The Carrie Diaries Style

However much I would love to talk about the actual context of the show 'The Carrie Diaries' and about all the different secrets and scandals going on I thought I would do a post on the fashion. It is set in 1984 so it has a tremendous amount of fashion from that era. I love the girly style that Carrie has, she wears many different colours and prints together. As shown in the bottom left corner were she matches polka dot black tights (which has definitely inspired me to try different patterned tights - I love wearing them as it makes an outfit more exciting) with a skater skirt with smaller dots on with a bright pink cardi, it just works. The 'Carrie' bag that was featured is just pure genius, it sums up the bright colours of the eighties in one bag! Personally I have taken inspiration from Carrie's sister, Dorrit. She wears mostly dark colours ranging from black to camouflage grey (not really a range!) but matches amazing band T-shirt's with dark leggings and a lot of black eyeliner! A lot of the clothes that the two actress' wear is from shops like H&M and Topshop! Personally I love the different style the two sister's have and the fact that they are styled with high-street clothes!

Cities in the Country



 Wearing: Top - Zara. Leggings - Urban Outfitters. Socks and Hat - Topshop. Boots - New Look.
I woke up this morning to the sun bursting through my deep red curtains. It was lovely, my morning consisted of reading in bed under a mass of blankets for an hour and then slowly getting up and then taking these photo's in the sunlight. It was a beautiful morning to take these photos as the sun was beaming and we decided to venture down the village a bit more to see where we could take the photos. I ended up sitting on a tree trunk and on a stile with fields and sheep roaming behind me.  I got this beanie and top on Sunday during a wonderful stay in Brighton with my sister and cousin. I've seen beanies around a lot recently and wondered if I could pull one off, I'm still not too sure but you never know unless you try, right? I also realised that I'm wearing two different cities in America; LA and New York which both, I desperately want to go to! I love half term purely because it gives me a chance to get up-to-date on posts and check up on everything!

Tough Love






 Wearing: Jumper - Republic. Shorts - New Look. Shoes - Schuh.
It's weird, in some ways I cannot wait to grow up and be an adult, to be out of school and chasing my dreams etc etc...But today we threw away a lot of my 'childhood' stuff. Literally I felt like a part of me was being thrown out and my heart being torn apart. Okay, yeah that's a bit dramatic but it was heartbreaking stuff! I put my hair in two French plaits last night and loved the outcome this morning, with the dark shorts and double studs (on the shoes and jumper) I felt a bit like 'Dorrit' - Carries younger sister from The Carrie Diaries. I love dark grungy clothes but feel that because I have blonde hair I can get away with a mass of black greys and charcoal. At least I don't go overboard on Black eyeliner. Yet.

February Blogger Interview - Isabella from Views of Now


So, after reading lots of different blogs and interacting with other bloggers I thought it would be a lovely idea to have a 'Blogger of the Month Interview' So for February I have got asked some questions to one of my favourite bloggers Isabella, From Views of Now.  Instead of me rattling on about her blog, go and check it out!





All Images from Views of Now

When did Fashion become a big thing in your life?
Fashion has always been something that I've enjoyed, but it's only recently that it's become such a big thing in my life. I'd say about a year into my blog I realised that I wanted a career in fashion, that this - blogging - was what I wanted to do.

I found your blog through your Teen Vogue Blogger feature online, How did that come about?
I joined the Fashion Click bloggers a few months ago, and shortly after I begun posting on that I was contacted by the people at Teen Vogue. I'd have to say it's one of my proudest and most exciting moments to date- Teen Vogue is basically what started my blog and love affair with all things wearable.

Who inspires your style? Would you say you get inspired by celebrities or bloggers more?
I would have to say I'm mainly inspired by bloggers, probably because I read them so often. As far as celebrities go, I adore Alexa Chung, the Fanning sisters, Olivia Palermo and Emma Watson, to name a few. 

