Yesterday was magazine Tuesday - so last night was spent trawling through hundreds of pages of fashion and salacious gossip! What more could I ask for? Vampire Diaries was on too so it was a perfect evening in for moi.
Loving lace right now and anything that looks like a nightie! My Dad has expressed his dislike for this look i'm working right now.
"Why have you dressed like your going to bed?" Do I have to answer? I think not! LOL.

Please ignore the hair - This was my attempt at crimping my hair before I went out!

2010-03-02T03:05:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I have done an outfit post - the days just fly by and before you know it, it's March. How did that happen? This week has been filled with getting dressed annoyingness (Is that even a word?) I'm in one of those "I don't want to wear anything in my wardrobe moods" I have never had it to this extent before - I know what your thinking whine, whine, whine! I would just like to stay in my comfy bed in my warm pj's until I get some sort of inspiration - maybe from Buffy the Vampire Slayer - ha ha! Thats my random stupid whining over with today! Off to get some Diet Coke!

London Fashion Week: Designers

2010-02-28T10:12:00.000-08:00

Just a quick post about the rest of the fashion shows that I got to attend. If I leave them to one post each I will be posting about London fashion Week for another week!

And the award for best catwalk hair style goes to...............................Belle Sauvage.

When the models first came down the catwalk the first thing that I noticed was the hair. What first came to mind was T-Rex! Why you ask? I have NO idea!

The prints were fabulous, the colours were Amazing and it was nice to see that the body con is still around.

Bora Aksu

Photo from www.londonfashionweek.co.uk

Bora Aksu was fabulous. The colours were feminine and fun mixed with some black to sex it up. This was my fave look.

Aminaka Wilmont

Aminaka Wilmont was absolutely packed out! Luckily for me I got to stand next to the photographers so I got a pretty good look but unluckily for me my camera died! BOO HOO!

photo from www.londonfashionweek.co.uk

My fave look. You can't beat a maxi dress. There is something about them that I absolutely love. I loved the colour palette of blues, black, whites and greys. Thoroughly enjoyed the show, such a shame I didn't get any pics so that I could have shared more with you.

Iris Van Herpen

My first thought at this show was aliens meets the fifth element, however these two pics do know show what I'm talking about. The show was very futuristic. Lots of blacks and metallics and as these pics tell, sometimes bug like.
That's the end of my fashion week posts until Sep xxxxxxxxxxx

London Fashion Week: J. Maskrey Autumn/Winter

2010-02-25T11:48:00.000-08:00

J. Maskrey was the last show for me at London Fashion Week and I wasn't let down. What was quite possibly one of my fave shows was full of glitter, sparkles and body jewelry bliss!

Described as futuristic biker chicks, girls dripped in crystals and diamonds, supe luxe criminal with a sexy attitude - sounds exciting right?

Sadly my camera was no use as it decided to die the first day of fashion day. So I will be using Milly's pics! Thank goodness she was there!

The male models wore next to nothing except for their torsos and arms which were covered in sparkly crosses, stars, hearts, butterflies and much much more! I think the words 'WOW' left my mouth when this model came down the catwalk. I had no idea before the show that J Maskrey was known for fabulous body jewelry.

The girls had amazing sparkly nails which you just couldn't keep your eyes off - well I couldn't.

One model came down the catwalk covered in leopard print body jewelry, sadly no photo! I will try and find a link for you guys so that you can see what I mean.

I do not even know how to describe this dress as it is far to late for me to be typing! So just enjoy the picture. This ensemble was the final item of the show. The model stood there sparkling and sparkling under the lights - Brilliant!

Thanks again for the pics Milly

London Fashion Week: Paul Costelloe Autumn/Winter

2010-02-24T03:14:00.001-08:00

Paul Costelloe has been the opening show at London Fashion Week now for 5 seasons. I was very excited to be attending as it was my first fashion ever at LFW. For some reason I was put in front row and it was amazing! I spent a long time wondering how the models were going to brush out there hair and how it got like that in the first place - i’m guessing ALOT of backcombing was involved.

