            Monki Faux Fur Cross Body Bag (BUY HERE)                   Whistles Pointed Loafer Heeled Boots (BUY HERE)

Just a few things i've been lusting after recently. 

Spotted this Cheap Monday bomber on Erika Bowes instagram and have since been craving the feel of padded silver kimono sleeves on my person ever since. 

I slightly cheated with this wish list because i do actually own a pair of black pointed patent boots but Whistles trumps Topshop every single day of the week so (i think) it's allowed.

Monki's long grey tunic top would be perfect for me to wear when i'm gonna be in the studio all day and want something comfy, lightweight and effortless stylish - i can just picture it with black skinny jeans and boots, alongside the paint splattered face and messy bun i most definitely would be sporting that day.

The rest needs no explanation; fluffy, shiny and casual muted v-neck, done.

PLAYLIST // OCTOBER

Thought i'd start doing a monthly playlist of my favourite soundcloud picks of the month seeing i probably spend half the month on there looking for good tracks...

October is nearly over which means i have loads of likes building up on my soundcloud page; this month (and every month if I'm honest) i've been really loving funky remix of old artists, e.g. two of favourites Al Green and Otis Redding. Recently i've become obsessed with anything that's a remix of a song that was pretty funky to begin with, am i the only one who thinks they are usually better than the original? 

My true of the month has been Chet Faker - his normal stuff is pretty damn good to start with, but then he has to go an collab with dj and just produce such sick tracks, it kills me.

Sam Smith has also recently become a contender for next month, watch this space...

JACKSON POLLOCK

                                                                                     

Mr Pollock is one of my favourite artists; i think the sporadic splats just look amazing piled on top of one another and his colour schemes are so clever, who knew teal, orange and baby blue went together?

I'm so envious of him, he looks so free and liberated just going crazy with the paintbrush, so in his element. Hans Namuth did such a good job capturing the essence of him and his work, i've been in awe of him and Namuth since i first laid eyes on both their work. 

Out of all the different kinds of art, abstract and expressionistic is one of my favourites - i love how something so random, that just looks like a mistake unless you really study it, can sum up a feeling or a thought so cleverly.

Right, enough fan grilling for one day...

WEEKDAY

   
                                    
                                                   

Hey guys, so i thought while i'm still getting to grips with things i would do (maybe) weekly posts about some of my favourite brands or artists....?

So, brand no.1 is MTWTFSS Weekday. For starters, look at the exterior and interior design of there stores, its just so on point and relevant to the clothing and brand; simplistic yet stylish and unique yet refined.
I'm into my basic tees and paired with jeans and simple jewellery so Weekday is just one of those brands i can never go wrong with. Everything is super high quality ( like the striped top above which i recently bought) but ridiculously cheap - speaking of cheap... they also stock one of my favourite brands Cheap Monday on their new website which is a major plus.
Its one of those ones where you pay for brand as well, that little black and white 'MTWTFSS' label calls to me I'm not going to lie, however it's not like its designer prices so you can afford to.

For simple, high quality, sophisticated basics Weekday is the go to, at least for me.
Check out their new website if you want to indulge...   http://shop.weekday.com

Until next time...

INTRO

Hey whats up guys? I'm Rose (Elizabeth Hill) a 17 year old from the Uk who's partial to catwalk show or two..... I thought a blog would be pointless for people to read if they didn't know about the person writing it so heres a few little facts about me to give you an idea of my tastes etc.

1. I love Vivienne Westwood. okay, I'm not gonna lie her designs are not quite to my taste but i think her as a person is fucking awesome, She just gives no shits about anything people think, doesn't she? its so refreshing to have her in world of fashion.

2. Kill Bill is the best film, hands down. no one try and argue with me because i love it.

3. One day i want to be a fashion designer. But one that makes messages with their clothing as well as making stuff people want to wear. To me fashion is more than pretty clothing, its an art form and art is a way to express yourself. (deep)




4. I like black. I'm trying to stray away a bit, into the greys and whites (oooo), i even bought a pair of electric blue boots the other day. But its gonna be a main colour in this blog if i post any outfits, even though I'm not at all gothic or anything, its just everything looks better in black is that just me?

                                                                           

5. I love buildings and architecture. There is just something about buildings and skylines and glass that i just love, all my work is based on buildings.                

6. I also love art. I don't study it so i don't have the skill but i love art museums and i use artists more than designers as inspiration in my own designs.

                                                                                                                         

                

So yeah, thats me. I'm pretty simple with my taste and i enjoy stroking animals. 
Thanks for stopping by, more posts to come so follow me on bloglovin and with blogger to keep up to date. I'm also on pretty much every social media site so hit me up on the links to the side and above.

Until next time....
