Hello guys,
I find myself as a fashion enthusiast that fashion is, no matter how carefully you shop, very expensive.
I have therefore composed a list of things I am allowed to buy, and things that I am going to make. My auntie recently told me that she will be giving me her sewing machine, and will be teaching me to use it. I've already compiled a list of things to make, and a list of materials to buy (I like lists). I recently bought the most awesome leopard print material and will be making some (think this; http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=2263230&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208529&parent_categoryId=203984&sort_field=Relevance&pageSize=20 sort of style but in a heavier material) and using the excess to make a tote shopper and a scarf.
If anyone knows any great sites for patterns or material or whatever, let me know. Will be doing some outfit shots this week, so look out for them :)
Love Chloe. X
Monday
Faux faux.
Hello :)
Well, today is the start of a new month (almost) so OBVIOUSLY that required me to spend all my hard earned cash on clothes that I don't really need but really wanted :)
I've rekindled my love of eBay, so two of my purchases are from there. They're not here yet, but I'll show you the advertised pictures.
First off are these awesome faux leather shorts;
This isn't me :) haha. But these are great, I'm just hoping that the material is of a good quality. Cute with tights and a tucked in vest top or silk shirt. They were £20 with £3.99 p&p charges.
More shorts :) This time, high waisted vintage Levi shorts in indigo. Very excited. They were £13.99 with £2.99 p&p charges. Cool, whatever the season.
These two basic vest tops were on a two for £10 deal, or £6 each, from Topshop. I go through these like nobodies business, so it was time for a stock up.
I'm in love. So good for summer. Festivals, barbeques, holidays, sun, ahhhhh.... It was £20 from Topshop. Check out the gorgeous dark poppy print;
More Topshop jeans this time;
These were £40 and I think they're pure sexy. I'm still after some normal low- rise black skinny jeans, but when I saw these, they had to be mine. Tuck ANYTHING into them and I'll bet it will look hot.
Lastly but not leastly is potentially my favourite item. This is going to look so good over a white vest top and black jeans, teamed with a floppy black felt hat. Or for winter, over a long sleeve black dress. Sigh. I'm desperate for it to come already. It was £30 from Topshop.
I'm also returning two of the items from my last post. The black posh maxi skirt is going, it just won't sit properly on my hips for some unknown reason. Also, the dress. both love it and hate it. From the front, it is fantastic. But from the back, it makes my normal sized ass look about the same size as China. So I'm returning it in the hope that I find something similar, but better.

Wednesday
Wait...what? Is that the SUN?!
Ahoy, me hearties, and yes, that may well be the SUN, out at long last! Have we seen the end of winter? I sure hope so. Anywho, I apologise for the ridiculously long gap in between posts, I have some exams coming up (Biology and Physics, eeek!) so I've been planning and organising and revising. To apologise, I thought I'd show you some recent purchases of mine (yesterday) from Topshop online, so they're not here yet, but I'm in eager anticipation of them. Here they are;
These I actually bought a few weeks ago, and they're so ridiculous and fantastic :) I love them. Serious disco pants, even if I don't disco. They were £10, reduced from £30.
I'm in love with this. So easy to style. It was £32 from Topshop, and because it keeps going in and out of stock, I though I'd grab it fast.
I'm a big fan of maxi skirts, so this was a must. Because it is made of layered 100% polyester, I can also make it look like one of those skirts that is sheer from above the knee down (like this https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghTQwcpWsbR6VU9BrESTI1i0hQgkB9RKZ_2gOpNb54977Y1uKNG1WrFBBCAreb2hNzFYMZeGVUtTI9qiEXlrmCOMME2Gxqg6E24eS_xajzmkZaku1XTkjlDR3FaWtlkL22_De0foMbs0k/s1600/look03%2528a%2529.jpg from http://petrisa.blogspot.com/ , fantastic blog!) simply by rouching up the under-layers. It was £10 reduced from £45.
I love the 'silk scarf wrapped round the head headbands' but I can never seem to tie it properly. Tips on how to do it would be appreciated! But until then, there is always this baby, which was £6.
This is exactly what I've been searching for. I think it will look great with my MuuBaa leather jacket, and I'm thinking of wearing it for my birthday next month. It was £36, and I think it's just so feminine and sexy.
This colour is a little scary for me, but I think it will suit me. I love the cut and it's very versatile and up to date. It was £18 and if I like this one, I might get it in some more of the many colours that they do. I'm thinking, tucked into high- waisted indigo vintage Levi shorts with a dark brown/ tan belt for summer? Yum.
Lastly but not leastly is this lovely unusual top. I'm buying a fair bit of burgundy tones, recently :/ I suppose it's ok because they contrast so nicely with the black and camel hues of leopard print that is in recently. This top was £18 reduced from £36.
That's the lot, people. I'm thinking of doing a video haul to upload specifically to my blog, showing some stuff I got about a month ago from River Island and some charity shops. Let me know what you think, might have a go at filming it tonight. Anywho, thanks for reading, readers.
