Brian Jonestown

Working in retail means I don't get a lot of time off over Christmas so I haven't been able to take many outfit posts recently, plus I have also been spending lots of time seeing friends, going out for drinks and  generally being in the festive spirit! Christmas really is one of my favourite times of year and this year definitely hasn't disappointed! Christmas Eve was spent at a local pub with all of my favourite friends and then Christmas Day and Boxing Day was spent with family eating too much chocolate and drinking too much champagne. I had some lovely gifts which I can't wait to share with you and also have an great outfit planned for NYE which i'm going to snap for you guys too on Tuesday.

As I don't have an outfit post for today I decided to just post a few favourite images from my tumblr from this year, and this brilliant song by Brian Jonestown Massacre. 

Furious Face

I have been a little bit rubbish on the blogging front the past 2 weeks, mainly because my boyfriend Tom who takes the pictures for me was away for a week with his band. I couldn't get the hang of balancing my camera on a shelf, pile of books anything that was the right height, so decided to just wait till he got back!

 This is an outfit that I wore last night to see Stealing Sheep, an all girl band who play alternative folk music and wear fantastic clothes! I'm wearing my black playsuit from Motel Rocks with a black cardigan, creepers and my lovely House of Harlow necklace. Sorry for the rubbish photo as the outfit was all black it was really hard to photograph and I look furious! I really like this playsuit because it's so basic but i'm not sure if it looks that nice on? I find playsuits hard to wear because they're usually too short in the body and this one definitely is! I tried on the L which was far too big and got the M but I don't feel very comfortable in it and don't think i'll be able to take my cardigan off whilst wearing it!

I have been working at the Motel shop a lot recently and am really enjoying it, it's great to be working with a brand that I love and has been great to combine my internship with a paid job!

In other news I went to see another band recently 'Peace' I was really looking forward to it but to be honest I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would! I was lucky to go with my friend who was writing a review and if your interested in music blogs/reviews then check out her blog here she's only just started it so it only has two posts but it's always good to hear about new music!

Sister Jane

Today I thought I would do a post on one of my favourite brands; Sister Jane, i'm not quite sure how I discovered this brand, I think it might have been in Topshop Oxford Street, but i'm so glad I did because the clothes are gorgeous and I love the ethos behind the company. Sold as a concession in Topshop and ASOS, Bea Deza is the woman behind the brand who also just happens to be the coolest woman in the world! My favourite thing about their website is the blog which accompanies it, showing intimate and interesting pictures of the life and career of Bea Deza. The clothes are eclectic and bring together two of my favourite styles; 90's grunge and 60's bohemia, I am pretty much in love with the sheer panel dress below! Although technically a Spanish brand, Bea describes it as English as it was 'born in London' and to be honest it just makes me want to start up my own designs because the clothes are just so perfect for me. 

Sister Jane brings out a new collection as often as every 6 weeks and this time you will find 'Death in Glendale', which features monochrome shirts accompanied by printed trousers, velvet dresses, maxi skirts and baroque, sheer panelled blouses. The clothes are dramatic and luckily not ridiculously  expensive, dresses start at £65 and currently both Topshop and ASOS have some items in their sale! 

As I have a slight girl crush on Bea Deza I wanted to show you guys some photos of her style which you can find here on the Sister Jane blog. I love her excessive use of rings, which I can relate to, and the way she wears quite feminine dresses but toughens them up with hats, boots and 'boyish' styling. You can also find some pretty cool images of her apartment in Madrid here which features some fantastic furniture and eclectic interior design.
