So it begins...

...as an English graduate with no discernible experience/evidence of interest in fashion a blog seemed like a good way to have something to talk about in interviews. And I still don't understand Twitter. I'm currently a brand intern at a PR company in London, hoping to eventually become an account executive of some sort. This blog will mainly consist of photographs I find beautiful/inspiring, style icons, cloves wot I want, and maybe even some of my own pictures.

Cheepfrills was an idea me and a couple of school friends had on livejournal when we were about 14, where we would list all the cheepfrills ('cheapthrills' was already taken) that made life worth living; i.e. the cold side of the pillow, finding money in an old purse, your alarm going off only to realise it's a Saturday.. etc, etc. So I decided to revive it, and since I love thrifting/charity shopping - literally cheap frills- it seemed appropriate.

So where to start? Well, having spent the past two weeks stuck working in an airless basement unable to enjoy London sunshine, summer and holidaying has been largely on my mind. Well-travelled I am not, but summertime London has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. SO- on that note- summertime wardrobe pieces I am currently coveting:

MAXI SKIRT:

This is one trend I have been staunchly against for years, always associating it with Coleen Rooney in a hot pink strappy number teamed with some sort of cropped denim jacket. However, a plain black jersey maxi skirt, teamed with a well worn pair of Vans originals/Converse/Creepers/wedge boots, a leather jacket, cropped tee and a messy bun= perfection. Credit where credit's due...no one rocks a maxi quite like the Olsens.
Colour is also good:

GLADIATOR/CLOG SANDALS:

Carvela, Carvela, Carvela. So many to choose from, all equally desirable and dangerous for my depleted wallet. Particularly love these 'Kabin' numbers, £85. And think they may even go with aforementioned skirt..so an investment really.

WEDGE BOOTS:

Ok, not particularly summery, but I've been trying to find the perfect wedge boots for some time. Quite like these from KG, although theres something about the wedge I find slightly..orthopedic? That and the £190 price tag is enough to make me continue to look elsewhere.. still, worth a mention.

This is proving time consuming so instead I'll just make a collage:

I realise the random girl in the corner sort of ruins it but she has my dream hair. I love the two tone dark roots/blonde tips look that's proving popular at the moment. And I wouldn't mind her face either to be honest.

That's all folks
