The Home Alone Hat

 

I spied this hat in Primark a few weeks before Christmas. It instantly reminded me of Kevin's hat of Home Alone fame and knew it had to be a part of my life. I'm a secret stars fan, I love a good star pattern but I feel they're a little emo-tweeny at times. Every now and then something starry will sneak its way into my basket and this hat had it all going on. I like what hats can add to an outfit, this one is especially good for simple outfits or an all black look.

 



 

I've been living in this camo jacket since I bought it, back in August. I find, surprisingly, it's really easy to style. It adds an edge and I love the grunginess of it. I'm planning a 'How I Style: Camo Jacket' post and the photos have made me notice just how versatile it is.

 

These cream Vans are another recent addition to my shoe-drobe. I've pretty much lived in them since they arrived and I'd definitely recommend them for anyone on the hunt for a neutral, go-with-anything pair of trainers.

One of my biggest problems when it comes to outfit styling is wanting to wear too much at once. I don't mean like the time Joey put on all of Chandler's clothes but rather my accessories tend to be bold and I have to remind myself not to wear them all at once. When I'm rooting around my wardrobe I find neutral clothes really boring, yet when I see them styled on other people I like it.

What styling dilemmas do you have?

90s Grunge

When the 90s grunge trend reared it's head at the end of the summer, for some reason I found myself really attracted to it. Perhaps it's the nostalgia of growing up in the 90s or, more than likely, I liked the laidback kind of thrown togetherness of it.

Like all fashion, my personal take on 90s grunge has evolved from Nirvana t-shirts and ripped jeans but I think the basic idea is still the same.

These three looks I styled without really trying to adhere to the grunge rules but they all came out with that sort of look. The camo jacket, acid wash shorts, studs, denim and retro Nike trainers are all throwbacks to the 90s, I just chose not to incorporate the terrible hair.
