"I just love how Atlanta always combines colors, prints and textures in an outfit and makes it look so put together without trying too hard." {Francheska, Fashion Canvas} My sentiments exactly. I loooove this style!

I have a dress just like this leopard print one that I wore for new year's eve... Perhaps it's a little too ridiculously short for day time, but worn with a denim jacket, leather boots and a slew of bejewelled accessories at night, this could be the start of a beautiful relationship. (And hey, I’ll still look like a scruff bag but then at least then there will be a reason behind it!)

Ps. Party last night was ace, although I barely made it. Not even a free bar of champagne is appealing after 13 hours of constant brain whirring. Booo. (Although I did get my bum papped when I walked in! Ha. They were looking for Jamie Campbell Bower...)

Wild side

The internet is soooo slow back at the farm this Christmas, so apart from a few tentative puffs on the web (plus a hella lot of Gossip Girl – thanks little sister for the boxset, I have now lost any desire I once had to crawl back a social life in the countryside) my blogging has been, dare I say, non existant. But with a new year’s eve party to gather dressing up ideas for (plus my birthday coming up), I couldn't abstain from fashion gorging completely. These pics are from the winter edition of Jalouse magazine... yummy. And perfect for outfit ideas! I brought a gorgeous skinny leapord print dress in Topshop the other day - alas, not on sale, but you can’t have everything. And now all I need to add are lashings of chunky gold, chains, some ripped tights, black nail polish, backcombed hair, perhaps a black eye mask and kohl, kohl, kohl and voila! New year's eve outfit: done.
