There are currently over 1.5 MILLION web pages that feature or reference a deer brooch. This is way too many!
Don't get me wrong, I love a deer brooch as much as the next person, but I just think it's all getting a bit too repetitive. I mean, how many time have you seen someone with a deer pinned to their chest, an owl on their finger or a bluebird hanging round their neck? The answer is too many, right? And what ever happened to being original?
OK, so there's not much point in me saying all this and not doing anything about it, so here's some lovely alternatives to that owl, deer or swallow brooch you're used to seeing.

Alternative Brooches.

simply inspirational




Above are 4 beautiful girls, that all really inspire me but in a few different way. Whether it's for singing, acting or just being generally amazing, these girls deserve some recognition. You've most probably heard of all of them but may have just overlooked them as average girls. I can tell you they are not just average.


Marina Diamondis -
Marina Diamondis, better known as her stage name, Marina And The Diamonds, is a 24 year old singer-songwriter from Wales. With her first album coming out February of this year, Marina is already a very well known name. So, why does she inspire me? Well, aswell as having amazing songs, she's got a very nice selection of clothes and is actually a really nice person. Watching her on a few different programs, she's actually so down to earth and seems like a really 'normal' star, unlike a few stuck up ones I can think of.



Alexa Chung-
I want to be Alexa Chung. The first reason being her AMAZING dress sense, the way she can be so casual but still look chic, and that her hair can be shoved up or messily down but she still looks beautiful. Another reason why I'm jealous of her is the things she gets to do, front row on catwalks, invited to every event and having her own TV show with Henry Holland (who I also love!). I envy Alexa so much!


Kate Nash-
For those of you who know me or have my facebook, you'll know i'm literally obsessed with Kate Nash. I love the way as soon as you play a Kate Nash song you'll know it's her singing, because of the style of the song and her strong accent. I also think her lyrics are amazing, they're so much better than the usual lyrics of today's music, such as songs rapping about women 'getting low' etc. She sings about what she feels and usually has a really strong opinion to most subjects, which i love. Aswell as this, i want her hair colour!


 Zooey Deschanel-
 Zooey Deschanel is, as you can probably tell by these pictures, beautiful! She is also extremely talented, amazing at acting, such as in the film 500 days of Summer (coincidently one of my favourite films) and she's a brilliant singer, being in the band She & Him (coincidently one of my favourite bands!). I literally couldn't think of one thing about Zooey that's bad. Honestly, I think I'm in love.

"What Is Fashion?"

Ok, so today I got asked the question 'What is fashion?', it took me a while to think about it and come to a real answer that I believed in, but basically this is what fashion is to me.

"Fashion is not just what you wear. It's what makes you, you, and separate to anyone else. If it wasn't for fashion, life would be dull, we couldn't simply 'make' friends or ever be intrigued by a certain person as there'd be nothing to draw you to a him/her.
A person couldn't say they weren'...t interested in fashion as what they do wear is their own representation of it. And although we 'shouldn't' judge a book by it's cover, people always will do that. Fashion is just a way to make that first judgement a positive one."

It didn't take long, so sorry if it's rubbish, but tell me what you think?

And tell me, what is fashion to you?

Pearl & Daisy. Daisy & Pearl.

So, by now you've probably heard about Pearl Lowe's new range of clothes for Peacocks. If not, i'm about to tell you about it anyway! If you don't know who Pearl Lowe is, she's Daisy Lowe's 40 year old, very fashionable, mother. If you don't know who Daisy is, well, you must live under a rock of some sort.
Modeled by Daisy below, the peacocks collection is inspired by riverside summer picnics, croquet on the lawn and long fun-filled summer days. Pearl says, "Everyone knows my love of vintage and I haven’t let down my fellow lovers of dresses inspired by days gone by with some fabulous summer tea dresses.” The tea dresses are my favourite part of the collection epsecially when paired with the long woolen socks, I can see this being a great part of my summer wardrobe this year.
Another thing I love about the collection is the prices. With prices starting from £10 for a top, and the dresses just £30-£40, you can't really go wrong!
So, take a look at the new collection, (out today), here. And if you're going to buy something, make sure you do it soon as I can see this being a very popular collection!
