Yes Sir!

Hello,

Sorry I have not posted recently, I have been pretty busy catching up with friends, sorting out my life with jobs and careers and getting ready for my holiday (so so excited!) What have you all been up to?

Please do follow me on Twitter for more frequent updates where I will post links to my latest blog posts, comment on fashion and beauty news, my recent spending splurges and will ask all of you for your opinion on the beauty and fashion of the moment.

I am currently loving this 'Moustache' trend which is creeping up everywhere. Quirky, fun and British the handlebar facial moustache became popular in 18th and 19th century by the typical gentlemen of England and was then found popular around the world. Transfering this iconic image onto tshirts and jewllery I think this trend is very suited at the moment with everyone getting patriotic with the Royal Wedding, The Diamond Jubilee and The Olympics. I have never seen the country embrace British tradition so much and it seems the Fashion industry is jumping on the bandwagon too.

It just shows you can always add a twist to traditional British values. Here are my favourite high street buys which have been inspired with the moustache trend. The Missguided grey top is already in my shopping basket!

British is beautiful

Hello! I have been really getting into British spirit recently. There are so many wicked British inspired pieces in the shops which are really cool and wearable not just for the Jubilee weekend but suitable all season too. Whether it is to reflect these summer days we have been having or for when the typical British wet summer returns there is something for everyone. You don't even have to have the flag plastered all over you to be part of the cheering clang. Block colours of red, blue and white can show your support for the Jubilee weekend. There are also some non royal colour items that are stylish and patriotic if you can't stand the royal palette with leopard print union jacks and English brouges and loafers.

I hope you enjoy what I have put together and let me know your favourite! I personally love the Red is Royal moodboard with the Motel Bowler Hat tank top that I discovered on Asos - so cute! Definitely a 'want' item. What are you all wearing for the Jubilee? Are you celebrating in style?
