Geek chic.
Those Lego accessories spotted on the Marc Jacobs runway are both easy and affordable to recreate. Snap a few blocks together, glue a paperclip on the back, and slip the charm onto a pendant chain. Or, try gluing the plastic blocks onto the back of a pin for an instant brooch or onto a plastic headband.

- Solid, detailed filmy blouses
- Bright cardigans
- A black knit tank dress
- Gladiator-esque flat sandals

Brit Invasion.
Welcome everyone, and thank you for visiting. This is my first attempt at blogging; however, I am hoping that my finished product will be more of an online fashion journal encompassing panache and style. By focusing on easy yet chic D.I.Y.'s, runway looks, checklists of essentials for the new season, and my personal style, hopefully all visitors will be able to relate to Brit Invasion. Any comments and/or suggestions are welcome!
Hearts, Elle
