More Polyvore sets

ADVERTISEMENTS

Here's some more of the sets I made over the past few days on Polyvore...

I've been meaning to do a post on the above T-Shirt for a while now. I bought it about a month or two ago from Farfetch.com while I was working there. It's by Zoe Karssen, a new cult T-shirt label that has recently launched on Net-a-Porter and ASOS. This particular tee tells the story of my life, hence the hefty investment.

Welcome into my life, YSL Arty

ADVERTISEMENTS

I have wanted one of these beautiful rings for so, so long now.

After telling my sister about them recently, I went onto Net-a-Porter to admire some of the other rings as these had been out of stock for some time. But HEY! There they were - a whole ton of YSL rings back in stock.

I had it in my head that they cost a lot more than they do, so when I realised they were priced at £115 (devoting my weekends to work is finally paying off) I put my order in straight away.

Something tells me I'll be attempting to wear this with every possible outfit...

The Perfect Cream Blouse

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yes, another thing I am in search of.

When I was trawling through Net-a-porter in preparation for this post the other day I spotted a few, but they're completely out of my student price range.

It's something I'm quite fussy with as they can very easily look cheap and tacky, which is probably why I was so drawn to these higher quality garments.

They're perfect for the transition from Winter to Spring (even if Spring seems impossible right now) going perfectly with a good fitting pair of jeans, and trench coats for chillier or rainy days.

Georgette ruffle blouse (£255) Diane Von Furstenburg, Cutout leather sandals (£525) Burberry Prorsum, Kex smooth skinny jeans (£180) Acne, Propaganda cotton-blend mac (£355) Vivienne Westwood.

Cotswolds silk-chiffon tunic (£235) Leaves of Grass, Fantasme trench coat (£470) Paul & Joe, The Super Slouch skinny jeans (£250) Current/Elliott, Caparetto leather ballerina flats (£305) Chloe.

Silk-chiffon pussybow blouse (£740) Oscar de la Renta, Cotton pleated skirt trench (£850) Burberry, Bardot high-waist skinny jeans (£195) J Brand, Titi 120 Panama straw pumps (£470) Christian Louboutin.

I did finally tick the maxi dress off my wishlist, however. I purchased a jersey black number about a month ago, and most recently a multi-coloured printed maxi in the sale for when the sun comes out. I will post pictures when it becomes more appropriate to wear these outfits. The black one is more practical, but I haven't stepped out without my boots on in forever due to the arctic temperatures taking over the UK.

I felt all inspired to create some little outfits after a trip to net-a-porter, a regular occurance when I'm low on funds, ironically enough. It's probably the worst, most depressing site to go on, but all of their beautiful clothes and accessories still manage to brighten up my day.

It's pretty clear when you look at the pieces I've put together that I have a thing both for skirts and bright accessories. They always have so much more appeal when they're designer - on the high street many of these could look tacky and I would never dream of buying them.

Skirts are for life, not just for summer

ADVERTISEMENTS

I have a bit of a thing for skirts lately. Whenever I write lists (I write a lot of lists) of things I need to invest in more pre-shopping trip, skirts are always on there.

I used to live in jeans, but didn't actually realise how many people don't actually wear jeans all the damn time, until a friend pointed out last year how often I wear them and that I 'inspired' her go out and buy a pair.

With this in mind, and the fact I was becoming depressingly bored of my day-to-day outifts, I finally clicked that relying on jeans all the time wasn't giving me enough room for creativity. Besides, I find them so uncomfortable anyway, and they're such time consuming things to go shopping for, especially if skinny is your preference.

I picked out some of my favourite skirts online to share with you all after being inspired by some of the S/S'10 shows.

Runway

Burberry, Jaeger London and Versace

Online
L-R: Topshop £30 - Forever21 $28 - By Zoe @ My-Wardrobe £87

L-R: Vero Moda @ Oli £29 - See by Chloe @ Net-a-Porter £290 - Surface to Air @ Browns £110





My favourites are the Topshop and Vero Moda skirts - they've gone straight to the top of my (very long) wishlist.

Team them all with black wooly tights and boots for day, heels or pretty flats for night. They can all be teamed with floaty blouses or plain tops as they make a little statement on their own.
