Hey there DAHLIA

Photos by JCWS.... he's shy. (Dress courtesy of DAHLIA, neck tie thrifted, jacket Topshop, shoes Jeffrey Campbell)

Whilst I was in Japan, the absolute mega beauts at Dahlia sent me this little lace dress.... pretty nice welcome home present after a 20 hour journey!  They've also told me that you can all enter a comp to win one of their gorgeous sequin collar blouses HERE all you have to do is like and share the Dahlia page on Facebook... Good Luck! Anyways... I loved the dress and instantly knew I'd be throwing on a little black neck bow (I tend to do this with any garms that has a collar.... some sort of weird habit) I also decided to dust off this ancient topshop jacket and team it with my gnarly GAGA style platforms to toughen it all up a bit.... perfect ensemble for prancing round an old mill. In other news, I'm still pretty tired, but afternoon tea with my momma this weekend should sort that right out. At the moment this is about as summery as my outfits will get due to the British weather being totally uncool as usual. In the meantime, keep contacting me with your ideas for Fashion-Fade. you can email me on pennyfashion-fade@hotmail.co.uk Lots of love and hope you like! xo p.s I hope you like my dance SKILLZ.... totes the moves I bust on a night out.

Oriental Flavour

(All photos taken with Iphone 4s)

Well I'm back from my work trip to Tokyo/Hong kong/China ... Im pretty much The Queen of the Orient right now. To say I'm tired is the biggest understatement of the Universe. Im currently on a major Redbull binge just so that I can stay awake past 2 in the afternoon. However, feeling AND looking like a complete ugly troll is totally worth it. I strolled round Tokyo like a child in a sweet shop.... it was everything I'd dreamed of and more. For those that haven't been, It's a totally different kind of city to London and NYC, everyone is calm and polite and somehow everything seems to move at a leisurely pace. I tried on probably 30 pairs of novelty sunglasses in Harajuku and ate in the restaurant where Kill bill was filmed. In Hong Kong I was all about the views.... theyve even built sky scrapers into the mountains... (that shit's hardcore)and I wished Id been able to spend longer there. All in all it's been a pretty exhausting/inspiring/mind blowing but amazing trip. I even got stopped and asked to be in an advert for an alcoholic drink in Tokyo... so if anyone sees any shots of a very awkward looking blonde girl holding a can of what looked like peach schnapps and lemonade, then yeah.... that's me. Now that I'm back I have loads of well good ideas for outfit posts so stay tuned and I'll post the first one later this week (hopefully when I have de-trolled myself)...... xo

P.S While I was away I hit over 1000 followers on Fashion-Fade (not going to lie, it made me want to do the no-pants dance across Shibuya crossing) and I just want to say a massive thank you to all of my readers and followers. I take a peak at all of your blogs and it means so much to me that you take the time to follow me. You're all pretty amazing and hopefully you carry on being a follower and you don't get bored of my face. Cheers. Penny xo

Tie Dye on a Rainy day

Well it's raining again.... Its pretty hard to do outfit posts in the rain, but this is what I wore today to run errands and go shopping, I'd be lying if I said the tassels didn't get in the way ALOT. In a moment of boredom this morning I decided to do a tiger nail art... which actually turned out pretty good (hopefully you guys agree) Its really simple and I used a neon orange from a polish set I bought at Primark with the black Wah Nail pen. I love these Jeffrey Campbell clinic boots that I got in New york a few years ago,  and I think they've actually re-released them now in white also (good times) The hat I got from Ebay for about £2, Id been looking for an unbranded beanie for a while and this one does the job ten times over. Perfect for the absolutely hanus weather we're experiencing right now! Anyways... must dash, I'm rushing out for my absolutely gorgeous Mum's Birthday and need to get ready. Hope you're all having an amazing weekend and don't forget, if you have any questions or anything you'd like to see on Fashion-Fade just tweet me @penelopesarah Lots of Love! xo

Kaleidoscope dreams

Imagine if there were this many of me in the world...... we'd take over and make everyone wear studs and tassels. (And create world peace.)

So the weather has taken a major turn for the worse here in England, the sunshine has gone and the April showers and bitterly cold winds are in full force. Whats my reaction to this? Dig out a brightly coloured poncho and throw on my beautiful new top courtesy of AX Paris and prance around. I loved the colour of this top when I received it from the lovely Alex at AX Paris. I've been searching for a top or dress in the perfect shade that doesn't make me look like a little stupid satsuma..... and this top ticks all the boxes! It looks amazing over skinny jeans with a leather jacket thrown over the top, but will also be amazing if we EVER get any sunshine again, but enough about that, as all I ever seem to do is give you guys a very angry update on the British weather. Im so busy right now, as Im doing majorly grown up stuff in my personal life but I promise not to neglect you guys as you're my favourite people ever. Hope you're all ok.... also if anyone knows any good Interior design blogs hook a sistaaa up! Ciao xo
