Yesterday I posted my best bits from the world of music in 2014 and today I bring you the best of fashion and food from the year.
First up, fashion. Fashion is something, you probably have gathered by now, that I love. The fashion shows, the magazines shoots, the high street full of potential and styling up my own outfits, I love it all and I’ve always loved playing around with my outfits from a young age creating an outfit that little bit different. Here I’m going to round up my favourite buys, my favourite outfits and some brand love for 2014.
Favourite Clothing Purchases: White Lace Dress from eBay, Tropical Print Playsuit from New Look, Navy Studded Dress from New Look, White Shirt from Urban Outfitters, Mustard Jumper from H&M, Tiger Face Leggings from Drop Dead Clothing, Monochrome Dogtooth Jacket from New Look.
