How do you do.... Mr J. Wills?

I really do like Jack Wills, and I'm sure I've done a post on them before, however, I get so infuriated when girls wear Jack Wills wrong. This isn't me being picky, or rude about the way people dress. But I am really, because Jack Wills isn't wearing leggings and a short t-shirt where every one can see your bum, then putting the body warmer on. You can if you want, but I can assure you it just doesn't look great..... especially leggings without a top which covers your dignity. Sooooo.... I'm going to create a Jack Wills dos and don'ts list.

Autumn's Arrival

My wardrobe is a TIP. It literally looks like a bomb has hit it. Why? Because early mornings when I can hear rain thrashing my window, I'm raking for warm clothes.
Dark warm colour palettes are what I'm scouring for. I'm not a wearer of bright colours.
Anyway... as I am poor at the moment, I am trying to make the most of what I have. However, I do have one or two items on my wish list which I thought was about time to share...
JACK WILLS £198
TOPSHOP £38
FRENCH CONNECTION £95
Traditional Fairisle Snood
TOPSHOP £18
URBAN OUTFITTERS £35
JACK WILLS £39.50
Ribbed Bobble Hat
FRENCH CONNECTION £25
H&M 19.99
H&M £19.99
ZARA £39.99

TOPSHOP £40

FRENCH CONNECTION £67

PAUL SMITH £19

        
URBAN OUTFITTERS £360

I think I'm going to have to do some serious babysitting to be able to actually buy any of these.....think I might do some cutting down on the wish list. Or e-mail this blog post to Santa Clause?

Summer of beer, tents and wellie boots.

School's out babbbyyy.


(And if you're not doing anything on Monday 16th July at 6.30pm, come along to Invicta Grammar School where a few of us girls are hosting a Fashion Show for the Royal Marsden charity. There will be Pims, Wine, Non- Alcoholic fruit cocktails and cupcakes.  Only £3.00)
Anyway. Anyone festival-ing this year? I went to Wireless on the Sunday with my best friend. We were so lucky and got guest listed meaning access to VIP lounges. It was tres cool. We got ppplllastered in mud. It was grim, but we both wore the perfect outfits for the weather. I wore a little black dress, with a stripey blazer which my mum thinks looks like one of those blazers which the boat rower people in Venice wear, and also hunter wellies and thigh high socks. Polly wore tights with shorts, a cool tee and a pink blazer with wellies.
Anyway, I'm also going to a festival called Beautiful Days, which is in the heart of Devon. I'm going down with 5 other friends for 5 days. But I'm going to treat myself to a festival collection of clothes.

Anyone hit the sales hard? I've been so busy I haven't been anywhere except River Island for a couple of minutes. But I hear quite a lot of places aren't having great sales. This makes me feel a little better. Anyway, it's about a month until Beautiful Days, so I have plenty of planning time. It's just so tricky because it would be really hot, or it could be rainy and cold.... and you have to pack everything in a back pack.

It's all in the method.
