Why I love..

STEVIE NICKS, QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL























This lady is an icon, and an underrated one at that. I wake up most mornings feeling disappointed that firstly, I'm not Stevie Nicks and secondly, there will never again be anyone like Stevie Nicks.

Called the 'Queen of Rock and Roll' by Rolling Stone - I cannot help but adore this woman. She's beautiful, and quirky, and seems to bring everything she possibly can to the table. I know a lot of people won't know who she is - although I'm sure most people know Fleetwood Mac - but she's a very interesting woman who's paved the way for a lot of other female artists as well as overcome personal battles like drug addiction and divorce.
Her inspirations were Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, she's waited tables so that she could afford to write songs and wore platform boots so that she didn't feel small. She's just too cool. Her style is one I would kill for, although I don't know how she manages to pull it off. I only wish I could wear capes, lace and renaissance berets without looking like I'm too early for Halloween.

Anyway, there it is. Please go and listen to her music! Or buy a Fleetwood Mac album. Believe me, once you hear the intro to Edge of Seventeen you will never be the same again.

Wardrobe wishlist...

1/ Apperley brogue chelsea boots, £75 - 2/ Knitted angora cable jumper, £46 - 3/ Moto midi pini dress, £45 - 4/ Elastic waist midi dress, £26 - 5/ Cornelli shoulder crop top, £25 - 6/ Linen stripe long sleeve tee, £18

The seasons are changing, and so once more is my wardrobe. I'm very good at changing my style with the weather. It's exciting really, the new colours and silhouettes and the different things that people start wearing. Anyway, this wish list pretty much sums up what I'm loving so far this Autumn. Midi lengths, cable knits, breton stripes and vintage florals with boyish chelsea boots to make it a bit more casual. I particularly like these items because they seem very versatile - I can imagine myself wearing these things layered up, or with skinny jeans that I already own.

My newest venture is to try and create a capsule wardrobe, so hopefully these key items will feature!

Also, must remember to buy lots of woollen tights and a boyfriend coat. It's definitely a 1940's meets 1920's feel for me this year. 

What do you all think? Have you seen anything quirky in the shops this season?

Topshop has a few gems at the moment. Not usually a high street girl but they've won me over of course.

Au revoir lovely readers...

Au revoir
