Teenagers and their fashion;

Being a teenager is hard at times, we deal with all the normal things; exams, relationships, friendships, school and stress. But on top of this we have to deal with fashion. Each of us try and have are own style, we can either be ridiculed for it or praised for it. But either way it’s hard for us; if we get ridiculed there is more than likely going to be a social stigma or stereo type attached to you; you wear skinny jeans - your emo, you wear sports branded clothing, you’re a chav. Many people judge us on what we wear, even if they don’t know us, many of them don’t look twice if your outfit is not fashionable, and cool.

There is many unpublished rules for our teenage fashion, you cant wear anything remotely the same as any one else and you have to have a completely different outfit for every occasion. What happened to the times when it didn’t matter if what you wore was not ‘in’ and ‘up to date’?

In an ideal world everyone would have their own style and opinions about fashion and the fashion world. In my opinion, real fashion is when an individual person expresses their personality, feelings and ambitions in what they wear. It doesn’t have to be liked, surely the thing that really matters is how that certain person feels when they wear their clothes and outfits? Who cares if it’s liked or not?

Thanks for reading,

My favourite current trend;

Here’s a trend which is really inspiring me and my outfits at the moment, it has been inspiring me for months & will most likely carry on to inspire me into the coming winter months; it can be dressed up or down, made to look geeky or vintage and it looks totally lush either way!

This trend is all aimed at ‘the boyfriend look’, it’s more of a masculine style but with a cute feminine twist. Many clothing stores are actually selling girls clothes that are made to look more masculine - however dont be scared or ashamed to go and take a look in male sections of shops, Topman rather than Topshop! For this look try;-

- braces, oversized shirts (raid your dads wardrobe!), brogues (I’m actually in love!) and also try the boyfriend blazer.

Geek this style up with pearls and clear lens glasses!

Black brogues - Peacocks - £15.00,

Grey blazer - Topshop - £60.00,

Blue Shirt - Topshop -£28.00,

Clear lens glasses - ASOS - £10.00.

Autumns finally here guys!

A must have this season are biker boots, personally I feel they will be the best thing you could possibly buy this season!
Whether they are teamed with jeans, skirts or dresses you cant go wrong - they can most certainty make an outfit!
These boots are defiantly my favourite - a steal from Peacocks at just £25.00!
These boots are available from most Peacocks stores, and are also available online!
You can get them in Grey, Black or Blue - personally the grey is the nicest!
These slouch ankle boots have a slight twist on the traditional biker boot, however they still lovely!
These are another steal from Peacocks at just £22.00!

This is another lovely pair of leather biker boots, form River Island.
They are available in brown or black - but are quite expensive at £74.99!



Another must have is a nice jacket or coat, whether you'll be wearing it to go shopping or to walk the dog the key is style and comfort.
My favourite coat style has to be the Military coat, with is eye catching big metal buttons and high collar.
This coat is absolutely fabulous! It is certainty a favourite of mine.
This coat is from River Island and is selling at £69.99.
However i'm sure you can find this style of coat elsewhere at a cheaper price!


Another favourite coat of mine is this Dolly coat from Newlook. The colour will suit all skin tones, and it very quaint. It is made of a woolen mix - which will certainty keep you snug and warm!
£60.00 from Newlook

This jumper is adorable, just perfect for the autumn days! Teamed with jeans or leggings, this jumper is a must.
£25.00 Newlook.

If you'd rather have a jumper without an image on it, try a plain grey or brown - or even try autumn coloured stripes!




Statement Jewellery


One thing I love more than anything thing is jewellery. Jewellery can certainty make any outfit, whether it's just to add that extra bit of glamour and sparkle or to draw focus to a certain area of an outfit.

2. Statement necklace;


I love any type of multi-row chain necklace. I love this one, because it has incorporated both coloured metals (gold & silver) and pearls :)

I love this ring! The sheer size of this ring caught my attention, along with the bright orange colouring!
This ring is the perfect ring the brighten up any outfit!

4. Statement corsage, or brooch;

I adore this brooch! Either pinned onto a blazer, cardigan or bag it will defiantly grab attention. It's very cutesy and kitsch!

5. Anything with pearls on;

I'm a right sucker for pearls, whether they are your grandmas or bought from a high street shop they instantly give a touch of character to any outfit. I love adding pearls to outfits to give the impression of geeky, indie and vintage.
