Sexy and spikey by shopaholicsoph featuring lace tops

Well it is that time of year again when the clothes and accessories are at their best!!! I LOVE autumn winter fashion and this year is no different! I love sequins, sequins and more sequins, I jadore faux fur I love the glamour and how fabulous it makes you feel, not to mention how toasty it is, I love leather....this year I am going to branch out and maybe go for a leather trouser, I mean I have jackets, leggings, skirts and shorts but leather trousers are what I am feeling, I love how all the clothes right now have gone that one step further and the strapping is pure bondage...it is beyond fierce!!! My gothic inner child is coming out in the form of a hand full of skull and knuckle duster rings not to mention all the jewellery made up of spikes....my love for studds has trippled this year, I want everything covered in studds and spikes, I'm contemplating buying bags of studds off ebay and getting creative as everything seems to be silver and gold is my preference!! I'll upload pix of anything I do get round to studding! All black is obviously my favourite choice for layering up all this fierce jewellery to make it stand out, and I will be teaming it with the perfect bright pink lippy...this is when I can track down the shade I am lusting after...MAC Candy Yum Yum, however it was limited edition circa 2007 and I am gutted to have missed out I need this lip colour so badly right now!!! If anybody knows where I can purchase one....please get in touch...until then I will have to make do with a Nars shade similar I will be purchasing after payday!! I also love how in winter heels become higher and therefore fiercer but I need to stop buying shoes and purchase some clothes.....or maybe more jewellery. Peace, love & all things studded Sophs xoxo

I say brrrrrrrrrrrrrr it's cold in here....

We all now it's cold, we are nearly in November, yet everyone is moaning it's freezing -crank up the heating and crack out the winter clothes!!!! It is essential this year that I purchase a new winter coat, as my warmest one a leopard faux fur number from Topshop circa 2009 is once again back with avengence and every other person is wearing it....I love this coat and am not ready to part with it, number one because it is very toasty, the warmest coat I own, and number 2 although it has been overkilled this year I still love leopard print....however my leopard needs to go into hibernation and a new faux fur coat needs to be purchased....although I have yet to find a coat I love this year, this Topshop one comes close, I love the fur and I like the fit but I feel it is stepping out of my comfort zone of black, they do do a black version but the fur is no where near as nice...what I do know is I need to find a warm coat quickly because I have been far too cold in my leather jacket and mongolian scarf combo these past few days.....however being cold does have the added benefit of burning extra calories!!

Peace, love and extra layering Sophs xoxo

Versace for H+M by shopaholicsoph featuring a quilted jacket

Ok so not blogged for a while, been busy with work and not really shopped much as far too skint. But since like Feb/March time when I heard Donatella Versace was collaborating with H+M I have been excited and looking forward to the 17th November.....it is now less than a month away....excited much!!! Now I am wishing the collection touched down on a payday but unfortunatly I am gonna have to save some money out of the small portion of wages I get to at least purchase not one but 2 of the gold bracelets with circle detail...I need these, one for each arm, they are amazing!!!! H+M you have outdone yourself, I am far more excited than any of the previous collections....yes including Stella McCartney. Ordinarily I would be eBaying my life right now so I could afford the leather jacket or maybe the studded leather dress but I am eargerly waiting for eBay to remove it's ban so I can list items.....I am bored of being skint £6.85 can buy you nothing!!!! Well a Vogue and a drink but I NEED fashion, I have literally no clothes suitable for winter and would kill for my winter wardrobe to consist of, well mainly Versace for H+M as lets face it, it's the closest I will get to Versace for a while!! Anyway I need to book this date off work and raise some funds over the next few weeks so I can smack up the Versace, I'll race you to the jewellery section! Peace, love & Donatella inspired tans Sophs xoxo