What first surprised me when the models came out was how wearable the collection looked. I’m not sure if I would get away with wearing Coats which go out at the waist to make a volumous puff ball, but i’m sure some of you fashionistas will work it.
Nearly all the female models came out wearing black tights with what can only be described as mid leg PVC/leather leg warmers - and I actually think I might give that a try! I’ll let you know if it works on the legs of a 5ft 3 girl. LOL.

This look reminded me of an updated Sandy from Grease with a sheer ruffled blouse.

This look was my fave. I will definitely be sporting something similar soonish.

Barganista Show & Tell

2010-02-22T14:11:00.000-08:00

Voucher Codes asked me if I would like to enter there Barganista Challenge and the prize is 2 VIP tickets to London Fashion Weekend - of course I said yes!

To enter the comp I had to pick my best bargain buys and tell all my secret bargain hunting tip.

Outfit:

Wearing Vintage Levis Denim Shirt (Dads Wardrobe), ASOS Skirt (£10) and Primark Army Boots (£19)

Secret bargain hunting tip:

Shop around - I read lots of magazines each week and I am always in shops just looking at clothes and shoes. When I see something that I like I shop around i'm like a walking talking compare the market.com LOL!
Also look in your parents attic. I just recently found about ten pairs of Levis jeans and shorts that my parents had when they cost around 6 pence (So i'm told!)

London Fashion Week: Day Two

2010-02-21T11:59:00.000-08:00

I had a lovely lay in today as my first show wasn't until 2.45. It was a very exciting day for celeb spotting - Nicolas Roberts from Girls Aloud, Molly from The Saturdays to name a few. I felt a bit scared for Nicola Roberts as she got out her car to go into a show. All of a sudden there were loads of paparazzi trying to get a shot of her. I can only describe it as a flock of seagulls going in for the ONE chip! scary stuff - i'm surprised no one gets hurt. My first show was Iris Van Herpen where I first spotted this man - who ended up on the front row of every show. I wonder who he was? Anyone know?

After the show I headed over to Somerset House where I finally got to meet Milly who then introduced me to Molly, Jacqueline and Lucy They were such lovely girls and I hope that I get to meet them again soon and also LFW in Sep! We all headed off to Belle Sauvage together and got snapped for Emerging Fervour on the way. After the show Milly and I had a sneaky McDonalds - Sorry Lucy! LOL! and the headed over to J Maskrey show which was prob my fave show of the day! Milly got some brilliant pics but due to my stupid camera dying on me I sadly didn't get any! Grrrrr!

London Fashion Week: Day One

2010-02-20T15:54:00.000-08:00

Yes I know i'm a day late but I was too tired to blog yesterday. The day started at 5am (I am not a morning person, I'm more of a DO NOT talk to me before midday kinda person) I set off to Somerset house feeling like it was my first day of school. LOL! I excitedly queued up for my press pass and received an LFW canvas bag with a guide and a sharpie (I love stationary)
My first show was Paul Costelloe. I'm not sure how or why but I ended up on the front row. EEEEK! I pretended it wasn't a big deal - because I do this everyday of course! Ha Ha. I loved the show, but I will blog about that later. I had some time to kill before I had to got to another show so I went to Oxford Street for some retail therapy. Where I saw Olivia Palamero - I was far to shy to stop her for a picture. She is absolutely stunning! The Aminaka Wilmont show took me over to Victoria House. I didn't see much as I was standing for this one. I had a lady infront of me who was taller than me (I'm 5ft 2/3) who put both her arms in the air to film with one and take pics with the other. Everytime I tried to take a pic she moved and all I got was the back of her head or her arm! ANNOYING! After that it was back to Somerset House for free champagne and Bora Aksu. More tomorrow as i'm off to bed as the caffeine is wearing off.

Pls excuse the pics I am having serious camera trouble - I'm going to give in and buy a canon! Any suggestions?

London Fashion Week

2010-02-18T03:43:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow will be my first time at London Fashion Week. I'm excited to say the least, but very nervous. I'm such a wimp.

