WHAT I WORE:
Shirt - Mum's: 'A real cowboy shop in colorado'
Top - Forever 21
Skirt - Athlens (sweden)
Boots - Next

A pretty chilled outfit from today, featuring my new '60s space cadet thigh high boots, which are fabulous, and my Mum's 'authentic' cowboy shirt, which is also fabulous. I've been listening to my Blondie vinyl a lot lately, so I'm kind of just channeling Debbie Harry whenever possible. 

This week I went to see First Aid Kit which was beautiful. My friend Lily and I got there early, so we were pretty close to the front. Despite my shins killing me for the next three days because of standing up for so long, it was worth it.


There are lots of very exciting things going on behind the scenes at Lexi Likes, so stay tuned.

Chuck skirt and tartan tights






Hey! I have an outfit post for you today from my trip to Sweden a little while ago. I bought this amazing skirt when I was there after watching some episodes of Pushing Daisies and feeling very inspired by the character Chuck. She always wears fab poofy '50s skirts. The show was on TV a while ago but I was recommended it by a friend recently and now I'm hooked. It follows the path of a man, Ned, who can bring people back to life if he touches them. If he touches them again they go back to being dead and he can't revive them. But after touching them once, if they are alive for more than a minute someone in close proximity has to die in their place. It's a little confusing but the first episode explains it well. Chuck is Ned's childhood sweetheart who he brings back to life. However it's almost painful to watch as they are so in love but they can't touch. The two and a private investigator solve crimes together by reviving murder victims and asking them who killed them, then collect they reward. The best part of the show is by far Chuck's wardrobe choices, and the fact that Ned owns the coolest pie shop ever but that's a separate matter.

Jumper - Topshop
Skirt - Sweden
Tartan tights - Clazedonia 
Boots - Clarks
Leather cuff - Pure london goodie bag

It was an amazing coincidence that on the same day of watching the show and buying the skirt my grandma made pie for pudding without me even mentioning it to her. It was all very aesthetically pleasing and the pie was every bit as good as it looks.


I'd really like to do a full lookbook inspired by Chuck so let me know in a comment if you would be interested!

Tulle crown

Bonjour! Sorry I haven't posted in a week but I have been dealing with the GCSE choice process, various tests and (much more exciting) planning my agenda for the next few weeks as the fashion week season is fast approaching! I'm going to a couple of events over the month so look forward to posts about those! I posted a picture on my instagram of some Rookie/Tavi/Petra/Meadham Kirchoff inspired crowns but I thought I'd show you some better photos of the tulle one I made. I simply got some tulle/netting and cut small squares and circles then pinched them at the centre and glue-gunned them onto a white headband. I think it looks so pretty, and the light today was amazing so I couldn't not take any pictures.





This sweatshirt was my Mum's and originally white. It's years old so I dyed it a peacock blue to give it some life. I've also been into wearing super jazzy tights like these grey cable ones and the boots that I wrote about HERE have barely left my feet.

Denim dilemma - Outfit





Leather midi skirt - Vintage
Stripey top - old so not sure
Denim Jacket - brother's old (originally gap)
Sheer tights - M&S
Boots - thrifted

This is my outfit in full that I wore last Sunday to the Scoop London fashion trade show. I love the leather skirt, it's such a cool statement piece. It can be quite dramatic but easily dressed down with an old denim jacket. I haven't worn a denim jacket in YEARS so I felt a little weird. I added super sheer tights and a stripey tee to add some contrast to the leather and then my new thrifted boots. It was very fun and if you haven't seen my post about the show and my day, read HERE.

These boots are made for walking


I've been thrifting/charity shop shopping so much recently and have found some amazing things, including these wonderful combat boots. They are so good that an old man actually serenaded me on the bus today with 'these boots are made for walking' - it was brilliant (and slightly awkward). I've been looking for a dr martin style boot for a long time, but I wanted something slightly more elegant and feminine because although they look great on some, dr martens aren't for me. That's why I was so thrilled when I found these bad boys in a local charity shop BRAND NEW. They were at the pretty decent price of £13. Anyway I have so many other amazing finds which I can't wait to share with you in the future. Now, enjoy the sweet sound of Nancy Sinatra.

Leather panel leggings 17.09.13




I went out on a rainy day in these super cool leather panel leggings which I just L O V E and it definitely felt like autumn had started. They are lovely and high waisted and I paired them with my new monochrome bandanna from Rokit (a vintage store in covent garden) and my beloved Chelsea boots.

Lexi Likes -- Studded boots

I purchased a pair of these black boots the other day from H&M and I have been wearing them non stop. They are pretty basic with a small heel, but the heel and back of the shoe have funky gold studs. They add the coolest edge to any outfit; I could wear pajamas and it would still look good.My style is pretty versatile but I always have to have a little edge, whether it's a studded bracelet or a skull jumper with a floral skirt, it is a must have in my opinion.

 All for now,
