I am desperately yearning for all the items however!

Which pieces do you like?

Common.

Continuing on from yesterday, after the joys of Topshop we headed to the Common, armed with a camera. My friend Evie is a budding, and very skilled photographer, so we decided to take a few pictures. I am in love with the outfit I am wearing; it is simple but not many people would wear something like it! The jacket is one of my favourites. I got it for my birthday in November and have been wearing it non stop since! It is from Zara kids. I love Zara kids because some things in there are exactly the same as the adult shop but at a fraction of the price! The dress is just in at Topshop and the socks are from Topshop also. The shoes are New Look. I wanted to put some photos up that Evie took but there were so many great ones that it was hard to narrow it down to a few! Sorry if there are too many!
 This has got to be one of my favourites. It isn't exactly Vogue standard but sums up my friends and I so well.
 This is a photo of all of us. Evie, me and Amy.
 I adore this photo. I hope I don't sound too vain!


 Here you can see my outfit. Sorry if it was too dark, we were losing light.





 I absolutely love this photo. Evie has managed to make it look mysterious and spooky but still absolutely stunning.
 This is my stunning friend Emilia.

London Fashion Week

As you probably know, its London Fashion Week and as you may have guessed, this is one of my favourite weeks of the year! I went up to Oxford Street as I needed an outfit for tomorrow night and everywhere was hyped up. Topshop were doing mini-makeovers and talks about the catwalk make up. I was speaking to one of the ladies with my friend and she was lovely! She's a freelance fashion journalist and used to work at Vogue! She complimented us on our look and told us about working in fashion. All I can say is it has just made me even more desparate to do fashion! She gave me her email and told me to keep in touch as she may be able to provide me with contacts when I leave university. Also, three girls from a fashion blog took a picture of my friends and I for their blog. I feel honoured! You should check them out: http://www.make-lemonade.com/

Welcome to my world

Hello! My name is Lily and I'm a 14 year old from London. My style is different and I prefer to go for more daring outfits. I live at home with my family. My goal in life is to be a noted fashion designer or journalist. I love art, photography and urban outfitters. I hate maths. But most of all I love fashion. I enjoy going round markets for unique pieces and I spend all my money on clothes! (oh dear)!
