So the Nottingham fashion show for Thackeray's came round again and here are some of the pictures! 

It was an amazing evening and as usual left me feeling the need to spend spend spend.

My favourite piece was the black lace dress I wore from the brand Darling, so simple but a different twist on a traditional lbd.

Feeling a cheeky purchase coming soon! let me know what you think :)

Coat- Pepe Jeans / Top- eBay / skort- Zara / Shoes- Primark / Bag- Vivienne Westwood

It's been awhile! Here is my outfit from today. I recently celebrated my 18th birthday and my favourite present was this amazing pepe jeans coat. It's so warm and perfect for the winter! I teamed it with a simple slogan t-shirt and a white wrap skort. Paired with black tights and simple black ankle boots I feel this outfit was perfect for winter, warm yet still stylish.

Let me know what you think :)

Nottingham catwalk show

So I'd thought I would give you a sneek peek of the photos I have just received from the Nottingham fashion show for Thackeray's which I took part modelling in.

I picked 2 of my favourite outfits in these photo's.

The first outfit (my personal favourite) consisted of:

-Alexander McQueen dragonfly print leggings.

-Vivienne Westwood yellow leather handbag.

-Woolrich grey top

All finished off with a pair of Sam Edelman gold snakeskin peep toe heels.

The second outfit consisted of:

-Vivienne Westwood 'Apollo' clutch bag.

-Ted Baker rose gold heels.

And a Ted Baker black lace prom style dress.

Whilst I loved the outfits, the hairstyles aren't something I would personally see myself walking into town with although I felt they did channel a slight Marc Jacobs feel from his fall 2013 catwalk.

This is my first post and I suppose I am somewhat clueless! So i'll start by introducing myself with the 5 W's.

Who?

My name is Lana amber Nalepa. I'm 17 years old from Northampton, United Kingdom. 

Serendipity Jones has only just started. I was not 100% sure if I wanted my blog to be named after my own name so I thought up Serendipity Jones. 

-Serendipity means 'finding something beautiful somewhere unexpected' whilst 'Jones' is one of the most popular surnames so to put them together I felt they almost contradicted each other?

What?

This blog is a look at lifestyle, beauty and fashion. Beauty and fashion are my two greatest passions, and I am always being inspired by things around me. 

At 14 years old I took a hair and beauty diploma which lasted 2 years. In these 2 years I learned everything you could think of about hair and beauty. I'm currently studying a 2 year Fashion&Clothing level 3 BTEC here in Northampton.

I feel as though a blog is the perfect platform to share photo's, inspiration's and idea's with people all over the world.

When?

Serendipity Jones is a completely new platform for me. I've been thinking about starting a blog for a few years now I just never had the confidence to finally pursue it. By creating this blog I wanted to do something which is new and stylised.

Where?

I currently live in Northampton, United Kingdom. Eventually I want to move to a bigger city to pursue bigger things, but right now I am quite content where I am.

Why?

To share ideas, inspirations and work. I am constantly being inspired by other people and things around me, and by sharing it I hope to introduce things I love to people.
