Feeling Blue.

As far as colour is concerned, I’m definitely more reserved. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I do have the occasional pop of colour, but on a whole it’s pretty monotone. With colour being very trendy of recent years It doesn’t seem to be something I’ve fully Indulged in. Of recent however I have noticed myself being drawn to one colour inparticaluar. Pink has always been a favourite colour of mine although it took me a while to realise it, the evidence pointing towards a favourite pink leather purse which was used to obliteration. Colour has an interesting affect on our psch and there is psychology behind this, studies show that many humans prefer colours from a shorter wavelength spectrum this means colours like blue as opposed to red. Blue has a calming effect on our minds which may be the reason we tend to prefer it over other colours like red and orange. I have tried red and it was just too overwhelming for my little ol’ brain. Well If you havent guessed by now the colour in question is indeed blue, inparticularly cobalt blue. I find this colour creeping into almost every clothes search favourite of mine that it’s most definitely becoming a trend. So I’ve collated my favourite cobalt blue pieces from my cart to share with you. As always these pieces are all pre-loved.

Really love the relaxed feel of these wool trousers as there from VB you know the quality will be great. The vintage levi is a great original piece that you wont see anyone else in.

Silk is my favourite fabric so an edgier colour adds a great statement to any wardrobe. I feel like we all love a ribbed anything so the jumper is a no brainer. The dress, which is also by Whistles has a lovely classy summer feel whilst still serving looks with its hue and pattern.

4 depop May Wishlist.

It’s still quarantine and I dont know about you but I seem to be acquiring a very long list of things I’m almost certain I need. (Let’s pretend that’s just a side effect form self-isolating and not a regular affair)

I’m building a capsule wardrobe; does this ever end – consisting of more quality garments with a minimalist style. More timeless pieces that have a more elegant style but also still playful. Better quality means less consumption and more sustainability which is an important issue for us all to consider when we shop, especially for short lived trends.

If you dont know by now then I’ll just have to tell you again about my love for depop. Depop is a platform that let’s individuals sell there pre-loved clothes. One of the many benefits of this is the opportunity for regular girls like me access to clothes we definitely would not be able to afford. Shopping pre-loved is definitely a smart choice for fashionistas and is one thing that all luxury fashion bloggers have in common when talking about how they built there closets. I’ve whittled down 4 items from my wishlist to share with you, as seen below.

1. When the prada ….collection was available every ‘fashion girl’s had this beauty. It’s a unique piece that is abit deer in price for something to small (RRP 170) however I feel that it is a great addition to any wardrobe. It adds a splash of colour to any outfit, its girly and feminine and its unique in its design.

2. The ganni denim dress is another past season dress I’ve been pondering over for some time. Denim is one of those fabrics I’ve been slowly moving away from as I feel there abit manly ( lol dont @ me) don’t get me wrong, I think a good staple jean is great to own as I’ve gotten older they’ve gotten more and more uncomfortable to be in which is another reason I’m adding more dresses to my wardrobe. Ganni dress RRP

3. Anyone who really knows fashion knows the loewe puzzle bag is a popular staple for many. As well as its practicality, its craftsmanship in shape is what I feel has won people over, this bag coats over £1000 so there must be something special about it, right? It’s not one of those in your face designer label bags but more subtle. It’s a if you know, you know bag. You can get this bag for half the price if you shop pre-loved or you could just buy the dupe. Either way it’s a bag thays been on my wishlist for some time.

4. Last but not least these Joseph slides have been haunting me since I set my eyes on them. There not a shoe I would usually go for, however they look so comfy. The contrast stitch and buckle at atoich of edge to them and may be a staple for spring/summer. I like to try and stay away from super trendy pieces that everyone has partly because I cant afford them and partly because I’d rather not look like a carbon copy but rather look for pieces that I feel work for functionality and fashion.

Style Edits • 3 rare Depop vintage finds

I dont know about you but I love browsing through vintage designer websites, searching for pre loved collection pieces that I may possibly be able to afford. If like me, you are also interested in luxury fashion but don’t have the necessary budget that some believe is required, then thrifting is a great way to get involved in the wardrobe dreams. It’s a great way to find those one off fashion gems at not so fashion prices. Did I mention thrifting is a great way to be sustainable.

Here is a list of 5 highly desirable fashion archive pieces I would like in my wardrobe.
