Following on from my post on her appearance in VOGUE's new issue, I thought it was more than necessary to reveal to you all my absolute obsession with superstar-singing-acting-allroundamazing-mum Beyonce. 
Ever since I was a little girl, I've been in love with her music, her style, her voice...everything. It would be a dream come true to meet her!

After browsing through her photoshoot with Vogue, it got me reminiscing about Bey's style throughout the years. Recently, I've been 'umming' and 'ahhhing' over how to style my hair next, and then I remembered the Deja Vu video... now, I don't know about anyone else, but I LOVED everything about this video! The clothes, the vocals, the beat and of course the incredible hair which I am thinking of attempting! Dare I try? What do you guys think?

Here are a couple snaps from the video, but definitely watch the whole thing here if you haven't!

WISH LIST

Having just signed up to Bloglovin, I've been absolutely in awe of the amazing clothes posted after being spotted on the street or blogger's wearing them out themselves. So I thought I'd share with you all what I love the most in the form of a very unlikely wishlist!

1. Parka, Je M'en Fous 

This absolutely gorgeous winter Parka was spotted on The Blonde Salad after she wore it in New York after the Victoria Secret Show. I am totally in love with the fur hood and cuffs; perfect for winter. Unfortunately for me, it's 574Euros. Boo :(

A/W12 - DARK AND DARING!

It can't be denied that Gothic influences have been surrounding us for years now, in every shape and form. Just have a look at the Vampire craze and the supernatural spectrum, following from the Twilight Saga to True Blood...even the airy-fairy stories we were all once told to fall asleep to have been turned into a twisted and Gothic fairy tale!

...just have a look at the costumes for Snow White! Everything about it is dark, sinful, wicked and daring; a perfect example of what Missguided is branding Gothicology!

Personally, i've always been a fan of black: the effortless yet stunning LBD every girl should have in their wardrobe is perfect for any night out - clubbing or fine dining! But the new take on this rebellious Gothic glamour has caught everyones attention and boasted A/W12's catwalk and high street trends!

Runway VS High Street

Having just gone past Halloween, what better than to indulge ourselves with this A/W's forbidding fashion fix. Crucifix motifs, leather and silhouettes are this seasons perfect mix for a moody romance! Have you got a fashion Goth guru hiding somewhere?

A/W12 - BAROQUE ROCKS!

Embellishment, embroidery, extravagance - the 3 "e's" perfect to describe A/W's rebellion of ornate clothing!

We've gone back in time to the 17th Century where the Baroque and Rococo periods made an appearance and have now come alive this season through eye catching golds and blacks! The runway produced a heavy amount of patterns, jewels and other shimmery stuff, outlining the complexity of the Baroque and Rococo movement.

From dresses to jackets to trousers to accessories, opulent and lavish couture from the catwalk hit the high street quickly as we see a parade of elaborate Rococo-inspired prints and ornamentation; perfect for a sexy yet luxurious night out!

I'm in love with the patterns; and gold and black? The two most "look at me I'm rich and glamorous" colours...need I say more?

My fave STYLE SPOTS for this trend so far...

ASOS Premium Knicker Short with Floral Embellishment

ASOS Brocade Metal Plate Waist Belt

...and only £45 and £18! Bargain!... (I wish)

What do you guys think? Baroque brilliant? or Baroque bore? Let me know in the comments!
