RedRock Fashion Challenge

Before strays who know me appear and begin laughing out loud at the 'F' word in the title of this post, I feel I should let you all know that fashion really isn't something that people relate me to. I tend to stick to what I feel comfortable in and, to be honest, if I was wearing what I put together for this blogging fashion challenge I would definitely not feel comfortable. However, I have always wanted to be the kind of person who could wander into my local Tesco's in a pair of Litas and feel completely normal, so putting together this kind of outfit has kind of always been a way of playing make-believe. I can dream can't I?! 

Anyhow, I put this together for the RedRock Fashion Blogger Challenge because it looked fun to do and I love playing around with stuff like this. 

I used two items of clothing from the RedRock website (also available on Asos) and then the rest of the items are all from Asos as I wanted to keep it all to as few places as possible. 

I have no idea how this would look on, but I was aiming to kind of clash some cutesy items with something a little more 'leather and studs'. At first I was going to go for a red, blue and white look, but after all of the Jubilee and London Olympics stuff that colour scheme was really beginning to make me a little queasy. 

RedRock- Pia Blouse £28.99,
RedRock-Tina Shorts £52.99,
ASOS- Ribbed Over The Knee Socks £4.00,
ASOS- Limited Edition Leather Stud Wrap Bracelet £15,
ASOS- Shard Articulated Necklace £10,
ASOS- Cambridge Satchel Company Black Leather 11" Satchel £90,
ASOS- ABEL Leather Lace Up Ankle Boot £80

If I'm honest, I'm really not sure about the boots or the necklace, but I just went with my gut instinct. I'd love to see how this would actually look like on a human, as oppose to a computer screen. Then again, I'd probably just cringe at how dreadful it would turn out... 

Also, apologies for how small these picture sets are (see also the July Wishlist post), the extra large size goes over the edges of my theme, but this one seems to small... I may have to re-vamp my theme... 

The RedRock Fashion Blogging Challenge post.

Wishlist: July 2012

I've been aiming to do one of these for a while, and almost did. However, literally just as I'd finished my laptop overheated and the entire thing was lost. My screams could probably be heard in Narnia. 

Yumi- City Print Dress £40,
Warehouse- Floral Jacket £30,
Zara TRF- Ripped Skinny Jeans £12.99,
Rock 'N Rose- Tahani Vintage Snake Wrap Ring £11,
Superdrug- Essie Nail Polish Mint Candy Apple £7.99,
Topshop- Lips In Infrared £8,
Kukee- Skull Bangle Bracelet £3.50

I've wanted this dress ever since I first visited the Yumi website, but having recently thrifted a NewLook dress in a very similar print for just £6, I don't think I could really justify it.

This floral jacket for Warehouse is definitely not something many people would think I'd want, but I actually think that this would look pretty cool paired with just a white vest top and some skinny jeans.

Talking of skinny jeans, the only pair that I even own at the moment are my Jack Wills super skinny jeans, which are fabulous, but sometimes feel a little dark to wear in hot weather. Hence why I love these ripped style skinnies in Zara, and for only £13, why not?!

I've actually been looking for a bangle exactly like this ring in Rock 'N Rose, but failing to find one cheap enough/simple enough, I've now set my heart on it in ring form instead.

Having started to grow my nails a little longer and beginning to paint them again, I discovered that my all time favourite nail polish from Rimmel London Lycra Pro (shade 500/Peppermint) has become completely impossible to apply. After spending ages trying to find it once more I instead saw this Essie polish in a similar tone. WANT.

This lipstick is entirely Zoella's fault. I've fallen into the never ending tunnel of orange. Help, someone, please. (I've actually been looking for this since sometime around May, but none of the Topshops that I visit regularly have a makeup section.)

Finally, I for some unknown reason desperately want the gold tone version of this little skull bangle from Kukee. I instantly fell in love with this website (I'll give you three guesses as to why...) and this is definitely my favourite item.




I may actually do a Charity Shop haul at some point in the near future, but I'm not entirely sure if it's worth it.