What to wear?
Where to go? - I get lost alot
What on earth am I doing? - LOL

Wearing heels all day in London is something I hate. Sore feet = Moody me, which is why I have become hideously attached to my Ugg boots - I am somewhat ashamed to admit! Flats in bag? Check!

Looking forward to the shows i'll be going to.
Bernard Chandran
Iris Van Herpen
J Maskrey
Aminaka Wilomont
Paul Costello
To name a few.

Many of these are thanks to fellow blogger MILLY (who I will be meeting)

Can't wait to meet other bloggers - though I do walk around like a blind person - so if you see/recognise me come and say hello!

Anyways hoping that it will be awesome, that the rain will hold off and that I get to see your lovely faces.

Pancake Fun

2010-02-17T02:38:00.000-08:00

Just thought I would do a quick post for you guys to show you my attempt at making pancakes. Those who know me will know I am an absolute menace in the kitchen and should not be allowed to cook unsupervised. This is what happened last night! This was the out come - 10 burnt pancakes.

Lesson learned - Do not make pancakes in a wok oh and do not use olive oil (woops)! But I give myself A+ for effort and because there heart shaped. LOL

Oh and they tasted disgusting!

Randoms

2010-02-16T02:39:00.000-08:00

I have misplaced my camera so here are a few pics from my computer that I took over the weekend.

On another note - I am so excited for London Fashion Week. It will be my first time there and I can't wait to meet other bloggers!
Happy Pancake Day!

Taylor squared MADE the movie they were so funny! Especially girl Taylor.

I decided that I needed to make heart shaped cupcakes today - bein V day n all - I am not the best cook/baker but I do try even though it always turns out 100% WRONG! I used silicon heart shaped cupcake moulds (Thanks Mum) You can check out the recipe HERE

They didn't turn out that great but they taste soooooooooooo good! Check out my heart shape egg. It took me three tries to get this far - I wasn't even hungry - what a waste! I'm going to use the heart shape mould to make heart shaped pancakes on Tuesday

New Look store opening

2010-02-07T09:35:00.000-08:00

• I went to the Opening of a New Look store on Friday in Oxford Street, London.

• I had such a great time and got lots and lots of new clothes and I now know that I like raspberry muffins.
• New Look is quickly becoming my fave store. S/S 2010 is bang on at New Look with floaty florals cut out back dresses, leather jackets - Pink Leather one is my fave and for some reason I didn’t get it! Big Mistake – I want it so bad!
pink lots and lots of pink! LOL!

• I also never realised how tall models were being 5ft 2 n all! Standing next to one whilst in flats was embarrassing.
• I really wanted these boots in black but I could not find a size 3 anywhere (The trouble of having small feet)

• Oh and check this swimsuit out. Its AMAZING! I will however have to make a few stops at the gym until this looks good on – I just couldn’t leave the store without it in my bag.

• A quick look at my new clothes

Hope your having a fabulous Sunday x

Taylor Momsen for New Look

2010-02-04T02:34:00.000-08:00

Just got an email in my inbox telling me that Taylor Momsen is the new face for New Look. I guess I should pay more attention to the media as this is no longer new news! Anyways I thought I would share some pics with you guys as I think she looks fab!

Enjoy x

Topshop Bag

2010-02-01T06:24:00.000-08:00

I was sitting in the front room the other night watching re runs of Sex and the City. It was the episode where she is discussing having kids with the Russian and he doesn't want anymore. Anyways getting to the point! Carrie Bradshaw is carrying a clutch bag that I totally fell in love with and decided that I had to have it. It looked like a large version of a purse and I think kinda 1950s era. So off I went to the shops with no luck, I scoured ebay for ages with no luck! then I went to Topshop - as I visit there daily! Yes I am sad! and I found a bag that wasn't quite what I wanted but it would have to do. I have infact fallen in love with it and will not be parting from my shoulder/hand until my fake tan turns it a nasty orange color. LOL!

BEST TOP EVER

2010-01-29T14:04:00.000-08:00
