Country Girl

   After being introduced to Butch Walker & the Black Widows i caught country fever. I was particularly taken by one of the guitarists style (forgive me for not knowing his name, oh how i want to know his name! haha) He had a gorgeous mint green guitar, a trashy-chic shirt - with some funky print (i forget the details) hanging, undone, over a t-shirt & braces, with classic jeans. Fit. So fit, i want to re-create this look for myself.
With this in mind i came across these beauties in Birmingham's COW vintage store (£8):

Then i got to thinking about the whole country look, & straight away i remembered how i LOVED the girls outfits in Primal Screams music video for 'Country Girl'. Here's some screen shots of her trashy glamour: 
 

 

Especially love the belly dancer-esque sequined bra & traditional cowgirl jacket.

This Burlesque dancer caught my eye as she glows with class, style & grace. Perfect example of a lady.

The Parlor Boutique

It was a couple of weeks ago now, when i photographed for style in the city: Birmingham, that i came across a display of 'The Parlor Boutique' jewellery in the Mailbox. I literally stood gawping at all the luscious pieces thinking 'oh god, when will i afford pretty things?' to then have it pointed out to me by a friend that they (unlike the other jewellery stands surrounding) were 'topshop prices', but better quality, alot more beautiful and unique!  So i was sure to pick up a business card and check out their website. Below ive posted a selection of things on my wish list, and the website address so you can mooch and create your own =)
