Wish list

A couple of things i am lusting after at the moment that are way out of my price range! I have really loved Simone Camille bags for a while after seeing some celebs with them and i'm on a look out for a high street imitation! They are perfect summer bags with little shorts and t-shirts!
I have been obsessed with Low Luv since i saw Miley Cyrus wearing the double ring the whole range is stunning i want all of it.
The Wildfox love continues as i could see these cute little shorts fitting perfectly into my summer wardrobe! Also All Saints have some really nice stuff in at the moment but again i find it so over priced for what you actually get.

Meadham Kirchoff for Topshop

Untitled by aimeelouise21 featuring sterling silver rings

I really like the collections proabably more than the last one they did! Shame it's still way overpriced for a high street collab. Since the Christopher Kane collection is seems the prices just get higher and higher

Primark Summer 2011

It's becoming more and more obvious to see Primarks runway inspirtations! This Lookbook is by far the best they have produced yet it looks great and makes the clothes looks fantastic quality and very designer. Unfortunatly we all know when you try these garments on in store they will be terrible fit on 90% of the population!

I'm really loving the Jil Sander style striped maxi and the Gucci colour blocking! Also i think Primark have really upped their game when it comes to shoes! I think that overall they have raised their prices alot in most cases too much for the garments but the shoes are great values at the moment! Some really great summer wedge/boot styles that i'm liking

Rodarte for Opening Ceremony

Divine. I have a huge love for Rodarte and the photography for this collection is stunning.

The lovely Cellardoor Magzine has done a post on this also so check them out as there blog is brilliant!

blog.cellardoormagazine.co.uk

I am so behind on blogging at the moment! I'm finishing a Live breif from Tommy Hilfiger designing 30 mens tshirt graphics and 20 womens. Writing an essay about why designer labels are important in todays society and in the middle of a photography and styling project! So while i'm taking a break i thought i would catch up on some posts! Firstly Emma Watson naturally looked perfect at every event she attended in London i really loved what she wore the the Elle Style award as it was very different to what she usually wears! I adore Vivienne Westwood but really! Who doesn't know Harry Potter?!

Golden Globes 2011

I am a sucker for any red carpet event at this time of the year so naturally i stay up until 1am to see all of the dresses live on E! I have to say that i wasn't massively blown away madly in love with any look this year. I really liked Lea Michele in Oscar De La Renta although it was a bit "material girl". I also liked Olivia Wildes Marchesa dress and i adored the Louboutins but i think they should have been silver and not yellow would have probably made her my best dressed. i think that my best dressed of the night was Anne Hathway in Armani Privé as it was such a step away from the "princess" dresses she usually wears it was nice to see a really fashionable sexy risky dress being worn and still looking classy!

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!
xoxo

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!
xoxo

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!
xoxo

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!
xoxo

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

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!

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen collections are always my fav and this was just perfect in everyway i loved all of it and i would love to see it more on the red carpet!

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!
