Are You a Style Stealer?

What is your preferred shopping style? Do you browse magazines, polyvore, and the like first for inspiration, or just do it the good old fashioned method and wander around the shopping malls? Do you shop online or prefer to go into the store? And, if you eat one handful of M&M's do you feel the irresistible urge to finish the whole pack?

I have a confession to make. I hate trying on clothes when I go shopping. I also want to be a Charlie's Angel but neither are likely to happen. The fashion spreads in magazines are so gorgeous but let's face it Captain Obvious, these clothes are on 6 foot, size 6 bodies, so are not a very good representation of how they would appear on my shorter and curvier body.

This is where blogs come in handy - real girls. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, and nicking someone else's pieces and mixing it in with my own is my favourite way of shopping. You see I am a style stealer. Ba da daaaaa.

Here are some inspirations I have adopted (nicked) from blogs recently;


Sirricco Leather Bag - As seen at Lady Melbourne
Betts Black Ratty Sandals - as seen at Not So Naked

Jimmy Choo for H&M - as seen at The Hollywood Heels


Barry M Bright Purple Nail Polish as seen at You've Got Nail



Anything Asos, a new obsession from Natalie at Lemon Butter. Like these way-farer looking sunglasses and black lace tights. So cheap! 

Thanks blogchicks, for letting me steal your style.

What is your shopping style? Do you have any real girl style inspirations?

And do you secretly wish you were a Charlie's Angel? If so, can we start our own? (I baggsie being Jacyln Smith)

I agree Yvette. 90% of the time I never try on clothes before I purchase them. What a waste of time and effort!
