BEANIE LIKE BECKHAM!

David Beckham has always and will always be one of my favorite male style icons. The man looks good in anything (or nothing lets face it) but one thing me and david share in common is our love for Beanies!

A good slouchy beanie is the fail safe throw on piece for days you cant deal with spending 15minutes on your hair , or to simply add that element of urban edge to your outfit. Some looks just look that much better with a beanie! One thing I love to do is take a conventionally dressy look eg.shirt and tie and fuck it up slightly by added skinny jeans military boots and then topping it off with a beanie. Shirt + Tie does not always = styled hair , I think there's something extremley sexy with that juxtaposition of dressed up and dressed down combined in an urban way. I got this H&M one for 3quid in the sale last winter & havent stopped wearing it! Get your beanie on this winter boys and girls xoxo Deni

URBAN STATE OF MIND!

While preparing my outfit for a Sunday stroll by the river for The Thames Festival , the blue skies and sun in the air inspired my outfit. Its somewhat 90210 inspired - Infact I think its Beverly Hills 90210 Stonewash 90s Denim combined with Carrie Bradshaw's J'adore tee with a rouger edge!

Either way while stumbling through the sale rack at one my favorite London shopping spots Urban Outfitters I landed two amazing pairs of Cheap Monday jeans each on sale for a mere 9quid! What would have cost me 60GBP each cost me 19.99 for the two! Now ignore the fact that I have constantly growing jean collection who would be silly enough to pass up this bargain to add another 2 pairs to the mix! I felt that being a glorious sunny sunday it was the perfect op' to debut one the ripped up style of Cheapies! I was quite pleased with the end result - and was snapped by a photographer while walking through the crowds of The Thames Festival as he liked my style - always a compliment! Whilst at the festival I bought this really cute friendship bracelet for a pound , to sit next to my Pyrus bracelets (which i'm still obsessed with btw)

TIME TO ROCK'N'ROLL!

With VOGUE's fashion night out to prepare for , choosing the right outfit was difficult yet so natural. Inspired by an old Motley Crue album cover i recently saw online - I wanted to give the allure of a rock'n'roll with a touch of Glam. One of my style philisophies is , no matter what one wears , no matter what the occasion is - even if your simply going down to the shops to buy milk - if you add a touch of glam it makes you look & feel better. 80% of an outfit is the way you carry yourself in it & glamour = confidence!

The final result began with an amazing recent vintage purchase. I've been searching for the perfect black velvet blazer for almost 2 years now. 2 weeks ago upon digging through a bargain bin on every Vintage Lover's Brick Lane Markets , I found the perfect Vintage Black Velvet Blazer which cost me a ground total of 1 pound! Count it 1 - literally a quid! I've been waiting for the right occasion to pull it out and the evening to kick off pre-fashion week buzz seemed more than appropriate. Teamed with my studded 'the doors' tee compliments of Amplified via Topman and a pair of seriously skinny black Cheap Monday jeans , I fastened the laces on my worn out patent leather shoes from ZU shoes. I added my topshop armour ring and pulled out my Alexander McQueen skull ring to add a touch of high fashion. I kind of feel like I may wear this jacket all fashion week if I dont find a better alternative. I love the way it feels on & the way it makes me feel when I'm wearining. So here it is Rock'n'Roll Glam done by Deni xoxo

INDUSTRIAL MONOCHROME

Black and White has always (and probably will always) be my favorite combination. Nothing is more classic yet always remains modern. Nothing is quite as crisp as a fresh white tee and a the perfect pair of black skinny jeans can be revolutionary. Today's outfit was inspired by  the industrial area's I see on my walks to work through Kings Cross

the result was my trusty H&M skinny jeans - a mere 14 quid - they are my absolute favorite pair of black skinny's. The perfect silhouette and with just enough stretch to be comfortable. Paired with one of life's greatest basics the fresh white tee I decided it would be the perfect canvas for a bangin' neckpiece!

I am a lover of accessories and always will be. They can completely update a look and complete an outfit. This chain was giving to me by one of my best friends Cody as a leaving present and then recently one of my work mates looped it through this industrial hook type thing. It weighs a tonne but is so fly! Hiding behind my Dior aviators are a must. (I bought them in Paris 5 years ago and though I have over 6 pairs of shades I havent stopped wearing them) and the slouchy beanie paired with my 'cant live without' biker boots add the perfect street element to this outfit. I'm liking today's urban-tough warrior! xoxo Deni

THE DIARY OF MY WARDROBE!

Fashion is a form of expression. Getting dressed every mornng is a way of telling the world how you feel. How you want to feel. Who you want to be. What's inspiring you. What's exciting you. Most people get dressed because its a necessity , a normality , a part of every day life. To me getting dressed is so much more than that. It is my way of self expression. Life is like dress ups , the opportunity to play a different character every day and use the pavement as your own personal runway and shine! Some of you may know my blog www.theboywiththepradabackpack.blogspot.com which i've been using (and will continue to do so) to document my travels and personal journey of my life and fashion adventures in London Town - however for over a year now I've been documenting what i wear on a daily basis and have decided to start another blog to further share the diary of my wardrobe.

What I wear. How I wear it. What i'm buying, what inspires me - it is as most other things in my life - an open book. A chance for the world to have a sneak peek into this fashion obsessed boy from Melbourne making his fashion dreams come true in London - one outfit at a time! Welcome to my wardrobe, stay tuned for regular posts x hope you enjoy! xoxo Deni

p.s obviously this is a picture of my fashion icon Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe :) you'll soon realise just how much she inspires my thoughts/feelings on fashion & how I get dressed every morning!
