The Love Cats

"We missed you hissed the lovecats...”

This post’s TUNE comes from The Cure.  Yes, a weird looking bunch admittedly, however, should we really be that shallow and discount them because of that, because to be honest that would rule most bands out completely.  So no, we shall soldier on and remember that it is in fact all about the music!  And luckily enough they’re music really is the bees knees, especially this song!


So anywho, you can have a little look at the video here and visit the website here.




Top: Topshop (£15.00, sale)
Trousers: Oasis (£10.00, sale)
Moccasins: Office (£23.00, sale)
Watch: Casio
Bag: Peacocks (old)
Coat: Primark (old)

This blog was originally meant to be a fashion blog, but over time it's turned into something of a beauty/book/lifestyle blog with a little bit of fashion thrown in every now and again with the odd outfit post here and there.  I have to say that this isn't the way I wanted this to go.  I want a blog that I can look at and be proud of, but most of all, one that I would want to read myself.  I want it to be an extension of me.

That being said I intend on making this blog lean more on the said of fashion with the everything else accompanying it, not the other way round, so I am going to aim for an outfit post a week.  Remind me of that when I go a bit slack again will you.

So both the trousers and top were bought in the January sales, I love them both, and the prices were an absolute bargain.  In fact, I thought the price for the trousers was just so good I had to buy two pairs, different colours of course, but the same style.  The top is velvet and faux leather, I mean could you get a more gorgeous combination?!?!

This is something of a casual/smart look, the moccasins keep it happily on the side of casual, no matter how good a pair of trousers can look with heels, thats just not me.  I think it's good to mix things up, I don't like to go for a particular style, just whatever I pick up that I like, it's never good to try and pigeon hole yourself.  What is a pigeon hole? Whatever it is, I don't want to be in one, Pigeon's aren't the best of birds, and I for one definitely want to be a classy bird. 

Did you pick up any little gems in the January sales?

p.s. I edit all my pics with PicMonkey.

Stay Sexy,

  30. Love the outfit! I also wanted to let you know, that I enjoy reading all your other posts that have nothing to do with fashion also. You do a great job of creating content that lets us know a bit about you and is truly is an extension of yourself.
