The Tudors






ASH WEDGES (similar style here)

Ever since I saw this editorial in Teen Vogue magazine, I've wanted to try to recreate the look. And of course, own those Ash wedges; which I am quickly finding to be a permanent fixture to my summer wardrobe. Thanks to a lovely representative over at Sophistix who sent these shorts my way, among a few other fabulous pieces. The moment I saw them I was instantly reminded of the era of pantaloons and the type of dressing showcased on Showtime's television series hit, The Tudors. Jonathan Rhys Meyers would be proud. ;)


Under the Canopy t-shirt. Sophistix shorts. Marc Jacobs cardigan. Forever 21 sunglasses. Ash Wedges (similar style here). Vintage studded bag.

KateMossFan said...

You did a great job recreating that editorial! I even like your shorts better than the ones in Teen Vogue, they have this Arabian flair. And I don't know, are your shoes exactly the same ones? I don't know, it seems to me as if yours are a softer shade, which I like more than the one in the editorial.
Those Ash wedges are awesome. I think they go with practically anything, so they're a very good investment! :)
I love balloon shorts. They are edgy, fashionable. Me, they remind of the ancient Middle East, but you're right - they had such trousers in the era of the Tudors too! Jonathan Rhys Meyers would melt if he saw you in these shorts! ;)
I like your handbag a lot!
And hehe I love the song that's playing in your music widget :) Science rules!

Antonio Barros Thanks :)


caylee I will always love these shoes, I'm almost sad I didn't get them in every color when I had the chance.....

Have you ever considered cutting your hair? I think adding bangs and layers would really add volume and update your look to match your outfits =)

Very cool I love those shorts and your platforms. I didn't see the editorial in teen vogue but your post is inspirational =)

Porcelain Blonde said...

Ok, I went "ohhhh" out loud when I saw these beautiful photos! Great colourful location.

I especially love the little shorts, so sweet and kinda Chloeesque, yes? You have the pins to work them too ;)
And the shoes = heaven.

I have just bought season 2 of The Tudors and can't wait to watch it!

BTW I have serious hair envy. To cut your mermaid hair would be a crime, don't ever do it.
I'm growing mine back after serious hormone dramas (boo, I lost my mane) and I'm aiming for it to be half way down my back! Any tips or products you find invaluable? I'm taking liquid sileca daily...

Stay beautiful xxx

I love how Summery your outfit is! Those wedges look good as do those shorts. I'm liking the cardi and bright yellow bag too. (^_^) Also, can I ask, how tall you are? Your legs look so long! Or is it just the wedges that make you look model-height? Lol.

In reply to your comment... I'm good thank you, how are you? xxx

In answer to some of your Questions-

I'm 5'6" / 5'7"

Took me a little over 2yrs to get it to this length in particular. I use Garnier Fructis conditioners (especially leave-in) drinks loads of water and nosh on plenty of fresh fruit and veggies. That's about it.

Please, for the love of God, cut your hair.
