I recently purchased this awesome leopard print body from TopShop, and I've got one or two things to wear with it, but I'm looking for other items to buy that can go with it. I made up two outfits (one using items from TopShop, and the other using items from Miss Selfridge) and I think now I need to start saving up so I can buy everything!!



TopShop outfit: Skirt £38, Shoes £75, Bag £85.



Miss Selfridge outfit: Leggings £35, Shoes £25, Belt £18, Bag £25, Earrings £6.

I recently re-watched The Grifters, a film about con-artists starring John Cusack, Anjelica Huston and Annette Bening. I haven't read the book, but I have read another book by Jim Thompson called The Killer Inside Me which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I will probably get the book and read that too. My favourite character is Myra (played by Annette Bening) because she has the coolest outfits throughout the movie.









My favourite item has to be the leopard print biker jacket! Apologies for the poor quality photographs, I had to take them on my phone from the screen. Why is it that you can't take screen-shots whilst the DVD player is open on Mac computers?!! Rubbish! Anyways, here's the trailer:

I don't usually wear a lot of jewellery, but that's mostly because I hardly have any, as I tend to always focus my buying towards items of clothing! However, I have had my eye on a few pieces that I really want. The first two are from Lady Luck Rules Ok, which I have loved for years; their stuff is just so cute! The russian doll necklace is personalised with your own name on it too!

The 'Yeah!' necklace is from a shop called Me & Zena that I just recently saw in a magazine, I really love it but I resent paying £22 for something that was probably about £2 to manufacture - if that! The same goes for the Tatty Devine necklace too. £40?!?!?!!!!!!! Come on!! But still, they are both really nice and if I had that much money to waste I would totally buy them.... or I could just get somebody to buy them for me? :-D
