How would you describe your style?
I'd say I try to stay on trend but add an alternative twist by adding a band tee or a leather jacket to any outfit. I love patterns and fabrics, my favourites at the moment being tartan and leather. I also love layering items and pairing fitted with oversized to add a feminine twist to a oversized cut.
What's your favourite piece in your wardrobe?
Probably, my leather jacket. I bought it years ago from Miss Sefridge but didn't really like the way it fitted. So instead of spending £50 or more on the perfect jacket I customised it myself. Adding studs, zips and removing the elasticated bottom created my perfect jacket!
Who are your style icons?
Celebrity inspired I love Jamela Jamil, Fearne Cotton and Miley Cyrus. They all keep on trend but make it look so effortless and not overdone, which I love. But more than anything i love streetstyle and think the everyday girls in England have great style. That's why i love blogging, it's the most inspiring place.
Do you have any favourite designers?
I love the work of marchesa and Elie Saab, their work is just sensational to look at. But obviously that's way out of my price range. I also adore Burberry, a trench coat will one day be in my closet, i promise!
Where are your favourite places to shop for new clothes clothes?
I love bargain hunting, so i'm a big ebay addict. I never look at an item how it's sold, i always consider how i can alter it or style it. I do love H&M for cheap knitwear, Missguided is great for dresses, and obviously Topshop and Primark.
Do you make or customise your outfits?
Yes, I love making new things, it just feels so much nicer knowing it's unique and you spent time making it how you love. I'm no fashion designer so I tend to stick to customising things such as adding embellishment or my new favourite thing is to stud everything.
Do you have any great tips for mixing up and personalising an outfit?
The best thing i've learnt is to dress how you want to. For years i'd spend money on lovely items but never had the confidence to wear them if noone else was. But now i don't care, and i love it! There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from others, it's not copying if their look made a light bulb go off in your head. At the moment a great way to add to an outfit is to add a cute collar, some studs to the shoulders or add some cute socks.
Yum these sound like the perfect cookies to watch movies with!

Yum these pretzels have Rolos melted in to them. Can you think of anything tastier?
We love tea and cake, so an Earl Grey cake must be the best of both worlds, right?!

How would you describe your style?
Hm,I think my style is always a bit girly as I love dresses and skirts (I don´t own proper trousers).At the moment I love to add a bit of "gothic chic",it can change the whole look and makes it a bit more edgy.I guess,this is my style now.
What's your favourite piece in your wardrobe?
I would say that my favourite piece is definitely my little black lace dress,it is so versatile and I just love to wear it.
Who are your style icons?
Kate Moss! She has a great style and even when she wears something super simple it looks gorgeous.
Do you have any favourite designers?
Actually no, but I like Karl Lagerfeld.
Where are your favourite places to shop for new clothes clothes?
H&M (I have an addiction),Gina Tricot,New Look oh and Ebay, I found amazing pieces there.
Do you make or customise your outfits?
No,not yet. I am really bad at sewing :)
Do you have any great tips for mixing up and personalising an outfit?
I like to mix lace with everything and I have a nice collection of jewellery (it always changes a look if you want to)..Otherwise just wear what makes you feel comfortable-that´s the best personalised outfit, I guess.
These little cheese balls look so cute and would make great party nibbles.
These gorgeous little boxes are made from Fimo and look amazing!
