"We don't need fashion to survive, we just desire it so much" - Marc Jacobs

Couldn't have really said it better myself. So, today I'm going to try to be a little fashion fairy godmother and pass on a few little essentials of mine. I recently got an iPhone and was excitedly amazed by the amount of fashion apps there were (huge smiley face). I thought I couldn't keep these little gold mines uncovered, it'd be a bit selfish really! 

THE ESSENTIAL 

Vogue Daily News




To keep on top with all the fash biz, you have everything in one app. Truly fabby! This app has two sections (Daily News and People & Parties) so you can get your update nice and speedy. Don't think I could live without this app.

THE SHOP-TILL-YA-DROPS

Asos and Topshop



I think you understand that I can choose between the two. That would just be cruel. Both are filled with amazing clothes and accessories and amazing stuff. For me, they're the King and Queen of High Street (don't know who's who). Both have either a notebook or wish list so you can save your stuff and buy later, or just admire.

THE GAME 

Covet Fashion




I'm addicted. Really, I can't get of this thing. Who knew styling an outfit for a 'Film Opening' or 'Shopping on Rodeo Drive' was soooo much fun? I certainly do now. It's a great lil game that once you try you need.

THE QUOTE MASTER 

Fashion Pocket Quotes




This app is very handy, I've gotta say. In fact, every morning at 08:00 exactly, they send me a fashion quote. Cuties. They have some great quotes from Yves Saint Laurent, Anna Wintour, Michelle Obama and of course more. This provides my nice little daily slab of inspiration in a fashiony way.

THE FABBY FRENCHIE

Gaultier: His Fashion World




This one is full of fabby French info, hence the title. Jean's app really is the creme de la creme. With pics, info, vids, quotes and references, it's your guide to French fashion heaven. Which I'd imagine is somewhere I want to visit.

Hopefully this is useful, if not, it was fun writing it! Go download these from the App Store!

June...



Good morning sun! Bonjour maxi dresses, hola sandals! YES! The 'S' word has arrived...SUMMER! The puffa jacket and beanie hat have been put to the back of Narnia...IE my wardrobe...and I'm so hyped! Everywhere has their new stock coming in. Everything is new, fresh and exciting!!!

Fashion Events In June

This month seems to be full of men's mishaps so if your into that kind of thing then visit the British Fashion Council Event List on their website!

My Top 5 June Must-Haves


Cream Blouse.

My favourite was River Island's Chelsea Girl Cream Lace Yolk Blouse. The embellishment on its sleeves are so beautiful, especially the lace cuff. Check it out!

Something Electric Blue!

Zara has a simply beautiful blazer. View below!

Lace Embellishments.

This dress from Snow Traffic is not one I would usually choose thinking of my quick trim and classic taste...yet, I LOVE IT! I picked mine up from a stall at Spitalfields but I'm sure you can find it else where.

A Hint Of Iridescence.

Recently I found the most amazing store called Monki! My friend had told me about it and I was intrigued at all their amazing stuff! They have a shop on Carnaby Street which I'll be snooping about in at my first chance! For iridescence, I found an amazing pair of Monki Sandals, so here they are!
Monki's Iridescent Ulrike Sandal.


                                          
Big Necklaces.
If your going to wear something quite simple and understated then why not pair it with a big necklace! This season the necklaces are BIG! With every pattern and colour you can ever imagine! For my favourite, I have Topshop's Premium Rhinestone Body Cover.
