What's Up Stud?
Mmm it's going to be a scorcher this weekend, so I have spent the majority of today trawling the internet looking for all sorts of ludicrously scimpy outfits that I can wear while i'm still young and fun and all that stuff.
It's my new way of convincing myself that it's okay to spend nearly £200 on one Zara spree... After all, girls, this is the best we are going to look, so may as well make the most of it.
While thinking of a nice little post to do today, I had a little browse on Zoe Karssen's website and found a rather apt sweater (here) "Live Fast Cause It Won't Last", which I feel pretty much sums up my warblings. Beside the sweater was this killer tee and I decided to do a post featuring this Suicide Blonde tee with some sexy punky accessories.
If I could afford this outfit (which I can't... just so you know!) I would most certainly be slinging it in my suitcase for my upcoming trip to New York where I shall be visiting the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition at The Met. How chic... How apt!
Hope you like and hope you are all enjoying the sun!
1. New York designer Joomi Lim is pretty much an obsession of mine at the moment, and this London Calling necklace with pearls and mixed metals is just the thing to jazz up this sexy slouchy t-shirt. I adore pieces that marry silver, gold and gunmetal together seamlessly, and this necklace 100% does that. I am such a statement necklace freak, but this one needs to be mine.
2. When I first spotted this Suicide Blonde varsity tee by Zoe Karssen I was a little bit smitten. It's such a relaxed, cool and fresh tee with a gorgeously flattering neckline. It is around €60, but it is worth it for Zoe Karssen tees are such great quality- so fine and soft.
3. I recently did an interview with Katie Canvin, the lovely co-founder of the glorious Austique boutiques in London, and she tipped me off about this amazing jewellery designer she found in NYC. Jacqui Aiche do the most gorgeously delicate body jewellery including this bracelet ring chain, which will hopefully be coming to Austique very soon. Stay tuned London ladies, or keep checking their website if you're no local.
4. Rebecca Minkoff handbags are another NYC staple, and this iconic MAC clutch in basic black with gleaming golden hardware is a great investment. These handbags are such gorgeous quality, and what I really love about them is that not everyone has one. You can grab this gorgeous number at Atelier-To-Go. If you don't, I will, so get them before they all go.
5. Boticca jewellery is my one-stop-online-shop for quirky, beautiful jewellery at reasonably accessible pricepoints. These shark tooth bangles from UK based designer Beau & Arrow are just edgy enough to add a little punky punch to this über cool look.
6. This Zara white "skort" is not to everyone's liking, but I love the directional origami-esque front, perfect for smartening up a casual tee. They also come in black and make for a great wardrobe staple with a little fashion-forward touch.
7. Last but not least, the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen... Well, this season at least. These Balenciaga motorcycle wedges are available at Matches for a cool £600 but they are so, so, so, so divine. Is it possible to be attracted to a shoe?

Jumpsuited and Booted
Yes, it's official, basically every necklace on the blog is from Zara, but they are sooo pretty and such good value!
Anyhow, onwards we go, and I just had to share with you all my latest purchase- this incredibly chic and versatile jumpsuit from Topshop. It fits like an absolute dream, is so comfortable and you can dress it up or down (which is my catchphrase, by the way)
It is the perfect blank canvas for seriously killer accessories like the ones I have featured in this edit- ie this delicious Mulberry handbag and these vicious Zara heels that are just the right side of tacky... Gotta love a bit of leopard print.

My New Babies...
I am not buying any clothes. But I am buying shoes. And these are the latest addition to my wardrobe. They are £70 from Topshop and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
They have a little cuban heel which just lengthens my legs a little bit (as is required!) and the studs are feminine but a little bit edgy at the same time. I love them with my favourite H&M lace dress (as worn during #companygrads- see here) and my new coral day clutch- love it!

Ooh Ya Bootie
![]() |
| all from Topshop (race ya?) |
And so the hunt for the perfect Winter boots begins...
Oop. That was quick, wasn't it? I would happily welcome any of these studded boots to my wardrobe, particularly the £70 and the £80 pair.
I'm a woman obsessed with studs and all these boots are just tempting my inner magpie and urging me to reach for my purse. If you see me in Topshop with more than one pair, please do stop me, remind me that I need money to live, not just wear nice boots. Priorities, Shona, priorities.
I would wear these with everything from jeans to my new favourite lacy dress and they are all so lovely and practical. Not ideal for airport security but (BOO HOO) i've done all my international travelling for this year, so that doesn't bother me!
I'm currently on a clothing ban (no. more. clothes.), but I can still buy a pair of winter boots, right?
Or two... Or three... Or four...

SS12 Lust List: Item #2
![]() |
| Christian Louboutin for Mary Katrantzou, SS12 |
I am a girl, and therefore it is only natural that I will fall in love with a pair of shoes at least once every season. Premature though this may be, I think I have found my sole-mates (see what I did there?) for SS12.
While my own feet are currently clad in layers of thermal socks, I can't help but imagine how lovely they might look slipped into these STUNNING Louboutin heels from Mary Katrantzou's coveted SS12 collection (my pick of the season.)
It's no secret that 2012 is going to be Katrantzou's big year. Her A/W collection has brought her a nomination for the highly prestigious Design Museum's Design of the Year award, which is such an achievement! This, alongside a Topshop collaboration hitting stores in February (i've already started sharpening my elbows for the launch) and one of the most celebrated shows of the spring season under her belt, have secured her place as fashions next megastar.
Her eye catching prints and masterfully cut dresses are the stuff of dreams, and these shoes designed with Louboutin are just the delicious cherry on top.

The clear plastic brings a futuristic touch to the cheerful bright metallics, and the studs add a serious edge. They are sexy, chic and flattering all at once!
I want them in every colour please, but the silver and gold pair are a firm favourite as I just have a thing for mixed metallics!
Kudos to Katrantzou!
