Style Confidential: The Fashion Tag!


I wasn't tagged to do this but thought it looked interesting!

How would you describe your style?
Classic, tailored and semi-formal, but also quirky and colourful!

What are your wardrobe essentials?
Leather biker jacket, riding boots, either a chunky knit scarf or pashmina, oversized sunglasses....and skinny jeans

Most expensive item in your closet?
Kurt Geiger Carvela black Nordic wedge boots (£90).

Most wanted item?
A Mulberry bayswater handbag - £595!!

Favourite designer?
Since his death I became particularly interested in what he had designed. Being part Scottish I love the way he encorporated his heritage into his work by using tartan and tweed. I also love Vivienne Westwood's quirky, original designs.

Never more than £50 a month probably. I buy sporadically!

H&M and Topshop, and also Next recently........

Dior J'adore Dior.

What's your favourite way to do your hair?
My hair's getting pretty long so I like to have it down but clips the sides off my face.

What is the most prized possession in your wardrobe?
Actually an accessory - my Vivienne Westwood silver drop-pearl pendant necklace.

What's your go-to outfit for when you don't know what to wear?
Skinny jeans, tank top, waterfall cardigan and scarf :)

Who are your style icons?
Classy and feminine looks from Eva Longoria, Hilary Duff, and the old Olsen twins style.

Who I'm idolizing..... Alexander McQueen RIP

Lee Alexander McQueenCBE (17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010) was a British fashion designer and couturier best known for his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, his tendency to juxtapose female strength and sensuality with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows. He is also known for having worked as chief designer at the French Haute Couture House Givenchy and for founding his own label under the name Alexander McQueen. His achievements in fashion earned him four British Designer of the Year awards (1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003), as well as the CFDA's International Designer of the Year award in 2003.
