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!

Kick Off

 Adidas Originals Tech Super

Reebok Classic Nylon Slim

New Balance Windbreaker 574

Saucony Bodega G9 Shadow 6000

So after venturing into Reading town centre and seeing every young girl in a GEEK top wearing Air Maax (all the worst colour ways) I've decided to temporarily give up Nikes. It's always good to switch it up right? I'm getting the itch to buy new trainers so above are some of my picks in classic shapes and retro colours. I'm such a sucker for a good suede. The Saucony's are pretty much the most beautiful shoes I've ever seen and the new Adidas tech supers are their best shape by far. Change is good.

Amsterdam

So I made it over to Dam for a couple of days before Christmas. Now I know i said this about Barcelona, but Amsterdam is definitely my new favourite city! Highlights included Hill Street Blues, checking out all the street art and hunting down every trainer shop in the city including the location of the infamous Patta store. 

A new gallery on Dam square opened up while we were out there by Selwyn Senatori and they kindly let us take a photo of his 'Because I'm Fucking Fashion' piece. Seriously some of the most crazy and inspiring work I've seen featuring everything from Karl Lagerfeild to Mickey Mouse and many 'fucks' in between. The food was amazing, the city was beautiful and the lifestyle is to die for. The photos are not so great but lets be honest, I had better things to be doing out there!

Feeling Fresh

Backpack- Takeover

Sweater- Zara

Snapback- King Apparel

Eagle necklace- Topshop

Shirt- Vintage

Jacket- Vintage

5 panel hat- 10 Deep

Spent my first non-hungover Sunday in about an year taking some photos. Now I'm fully aware I'm no model and no photographer but it kind of beats dying in bed all day. Really wanna get some more of these Takeover bags made cause this fabric is too nice! 

I got Lukas this 10 deep 5 panel for Christmas. Its pretty much him in hat form- I love it when an item of clothing can just sum up a person. These are also some of  my favourite trainers of his. I try them on every time I'm back just in case my feet have grown/these have shrunk. 

No luck as of yet but I will keep trying.

Greed Is Good

Greed Is Good Sweater- Takeover

Disco Pants Cranberry- Americal Apparel

Lace Up Boots- Primark

Mmmmmm new things. I'm currently interning at Primark head office and come across these gorgeous Jeffery Campbell-esqe boots. Love them so much I'm not even bothered about buying real ones now. I party to hard to justify spending hundreds on a pair of heels that i will definitely trash within a month. No Takeover sweaters left but tees still available at www.toukcrew.com ... go see.
