Forever 21 autumn/winter ’12 collection

So summer is nearly over and winter is well and truly on its way. For me the only thing exciting about the approaching winter months is the prospect of a new a/w wardrobe, and forever 21 have just made that thought a lot more exciting with the launch of their brand new a/w collection!

They just recently released their latest campaign shots featuring their new face up and coming model Ashley Smith, and I just love everything about them. I think Ashleys young and quirky look really suit the brand and as far as the styling goes forever 21 are ticking all the box’s when it comes to a/w trends (studding, prints, leather, layering accessories, nude colours, ankle boots).
Some pieces I’m loving from this collection are this cute studded crop top (perfect under an open lumberjack  or with denim cut offs) and this eye catching green printed shirt (reminiscent of something you’d find in a vintage store!)

 
The best part about this collection though defiantly has to be the fact that everything is under £36 (€45) so its super affordable and perfect for updating your wardrobe!

Untill next time,

Vintage re-worked levi shorts

So I did a bit of shopping yesterday in preparation for my summer in ibiza and one of the things I picked up was a pair of super cute re-worked vintage levi shorts from my favorite place in the world, urban outfitters. They where €42, not too bad since they go with EVERYTHING and a good pair of plain denim shorts is a staple piece in any wardrobe so I’m looking at them as an investment!

I also picked up a pink and blue tribal print oversized croped t-shirt (€19) while I was there, love the pattern on it, perfect for summer.

So heres the look I put together..

I themed it with a pair of converse (Available in office and many other shoe shops for about €50) and a combination of bracelets from river island and H&M. Heres a closer look..

The two skinny colourful braclets are from a set I bought in H&M for €3.50 and the rest are part of a set from river island €11, I especially love the pink peace sign. For a little variation on this look I bought this sheer linen oatmael top from the I Love H-81 range in Forever 21 for €10.75 the sheer is perfect for summer but could also be layered with a cami underneath for the winter months.

Hope you all enjoyed this post, these weren’t the only bits I picked up on my little spree so I’ll have more looks up over the coming days.
Untill next time,
