May

 

Made one of my best decisions to date and took the week off work and headed back to Kettering. This weather is too good to miss and work was getting more stressful so a break was definitely needed, luckily I have loads of holiday to use up before I finish at the end of June. Then its back to the student life.

I am determined to get as many photos and outfit posts done in the next week whilst I have to free time and photographer. Though it is to easy to just get caught up doing nothing and chilling in the sun. I will try though. So heres the first of hopefully many photos to come.

Run The Streets

Photos by Sean Van Dam

Went for a little night time photoshoot- Lukas looks better then me but I'll let him have this one. These Nike Air Max 1 'perf' were a very belated christmas present from myself to him. So glad I made him wait as these are far more beautiful than any December releases. I'm still living in monochrome and hating on colour. Maybe this will change as Summer comes, maybe not.

So many beautiful, expensive and exclusive things. This is how I plan to dress when the British sun eventually comes out. In reality I will probably be wearing some beaten up trainers, a plastic necklace, charity shop sunglasses and my boyfriend's tee. 

As you can probably tell I'm feeling Monochrome, Leather, Clean shapes, Sports influences, Vintage fabrics, Snakeskin, Burgundy and Gold. 

I'm fully aware that this is pretty much the same look in slight variations but I like what I like so I shall stick with that. I've already missed out on the Supreme cap and Nike Dunks- currently going on eBay for £££. So so tempted...

Tassie Devil- New Balance 998

Yet another pair of sneakers to add to the long list of beautiful shoes i will never be able to own. Damn small feet and expensive taste. So desperate for another pair of New Balance and these are the best i've seen yet. I guess I'm just gonna have to let this one go. Anyone with not so tiny feet and £150 to spare can win a chance to buy them  here.

Lookbook

Favourite dress, favourite trainers, favourite jacket, favourite hat. 

Easyyyy.

Sophisticated Vandalism

  

Royal Drip Sweater- Takeover- £45

Leather Skirt- ASOS sample

Sunglasses- Vintage

I just had to get some photos in this sweater before it went for sale online- it is definitely my favourite piece so far. It is a shame that I will never wear it again however you can now buy it at www.touk.bigcartel.com. My mum picked up this skirt for me from the ASOS sample sale and its real leather and fits perfect so i'm very impressed with that. I think both pieces work well together- looks very regal and almost theatrical. It pretty much sums up the name of the collection- Sophisticated Vandalism. 

Something a little different.

Krink Photoshoot

Photos: Sean Van Dam

Hair: Paul Watts Hairdressing

Now unfortunately I couldn't make it to this shoot- girls gotta work- but Takeover teamed up with Paul Watts Hair for our Sophisticated Vandalism capsule collection. The Salon was the perfect setting to get some promotional shots and is a world away from our usual grimey locations. Chandeliers and vintage wallpaper are right up my street. This is possibly one of my favourite photoshoots so pretty gutted I missed it but very impressed with the photos and the clothes look so so good!

The collection is now available to buy online!
