Apologies!

First off, let me apologize and say that my first pictures are not spectacular- I am going to Beijing tomorrow and have packed my camera and everything, so I had to use my-gasp!- phone to take these. But anyways, here's my first attempt(please excuse my embarrassed yet somehow cheeky facial expression):


vest- wallis, shirt- ms selfridge's/sister's closet, bag- chanel, shorts- primark, tights- no idea, shoes- topshop

Anyway, I know that this outfit looks quite dull, but it was just a simple, Sunday family outfit. Plus, this was the first outing with my wonderful new Chanel purse, so I wanted it to be sort of the focal piece. The amazing thing about this seemingly mundane shorts-and-tights combo is the stirrups which are, in my opinion, quite magical:

The texture is just great- thick and thin knit lines of black on a sort-of royal blue fabric, and although the pictures don't show it, the colour is really amazing.

Well, that was it, first REAL post over...I know I have not really shown much ingenuity, but as I mentioned before, I'm going to Beijing tomorrow, and all my lovely new and old things have gone in my suitcase! Hopefully, if I'm not too busy with MUN, I'll manage to take loads of pictures of me, my friends and stylish people in Beijing and post them when I get back. I hear that the temperature sometimes goes below zero, and although I have experienced some chill while visiting my sisters in London, it might probably be too much for a tropical girl to take. Wish me luck loves, and see you all soon!

Love,
