Eye on the prize...

ebay bidding anyone? FINISHES TODAY! 1980s bodycon dress from Paris.

Celebration for pure excellence

I read an article in the Stylist; my fav freebie about the wonderful and brilliant Grace Coddington (you may remember her from The September Issue) and like everyone I just love her work and I think here you can see why...

Vintage delights.

I am selling an array of items on ebay so grab a bargain while you can - with only a week left to bid!!

Makes you proud to be female!

Ok so without wanting to admit that I have a little too much time on my hands at present...I have been scouring Youtube for fashion videos which led to music videos! I love this VMA 2009 performance by Beyonce. I just love the girl, the OUTFIT, the lyrics, the girlpower, the voice...just love her!

Get up in your room and dance/sing to this...it will def make you happy!

Guess girls.

Ok so I don't really get the Guess brand but that said I have never really given it a proper chance. I believe the closest I have got to a store was when I had to take a photograph of one store for a university project. I often walk past the Regents Street one on my way to work and have got a bit of a girl crush on the Guess girls. Maybe I will enter the store and give it a bit more of a chance after their great photography for their advertisements.

Essentials - Photo of the week #5

While having a bit of a clear out this weekend I found this photo. I believe it was a picture I took for an art project of all my fav things when I was about 15. Quite amusing now in hindsight and way too much pink for my liking as now I am trying to fight the black out of my wardrobe. How things change.

Fashion Inspiration Vs Audrey Obsession

I have decided to share with you my notice board which as you can see is getting a little out of control. Also replacing where's Wally is where's Audrey!! My goodness... I did not notice I had a problem until I spotted five images of the beautiful lady.

Enjoy...

Mary Mary - Photo of the week #4

How I love Mary Kate. Her style is inspirational. I wish I could chuck on a coat and some heels and look this glam. These photos are from an Elle magazine (a few years ago). I loved the shoot so much that it was given pride of place in my scrap box which is where I save all my fav images from magazines. The idea came to me when I was becoming over run with magazines! Just as well really because I think this is style at its best, simple and chic (with the Strabucks cup giving it that Olsen feel.)

H&M Stalking

My love for H&M has always been a little bit of a problem. I was 'innocently' browsing, simply killing some time while I was waiting for the next train and the next thing I know I am in the fitting room with 14 items!! A max of 7 in at a time is always a problem and of course I was really annoying for the sales assistants and only bought one thing...it would have been five but I talked myself out of the other four which only means I will try them all on again next time I am killing time and talk myself out of two more purchases. Nightmare!

Can you really blame me though with highstreet prices and a spring kissed colour palette? I am a huge fan of the brown silky frill top (so much so that I bought it). I am saving the caramel suede cropped trousers with a thick gold zip up the side for a rainy day as they were a little steeper in price at around £100.

The Brits

If you were like me you would have been tuned into the Brit awards last night. I always promise myself not to get sucked in and end up watching the entire show. I was really quite pleased that Tinie Tempah walked away with two awards and I particularly liked the glasses and suit combo that he pulled off. It's good to see he's a snappy dresser too.

90210 overdose

After finishing my internship I had a bit of a lazy weekend which mainly consisted of watching far too much 90210..probably not the best thing to announce on a blog. I have fallen in love with Gillian Zinser aka Ivy who dress sense steps a little more outside the box compared with her co-stars who are dressed head to toe in obvious designer. I decided to hunt the web for outfit inspiration and I am more than impressed with what I found.

Stick In Twos...HOT!

I have always been a NERD fan and while browsing over the internet I decided to look at archived Pharrell shots. Here he is snapped next to Russian model Natasha Polly in Russian Vogue 2008.

Wowsers eh! One hot match!

Last Day of My Internship...TEARS

It was a very sad day yesterday as I finished my time at my internship. In honour of my leaving I decided to write a final blog post about some of the clients I was working with...

Over the last four months I have been working with a variety of clients including Clements Ribeiro, Calvin Klein Underwear, Marchon Eyewear, Etro and TU at Sainsbury’s. Here I have selected some of my favourite pieces for the Spring!

The rain hasn’t stopped me wearing brights and I am hoping with a little bit of luck that these bright Etro harem pants will bring out the sunshine!

Fashion doesn’t have to be about stuffing your wardrobe until it won’t shut (I know we’ve all been there.) To keep it simple I have selected six mix and match items below that should make dressing in the morning a little easier.

TU at Sainsbury’s are brimming with high street favourites this season. My favourite outfit would have been the brown tailored shorts put together with the ruffled sheer blouse but due to my obsession with Audrey Hepburn I decided to fall in love with the black and white dress instead. The dress paired this with the MIchael Kors glasses and Clements Ribeiro wedges gives you a Hepburn look with a modern twist.

Calvin Klein underwear is full of pretty, feminine pieces this season. I have always been a fan of the nude, lace and frilled sets but my favourite of these is the white lace edged camisole with knickers. Pretty pretty!

Welcome to fashionista heaven!!

Photo of the week #3

I know this photo is not at all fashion related but it's a personal favourite. I took this photo on a snow day and instead of hanging around indoors I decided to embrace the cold weather accompanied with a woollen hat and hunter wellies...what else! SNAP!

Photo of the week #2

Everyone needs a little bit of Kate in their lives...

Found via Mario Testino.

Photo of the week #1

I am going to start writing about a favourite photo of the week as a new feature. Some may be old or some may be new. I may use some of my own photos or favourite photographers of mine.

This week I pick this beautiful front cover from Italian Vogue...

Shoes on $ale

Go via this link


Now this is a man who can make shoes!! This is still one of my favourite vids.

Chaussures

I have found way too many pairs of shoes when I opened the wardrobe this morning. In fact one pair fell off my shelf and almost hit me on the head! Death by stiletto is not something I want to read on the Metro as a headline so I have decided enough is enough and that I shall be selling some vintage pairs, designer pairs and highstreet pairs on good old Ebay.

The bottom selection of shoes can all be found (or will shortly be) on Ebay.

I'm BACK!!

I am sorry I have be a little neglectful of the blog but I am returning and back with many vintage items to sell on Ebay!! Watch this space...
