Let Me Get Low

If you follow me on twitter you might have noticed recently that I have become Polyvore obsessed! I really like image based social media sites like Tumblr and Pinterest because I love to collect imagery and inspiration, but Polyvore is a totally different concept of building outfits; it's like an outlet for styling ideas. I have only recently started with Polyvore so won't share any of my own sets yet but thought I would show you guys a few of my favourites and hope that they inspire you as much as they do me.

Fred Perry: Bradley Wiggins

On Thursday night I went to the launch of the Bradley Wiggins collection in Fred Perry, Bristol. It was an event happening all across the UK and as my brother works for Fred Perry I decided to go along and support the Bristol store. The event was 7-9pm and personally I think the Bristol store did a great job of hosting a true 'mod' inspired evening.  

I decided to wear my new Urban Outfitters denim pinafore with a vintage long sleeved t shirt and my black creepers. I do love this pinafore but it is quite shapeless, I know thats the style but I don't know if it suits me?! Outfit crisis!! 

We got to the store at 7.45pm and it was fairly busy with lots of people trying on items and purchasing at the till. Free drinks were on hand and we were invited to look through the new collection as well as browse the other Fred Perry lines; all staff were around to tell us about the Bradley Wiggins collection and how cyclist clothing had inspired the designs. Bristols finest 60's DJ span motown classics in the corner and the shop had been decked out with bicycle wheels hanging from the ceiling and huge paisleys for the current Amy Winehouse collection. I bought a bright red jumper with a blue laurel wreath (which i'll be sure to include in a post soon) and took some photographs whilst my boyfriend tried on some of the collection, we were also invited to instagram a picture in order to win a Bradley Wiggins item! The event was so much fun and i'm so glad I went, it's always strange going to 'after hours' events in shops because it feels a bit wrong; like being at school after dark! However having the DJ made it feel more like a unique club night especially teamed with the free drinks! Did anyone else go to the launch at a different Fred Perry or have you bought any Fred Perry recently?

This is the first 'what i'm wearing today' blog post I've ever done! It was so weird standing in front of the camera as i'm so used to being behind it for uni and I managed to rope my boyfriend in to take the pictures rather than using a timer. It's definitely going to be a case of trial and error, as I find good places to shoot as well as a good pose which suits me, I am looking ever so slightly wooden in these! Today I have just been making a soup and dying a dress black which sounds very war time, so I went for a simple Topshop black skater skirt and vintage striped jumper. I decided not to tuck the jumper in as I usually would because it's quite bulky and makes me look like I have a weird spare tyre. I also look incredibly tanned, i'm not some crazed fake tanner I have just come back from a holiday for anyone who is wondering! The cross earrings, ponytail and orange lipstick definitely jazz up what is essentially quite a boring outfit and make me look like someone from Saved By The Bell; which I definitely don't mind! The creepers i'm wearing are insanely good copies from ebay and you can find them by following the link above! They're only £19.99 and I get comments all the time about how expensive they must of been because everyone thinks they're real, so if you're looking to get a pair but don't have much money or don't know how much you'll wear them I would definitely recommend getting a pair of these!
