LONDON LONDON LONDON LONDON!!!!!!

Love these analog film 'In Full Bloom' by Kat Riddell.


I'm off to london in a couple of weeks for the first time! I've honestly past excitement now, i can't wait! ahhh!! So i need some help please, well advice, shops to visit, vintage stores to go to, rockit? mint vintage? beyond retro? Is london open on sundays... what about bank holidays! Which is the best topshop? eep!! Anyway some more exciting news, we've reached ninety nine followers! How did that happen?! As giveaways have become the 'to do' thing, i will most likely be doing one when we hit triple digits, just to say thanks to all you guys! 

Enjoy the rest of your week,

HANDFUL OF FASHION.

So i think this is the last of my interview posts, i might do a few more later on, if you've enjoyed them?
This mini interview is with Erika Bowes from Handful of Fashion, i literally couldn't believe my inbox when she replied, true blogger crush. I came across Erika's blog when i signed up to 'Style Journals', her posts are filled with outfits, charity shop finds, parties, DIY projects. Just a general great read, so pop on over if you get a moment!
What made you start blogging? 
I've been addicted to checking fashion blogs everyday and getting inspiration from people such as Rumi Neely and Olivia Lopez.

What's behind the name of your blog?
I don't actually know, I guess it just came to me while thinking of a name!

Describe your style in three words. 
Floral vs Spikes. (I like pretty and grungey things mixed!)

Who's your favourite fashion blogger at the moment?
 Hmm I'd have to say Rumi Neely, she's my all time favourite, even though our fashion is quite different I just love that fact were both half Japanese half White and her post and pictures are really interesting!

What three items can you not live without?
My iphone, studded bracelet and bright lipstick.

What styles are you looking forward to embracing this summer?
I don't actually look for summer clothing that's 'in' i'd just prefer to buy what I like!


If you haven't seen the other blogger interviews and want to, here are a few quick links :)
Sofie from Walther
Amanda from Amanda Brohman
Kaori from KaoriAnne

Hope you have a good night, 90210 later ahhhh!!!!

FESTIVAL MUSINGS.


I admit, i'm a little late posting about Coachella, but i definitely had to, whether it was 25 days ago or not!! The amount of inspirational styles from this 72 hour festival's crazy! I've been forced to choose my favourites, other wise this post would be so loonngg, you'd be scrolling for hours! Going to Coachella is on my list of things to do, the line-up, the fashion, the hot weather,  the fact it's on a lush green polo field in a LA desert, the parties - Philip Lim at Joan Collin's old house, another at Elvis's,  what's not to love! Here's the official Coachella website if you wanna find out more! They have pages dedicated to lost keys, cameras, bags, phones, very organised considering the scale of the festival! Anyhoo textiles and english await me, have a great week,

AMANDA BROHMAN.

Back with another interview post, Amanda Brohman's blog is literally heaven. It's on my bookmarked blog list which i check out everyday because without fail, there will be a new post to read. I admire Amanda's style and how she puts pieces together, as well as of course her amazing collection of Jeffrey Campbells! Her blog is an inspiration and i urge you to check it out if you haven't already discovered it.

What made you start blogging? 
 I haven't been interested in fashion for a very long time but when I started my blog in September 2010 I had begun to experiment with different styles and clothes and I loved it, so I wanted the "rest" of the world to know about it.

What's behind the name of your blog?
 Myself, haha. I never thought about having a different name for my blog then my own name because this blog is about me and my life in style. Now I kind of feel the urge to re-name it, though. I might, in the future. 

Describe your style in three words. 
Vintage, sheer, romantic.

Who's your favourite fashion blogger at the moment?
The Cherry Blossom Girl , because she and I have the same sense of style and the same interest in photographing so she's a great inspiration to me! 

What three items can you not live without? 
I can live without most things. But it would be awful to live without my camera, my iPhone or my Jeffrey Campbell "Foxy" shoes at the moment. 

What styles are you looking forward to embracing this summer? 
 I think I love the current 70's trend, so I will definitely do more of that. But also I will improve my romantic/vintage style even more. Just keep creating styles, because that's what  I like about fashion! 


Back to school tomorrow, i don't think i've dreaded anything more, exam season literally starts in 14 days, my knees are shaking! Posts may be a bit sparse because of this, so just a heads up :)

much love,
Mango