What are the top five blogs  that you read?
Such a tricky one! If I had to narrow it down...
Garry Pepper Vintage- her photos are like a fairytale. 
Avenue M- Maria has fantastic style, and it also helps that she's one of my best friends.
Flashes of Style- I love reading about her New York adventures, and admiring her gorgeous vintage style. 
Tuula Vintage- Gorgeous scenery.
WishWishWish- all around amazing blog!

In Australia it's summer at the moment, what different trends have you seen?
Some of my favourite Summer trends at the moment have to be overalls, jelly shoes, tropical prints and neon colours. It feels like I'm a little girl again!

What magazines are your favourite?
I read a ridiculous amount of magazines and, as you can probably guess, my favourite is Teen Vogue. But I also love Frankie, Shop Til You Drop, Harper's Bazaar and Australian Vogue.

Your outfit posts are spectacular, Who takes them?
Thank you! Generally my lovely Mum takes my photos, sometimes a friend and on very rare occasions my little sis.

What advice would you give to people in taking outfit photos?
Get out of your comfort zone! I stood in the same place in my backyard for so long, and it's so much more interesting when your locations are different and new. Also, be confident- don't get embarrassed if someone walks past. I know I still do, and it's a bad habit. Pretend they're not even there and do your thing.
 
Who are you favourite music artists at the moment?
It switches up all the time, but at the moment I'm loving Cub Scouts, San Cisco, The Weeknd, alt-J, SBTRKT and Two Door Cinema Club, to name a few!
 
Do you prefer Online shopping or actual shopping?
I love online shopping because everything is at your fingertips, you can do it in the comfort of your own home (and bed) and the prices can be amazing. Only problem is the wait!

So, I'd just like to say Thank You to Isabella for doing this interview and if anyone has any other ideas who to interview make sure you comment below!

Company - March Issue



I had a couple of outfits planned today to schedule some posts but, the weather once again stopped me! So I decided I would do a post on the lovely March issue of Company Magazine. When this came through my door I was pleasantly surprised as I only ordered my subscription a couple of weeks ago and they told me it would come between 6 and 9 weeks! It has such a bright front to the magazine, it then shows lots of new trends coming up in spring/summer which is getting me so excited for the new season. Especially as it was snowing here, and not even settling. My two favourite parts of this issue were the photoshoots. The 'Spring it On' photoshoot was a lovely way to go through the various trends this spring, they got me excited to try the 'varsity' 'stripes' and 'sixties' trends. Then the other photoshoot 'Get your Geek On' which showed the Varsity trend, its all just so prim and perfect!
The other thing that excited me about this issue is that my tweet was featured on the '#Readitandtweet' page! I wrote '@cstoreyy Reached by Ally Condie is the final book about the future. So captivating and Interesting!' I honestly would urge you to go and read this series about the struggle for freedom and love, the first one's called Matched.

Updated Instagram...


Instagram - www.instagram.com/christinastorey
So I thought, as I've been fairly lazy this weekend and not shot any outfit posts, I would do an 'Instagram Update' with you. I am literally obsessed with Instagram that its probably unhealthy! Recently I keep on getting distracted by scrolling through the 'Quotes' section on Pinterest and just feel so inspired, so I occasionally post these on my feed. I love this 'Beautiful Simple Things' as every thing on this list is definitely beautiful! My new phone case feels quite retro, not sure if that's the right word to use but anyhow I absolutely adore it. When finally this Teen Vogue came through my door I was delighted! I really think its one of the best issues in a while, it just has some great articles and photography in. I also really love the cover girl AnnaSophia Robb who is starring in the new show 'The Carrie Diaries' which has premiered in the states. I think she is just a really cool calm and collected girl who is going to be really big. Last night I celebrated my birthday with my friends from dancing and decided to wear this big black bow from Claires (Yes, Claires! I got a gift card for my birthday, It was very nostalgic) in my hair with it curled. I felt rather like Ariana Grande, I loved it! I definitely think I'm going to wear it more often.
P.S Do you like this dress I just ordered from Misguided? I can't wait to style it!
