Style High Club

Little anecdote: my boyfriend and I met at a club night called ‘Down the Rabbit hole’. Awww, those were the days.

Topshop have come up with a new range called Wonderland and it has ‘BUY ME’ written all over it.

Urban Outifitters are having a sale. There are some serious bargains to be made:

 H Chalayan shorts £69.99

 Manoush ruffle T-shirt £79.99

 See by Chloe linen dress £129.99

 Erotokritos dress £129.99

H Chalayan chiffon dress £179.99

 H Chalayan dress £229.99

I  dashed into Uniqlo yesterday to try on the Wang shift but sadly it looked awkward on me and the grey drained my pale skin even more.

When walking past Topshop, I noticed this floral dress by Australian designer Alice McCall. It’s probably the most boring and ‘unfashiony’ item in her capsule collection, but could I ever say no to two black bows?

But I quite like this one. I’m a fan of American designer Alexander Wang’s sharp monochrome tailoring so I was quite looking forward to his line for Uniqlo. There will be five dresses in total all for under £30. I am sure the white/grey shift (second below) will find its way into my wardrobe.

I had a power walk down Regent Street during my lunch break. Partly to buy the Kurt Geiger heels (resistance was futile!), party to check out Reiss. They have some lovely skirts and dresses at the moment.

I was really not impressed by Pierre Hardy designing another shoe range for Gap. Overprized, boring, not another high street designer range follow-up.

But then I saw this picture of a girl wearing Pierre Hardy/Gap platform sandals at Garance Dore, and she looks so lovely and amazing that I have completely changed my mind. I love the brown tights/sandals combination!

It’s finally happened, summer is here! It’s hot and sunny and I’m slightly hysterical at the thought of bearing my legs. After what feels like years in 80 denier opaque tights combined with over the knee shift dresses, I’ve come to realize that a) my legs are no way near ready to be shown to the world and b) I haven’t got that many summer clothes.

I think it’s time to invest in some blouses and a tuxedo jacket that, thrown together over jeans or a skirt, will see me through the next few months.

I confess I went shopping again yesterday during my lunch break, a dangerous habit. Miss Selfridges had this lovely candy stripe circle skirt which I just had to take home with me.

As The Iron Chic has been blogging: it is prom season. Not that I have ever been to a prom, we don’t really do proms in Germany, but I feel this might have been quite the blessing looking back at my awkward teenage attempts at dressing for fancy events. The downright ridiculous ensemble I wore for my dancing course when I was sixteen consisting of a floor length black skirt, a white long-sleeved shirt tucked in and a velvet black vest worn on top, will haunt me forever.

Would I have a second chance, I would wear one of these:

Topshop

Debenhams

Oasis

One of my friends is getting married at the end of May. It’ll be quite a traditional affair but for my outfit I am envisioning a Balenciagaesque look of a floral dress and gladiator sandals combined with a black disk hat.
