OOTD : Goldfrapp Inspired

I've never been a huge fan of Goldfrapp musically but in terms of thinking outside the box fashion then you'd be hard pressed to beat Alison Goldfrapp. She's a strange, beautiful little pixie and I adore her bravery when it comes to some of her outfits. She really doesn't give a crap what anyone thinks and wears her various ensembles with such confidence that it almost becomes normal.

Have I mentioned that I'm a massive fan of clothing so hideous that most people would sooner burn it than wear it? Well, I am. When I spotted this dress on eBay I had to have it. It looks as if Laura Ashley started making clothes for circuses. In the 80's. On crack.

It's a vintage Eleanor Hadley dress with gold clouds and enormous ruffles. Disgusting isn't it? But in an amazing Goldfrapp kinda way. I wore it with New Look platforms and a gold New Look knuckleduster cross ring. 

Who are your fashion icons? What's the weirdest thing you've ever dared to wear? :)

OOTD : Going For Gold

Summer! We finally have Summer! It's been a mixed bag today, on the one hand who doesn't love looking out of the window and seeing their sunlit surroundings? On the other, by 'eck it's been hot!

I decided to put together an outfit around my Knuckleduster Wings Ring today. You can find them here. It took me years to come around to gold coloured jewellery, I was always a silver kinda girl, but these days I am all about GOLD! I think it makes more of a statement and although it's not as versatile as silver, can look great if you colour co-ordinate.

I comprised this look from some new items I've just bought. The leopard print body was £4 in the New Look sale and the black maxi skirt was £14.99, also from New Look. The tan gladiator sandals are a trusty pair that I've had for a couple years now, would you believe it, also from New Look. Although I wouldn't necessarily wear them out of the house, I just couldn't resist popping on my lace cat ears too!
