London babyyyy ;)

The day after Coldplay, I spent the day in London and was pleased to see that Selfridges now has concessions from Office and Fred Perry, ie shops I can actually afford! So, in Office I bought two pairs of shoes; some cool new patent jazz shoes for school and some AWESOME leather workman-y, Doc Marten-y style boots which I LOVE! I was very happy to get my first ever Selfridges bag which I carried proudly along Oxford Street for about a minute before realising it was actually quite a hassle having to carry this huge bag around one of the busiest streets EVER. Anyway, this is my reasonably simple outfit, consisting of my school bag and school shoes, a chambray shirt that is almost vintage (it belongs to my dad, and I've never seen him wear it so it's at least 14 years old), and surprisingly good quality leggings from Asda, although I have to say the sizing is a bit wierd. My size 8s are quite tight, but so long that i can reach them up to my neck! Not quite sure what genius was behind this idea :/ Anyway, so note about the picture- please ignore my hair, which has almost completely dried naturally making it look terrible :S

COLDPLAYYYYY

So, on Friday I went to the Coldplay gig at Wembley and it was the best performance I have ever seen, Chris Martin often gets seen as a bit of a bastard, but his frontman performance seemed to contrast completely with this! You could tell he loved being there, and really did make what could've been just a great gig into a spectacular show. My highlight was the confetti butterflies that were blasted into the air during the last song, then fluttered down onto all the spectators. Yes, I realise I sound like I'm writing an English essay, but it really was quite magical :)

My polyvore set...

I've always admired Scarlett Johansson, probably because as a more curvy girl myself I love how she takes on the high fashion looks and adapts them to suit her figure. So I made a collage of a take on one of her looks, which I'm quite proud of actually :) just wish more people who used the website were english, because so many of the great bargains come from shops like forever21 or American Eagle..... Once again I find myself wishing I was born in the USA. Still, at least I have clear images in my head of styles to try out for when I'm out shopping.

ok, let's see how this goes...

As a 14 year old girl obsessed with fashion, I spend a lot of time scouring the web for clothes, jewellery and shoes, but my generally moneyless state means I spend very little time buying. The second my allowance comes in, I spend it on one of the many, many items I've been researching, and then immediately continue to look. One of my favourite places to look was on fashion blogs, however it seemed to be impossible to find a blog about UK high street fashion on a small budget. Then, the idea came to me to start my own! So here it goes, elle about apparel, a blog about just that.
