Louis and I

So it's been around 3 months since my last post and i have finally found the time to organise myself with new photos.

Now that i'm back from France i am going to attempt to start blogging again, given that i will have a lot of spare time over the next few months, before returning to university at the end of September.

Plus, being back in the UK means that i am reunited with my wardrobe <3

So instead of writing about this, that and the other, i'll get cracking with what i'm meant to be talking about. Clothes!

                                   L.V and ME                                             

Being in France didn't stop my spending habit. If anything, it made me want more things. A dangerous situation to be in when you have a debit card, internet and a free afternoon.

The things i ordered online were delivered to my home in the UK, this was for two reasons:

1: - Packing everything into one case (which was bulging on arrival anyway) seemed a near impossible task, never mind the luggage weight allowance.

2: - It gave me something to look forward to when i arrived home.

So knowing this, I ended up getting a little giddy at times. Here are some of the things i bought . . .

Blazer: Jacket, Selected

Scarf: Orange Squiggle, Online Seditionaries Store

Jeans: Anglomania + Lee, Vivienne Westwood

Bag: Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Keepall, Louis Vuitton

High Tops: Stephen Sprouse, Louis Vuitton









Everyone in France has a bag. You'll be walking along the street and see about 4/5 Louis Vuittons for every 20 people you pass. Small, large, brown, even furry. So after eight months of this, i eventually gave in and bought the Stephen Sprouse version of the Keepall.
I love the orange graffiti as i feel a lot of the Louis Vuitton bags end up looking quite similar, and i'm not one to normally 'blend in.'
The shoes i randomly found on a website whilst browsing the internet one day. I realised that they matched the bag and before i knew it the card had made an appearance once again. Damn you card!

The bag is so useful, it's big enough to fit everything you could need, even for a weekend away, yet it manages to be just as useful if you're out running errands and need something to quickly throw all of your stuff into.

The only fault i could give it, would be that it has no inside pockets.



Vuitton must have twigged on to that little money-making niche because there is a small wallet available which you can buy. It has a long chain and a clip to attach to a small ring inside the bag. However, for around £500 for such a small wallet, i think i'll stick to my things rolling around in the bottom of my bag.




The black skull charm on the bag is a Vivienne Westwood clip which was attached to a pair of jeans i bought in France. I clipped it on because i didn't really have another use for it at the time.

I found the orange squiggle scarf on a Seditionaries store when i was browsing eBay one day. It's Gold with the screen printed 'squiggle' pattern in Orange.
They are based in Camden, London and have loads of punk inspired t-shirts etc. Here's a link to their store: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/londonpunkrepro

I wore this orange and blue look to go shopping. Needless to say it turned a few heads, people either love or hate the bag and shoes. But i'm a fan and they'll definitely be making quite a few appearances during the summer.
