Long and Short of It

A short skirt and a long jumper is an equation that always makes sense to me. There are more pictures of me wearing this skirt styled a little differently here.

The boy is finally home and he brought my engagement ring back with him :) It's such an old piece of jewellery that we were having trouble with a diamond that kept falling out. He took it back to London with him to have the designer repair it and now it's finally back on my finger where it belongs.  It's often joined by at least 3 other rings. I'm a ring magpie.

One word to describe these boots: Comfortable.

I'm so looking forward to my first american halloween. The 'Revenge' cast spent saturday evening at the LA haunted hayride in Griffith park. I screamed my ASS off. I'm such a baby! 

I still don't have a costume for the actual day.... All ideas will be greatly received :)

Standard

Shorts: Courtesy of New Look. Boots: TopShop. T.Shirt: LF.

Shorts are becoming my go to item. I have three pairs on rotation: red ones, stripe ones and my trusty vintage levis. The early morning starts when I'm filming mean I reach for whatever is in the pile at the end of my bed.

It's dawned on me just how much of my wardrobe I left behind in London.... I miss my shoes!

Mountain

T.Shirt: ASOS. Jeans: TopShop. 

Bag: Chanel. Sandals: River Island.

I don't know what I'm going to do when these jeans finally wear out. They are the perfect shade of blue and I haven't seen a pair of blue jeans that I like as much for a very long time... I'm already starting to mourn their demise! 

I started filming 'Revenge' this week. I had a real "pinch me" moment as I was driving myself to work on my first day :) 

Transition

Skirt: Pine. Vest: Urban Outfitters. Boots: TopShop. 

Bag: Mulberry.

I'm back! I've spent the last couple of weeks moving to Los Angeles and getting started on my new TV show 'Revenge' for abc. Lots happening right now!

Hair

I've had quite a few emails regarding my hair recently....

I had my colour done back in March at a salon here in LA called Nine Zero One. The highlights are brushed on and concentrated on the ends and mid lengths of my hair. 

I had my layers cut just before I left London at Rush as they had offered me a complimentary service. The lovely Edra took care of me and I could not have been happier with the cut. I told her I was after long layers and she listened and gave me exactly what I asked for. 

I sometimes use clip in extensions for added length and volume. I'm wearing them in the pictures above. This set are from Head Kandy and I had them highlighted to match my own hair. 

I'm still using Shu Uemura hair oil to keep my hair looking glossy and the ends moist.

I've missed my blog so much!

On Repeat

Skirt & T.Shirt: Courtesy of Anarchy Street. Shoes: Miu Miu. 

Clutch: Alexander Wang. belt: Vintage.

Loving this skirt and top from Anarchy Street. I can see this outfit being a repeat offender- I wore my green one (seen here) over and over again. I like the swooshiness of them !

This will be the last post from LA. We fly back to London later on today. My shoes seeme to have multiplied and I can barely shut my suitcase. When will I learn!?

Fringe Thing

Playsuit: LF. Boots: Sam Edelman. Bag: Alexander Wang. 

Belt & Cuff: Vintage.

Good boots are like buses: You wait for ages and then two come at once. I got these Sam Edelman boots this weekend in a frenzied shopping spree at LF. I love the fringe detail on them. I can see myself wearing them all summer long.

I'm finished with 'Revenge' now. Back in LA for a few days and then..... we head to London!!! Cant wait to see Oscar :)

Bang

Boots & faux leather skirt: Courtesy of Storets.com. 

Shirt: APC. Cardigan: Urban Outfitters

I have nothing but good things to say about Storets.com. Seriously, everything I get from them I love. This skirt makes all my leather skirt dreams come true!

I went to the hairdressers today and was supposed to cut some bangs (a fringe for my fellow English people) but I chickened out at the last minute and just had some layers added. I've decided not to let my fear get the better of me and I'm going back tomorrow and getting myself some bangs.... I think. Eeeek!

Florally Unfit

Dress: Vaudeville & Burlesque. Jacket: TopShop. 

Bag: Courtesy of Nicole Miller. Boots: ASOS.

For those of you back in England you'll be seeing this dress on TV very soon. It's part of Molly's wardrobe from 'Bedlam'. I wasn't convinced about it at first because I'm not really a "pretty dress" kind of girl but my leather jacket toughens it up nicely. Molly wears it with patent Mary Janes and a Princess coat... She's much nicer then I am ;)

I am in love with this bag! The bike chain strap, the mustard yellow lining, the satchel vibe, the leather.... I love it all. 

P.S Where has all the LA sunshine gone?!

 

Zest

Jeans, Shirt & Leather Jacket: TopShop. 

Shoes: Miu Miu. Bag: Alexander Wang. 

Lipstick: MAC 'Lady Danger'.

Approximations of this outfit have become almost my 'audition' uniform whilst here in LA. I love the reliability of a silk shirt, they're a true cornerstone in my closet. I loved the shape of this one so much that I bought it in two colours. See the grey one here.

I hit the vintage market on Fairfax and Melrose this weekend. If any of you plan to be in LA soon, it's well worth a visit. I got another pair of the denim cut offs that I love so much. $10!!! Don't get me started on how much these cost in Urban Outfitters in the UK! See my old pair here, here & here. The new ones will be up as soon as it's warm enough to wear them again.... It's actually been cold here this week. Yuck.
