CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC, THE REMAKE

I confess I'm not the brightest cookie in the jar when it comes to shopping for events, parties or just general daywear. I'm terrible at actually sticking to my goal on searching for the perfect outfit, and surprisingly when I find a cute top or a striking pair of low price yet ‘trendy’ pair of shoes I seem to forget whether it actually goes with anything in my wardrobe and by the time I arrive home realizing my poor mistake, I've already gone and blown 50 quid on a pair of ankle strap heels...but I know I'm not the only one who is caught up in the need to buy everything they see. 

But I promise I've gotten out of that habit, and after my monthly routine shop I do come home with a feel good, look good 'coordinating' outfit. Nevertheless, that's probably a really fun side effect of being lured into the shopping experience. I’d be lying if I said weren’t the type of person who looks at their wardrobe and realises they have nothing to wear. I’m always on the verge of a melt down when it comes to outfit planning but there's something pretty entertaining about ransacking my cupboard for a pair of top notch jeans and a sophisticated blouse to go with those heels I recently purchased and if not, what are our mothers wardrobes for. To me that’s the whole point of clothing and ''fashion''. Yes, they're there to keep us moderately covered (would be a rather odd world if we didn't wear clothes) but they're there to be experimented with, and to create new, unique styles. It's like a mini, colorful quest. 

I'm definitely one of those girls who are influenced by what actresses and models wear. Recently I've been particularly charmed by Vanessa Hudgens quirky, funky yet elegant style. Her maxi like, daring V cut dress looks absolutely f-a-bulous on her. It’s simple yet tasteful.

It's safe to say that when I'm out and about in town, I'm not only inspired by my own fashion sense but also inspired by the young and iconic actresses of today. (It just would be lovely if I could afford their sense of style).

I suppose it's also time to confess my growing obsession with shoes, shoes and shoes!!! My shoe collection seems to be slowly growing and it's definitely time to pop too Ikea to buy a bigger shoe rack. Shoes are probably the most important fashion item, yes I know they're important because they make walking more comfortable. BUT, they tie the whole outfit together. Heels, flats, wedges and boots are probably what most people look at (second) when they're secretly rating your outfit. If your shoes match with your outfit, you know you're doing something right.

It seems that Isla Fisher's portrayal of a crazy fashionista is pretty accurate and reflects what almost every girl/woman/lady is like when it comes to the world of fashion. We all have our little obsessions (one of mine being Benedict Cumberbatch) and well the other being fashion. I don't go to regular fashion shows or shop at the most expensive shops (because odds are you’ll find what you’re looking for at your local primarche) but I will always have a little flare and passion you could say, to popping down to the high street and picking out the perrrrrfect outfit(s) that scream ‘you’.
