Style Diary: Ripped Off

For some reason I'm into the Sleeveless. 

Some could say it's because it's Summer. 

Some could say it is cheaper without the sleeves or that I'm into arms? (which is a negative)

There is something about sleeveless looks which just appeal to me at current. 

I thought I'd let this look be a bit ragged and ripped off (don't mind the pun) with my DIY Ripped Jeans.

I honestly don't see why someone would want to pay for anything ripped? .... I'd rather do it myself. 

A pair of scissors, rolling around on the floor and a good machine wash and Waa lah! 

For something fancy I'm wearing my Make Believe flower necklace, which contrasts the edge for something pretty and fragile.

Uber deep I am.

This runway show featured looks from Ristefsky Macheda, Thom Finch, Leopold, Autonomy, Jack London, Alexi Freeman, White Suede and Bettina Liano. Models had their hair slicked back into high pony tails with neon pink extensions, whilst featuring a silver eye makeup treatment.

The show had your classic menswear looks as well as some more experimental designs including a feathered and a sequined blazer from Jack London. The womenswear was strong and chic with popular colours being red, orange and a strong focus on white,

My favourite looks came from White Suede, Autonomy and Alexi Freeman. I also had a soft spot for the Alexandra Blak's accessories.
