Topshop Treats

Topshop Treats

Topshop Treats by ambreengharshia featuring jacquard pants

1) Triangle Shard Drop Earrings - These are so awesome. I've only started getting into the whole neon trend in the past couple of months, which, I know is like a bazillion years after everyone else. I'm still playing it safe though, sticking with neon accessories rather than clothing. I think these would look great with any outfit, just to add that unexpected pop of colour. Hence, they are on the top of my ever-growing wish list.
2) Scratch Graffiti Midi Dress - I'm jumping on to the whole midi dress bandwagon a tad bit late aswell. Topshop have got lots and lots of midi dresses at the moment, in quite a large range of colours and patterns. If you're not big on patterns, they do some really nice solid colours which would look amazing paired with a slouchy knit. Because, hey, we are still in February people.
3) Adonis2 Cut Out Heavy Boots - Everybody and their mothers have these boots I think. Who cares though, when they look this bloody cool. I'm totally willing to blend in with crowd, for sake of these boots!
4) Jacquard Cigarette Trousers - I really, really like these trousers. They're a bright colour, and have a pattern of sorts but it's not in-your-face-omg-look-at-me. Hence, why I think I would wear them. I'm trying to justify why I would want to buy them, but I don't think I need to really. I mean, look at them! They're beautiful.
5) 3 Colour Block Shirt - The name says it all really. This is definitely not something I would go for, but I think it would make a really nice Spring/Summer addition to anybodies (including mine) wardrobe. I like how it has a half-sleeve, so convenient for summer! Not that we ever get a proper summer in England.
6) ABC Print Split Maxi Skirt - Yet another maxi I want to add to my collection. It's cool. Like uber cool. I also know that everybody will most probably be wearing it. I still don't care, I think that there's so many ways to style it, so it would be worth the money.
7) Cord Box Chain Collar - There's such a Spring feel to this necklace. It would look so good with an oversized white shirt, buttoned right up and this thrown on. Plus, it's neon!
8) Ready T-bar Buckle Sandals - Heels, heels, heels. I am so in love these. The fact that they are white and black is the main attraction for me. They would look so good with almost anything I think. They also have a burgundy and black pair!

This is the first time I've used Polyvore, I'm still trying to figure out how it works! Just thought I'd show you my favourite items from Topshop this week. I'm thinking of doing some for Zara, Miss Selfridge etc etc. Would you be interested? Let me know!

Have a great weekend!

'S wonderful

João Gilberto


Finally got time to walk 10 steps out of my house and take photographs. -.-. I'm slacking, I know.
Its been a busy start to the year, and the cold weather doesn't help when your out and about doing architectural site surveys. Numb fingers! 
Finally had the chance to meet up with Ambreen on Saturday and we're hoping to start doing more creative shoots, like we used to. Exciting!

A dew of silver light was ever falling

J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings





Everyone enjoy boxing day shopping?
I was feeling slightly lazy this morning and ended up getting out of the house at about 3pm; not good when the shops close at 5pm!
 2 hours is not enough time for when going sale shopping. But I did manage to pick up this amazing necklace from new look at the bargain price of only £5! .. but shhh, that's just between us.

Sparks

Coldplay



Thought we'd try something a little different and post a short video. I have to admit the quality isn't amazing, but hopefully with practise we will reach perfection! 
I put together a neater outfit today for a trip to the theatre with the family.

In the cold, cold night

The White Stripes


Sorry for the lack of post's recently, we've clearly failed our post-a-day mission!
This was my masculine outfit for the day. Personally, I think as long as it is paired with heels and jewellery (which admittedly isn't always), my masculine choice of clothing works nicely.
Hope everyone's enjoying the holidays! love Christmas time.

On your way

Alabama shakes


Quick post from a day out shopping with the family last weekend. The weather was amazing. 
You can really feel winter creeping in.

How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail

Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll




Went for Bree's birthday meal today; a non formal get together.
We came to the conclusion that I might have found my signature look. Exciting!
 My description of it was dark and punk-ish, but I think I'm going to stick to Ambreen's words; high end and elegant.
Heres a few shots me and my brother took

Hypnotise you

N.E.R.D


Jacket - New look
T-shirt - Jack & Jones
Jeans - Primark

We've been trying to do a-post-a-day for this month. So far so good!
The weather was horrible today. I don't mind the cold, but when the heavens decide to open (which they often do in Manchester) I think twice about stepping outside. Which is exactly why, the only time I went out today was to take these pictures! 
However sitting at home all day today, allowed me to opt for a comfy, easy-to-throw-together, jeans and a t-shirt combo. The layered jacket and wedge heels add femininity to the outfit (which I'm sure Ambreen will give me a thumbs up for) and the black ties the other colours together nicely. 
Should finally be seeing Ambreen tomorrow, so watch out for our post together. Not had one of those in a while!

Her enchanted hair

Dante Rossetti


Finally got round to dying my hair! I think it had been almost a month since the last time I had done it. Although it looks more red in these pictures, its still a crazy shade of pink. I'm thinking I might change it soon, something to suit the winter season more, a purple maybe, or a deep red? 
Hope you all enjoyed the weekend! 
Decembers finally here and I seem to be waking up to a combination of fog and frost every morning. Lovely x
