christmas

I am so in love with this Burberry coat made for Emma Watson i love the idea of taking something traditional and making it more modern and edgy! This look could be easily recreated with a cheap mac and alot of time spent putting studs on it!
I'm always using polyvore to play around but atm it won't let me copy and paste the coded images into my blog! So i have to make do with this tiny picture! Does anyone else get a "christmas" outfit they wear on the day and plan before hand?

Lanvin for H&M





After having a good look at this collection i can safely say i am underwhelmed! I think there was some nice pieces like the tulle puffy skirted dress and some nice tshirts but overall i think it is way over priced! Yes i get it, it's very cheap compared to actual Lanvin but i think £99 for a dress from H&M is not something i will be doing mabye it's just because i don't LOVE the clothes. I think if i had the chance i would possibly pick up one of the tshirts which are my fav things or the sunglasses/lipsticks

Miley Cyrus

(click to see bigger!)

I don't know if it down to her or her stylist but i am loving Miley's wardrobe at the moment! I've always had a soft spot for her but i think she looks even more young and trendy now she has gotten rid of her hair extensions! I love the mid length cut it really suits her and makes her look alot older. She has been sporting super cute rocky/boho outfits with Alexander Wang amazing shoes or some Topshop clogs which are to die for! I just die over her oversized vest/tees/cardis/jumpers that i want to go out and buy everything she wears!

Rebecca Taylor

I really liked this collection although it was quite similar to the Charlotte Ronson in my opinion but a little more "fashion". I think the reason i like it is my love of maxi's again i hope it isn't clouding my judgment! I love the pretty chiffon fabric's against the thick knitted jumpers or against the thick maxi skirts theres something very pretty about it even though i shouldn't work!

Charlotte Ronson

I had never taken much interest in Charlotte Ronson and branded her as a "famous" ish designer who was rubbish even though i'd never really saw anything by her! Terrible i know. However i really like this collection, every piece is so wearable! I have a thing for maxi dresses in winter so i loved the styling of this show teaming maxi's with hats and chunky knits!
xoxo

Zac Posen

I thought this show was so cute! It was fun and young and actually reminded me alot of Betsey Johnson shows! I love to see pretty dresses and cute florals but the collection still had an edge to it because of how it was styled and everything was teamed with tough shoe boots. I don't really like the make up it was kind of child in mams make up bag but it kind of worked with the styling. I was great to see Crystal Renn in this show, she has lost some weight but it definatly not under a uk size 12 and that still makes her plus sized next to all of those size 0!

Victoria Beckham



I had a look at this collection out of interest because i'm constantly seeing it on everybody in magazines! However i have to say i am not verty impressed, i really don't like the styling of the show. The girls look like there about to fall over and die at any second! I also wasn't blown away by the models that were chosen i didn't think any of them really showed the collection of well to the people that wear the dresses! They should have had sexier bouncey haired girls not young skinny models, I also would have liked to have seen a different gown instead of the same one in black and white! I'm interested to see some celebrities in them because i think that they will look lovely.

Carey Mulligan


Carey Mulligan was on the red carpet for her new film the other day wear a Christopher Kane Resort 2011 dress. The dress was the final look of the collection although it looks a little different in the lookbook! Thats because alot of the dresses from this collection had zips around the skirts so that alot dresses could be made short and short dresses into long ones! I think it's a brilliant idea and she yound british actress it's great to see Carey supporting birtish designers!

VMA's 2010





Usually a VMA's are the chance to see young Hollywood in fab young fashionable edgy looks! I was very disapointed with what people were wearing this year theres no ohhh thats amazing or omg thats hideous looks it's all middle of the road type dresses! The only stand out dress for me was Lady Gaga in Alexander McQueen, I adore anything McQueen so it was pretty much a no brainer for me! The dress is amazing and i think very understated for Lady Gaga if it was paired with some black heels instead of THE McQueen shoes it would have been a very presentable look!
I really liked Selena Gomez in a Reem Acra dress just because it's exactly what i've wanted to see her in for ages something that makes a statement and that is more grown up! I think she looks beautiful. Ashley Greene wore a Giambattista Valli mini which was nice but it would have been nice to see her with a smile on her face! Your at the VMA's be happy! I love Taylor Swift i think she's lovely and classy but i wish she would step outside the box for once she always looks like she's going to the Oscars! She a mega star singer she can wear anything she wants! She went for a D+G strapless nude coloured prom dress which was a snooze.
Emma Stone wore a really cute Pucci leather look mini dress (finally someone looking abit edgey!) but i don't think she had the attitude to work it she looked a little shy and awkward. Katy Perry wore a Marchesa mini which was flesh toned netting with a black design covering her lady parts, the bottom half of the dress is then a totally different puffy white design! I feel like Katy can work alot of looks so this dress looks good although it reminds me alot of the nude dress she wore earlier this year that was covered in crystals and that was way sexier and cooler than this Marchesa which seems confused as to what kind of dress it wants to be!

