anyone who knows me will know that i am addicted/infatuated/obsessed with leopard print. all are appropriate words. i say this every year that leopard print comes back into fashion "i was wearing it first". Primark do these little £4 pumps have you seen them? well i've owned about 8 pairs and each have been falling to pieces when i finally decided to throw them away. 

i.love.leopard.print.

and to celebrate this love todays www is this absolutely stunning swarovski crystal encrusted iPhone case. at £135 its a bit of a hefty price, but i am definitely considering asking my parents for this as a birthday or christmas present. 

you can buy it from here. and hey- there's even free express shipping. haha.

you know you love me...

I don't know many things... I'm not academically gifted, I don't know how to draw, I can't even play an instrument... But I do know one thing... Gossip Girl is one of the best TV shows ever created. The fashion, the beautiful people, the manipulation, the lifestyle... Don't get me wrong quite a lot of the complex characters seem to live quite a lonely life- I'm on season 3 right now and Serena may have the looks but she didn't really have any friends at one point...

Which leads me to explain why that photo above is so drab. I have no make up on, and am wearing a leopard print tee from H&M and some Superdry trackies. Today is my 'catch-up-on-gossip-girl-day'. Being at uni last year and having a very active social/drinking life, didn't leave me much time to watch TV programmes (or study for that matter... -must.change.ways.) so in honour of season 4 coming on to our screens and starting a new leaf, I'm tryna catch up to have that weekly suspense feeling at the end and beginning of each episode. Lovely jubbly.

funny feeling inside...

After I spent hours on the new header ( i'm so retarded when it comes to design!), I feel like I'm quickly becoming addicted to xoxo avs. I spent the morn brainstorming all sorts of exciting posts, weekly features& suchthings.

Do you like the new look?

quicktime...

The outfit: Dorothy Perkins Blazer, Primark Tee & Necklace, F21 Jeans, New Look Sandals. 

Today I got dressed in super quick time as I made plans to meet my best friend for dinner, 5 minutes before we were meant to meet... This meant there was no time for that long rigmarole of washing my hair, blow drying and then straightening or curling so I quickly shoved it into a ponytail (with the aid of 10 grips) and put this old silk scarf around my head, tied into a Gaga-esque bow and I was done. 

I know a lot of fashion bloggers always say that they hate jeans/denim, because I guess in a way it's lazy...It's the easy option. This is why I love jeans so much (and I'm not a fashion blogger), I own about 20 different pairs of jeans (I go through favourite phases though!) and tend to wear them with pretty much anything; cardigans, blazers, leather jackets, t-shirts, shirts, tops, short dresses, etc etc... 

Along with the jeans my military boots are fast becoming a staple in my wardrobe, I love mixing them with a cutesy dress and a leather jacket or ripped jeans and a chunky cardigan. Versatility goes a long way in my wardrobe! And it doesn't just stop at clothes either...

When I got back off of my holiday in June I brought a bag from Egypt it was a black 'leather' bag that had short and long straps so you could wear in in so many different styles... For the first two weeks back from my holiday I centred each of my outfits around that one bag! 

What is your staple item of clothing?

xoxo avs

P.S in case you were wondering if I simply ran out of clothing to centre outfits around the bag or if I fell out of love with it, neither were the case... I used the bag so much that these tiny little screws fell out and the handles are in danger of falling off any day now... :(

samantha knows best.

- “From my experience, honey, if he seems too good to be true—he probably is. [Samantha Jones]”

Starting to watch entire series of Sex and the City and I love iiiit. I only watched it on and off previously,  and when I saw the movies I knew I'd have to invest (or borrow from my bestie Katie) the Box Set.

Carrie has a wardrobe to die for. (Love how the HBO Sex and the City website credits the fashion)
Samantha is my idol in terms of job, shes a successful PR, me likey!
Charlotte is suuuuch a sweetie. love her.
Miranda, well...Miranda is Miranda. The  androgynous one.

p.s my favourite quote:
“You men have no idea what we're dealing with down there. Teeth placement, and jaw stress, and suction, and gag reflex, and all the while bobbing up and down, moaning and trying to breathe through our noses. Easy? Honey, they don't call it a job for nothin'. [Samantha Jones]”

addictions...

you know they put these additives in pringles to make them addictive? 

...so its true: once you pop, you cant stop. 

jeeeez.

wednesday wishing...

...Chanel Classic Quilted Chain Bag...

This little beauty has been on my wishlist for many years, I have had many imitations, but none have come close to the beauty, quality, and perfection of the real deal...  One day, my Prince Charming will hand me this beautiful bag and ask me to marry him, I am not fussed about a ring, just a Chanel Handbag... ahhh. True Love. (The handbag I mean, not the Prince Charming stuff.)
