when the lovely peeps at asos asked if I'd like to style up the logo mania look from their SS14 trend guide I couldn't wait to get started.. EXCITING! I opted for this parental advisory slogan tee as the main piece to work with and had rather too much fun getting my 90's on with this fun over the top motif based trend! 

I went for a simple dungaree and tee combo for the first look with a bit more logo mania thrown in with the addition of my stars & stripes high tops. I thought I'd try something less 90's for look two which was just a simple skater skirt, satchel and cut out ankle boots and my third look is outright lazy (ie. what you'll find me wearing on a regular basis) oversized vintage denim jacket, wet look leggings and chunky boots (I'm a little in love with these white spice girl numbers.. zig a zig ah)

my other favourite way to wear this trend is totally christopher kane influenced.. a slogan sweatshirt paired with a full a-line midi skirt. I'm already digging out my vintage sweaters.. hallelujah! you can have a gander at all the ss14 trends here (art school is my personal fave) I'm look forward to hurting everyone's eye with clashing prints and pop art colours this summer.. forgive me in advance. 

I underestimated how cold it was going to be when I popped out to take these pictures.. if you look closely you may see hypothermia induced tears in my eyes.. sweet baby jesus they'll teach me for getting carried away with #ASOSSS14 enthusiasm.

what are you looking forward to this spring..? pastels and graffiti prints are top of my list (..and errr cadbury mini eggs)

ellesse heritage ski sweatshirt c/o ellesse

oversized demin shirt: cow vintage

necklace: topshop

michael kors watch: c/o shadestation

beanie: primark

cut out boots: topshop 

despite never setting foot on the slopes in my life I'm pretty excited about this sweatshirt. ellesse have launched a new heritage collection exclusively with asos (think oversized boyfriend tee's and sports luxe track jackets.. but with a cool 90's feel) 

this ski print number has a distressed finished so even though it's brand new it has that 'I found it in a vintage shop' feel. it's highly likely the closest I'll come to taking part in any sports this year so I'm enjoying this moment of skiing enthusiasm. 

I thought I'd keep with the theme so wore a vintage denim shirt underneath along with the most hated (but essential) part of my current wardrobe.. the dreaded black tights. 

I also wore a beanie for the first (and possibly the last time) yes, I can conclude that they make me feel like a garden gnome...
