Fashion Forward: Eight legs, good

...*blush* sorry everyone. I was in a bit of a daydream and completely forgot FF was today.

In the midst of my foggy last week I spotted something really special. I should quickly add that I like traditional jewelry, not too big, not too small, and classic. But then...there is that part of me that adores the slightly weird and quirky.

This necklace from Crave Jewelry Design is most definitely on my Christmas wishlist. I may even write to Santa after all these years. It reminds me of reading 20 000 Leagues Under The Sea when I was younger.

quirky = fabulous <3

Clair is hosting this months FF so head on over to join in or just to see what everyone else is getting up to.

Normal service will be resumed shortly. My brain is all a mush! Bleh.

Fashion Forward: i like strolling in my oxfords...if i had a pair

Yay! It's Fashion Forward Monday!

I want a pair of oxfords so badly. I can just imagine myself schlepping across the city with these on my feet and the satchel slung around me. The sweater dress is gloriously oversized (and overpriced at $890!!!) and matched with my current comfort fave, leggings, it's perfect for shopping, studying, lazing and everything else under the sun! Boy, i can't stop looking at those shoes, they're perfect and flat, which solves my height issue with heels.

Perfectly quirky without over doing it.

My FF co-host, Clair, will be hosting next month's Fashion Forward so pop over to Obstinate Pursuit next Monday to join in our little fashion escapades!  She'll also be picking one fashion forwarder from October to receive a special treat. You've still got time to get in on the act, just pop your link in the box below and leave a comment.

:) Let the fun begin!

Fashion Forward: Picking up stones

I have to admit i have a bit of an obsession with pretty necklaces, in particular ones with natural gemstones in! You can pick one up in the morning and they'll look great no matter what you're wearing. Here are a few of my favourites from Sunnyrisingmetal.

I love the last one. It's name is Moonpie...so wonderfully lovely.

If you want to join in the FF, take a look at our guidelines and leave a link to your post in the box below. Oh and wonderful Clair has created a button! Pop over and see her to get yours. Clair is also having a FF giveaway; one FF post from this month will be getting a special treat in the mail!

Have fun :)

Fashion Forward: i heart comfort

Monday's here again, yay! Welcome back for the second week of Fashion Forward. Here's my offering...

I've been a little caught up in the whirlwind that involve skirts, heels and dresses recently and thinking about it yesterday, I realised that my fantasy wardrobe isn't my actual wardrobe, but that doesn't make my clothes any less fantastic.

Most of the time I like to be comfy. I hardly wear heels, mainly because i'm tall enough without them! I like a good pair of sneakers and a woollen wrap to snuggle up in while I watch day time tv. Love it! (I won't mention the Shaun the sheep slippers i've had since i was a teen...lets just pretend i don't wear them around the house!!!)

I'd be quite happy if i never had to dress in any way other than this.

Click here for a quick recap on the guidelines.

If you're joining in please remember to...

- Link to your post not your main blog page

- Pop a link back to this post in yours so other's can play along too

- Comment :)

You don't have to be a fashion guru to join in, we want to know what you like. If you love wearing rainbow striped jumpsuits, don't be scared to post it!! I love that everyone has a unique style <3

Can't wait to see what you guys are loving this week :)

xoxo

PS Clair will be giving away a little treat to a random FF post from this month. Watch out for the announcement in the next few weeks!

FF: I'm a Lumber-Jill...is that okay?

Yay for the first Fashion Forward post!

I’ve been adoring high-waisted clothes for a while and I saw this tutorial on Readymade and thought it was so cute. I just have to give this a go. Now i’m not one for skirts, mainly because they’re always to short or too long (What can I say? I’m a fussy customer!) but this could quite possibly be a turning point in my wardrobe…

And checked fabric!!!! Omg! If I don’t pilfer my dad’s shirt collection and make myself one of these soon, I swear my brain will sizzle up in its own excitement. Oversized cardi's and billowy tank tops are perfect for this look AND (!!!!) you can funk it up with a belt or heels.

<3

Okay...so here's how you can join in all the fun.

Clair and I will hosting FF together- one month you'll find us here, the next over at Clair's blog. It makes shuffling our hectic lives around much, much simpler! We will always point you in the right direction though :) Playing along is pimpsey simple, just show up here on a Monday and pop a link to your FF post in the boxy bit (see bottom of this post!). If you're stuck for ideas pick out a trend you love from a magazine; a collection of finds from etsy; a set from polyvore, a new accessory you've made yourself... we're a flexible bunch! And you don't have to play along every week if your inspiration has run dry.

OFFICIAL GUIDELINEY BIT :)

Here are a few rules to stick to:

1. Make sure the link you leave leads directly to your FF post, not your main blog page.

2. If you're posting about your own products make this clear to the reader, tell us about your store, the item and why it's current fashion. Please, no hard selling...this is for fun!

3. If you're playing along with us, remember to link back to here and visit other's posts and leave a comment 'cause...well it's nice :)

Yay, lets have some fashion fun <3
