The Check Addiction

Oh dear... It seems that I have got a little carried away with the tartan and check trend that has popped up all over the high street recently. It started with my tartan dress (see: The Tartan Fetish), it continued with my check scarf (see: The Transitionals) and now my wardrobe is becoming overrun with checks galore!

Black Oversized Jumper - H&M, £14.99
Red Tartan High Waisted Shorts - River Island, £16.00
Black Leggings - Topshop, Old
Black Chelsea Boots - Topshop, Old

I just love these shorts from River Island and they were such a bargain! They look great with leggings for a casual look but I am also going to dress them up with heels and a sheer black shirt.

Short Sleeve Check Shirt - Topshop, £28.00
Black Tube Skirt - Primark, Old
Black Leggings - Topshop, Old
Black Chelsea Boots - Topshop, Old

How cute is this little checked shirt? So easy to chuck on with a skirt or black skinny jeans and a great way for me to get some different colours into my wardrobe.

Black Boob Tube - H&M, Old
Tartan Tube Skirt - Topshop, £25
Black Skinny Belt - Primark, £2 for pack of 2
Black Chelsea Boots - Topshop, Old

I think that this skirt has to be one of my favourite items in my wardrobe at the moment. If you're a regular here, you'll know that I love a tube skirt! I've also worn this one with a baggy black t-shirt for a more casual look.

Must stop buying tartan and checks now... what will my next fashion addiction be I wonder? Watch this space!

The Studded Accessories

So ever since I bought my studded handbag a few months ago (see: The Rock 'n' Roll Accessories) I have always been on the lookout for more studded beauties and my dreams came true when I discovered Zoe Victoria's little shop on twitter. She has some lovely bits and bobs and at such reasonable prices! Here are my faves:

Heart Studded Bag

The heart shapes make these studs a little less 'punk' which I think is a great twist on the embellishment. You can't go wrong with a little black bag! It's great for nights out and those days where you only need your purse and phone.

Studded iPhone Case

Not only is this case stylish, it's also very practical - I'm very clumsy and always dropping my iPhone! I love the lilac colour as well. 

Studded Socks

Aren't these just adorable!? They are the perfect alternative to those cute frilly socks that I have never been able to pull off! I'm going to wear mine peeking over the top of my converse.
