Golden girl.

Few things make me happier than waking up to find my Vogue and Bazaar subscriptions on the doormat, and this month's Vogue was littered with inspiration for me. The most significant of this came from the cover star Cameron Diaz whom, unbelievably, i had forgotten about completely.
Flicking through a few of this weeks Best Dresses lists, i found her wearing these two ensembles - both of which i think are absolute gems. I particularly like the nude shorts and blazer combo, and am extremely envious of her endless legs!

Festival favourites.

With the festival season fast-approaching, my Kate Moss obssession is coming back strong. These pictures are some of my old favourites of the supermodel at Glasto '04. Absolute classic festival style. She looks comfortable but still super-sexy.

In the Kate vs Sienna festival style debate, Kate wins hands down for me. Don't get me wrong, Sienna is gorgeous (especially the hair) but Kate has got the effortless look down to a tee.

I've noticed Kate Bosworth looking pretty good at Coachella this year too, so i'll be keeping my eyes peeled...

Nautical or NO-tical?

I am undecided. The nautical thing has always suggested 'try-hard' to me, and it usually just looks too neat. However, i think Kate Moss does pull this off - the red jacket is kind of kooky and i think the addition of the cropped trousers definately helps. Then again, there isn't really much that Kate Moss can't pull off that i wouldn't choose - Ohh how i envy her!

I love H&M.

These are from the Summer 2010 ad campaign. So gorgeous, i can't wait to buy my bikinis for this year! Love the last picture, with the little girls in - it looks like the dream holiday,.

I couldn't resist putting these old pictures from Summer 2008 up as well. The campaign included Daria Werbowy (shown in these) and the girl now fronting Versace fragrance, Lara Stone. I love that H&M never seems to get dated - i mean these pictures don't look a couple of seasons old, they could pass for new season i think.

PMOTY

This is Playmate of the Year 2010, Hope Dworaczyk. I think she looks really cute in this photo - kind of like a curvier Cheryl?

Annalynne McCord

Actually love this girl's figure - i am insanely jealous. She has really good hair too. Definately a big reminder that i'm gonna have to get into a bikini soon so should probably get myself back into the gym.

Summer - my way.

Prints and patterns are going to be a bit of an essential for me this summer. Gorgeous hair too...

I wouldn't wear this myself - it's a bit rock 'n roll. But i love the studded jacket, especially if it was paired up with a linen tunic, sandals and a killer tan.

Kind of represents my idea of a festival outfit - loose fitting, tribal/folky and a bit sexy. Think i'd wear some slouchy boots rather than the glads though.

I think i'd probably kill for a pair of these Chloe sandals.

I like the simplicity of pale blonde hair, dusky skin and loose-fitting whites.

Difficult times and wonderings.

Eurgh, this has been a hard week. I've been intensely stressed over exams and the boyfriend has proved himself wrong in the trust stakes yet again. I read an article yesterday about a couple who emigrated to Bali with their kids after getting stuck in a rut in London - makes me think. I don't want to even be put into that position - i don't want to be trapped before i escape. England is not for me. I'm uninspired, and just can't seem to find where i belong or what i'm supposed to be doing here.

I find myself seeking more and more solace from what i really love - clothes and fashion and creativity - but can't seem to find a path which would allow that focus to be filtered productively. I suppose only time is going to clarify.

Despite having other such things on my mind, i have managed to collect some pretty good pieces this week.

I found a cute Batik stall at a local fete and got a tie-dye tunic and a white, crinkle kaftan for £15 total (when i finally get myself together with a camera i'll post some pictures) and some nice leather wristbands for pennies. I'm definately leaning towards the global traveller trend this summer.

Also invested in another couple pairs of sandals - you can never have too many! Found a picture of one of the pairs on the New Look website but not the other for some reason - here's a picture of the brown leather ones but i also picked up a pair of white and gold ones in a similar style.
