I guess I'm not a real colour lovin' gal. The thought of a neon pink outfit scares the shit out of me, the colour yellow is about as avoided by me as the black plague, and I avoid all primary colours when it comes to anything that flares out. So, it's suprising that I'm all for jumping on the new tropical paradise bandwagon. I mean, think of the pro's of looking like a walking fruit basket! Not only do you looks good enough to eat, but you feel like a massive sunshine infused burst of awesomeness. Personally, I'm planning to wear my tropicals with basic shapes and neutral colours. This Topshop Bomber Jacket is a little too awesome not to buy, hoping to buy it this weekend, and wear about Soho in this beautiful sunshine we've been having. Who knows - I might even get a free fruit basket for my efforts..

I had a lovely weekend! Friday was spent having a nice night in with my boyfriend, playing monopoly (I know - we're cool) and lusting over clothes that we didn't need online. On Saturday we ended up going out to Kingston to meet some friends and chill. I managed to meet up with the utterly lovely Vicky, and we skulked off to browse in skate shops and discuss in detail the utter gorgeousness of Lecs Luther, how sick LA Shark are, and how much shit we both get for being small. Afterwards, we chilled with a few people in a grimy carpark and watched pointless youtube videos on peoples phones.


Next weekend looks like it'll be a good one! It's my 16th birthday on Friday, something that just sort of hit me. I can't believe it's so soon, feels like only last week was my 15th. Friday I'll be going out, and Saturday should be spent with friends in Covent Garden, finished off with a smart dinner up in Town. I'm not too sure what I want for my birthday, more sure of what outfits I'd like to plan for that weekend, So I decided to plan an outfit too perfect for words! Going with my usual boyish style, and love of masculine shapes, I wanted to create an outfit with the right sillohette - boyish, baggy top half, with skinny bottom, finished off with a chunky bag and understated silver accessories. I'm not one for jewellery to be honest, I always remove rings, take off necklaces or lose bracelets, I have to usually stick to earrings to be creative. I adore this ASOS silver spiked cuff, it's simple but looks ridiculously cool on. Going for the boyish astehstic I stick to contrasted with my sudden love for camo print, I had to include the Carhartt Rockford Jacket. I'm a big lover of street brands, and Carhartt is brilliant. I love the Jacket's shape with the little details, the collar, those two pockets and the padded fabric. I think the item I really love the most, has to be this gorgeous Monki denim shirt. I never really noticed Monki until recently, when I read about their new flagship store opening in Carnaby Street. After clicking through their site, I discovered (past the candy cotton hued shades, might I add) some really really lovely shirts. Might have to take a trip to the new 2 storey floor, anyone want to join me?

So I've changed Bleeding Knees Club a little this week, a few touches here and there. I feel like I needed an update, and a slap to get me back into the blogging mood (thankfully I didn't recieve the slap, natch). There's finally some sun in London! This weekend has been a rare exception after a seemingly never ending winter. However, with the bringing of sun, yesterday, whilst wearing a skirt, I went up to lie in the sun and listen to 60s girl bands in nottinghill with a friend, and managed to skate the entire way there with my skirt tucked into my tights. Not the best of impressions to tourists I think....
Oh, and taking inspirations from pretty much the entire blogging community I FINALLY BOUGHT SOME LEATHER LOOK LEGGINGS! Despite being the hardest things in the world to put on - que me lying on the floor, cursing loudly - they are literally the comfiest leggings I have ever worn in my life. Plus, they look dope, which is always a plus.

Dark Nature Clothing has just opened a new online store, with 2 upcoming collections. Hailing from South England, after two months working on new designs and collabs, the new web page has finally dropped! I've been lusting after their new pocket tee range DN/FSTL. Not only do they stock dope tees, stickers, beanies and sticky backs, but also host monthly competitons with the chance to win a load of awesome prizes.

So angry! You guys might've seen I did quite a long post yesterday with these photos and it seems to have been deleted. Oh well! Been some little changes over this week. I recently ombred my hair for starters! I'd been longing after my dip dyed summery locks for a while, and despite being scared that half my hair would fall out from the bleach, it seems to have coped very well. Piling it on my head everyday seems the most decent way to make it look good.

On another note, new clothes! My rather snazzy new socks are by HUF, and great american based streetwear brand. Their Plantlife collection, featuring these socks, has been really fought after the past year. Finding the socks in the colours I wanted was possibly one of the hardest tasks ever endured for fashion, I have to admit. It's taken me over 2 months to find the right ones. After spending a good week trying to pursuede a very reluctent eBay seller, I managed to buy two pairs, one for me and one for my boyfriend. They're gorgeous, but not the best pair of socks to wear to school, as I recently discovered.

What's cooler than paste up street art? Paste up street art that looks like something out of a horror movie. Ojo Senor, a street artist based in Barcelona, works with LED lights and implants them into simple black and white photos. For this set, what better imagery than the spooky children headshots from 1960 film 'Village of the Dammed'. Hello GCSE art project inspiration.... To see more of his work, click here.

Apparently, I've been AOWL for some time on my dear home, the blogging community. School and such has kept me away from reaching out to the familiar ol' blog, but i'm back now, with a new name, and back to covering my face and looking awkward in photos. Being given a new shiny, perfect mac for christmas (if you didn't realise already - my old one was 6 years old, and i had to hold the screen to keep the laptop one piece...) has given me a new lease of life. So hello everyone! I hope you all had great christmas's? I've spent a good hour today just going through christmas present posts. My christmas was full of grandparents, multiple family animals dressed as santa, and too many glasses of champagne.

As you can see, I've been repping some new Monroe digs I received on the 24th. Monroe Apparel is a street wear brand that runs mainly through tumblr and their online store. It really is brilliant - cool tees, snapbacks, crew necks and the most sought after hats in the world. They've gained a big rep over here in the Uk, although they ship anywhere in the world. You can buy their stock on eBay, and other sites, including dead stock. They do some great collaborations with some awesome models and photographers. You should all check out their site, here. What brands have you been loving recently? I'd love to hear.