Biba!








Here are some images from the new Biba Lookbook for the line at House of Fraser! I really like some of it although it is very over priced. Biba never used to be expensive it was affordable for everyone which was why it was so popular but i see that they want to make it a luxury brand. I really like the Flower printed long sleeved dress which is very 60's! I also really like the leopard coat but i could get a fur leopard coat anywhere so to me it's not really that exciting. However i really like the idea of doing jewelery and bags! Biba relaunches on the 9th of September at House of Fraser!

Knitwear

Knitwear

I'm so in love with jumpers and cardigans it's ridiculous. I get so excited about knitwear i think it can totally change your outfit in a second at the moment i'm constantly wearing a black H! by Henry Holland oversized cardigan which is covered in holes and delicate bits of wool. However my bracelets keep catching on the holes and clicking it! I really would love a maxi cardigan i think it would look so cute with leggings, oversized tshirt and boots! Theres something about winter clothes that does it for me in a way that summer wardrobes don't! Although ironically i now look forward to wearing my denim shorts with thick tights!

Borrow and Return?


I read a great article in Look magazine today and websites that hire out designer clothes, shoes and hangbags! (I don't know why i have never checked it out before as i had heard about it) I quickly got online to have a look and soon became far to excited by the whole idea of it! The best website i came across was www.girlmeetsdress.co.uk they offer a huge collection of designer dresses and some handbags. It's such a brilliant idea if you want something wow for your christmas party or for a wedding as you can sometimes spend up to £200 once you have put your high street outfit together! So why not jump online and order a fab Marc Jacobs dress? I soon discovered that websites like this would be far to dangerous and addictive! I started ohhing and ahhhing over the dresses they had on offer and start saying to myself "oh only £289 for this Christopher Kane dress for 2 nights". Which is wheni realise i need to step away!
So i checked out www.fashionhire.co.uk which has a great selection of bags if they had an Alexa in stock i may have been tempted to give it a try however theres a waiting list for most of the popular bags and styles!
Have a look at these sites and see what you think! If anyone has any other good hiring sites let me know!

2010 Emmy Awards!









I totally forgot about the Emmy Awards that the other night i just stumble upon the red carpet on E! I taped it so i could watch it the next day and there was some really nice outfits! My fav being Anna Paquin in Alexander McQueen i love how she always takes risks with her clothes! It nices to see some different designs on the red carpet and not just strapless gowns.
My next favourites were Lea Michele in Oscar De La Renta i really like the navy blue colour although the strapless design is abit samey the ruffles make it abit more exciting. Dianna Agron from Glee wore Carolina Herrera which was stunning! She always wears quite vintage looking dresses which is refreshing to see! I Also loved Vampire Diaries Nina Dobrev in Zuhair Murad she may be one of my new fav red carpet dressers!

Style Crush - Lea Michele




Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1


It's nearly that time of year again already, for me it couldn't come soon enough. Yes it's Harry Potter time, i try to concentrate on fashion while blogging but i always need somewhere to put my Harry Potter nonsense!
I feel so excited now after reading the reviews on Mugglenet from the first viewing of the unfinished Deathly Hallows part 1 and wow could it but true that FINALLY hp fans can be truley satisfied? According to them yes! They say this film stays true to the book like never before and that a hp has never satsfied them like this since Chamber of Secrets!
After seeing Half Blood Prince i didn't have high hopes for this film as i felt it lacked in story and went for cheap laughs when they should have been evolving the story into the serious story it is! I hope that these two films show Harry Potter for what it is!

Pixie Cut!


I just adore Emma Watson as readers of my blog will know! I was very shocked to pick up Entertainment Weekley and see a photo of her with fab cropped hair! I was unsure at first but now i love it! It totally suits her image she always looks so classy and lovely!
xoxo

Burberry Make Up




I had noticed this Burberry Makeup campaign pop up in my glossy mags i while ago now but i didn't realise that it was available to buy already! I always love Burberry's campaigns there so british and young although i have to admit i am missing Emma Watson in the recent ones!
I would have loved to have seen Emma in these shoots and can't wait to see her in them with her new pixie cut! However i think that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks a dream in the adverts!

Daisy Lowe the face of Biba!


According to Vogue.co.uk Daisy Lowe as been chosen as the new face of Biba's autumn/winter 2010 collection. The brand is about to be relaunched and will be sold in House of Fraiser

"It was a huge honour to be asked, I've been a fan of the brand since I was very
Young," says Lowe. "When I started my modelling career, and when I first started to understand clothes, Biba was one of the first names that cropped up. I've always really loved Biba so when I was asked to be part of the campaign I was just ecstatic."

I'm quite excited about this as i just adored the Barbara Hulanicki for Topshop collection! Although i can take or leave Daisy Lowe i do think she will be brilliant for this collection as she has a very vintage look plus she is a normal sized girl which is fab!
