Style Crush: Brit Style!







Hi lovely bloggers!
So I just wanted to do a little homage to how much I am enchanted with the style here in the UK.... And I thought French girls were supposed to be the stylish ones! Now don't get me wrong - french girls are stylish too, but in a totally different way. French girls are stylish in a more traditional, pulled-together and tailored way. Brits are stylish in a eclectic and unique way that I absolutely adore! And no wonder - who wouldn't be chic growing up in a city with such a fabulous array of stores??? I am starting to take some photos of some of the unique little boutiques and shops I've stumbled upon and will share them all with you soon.

Until then... the top photo is of a shirt I picked up today at Pop Boutique near Covent Gardens - a fabulous vintage store which I will definitely be returning to! The lower photo is simply a tourist photo, but I liked the outfit. It's a little bit harder to do personal style posts over here without my boyfriend to act as photographer!

Anyways, the bottom three are photos taken from the streethearts, the style scout, and styleclicker. These photos demonstrate how each Londoner seems to pull of their own slightly unique spin on the current trends, as well as classics. I love the London look!

Anyways, hope you guys like these photos & thanks, as always, for all your sweet comments!

Love,
K.xx

Back to the Future








First thing my mom says when I bring home these pants: "I had a pair just like that, that I donated to the Salvation Army!"
As always... THANKS MOM!
Anyways, I hope you guys like my new purchases. I sure had fun shooting these photos yesterday, and I have another 'nautical' look I'll put up soon.
I've been trying the photo that inspired me to purchase these pants but I looked all over style.com and can't find the photo yet... but I will continue my search! I saw another photo of the same girl in a magazine yesterday... this girl has an amazing, very inspirational sense of style that I will definitely be following. I need to figure out who she is exactly.
What else is new...? Think my boyfriend and I are headed to Vermont to a friend's place for a few days. Also, my interview for today was cancelled (boo!) and moved to Tuesday. I was looking forward to the interview so I'm not best pleased.
But oh well...

Lots of love,
K.xx

Escaping my Problems





Hi all,
Sorry I haven't posted too much in the past week... my life has been crazy hectic due to a multitude of factors. I managed to mess up one of my submissions for my temporary working visa in London. As a result I'm going to be delayed in leaving for a month and a half, which destroys many of my summer plans. Frustrating! So now I have to get a regular job in the meantime, which I will probably have to skip out on last minute when my visa decides to go through.
So as if that isn't frustrating enough I also managed to get into a car accident this week. It wasn't my fault at all... a little old lady ran a red light and crashed into the side of my Crown Vic. Still a nuisance though as I have a big dent in the side of my car and need to handle all of that insurance jazz. FUN.
Anyways, I didn't mean for this post to turn into one big sob story but I did need to vent just a little bit so thank you all for hearing me out!
These photos were taken at my cottage by my boyfriend, I escaped up there yesterday and today for a mental health vacation! We did two other looks that I'll be posting over the next few days.... I hope you like!

With love,
K xx


PS. It's been very cold here the past week --- 10 degrees Celcius during the day and below freezing at night, so YES the fur vest is justified darlings :)
