Get Jacked

Ah to be British. As most of you know the Diamond Jubilee is round the corner, after all how can you avoid it!? There's Bunting on every street corner...

Now anyone who knows me, knows I'm big on the Union Jack (seriously, I'll be having a house one day filled with Union Jack wallpaper..). So I'm finding it pretty exciting to see a lot of Patriotism filling our high street stores! This of course isn't just the bunting, car flags, mugs etc...I'm talking about the little things that have caught my attention! 

Not big on flaunting it in an over the top manner? No problem. Girls its all about keeping minimal; while Union Jack inspired earrings, hair extensions and sunglasses might seem like a good idea now think about how it'll just gather dust until the next Jubilee! I'm talking about investing in something you can use after the Jubilee hype. The Lulu Guiness Union Jack Lips clutch is my personal favorite! While it screams patriotism now, after it'll say 'look at me, I'm not just another clutch'. It's edgy but sophisticated approach to style has gotten a thumbs up from me as something you'd want to be seen with. 

 Next, is my take on attempting to get you guys into the Jubilee spirit. While I doubt the majority of you will be wearing Union Jack earrings and leggings, I can assume however most of you wouldn't mind wearing a simple t-shirt?  Below is a London printed t-shirt from Topman. Simple, durable and down to a T this top is perfect for showing your love for Britain without flaunting it to an extent....that is unless most of you guys out there intend on wearing Union Jack dresses to the local pub? By all means you have my blessing!. 

With the summer festivals soon to be knocking on our doors, I personally have yet to find myself a new pair of wellies! So seeing these on the Hunter website has given me an idea; why not channel my British love into something practical? After all, the recent summer heatwave came to an abrupt ending the other night when it started to pour it down..(note to self; running around in denim short shorts and sandels is not a good idea). So I've decided to consider investing in decent wellies in order to avoid the same mistake come my weekend festival, next weekend. These Hunter Wellies are perfect, the must-have footwear for summer festivals around the world, and with the rush of patriotism in our blood it seems perfect!.

Then again, I've always wanted something Union Jack related...at least now I have an excuse to run up and down my street looking like Geri Halliwell did in THAT dress.

Now where did I put those Union Jack knickers..

Confessions Of A Fashion Junkie

http://www-fashionjunkiemem.tumblr.com/

I have a confession to make. Its not pretty, in fact....I'm rather ashamed. 

I've been unfaithful lately, its not something I could control. I've been under a lot of stress and needed a quick fix, but I never stopped caring I just needed to get away from it all. 

If I'm being honest, I actually enjoyed the thrill of it for a while, but the reality of it all started to set in and I realised this was wrong, so I'm confessing to it all now. 

I've been having an affair...with Tumblr. 

It started over Easter, I decided to join and started a few posts but the reality of exams started to settle in and since then I decided to cut myself off the blogging and tumblr radar for a bit. Lately however? Well I decided to play with fire and go back to Tumblr. Once exams where over I had some more free time and decided to go back onto Tumblr and check it out. I was hooked. I started to find inspiration and idea's from these images. They provided me with idea's when it came to shopping, what could be worn and done and whats achievable. 

Naturally, as I got more into it I noticed I had neglected my beloved Blogspot, after all we've been through it all since October. So I realised its time I confessed to my sinful behavior and come clean. Which is why I'm advertising my latest Tumblr account to those of you who know whats its like to get hooked on something so  addictive (and healthy of course). Its the next big thing with bloggers, there are no words needed just images for most. The best thing I feel about Tumblr is the collections you can start and the way its provides you with  something to gain idea's from, if like me, you want something to go for i.e. a summer festival or holiday!.

Its also a way of you being able to express yourself, you're interests and talents. Now I'm not exactly 'talented' shall we say; but I do feel I can be creative and imaginative more so Tumblr is a great way of me being able to express myself through colours and images. As well a this, those who know me can see what I like, and where I can get my inspiration from. 

Fear not however, I am coming back to blogging...I miss typing!. I will from time to time share images from my Tumblr account on here as a source of information and where I get my looks from. So I suppose that's the best of both worlds eh? Speaking of which...I've got a lot installed for you guys when its comes to my blogs this summer, with a festival and two summer holidays ahead plus my recent (and ridiculous) shopping spree...you wont be bored.

For now however feel free to check out my Tumblr account http://www-fashionjunkiemem.tumblr.com/ i'll try and keep it updated for you! 

After all, its healthy to experiment right?
