Black is anything but boring when it comes to fashion. You may think that to have an exciting outfit you need something bright added somewhere, but for me I don't just look at colour. My favourite outfits are often all black but instead mix texture and shape so that the closer you look, the more interesting it becomes.

Fashion: Gold and Stripes

I bought this metallic gold jumper from H&M last year, and wore it to my first ever London Fashion Week show. Following on from wearing my gold skirt at Amanda Palmer the other night, I brought the jumper out of temporary hibernation the other night as the weather turned bitter, and decided it wasn't enough as one layer.

I got this striped shirt from a pile of clothes my aunt was sending off to the car boot. It's a couple of sizes too big, but I wear it over skinny jeans all the time. This was its first outing poking out of a jumper, and I really like how it turned out.

How are you wearing metallics?

Purse Palpitations Week #5

Starting to think about my A/W wardrobe but I have a holiday before then too. These things are currently top of my list:

I think I'm going to have to get this as my holiday beach bag. It's so colourful! £16.99 from Mango

Houndstoothtastic £24.99 from New Look

Gloriously tacky. Definitely need it. £2.26 from Dollarjewlery on Etsy.

Love that gothic is coming in for AW12. This is top of my list so far. £38 from Topshop
