Krush baby!

Like my last entry, I will begin my first sentence with an apology of how lame I've been with the whole "update my blog loads" thing. Although, I don't feel quite as guilty, as my blogging efforts haven't completely went down hill but rather they've stretched their little wings. That's right, I now have a cheeky wee blogging job for an up-and-coming high street clothing company called Krush.


Go. Me. 


But enough self-congratulation, let's have a wee chat about Krush! The company is run by young entrepreneurs who ultimately aim to give you the hottest fashion trends at fantastic value for money  with great emphasise on customer satisfaction. The guys who run it are really cool and you can tell they have so much enthusiasm for their company and it's aims. And in order to help it grow further, they have launched their own website (today in fact-woo!), which means you can now browse and buy all the latest trends without the inconvenience of actually having to leave your bed (which is always a good shout if you ask me). 


And that's where I come in (no, not in your bed. creep), after recently meeting up with the guys, getting shown around their Motherwell store and chatting to some of the lovely staff there, I was asked if I could whip up a blog entry as soon as I could so they could see if my chat was any good. Apparently it was half decent as they then asked me to write up information and style advice on all the categories for their brand spanking new website and update the websites blog frequently. So I happily did and you can view it here by clicking on any clothing category then zooming down to the bottom of the page to read my style advice for it. You can also read the first entry of the blog here if you fancy seeing how well I can match a few of Tulisa Contostavlos looks for your summer holidays :)


But if like me, Tulisa isn't quite your number one style icon, don't be put off as there are plenty of other super chic looks at pretty amazing prices. I've picked some of my personal faves below for you to have a gander at:





1. Raina High Shine Apparel Legging (£14.99)
2. Carmela Heart Bodysuit (£12.99)
3. Sofie Galaxy Peace Print Vest (£8.99)
4. Leea Stripe Cut Out Dress (£14.99)
5. Carlen Vest Skull Cut Black (£9.99)
6. Cross Print Denim Jeans (£19.99)




1. Harmony Spike Toe Platform (£38.99)
2. Yvette Block Heel Shoe (£29.99)
4. Beccy High Top Trainer (£34.99)
5. Yoko Spike Wedge (£34.99)



1. Diamonte Peace Symbol Ring (£6.99)
2. Funky Spike Necklace (£8.99)
3. 4 Finger Skull Diamonte Ring (£6.99)
4. Small Briefcase Bag (£14.99)



Happy shopping y'all! And ehh, please read the Krush blog? :)

Lucky Edge Decks Yo!

Sooo a while back my friend Joe Edge set up his own label wittily named "Lucky Edge Decks" that makes super cool and 100% originally illustrated tees, decks, sweatshirts and hats. That same while back was when I put an order in for one of his illustrated tees that I kind of fell in love with as soon as he showed me the original sketch. Unfortunately, being a student really gets in the way of supporting new talent and my path to looking the part as a fashion wank. Which meant sadly I had to put the order on hold until I had enough money to eat AND look cool *uuuuh*. Anyway! Thankfully that day finally arrived when the pennies started rolling in in a little more abundance over the summer holidays and I am pleased to now show you *coughshowoff* my purchase. Let me guide you through my Lucky Edge Decks experience through my amazing photography:









After opening up a super cute brown paper parcel with my name and address handwritten on the front, I came face-to-face with another super cute brown paper parcel wrapped in string (I LOVED the string, so old school) with the name and style of my tee handwritten on a sticker on the top left and a Lucky Edge Decks flyer slotted underneath the beloved string.
















Here's a picture of it again but from a different angle. Just cause it's so pretty. And it's my blog. Therefore I can.



















And here it is! My "Don't Rock My Boat" tee. I. Fucking. Love. It. 














Also worth a wee showy-showy is the new Lucky Edge Decks label: really cute dog illustration + product that is designed AND printed in the UK (something which is impressive in itself) = WINNER.
