BUT I like to call it style scouting!!

RAMPAGE!!

 

ARE YOU FEATURED?

So I have heard of Vintage but this was pure “Va Va Vooom” Vintage!!

I had to stop this Fashionista on Oxford Street! I have a Radar for Embellishment and my Meter was doing overload!!

It was Vintage, on Vintage  with Vintage Stepping in Vintage and i just had to pap this look!!

What I especially loved about this dress and Jacket combo is that it’s my ideal day to night look!!

What is she wearing?

Well… Everything was beyond retro!! so its wise to head of to brick Lane and have a dig around all the Vintage stores!!

Want her nails?

Here’s a tip on how to get her nails!!

Barry M Nail Polish Matt White – £2.99 – Superdrug

… then when polish is dry overlay the  nails with this GEEENIUS PRODUCT!!..

I thought i was lucky when i was able to snap one outfit which i absolutely loved… but I striked it lucky when i spotted two ‘on trend’ fashionistas in.. yes… CROYDON *gassp*.

This season is all about layering up in style.. i probably could lose count in how many items these ladies are wearing.. but i HAVE TO ADMIT! i love every single item.. I spotted worker boots, chunky knits, stockings, denim, khaki and a printed scarf doubled into a stylish Amy Winehouse inspired headband!

I LOVED IT!!

GEEK to tha’ SHEEEEEK!

I spotted this lady who goes by the name of Mireille Lumumba!

The room was half pitch black.. i promise… but i could spot style in the dark deep pits of the blue lagoon… LOL!

This girl stood out for me! every piece she wore made a Pure statement. Her outfit SCREAMED vintage and her suede wedges were bang on trend..  I couldn’t help but compliment her hair which reminded me soooo much of one of the biggest fashionistas ‘Arieta Mujay’… seems like you have a mini me clone Arieta.. *spooky* and I thought the Tan colour of her tailored shorts worked lovely with her skin tone!

I HAAAD TO BLOG THIS AND SHOW YOU GUYS!

I am MORE convinced than EVER that Croydon now offers some of the best styling… I spotted this Beaut’ walking through House of Fraser.. and HAD to stop her in her tracks. Not only people working directly in fashion look so good, this striking young lady works for Rush hairdressers and everyday i see her she looks AMAAAZING!

What i love about her styling is that it is unique… I love to see mixtures of vintage, high street and a splash of label designers in an outfit!! Mixing labels is how TRUE creativity in styling is born. I give her two thumbs up!

Well, I can easily say these girls hands down are the most stylish girls i have SEEN in Croydon.. er.. YES.. Chav’ central CROYDON!

I can’t even begin to pinpoint what i love about these girls!

but i had to stop and talk to them…

We see a lovely mixture of textures i.e. faux fur, chunky knits and leather… As well as colours; camel, khaki and wine complimented with bold prints..

Not to forget to mention.. my super LOOOVE for vintage… and these girls are cracking out their textured vintage bags with a vengeance!

EVERYTHING these girls are wearing are BANG ON TREND!!

I am in LOVE!..

lool!

The first thing that came to mind for me was English heritage. This trendy gal reminds me of the goooorgeous florence with her fiery red hair.

I spotted this lady in office… yup again i say it.. OFFICE CROYDON!! funnily enough her colleague calls her ‘charity shop’.. tut tut. Any fashionista knows that the best things come from vintage. all these vintage boutiques we shop in were inspired by our very charity shops that sit on our streets. Forget embarrassing, like TK Maxx some charity shops are time-consuming to look through but you can reeeally walk out with some unique bargains..

Her use of Autumn/Winter key trend pieces make this outfit stand out! especially with her use of colour and texture. The faux fur scarf and khaki tailored harem trousers look absolutely gorgeous together. She has paired the tailored trousers with a sheer top which has a gorgeous leaf detail on it (gawwwsh i love attention to fashion detail!!). The outfit is perfectly garnished with her boy lace up shoes in a warm brown colour and her goooorgeous fiery red vintage updo!!

I am WON over with this look.. I just HAAAAD to stop her!!!

If you want to know how to do this quirky ‘Vintage Updo’ then take a look at this video… apologies for the long intro but i LOVE how this girl does it. You can also swap the chosen ponytail in this video for a bun or a like the above fashionista a twisted pony updo!!

Croydon is DEFINITELY a good place to be to get some style inspiration… And whats best than to walk past a group of friends who had their own individual looks… I absolutely LOVED their coats and just had to stop these ladies in their tracks!!

(starting left to right) The first lovely lady was wearing a floral vintage style coat which she bought from ‘sticky fingers’. The second lovely lady was wearing a simple chic grey coat from Krisp. The third lady .. May i say which IS my fav’ is wearing a coat from Oasis. And last but not least the fourth lady was wearing a hooded number from New Look

Keep an eye out for this gorgeous coat on Oasis… but get her look in these stores:

I was shopping in H&M When i spotted these two trendy ladies. Wearing Vintage of course, it just makes it even harder for us to steal their style!! *GASSSP  of frustration*

But what i particularly love about these two ladies style was their colour use of camel, golds and yellow with a hint of denim… it was as if they fell out of the same wardrobe LOL.

It’s always a good idea to inject bright colours into key pieces in an outfit like coats, bags, tights etc. and they done just that!! I love everything from the trendy haircuts to the chic vintage boyfriend shoes..

They get full scores hands DOWN *jumps up and down*

location?… yup, you guessed it.. CROYDON… I saw these cute vintage lovers in my hometown which is also known as ‘chav city’ I reiterate. But i must admit.. Croydon is showing to be a real hotspot for the fashion lovers!!

I liked the contrast in these two ladies.. One is styled for a more relaxed boy’ish look still keeping on trend with a wine coloured sweater, denim jacket and a gorgeous pair of washed out boyfriend/worker boots. Whereas the other is styled a lot more girly which reminds me a lot of  the girls I papp’ed for ‘English Heritage‘ I love her courage for subtly pulling of white knit tights and muted plaid print shorts. And I think she accessorized the outfit well by layering pendant necklaces making the outfit complete.

Bravo ladies…

Was very happy to bump into these two in Croydon on the high street. I think it stands out very clear why I stopped them..

The girl ESPECIALLY just screamed fashion I haaaad to stop her in her tracks. The union jack shoes should make Britain proud. She made use of florals aswell as denim with absolutely no fear.. and she pulled it of nicely garnishing this outfit with her gorgeous statement red pout. Whereas she was wearing Vintage items, the young lad told me he was sporting Good’old high street fashion i.e. Topshop etc. He wore it well.. and I’m happy to have finally taken a picture of a guy in Croydon who i can be proud of stylewise *wohoo*.. SO CROYDON MALE TRENDSETTERS.. COME OUT!!

Now, this style stalking post is different to ones i have  done before. not only did she catch my eye with those GORGEOUS high wast vintage style shorts, shirt and biker jacket BUT HER HAIR was so bang on trend.

I don’t know whether you have noticed this by now… but multi colour hair is HOT right now..

…good old crazy colour hair dye which you can find in any colour under the rainbow, which you can also find on my post on how to get nicki minaj’s look that she rocked out at the AMA awards!!

If you’re not so confident in dying your hair why not chose weave as an alternative.. i did!! get them clipped in, sewn in or glued in (seek professional help for glue)!!
