Gold headband

I've been looking for a gold headband for a while and I finally found the perfect one in Accessorize yesterday. I've seen them worn beautifully by many people in street style photos but Bat for Lashes is definitely my main inspiration. She has such a fearless, eclectic style (and her music is fantastic too).

I won!

I won something!! Many thanks to the wonderful Imelda who picked my name out of a hat and is sending me a $100 voucher for Wittner Shoes. Now all I have to do is choose a pair and cross my fingers they make it to the UK all the way from Australia! Which do you think I should go for?

DIY Margiela T-shirt

These DIY t-shirt projects have become more frequent than I planned, I don't even wear t-shirts that often! I found this wolf tee for just a few pounds last Sunday when we went to the seaside (it was that kind of town). So, this is my version of the Maison Martin Margiela t-shirt. I chopped of the arms and sandpapered the print to take off the shine and fade it. If you want to try this be careful, it's really easy to sandpaper right through the shirt. It could still do with going through the washing machine about 50 times, but I'm quite pleased with it. I still haven't decided if I'll wear it yet though...

Fashion Market

This is a book I bought a while ago but then totally forgot I had, it's a little bit like getting something new! Fashion Market features interviews with 13 UK artists and designers from Spitalfields Market in London. It's a fantastic source of inspiration, full of colour and creativity. I love the unique stitching on the cover too, no two copies are quite the same.

Beside the seaside

The weather has been fantastic in the UK this week, so Mr Brown and I jumped on a train today and headed to the coast with our cameras and the Polaroid. We went to an exceptionally tacky seaside town, full of rundown amusement arcades, kids and old people. We didn't care though, the sun was shining we took loads of photos and ate too much ice cream! I wore my new Topshop gladiator sandals, they're not the fierce half-way up the leg ones I'm planning to get, just a quick fix until I have some more cash... They were surprisingly comfy, not a single blister and given the amount of walking we did that's pretty much a miracle. Ooooh and check out the muscles on my man!
