SURF SOUND : CRUISE 2016 BY HEDI SLIMANE FOR SAINT LAURENT
In my eyes, SAINT LAURENT as a fashion house can do no wrong. Last night's menswear SS16 collection acted as some sort of tribute to the 90s, Kurt and Courtney, as well as all things grunge.
I've seen a lot of people slating this collection, saying it's nothing unique, it's half-hearted etc but it's all my fever dreams and more. SAINT LAURENT isn't for the faint hearted, it's for the rockstars. It's the kind of thing you see the coolest cats wearing as they fall out of clubs in Soho at 5AM. There's something about this collection that screams high end thrift store, trashy rockstar and all I can think about is how much I want it in my wardrobe.
[Hi Saint Laurent if you're reading this, I'd do a lot of things for this space bomber jacket...please can I have one?]
The Kurt influences are blatant and I'm not sad about that. Yeah, we probably don't need anymore 12 year olds quoting Kurt and wearing their Nirvana H&M t-shirts, but this is raw 90s. It's mismatched prints, studded denim and fringed leather, the layering and clashing of plaid shirts and garish printed bomber jackets. It's trashy, but fucking cool. Attention to detail was everything. On the surface, these look appear as if they've been thrown together but if you look closer each piece has something different.
In my eyes, this collection is still the epitome of Slimane's brand, with tailoring hidden in amongst the drenching of grunge-chic but it's aimed at the youth. There are so many people clashing messy grunge style with tailored pieces and Saint Laurent has now catered to both of these needs. It's bold but it's brilliant.

FACE THE SUN
We all know I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl. However, this lil Topshop number has revolutionised by outlook on dresses. The perfect day to night bodycon, with unique detailing on the back, an incredibly flattering cut and £18 price tag [bargain right?], I've literally snapped this up in khaki [above], a burnt orange and grey. Obsessed, I know.
I'd deffo wear the khaki version on a night out, but I'm loving it as a day-time piece. I threw on the button down grey dress from Miss Selfridge [I know, I bought something from Miss S] to relax the body-tight vibes, throw on a backpack and platform loafers...you got yourself a look.

THE WEEK #6 | "HALLELUJAH THE SUN" & THE PARKLIFE OBSESSION
Lots and lots and LOTS of snaps this week. So grab a drink and enjoy.
THURSDAY was our first proper sunny day in ages, luckily myself, Tanya and Tash had planned to hang out. Of course, our day started in TOPSHOP, where I nabbed the khaki dress above which came in handy when I started to overheat in my dungarees...resulting in me doing a lil switch over in the middle of the park. Grabbing some lunch, we headed to the local park and spent the majority of the day lazing about in the sun, talking and cultivating our new alter ego's, Tha Wizard, Tuff and Peter Pan [thanks to the Wu-Tang name generator].
I love public parks, it's a great place to just chill and people watch which is exactly what you need sometimes. I honestly had the best time with Tash and Tan, it's so nice to hang out with people that make you belly-laugh and make you feel totally comfortable to be yourself.
THURSDAY EVENING resulted in an extremely spontaneous trip to a playground. Yeah, I'm nearly 20 I promise. Hanging out with Daisy [left] and Bam [right]. We look exhausted in the snap above but it was a great way to end the day.
SATURDAY was another ridiculously sunny day, so of course I headed back to the park. There just so happened to be a medieval faire on but I was more interested in catching a tan, snoozing in the sun and reading my book. Afterwards I headed to this quirky, spooky little magic store and nabbed myself the "relaxed Buddha" key-ring [the lady in the store said that's what it's called, please don't give me shit if it's wrong - but I'm always curious for more info on it] and this ace emerald stone necklace.
SATURDAY NIGHT involved Bam, Daisy and I heading to our local pub/bar type thang and having a couple of drinks. I am definitely an enormous advocate of pubs and bars over clubs [call me a granny if you will], of course the night wasn't without drama...but then when is it ever?
Let me know if you enjoy more photos/less writing or vis-versa. Today I fell asleep in the sun and woke up extremely tan, thanks Dad for the foreign skin/absorb the sun and go brown genes. Then, Dadda Lenihan and I whacked out the BBQ, beer and listened to DIIV.
Keep your eyes pealed to my blog this week, there are some exciting posts dropping. I hope you've all had an ace week/weekend.

THE WEEK #5 | CHATTED UP IN NOTTING HILL + RED WINE & SOUTHBANK
THE WEEK is back. It's getting hectic in my life again and that means this series gets a little more interesting.
THE WEEK started with a desperate attempt to rectify my hair. I know, "why didn't you just got to BLEACH LONDON or the hairdressers to start with?"...well, it's me and I never do things the easy way. We're getting there. Even if it's taking a heck of a lot more ££ and time than I'm willing to part with.
Then, on TUESDAY Maddy [aka the ying to my yang, the bizzle to my nizzle] came home from Uni, which consisted of us trying really hard to get a nice snap together [which is impossible].
On WEDNESDAY I was back in Epping, which is becoming a regular occurrence and it happened to be a real beautiful day. Thanks to a certain person, I've kind of fallen in love with this little corner of the world.
FRIDAY began with a little strangely. I came out of the tube at Notting Hill and some weird old guy, dressed in a white tunic asked if I had a YouTube channel because I could be more popular than Beyonce and J-Lo [at this point I was waiting for camera's to appear and it be a prank] then he continued to say that I should be in a L'Oreal advert because I was so beautiful and my hair [which is an absolute disaster, so that chat up line didn't even remotely work] *then he did a weird hair flick with imaginary hair* and that when I'm rich I should fire my boss....thanks for the advice mate, it makes 100% sense. Then he asked if I wanted to go for coffee/give him my number. One day, one day I'll attract normal humans.
After that wonderful experience, I met Maddy and we went to my favourite charity shop on the Globe and I nabbed an absolute dream item [I'll reveal all soon]. Hopping back on the tube we hit up Oxford Street and I spent £££ in TOPMAN and got ridiculously stressed over grown men getting in my way when I'm trying to buy their clothes.
After dinner, we headed to a little garden hidden behind Southbank with a bottle of wine. It was supposed to be a really classy, Tumblr thing, but of course it ended up with us drinking red wine out of plastic cups and getting a little worse for wear. FRIDAY finished at sunset with me and Maddy extremely drunk on the Millennium bridge staring at the sunset and getting a little overwhelmed over just how beautiful our city is. I mean look HERE. Then, after parting ways at St Pauls, Maddy heading back West to Uni and me back East, home - I had to tackle London Liv > Shoreditch extremely drunk which was an absolutely mission. Luckily, I made it.
