Inspired #1

Things that are inspiring me at the moment...

Picture 1
*A beautiful two-bedroom, both en-suite, fourth-floor, pent-house apartment available in a prime location for just £695 per month near to my city centre...*

*Bellatrix Lestrange-inspired make-up looks... That's my halloween costume sorted!*

*This summer just gone. The travel bug has well and truly bitten me, and now I know I am capable of traipsing across a foreign country all alone I am so much more confident!*

*The music festival my dad has organized for Halloween entitled, 'HippyHorror'*


*Wonder Forest blog... the blogger has decided she wants to be a millionaire and seems to have the motivation to achieve her goal*

SALE
*The Topshop mid-season sale... 'nuff said!*

*Company magazine always gives me brilliant ideas and just by reading it I feel like I'm one step closer to finding something I'm truly passionate about*

So there you have it. Just a tiny compilation of the things which are inspiring me at the moment. I wanted to write this post primarily because I've been feeling a little bit demotivated recently, but wanted to remind myself that you can find passion in even the smallest and most seemingly insignificant things. I have always been someone that thrives off the here and now, always looking for something in the present that pushes me to hit a goal in the future. I love seeing people break out of what would be the 'norm', or expected in society of them. Yes, I want to have my own super-duper posh flat, I want to fancy dress like a Harry Potter character, I want to see the world, I want to encourage and assist my Dad in making his festival a success for the local area, I want a girl who is just like me to prove that if you want to be a millionaire you can make it happen, I want to have a Topshop wardrobe and I want to feed off the success of business-women, fashionistas, journalists, make-up artists and models in a magazine and allow it all to contribute to the me of tomorrow. 

What has been inspiring you recently? What are your goals in the short and long term? How can you get what you want out of life?

This is the sort of post that epitomises what a HauteFuture really is and how I can achieve it... Hope you enjoyed it :)

Style Profile: Spring/Summer 2012: Topshop: SherbetSweetheart...


Why, hello there! This is a blog post I've been looking forward to publishing for ever such a long time as I have become totally obsessed with playing with Polyvore. If you haven't already discovered this fantastic site then you need to get on it, as it's like Microsoft Paint but for grown-up, fashion-obsessed ladies. You can make all kinds of magazine-esque fashion picture boards where you can paste anything that inspires you clothes/accessories/beauty-wise and I love it. Totally addicted. Even more so than I am with Pinterest and that is saying something as I've been known to while away hour after hour on that site. 


Anyway, welcome to 'Style Profile'! This is a new feature which I've decided to bring in as I've come back from my blog break. I'm totally obsessed with online shopping and throwing together wish lists etc, so the fact that Polyvore allows me to actually see my top picks like you would a fashion story in a magazine, makes my life worth living. Every now and then, I'll do a blog post like this, running you quickly through a new look which I'd like to rock in the current season each time focusing on one shop.


So for my first Style Profile for Spring/Summer 2012, I'd like to focus on my favorite store of all time, Topshop. The look which I've created here is one which I will definitely be buying some pieces from as its so feminine and sexy and sweet! I've called it 'SherbetSweetheart' as it reminds me a bit of the preppy-prom-type-North-American-style that I love so much and is full of slightly more vibrant pastels than we're usually used to.


Without much further ado, here's the look:



Cute, right? So, to work this look think peplum skirts, sky-high wedges, rosy-coloured make-up, structured jackets, cropped t-shirts, bright brogues, girly sunnies, skinny belts and candy-esque beaded bracelets. Topshop have this SherbetSweetheart look down to a T for Spring/Summer 2012... I want it all! 

So how much would this look set us back then, ladies...? Too much. Without a doubt. But then again, we don't need it ALL... Theoretically.

So what do you guys think about SherbetSweetheart? Do you have a Polyvore site? If so, check out my profile at http://hautefuture.polyvore.com/. And finally, do you know any other ways I can procrastinate from growing up and getting a job? Haha, let me know :)
