Oohhh ive not posted a blog in such a long time, i have been off visiting my sister and my new nephew :) I really didn't wana leave the lovely sunny Dubai climate, but i'm now back.

I thought i would share a few of my recent purchases...
Im loving the peplum trend and this black leather perforated top with a peplum element is just amazing and so versatile and flattering. Also on the leather front, i finally got my hands on this black patent leather box tee that i have been after for ages now, i just could never get it in my size.
And finally from H&M is this gorgeous peach blazer jacket, which i am in love with, it is perfect for these bright yet chilly days and the huge S/S pastel trend, i just had to snap this up as soon as it hit store...





I've also purchased some vintage accessories, a amazing burgundy mock croc clutch with a gold chain handle, a rose print dull-gold chain belt and another chain belt, a brighter gold with colourful charms and coins hanging off it, all three for a bargain price £15 can you believe that....







In one of my first posts, i mentioned the two vintage dresses that i bought for £10 each, well here are the pictures, one of them i am wearing in my first picture post, but here you can see it properly, the structure of it is really good, such lucky bargains!

Ok so we knew already that Victoria Beckham was  proving her worth in the fashion world with each season, but this picture officially seals it.....she has only gone and scored top marks by having Anna Wintour attend her show and of course be placed front row centre, next to her ever gorgeous husband at her A/W '12 show....Amazing!

Mixing with fashion royalty: David sat next to Vogue editor-in-chief as he took snaps from the front row

Ok, so to say that i am obsessed with Rachel Zoe would be a HUGE understatement!! I just love her and i am so inspired by her and her career.
So when i seen her latest offering to the fashion world with her A/W 2012 collection, the love just grew. I loved everything that was shown, but I've selected my favourite looks that sashayed down the runway, i cant describe how much i want those leather flared trousers!!!

Hi everybody, my name is Francine and i am finally starting my blog on all things fashion. I’ve wanted to do this for ages now but have never really had the time! So i am finally making a start... a nervous one at that, as a majorly avid reader of fashion blogs, its quite nerve wracking starting your own one, you think will people find it interesting, will they like my fashion choices, will they get me, i hope you all do! As im sure your love of fashion is just as strong as mine.

Im currently studying Fashion Buying and Merchandising, so i thought this a ample opportunity for me to stop being lazy and finally get this blog up and running, im learning lots from my studies and it is just increasing my huge love of the fashion world.

Im going to be posting pictures of what i am wearing as well as chatting about my love of all things vintage, what i am loving/hating, my fashion finds and wants and general all-round fashion and beauty topics, hope you enjoy.....



Check out this amazing dresses that i picked up in a vintage shop in Liverpool for just £10! I also got another dress in a gorgeous pink colour (pics to follow)

I wore the peach one, which i altered to a shorter length for date-night with my lovely boyfriend, i love the colour and cut of it, it reminds me of the style of a Victoria Beckham dress, only a few 000’s off her price tag.

The vintage shop that i got these dresses from is fairly new and it is amazing, its huge!! I pop in there all of the time to see if there are any new treasures, which there always is, i just want to buy everything!

I am wearing it with a silky blazer from Zara, tights from Marks and Spencer, a H&M Scarf and bag and my amazing black suede Aldo shoes.
I thought i would dress the look down with a messy side plait, i love wearing my hair in this style as it means your not messing with your hair all night, like i seem to do for some reason!

I love make up too, so i thought i would share my make up i have on.....I'm wearing Elizabeth Arden flawless finish foundation in Toasty Beige, Dior blush in Rose Vintage, Dior Showgirl mascara, Illamasqua Eye-Brow cake in Thunder. Bourjois Clubbing liquid eyeliner and Illamasqua lipstick in Ignite
