Whimsical, Trash and all things Lace

As fashion revolutionises with time, it becomes clear that styles from the 50's are back with a BANG... so it is highly important to mix and match: combining different styles in order to express yourself and to create your own style and mine is "Whimsical, Trash and Lace"... Florals, Pales, Salmon, Bubblegum, Lights, Biker Jackets, Studs, Dark eyes and Lacey garments, This style expresses my personality   and the stage which i'm at in my life at the moment: Lovely, Feminine, Daring and Trashy [in the most cleanest possible way]... So combine and create... For the sky is the Limit...mwah

This year for me is a Fashion Revelation or somewhat and 'Epiphany'... And ask WHY?? Because it's the year to shop smarter and shop harder... yet stay wiser. We can start by reviewing the stores which we shop at such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Lacroix, Polo, Prada, Stuttafords, Aldo etc... Not always affordable huh? But i'm here ofcourse to give you my Top 5 list of stores you should be visiting: 1. Woolworths-with trending lines such as Trenery and Country Road how can you go wrong? 2. Mr. Price-There is a lovely range, in style, especially suitable for the younger demographic similar to 'Target' 3. Jay Jay's-Mainly for the youth, colouful...with daring universal looks 4. Forever New-Florals, Feminine, Soft with a 'Gossip Girl' feel, What more can i say? 5. Jo Borkett-For sophisticated looks which aren't ridiculously priced, subtle colours combined with brights this is a designers haven indeed... With that said Your opinion my lovely matters more But i promise you that you will not be disappointed
