H&M girl with the dragon tattoo collection

Anyone seen H&M’s “girl with the dragon tattoo” collection? It’s pretty cool, the clothes have that androgynous tough-edge that everyone seems to be wearing lately. The line has attracted some controversy lately when fellow blogger Natalie Karneef claimed the line “glamorised” rape…not too sure I agree with that one there. I think it’s a cool line, I like the pieces as an outfit, but I think they look a bit plain separately (although I’m aware that’s what most people love about it).

               On a side note, has anyone noticed that H&M clothes are AWLAYS wrinkled? I can never wear newly purchased clothing without ironing it first and it’s not just in the shops it’s the same with deliveries. Wrinkled. They need to work on that.

Review: Duffle coats!

Duffle coats are bang on trend this season. They’re everywhere, no matter where you look you’re certain to see these cuddly coats on the high street. But who sells the best coats you ask? Don’t worry FTFB is here to answer all your questions…

Berry Long Borg duffle Miss selfridge £45

I have this coat, and I must say I like it. The colour pops and it has a hood, which is handy for the rainy London weather. The only negative is that the fit isn’t perfect, which means it can look bulky if you’re not careful and often I find myself wearing it with the coat open (which doesn’t really make sense in the freezing cold). Still, it’s mainly great so I’ll give it a 9/10

Red fur hood duffle coat Dorothy Perkins £55.20

This coat has a great fit, I remember trying it on in the shop and thinking its shape and style looked awesome… unfortunately, the colour is absolutely revolting. It’s really bright I real life and looks a little cheap. Not a fan. 4/10

Snaffle Duffle coat Warehouse £50

This coat is really cool, it’s not my personal style but I love its unique take on the traditional duffle coat. It has a sort of wet-look heavy suede look that can be styled with biker boots to give it that rocker edge. 10/10

Review!!!!: Pixie lott Lipsy range

Now I’ll be honest, I’m not really a fan of “celebrity” fashion lines because more than often they consist of unoriginal ideas, poor designs and have ridiculous over inflated price tags. However, I LOVE pixie’s Lipsy range.  The price isn’t great, but it’s cheaper than a lot of the other celebrity lines out there and has some really cute statement pieces that you can mix and match with other high street items.  You can check the fashion line here.

One of my favourite items from the range is the Cropped Boucle Jacket and shorts. It’s really trendy and reminds me of something Blair Waldorf would wear (love her) but at £55 for a small cropped jacket…I’m not totally sold.  We are in a recession after all.

Overall, I’d five the range 8/10

It’s stylish, but a little pricy.

REVIEW: jeans!!

I’ll admit, I’m not the biggest fan of jeans.  I’m extremely picky and tend to only go for the skinny/kick flare styles; however I’ve decided to broaden my horizons and review some of the high streets best and worst.

Skinny Jeans: New Look £9.99

These are probably some of the best skinny jeans around, they actually look skinny on me (I have chicken legs don’t judge) and are super cheap. Result! The only problem is...they’re really tight. Honestly, I almost had a seizure trying to squeeze a pair on. 

9/10

Flare slim fit Jeans: H&M £19.99

 LOVE THESE!!!! I haven’t got a bad word to say about them, they’re stylish, fit perfectly, and are a change from the usual “skinny jean syndrome” everyone seems to have. Try it with a pair of brown boots and a promise, you’ll look ace.

10/10

Skinny Jeans: Primark £8

Awful.  Absolutely awful.  To be fair, they’re only £8 and I guess you get what you pay for, but these jeans are quite literally disposable. You wear them once, and have to bin them, never to be seen again. What’s more Primark don’t have an online site, so I can’t post any pictures. I feel bad because I am a huge Primark fan...I just hate their jeans.
