SPOTTED: Vintage Leopard Print Purses!

From Lady B (first image) to Random Cutie in LA (spotted in Downtown LA) we've been spotting loads of vintage leopard print bags (almost always suede or suede-esque)! Even our sister has snatched one from our mother's closet. We guarantee if you go rummaging around your mama's wardrobe you may find such a gem, I feel as though they were as much a staple in the 80's as leggings are today (oh wait and in the 80's). Speaking of which...we want Lady B's pants (alas from Hong Kong).

We need inspiration ALSO.

One of the highstreetq8 girls is going to an "evening function", and was in one of those "BLAH dont feel like thinking about what to wear moods". (Yes we get those too, although we hate to admit since we love getting dressed up SO SO SO MUCH). Anyhoo we popped into one of our favorite little style inspiration blog, "Almodablog" and loved loved loved their piece on The Glastonbury Festival and get mucho inspired by all the lace and denim and VOILA...fashion crisis averted.

Prints and Polka Dots!!!

Lady B girl , YOU ON A ROLL THIS WEEK GURL! Honestly though...really you make us feel like we are back in Japan with this outfit, we want to take you, put you in our closet and only make you come out when we need to feel " happy-lucky-goodtime-fashion-DESU!" (enter animation image of Lady B with twinkly eyes and a peace sign, head tilted to the side of course).
So don't be scared people, whenever you are like "I really want to mix prints, but I just DONT KNOW " channel your inner Japanese self. God knows we all have a little Japanese in us from watching endless hours of dubbed anime (ohhh we MISS Captain Majd, Kabamaro, Flouna and Tuta al Sagheera).

Pencil Skirt Chic

A beautiful simple combination that can take you from office to gathering or a night out so easily. Attention in the details always! The amazing folds in the skirt (as pointed out by Lady B) and the intricacies of the scarf, mixed with the feisty-ness of the shoe creates a very understated sexiness. We love how Lady B always roughens up her look, in this case via a white wife beater! Domo arrigatto Lady B!!!

How to wear long skirts

I could go on and on about this look. But really, it just speaks for itself. It is modern, stylish it is SO personal. I wish you could have seen her cute little studded hat as well. It is just a Lady B success! I love how she rocks her shoes with little white socks.

Shanghai and Lady B

Lady B and her Shanghai finds are making me consider selling my kitty in the black market for a ticket (NOOOO BOWIEE...I iz JOKING). So, I am so digging these "jeggings"- the perfect marriage of comfort and body-con. Lady B's style is the perfect marriage of high street and high end fab.
