OOTD : Suede

Jacket - Vintage (Marella)

Jumper - Zara

Skirt - Asos

Bag - Longchamp

Shoes - Buffalo

Scrunchie - American Apparel

Tights - H&M

Earrings - Urban Outftters

Have we completely dropped off the face of the earth? No. Despite the fact that we've pretty much gone AWOL over the past few weeks/month, this is not due to laziness or forgetfulness, but instead the truck-load of work we've been bombarded with in preparation for mock and A-Level exams. 

Because of this, we've had to drag out an old OOTD to share with you, so the style/colours my not apply as much as we approach SS16 (though we'll only stop wearing black when they make a darker colour...)

OOTD : The Welcome Collection

Coat - Motel Rocks

Jumper - Zara

Jeans - Topshop (Joni)

Shoes - Doc Marten

Bag - Longchamp

***

A couple of months back I (Arianne) went to the Ann Veronika Janssens exhibition at the Welcome Collection in Euston. The name may or may not mean anything to you but this was basically the room with the pretty pastel smoke which loads of people probably Instagrammed about...

I don't normally go for an outfit this cutesy but was feeling like wearing creamy colours, shiny shoes and doing my hair á la 90s Gwen Stefani today. May I also mention that it was bloody freezing this day, so I was able to bury my head into the neck of my jumper to stay warm. Yes, I did get a few weird looks whist sinking my head into this cylinder of wool, but there's nothing wrong with looking like a sartorial turtle...

OOTD: Portobello Road

 Dungarees - Rokit (Vintage)

Shirt - Urban Outfitters

Earrings - MyAsho Market (link)

Shoes - Adidas (Superstars)

Backpack - Longchamp

Sunglasses - Jeepers Peepers

***

Today I (Arianne) decided to head down into Notting Hill with a friend to wander about Portobello Market. It made a difference from the usual visit to Camden Town - body jewellery was replaced by brooches and selfie sticks by silverware. Of course I can not even discuss Notting Hill without mentioning The Hummingbird Bakery (see pictures below), which sells some of the nicest cakes known to mankind - walking in the shop was as if there were angels dancing in your nostrils (yes this is a hell of a weird description, but it was GODLY). We also went to a place in Soho for lunch called Herman ze German, which you should check out if you have a love for Schnitzel and all things Wurst.

I always wear my dungarees and am actually surprised that they have only just made an appearance on the blog as I practically live and breathe vintage denim, and love them as they remind me of the 90's, which (style-wise) seems to be the best era out there. The day was, as British summers go, not too warm but just about bearable, so I could just about get away with these clothes sans outerwear. As the look felt a bit 'meh', I topped it off with Nars '413 Blckr' lipstick, and these earrings from a brand called MyAsho Market, which I am in love with due to the fusion of African fabric/prints with contemporary styles.

When in Rome...

Polo Shirt - Primark

Shorts - American Apparel

Bag - Longchamp

Sunglasses - Jeepers Peepers

Shoes - Adidas (Superstars)

***

A few weeks back I (Arianne) had the chance to go to Italy for a holiday with my family. After spending a weekend or so in Rome, we went to Sorrento, a seaside town on the Amalfi coast. I love city breaks due to the endless options of things to see and do, as well as the general vibe of a busy town. Rome was great as I had never been there before, and fell in love with the architecture, weather and, of course, the food, returning with at least five pounds of extra weight and dissatisfaction with the British cuisine and frozen pizzas.  Everyday it was pretty hot, so I tried to keep as cool as possible by wearing light tops and getting my legs out (whilst unintentionally channelling some sort of  urban-sporty-Wes-Anderson-Lolita hybrid in the process). It was a good holiday, with no shortage of tasty gelato, speedy scooters, ancient art and architecture, inappropriate pasta and American tourists. Whilst it sucks to be back we both cannot wait for what the rest of the summer holds, and here are some photos from the trip...

OOTD: Pink Coats and Rubbish Quality

(Apologies for the picture quality, apparently IGCSE's are more important)

Coat - Motel

Sweatshirt - Primark

Jeans - Vintage Levi's 

Bag - Longchamp

Shoes - Adidas (Superstars)

 Hey Guys,

So this is just pretty much a lazy/blog filler post. Unfortunately, we have been plagued with the idea of IGCSE's and have been studying and doing exams for the past couple of weeks (hence the quality/lack of blog posts). With nearly half down, we still have a few more to go and cannot wait to burn our books and wave goodbye to some of the dreaded subjects (we're talking to you Chemisry).

Anyway, our school lets us wear our own clothes during the exam period because jeans and trackies make better substitutes for brown and blue when you are under incredible stress, and do not want the colour of your uniform to reflect your feelings towards the exam period. Yes, it feels bloody amazing to roll out of bed with hair unbrushed and toothpaste stains down your shirt (all i the name of comfort) but today I decided to go for a less sports-teacher-run-over-by-a-truck look and wear a pair of vintage Levi's and a  baggy sweatshirt - ease without scaring basically everyone in your sight.

We hope you enjoyed this post and look forward for more to come, make sure to follow us on Bloglovin' and Lookbook :*
