Just For Fun

Have a look at the Vera Wang Princess site, i'm not a fan of the perfume itself but the 'begin your reign' is fun and has pretty pictures! Wow, I sound like such a three year-old.

Christopher Kane at LFW




I've just been redaing some blogs on Handbag of people who have been to the shows. A few names were mentioned, so I did some research on the ultimate fashion website-Style.
Christopher Kane was one of them. He's a new designer who, with his sister Tammy, deisgned his first collection. Fluorescent, vibrant, 80's style. Here are some of his amazing outfits. Not necessarily beautiful, but striking and fresh.
The red has a real vixen feel to it, it's got a contrasting, big pink zip running right down the front middle and it looks like something Christina Aguilera might wear, in her new Flapper girl style phase.

The pink just reminds me so much of that corset dress that Madonna wore ( I saw it at the Fashion DNA in Amsterdam!) before she had kids and heard the words 'You're embarrassing me MOMMY!!'.
Moving on, I love the striking blue, if a Peacock was a person, that's exactly what they'd look like. Except the guy peacocks get all the pretty feathers.

REMINDER: LONDON FASHION WEEK


It's coming. And I'm going to miss it. 'Next year, Kiki' my mum said. Well anyway, i'm kind enough to tell you lucky bitches that IT'S on from Monday 18th september to Friday the 22nd.

Click here for show schedule.

The venue is the Natural History Museum, tickets are cheap, I think around £10.

New York Fashion Week

Just come back from Brighton. I haven't forgotten those leopard-print peep-toe flats I saw in River Island. SO cool! AArgh-but only in size 4!!! Anyway they were £25 and as soon as I find a picture, I'll show you. The website doesn't seem to have any pictures.
Anyway I also bought a pink bra for only £3. God I love bargains. What I didn't realise was I was trying it on in the men's changing rooms without realising! Anyway. So what am I loving right now?
Well, handbag is a website you should see. It's got everything. Fashion, Beauty, Hair, Celebrity Gossip, Fitness etc. You can even sign up for a free newsletter and you can choose what they email you about. And it's updated daily. I really like looking at the fashion pages.

Here are a few things I LOVED when I saw pictures from the New York fashion week.



I Love this red Zac posen dress. not only does it have bow, but it's made out of gorgeous looking material. I bet the dress floats right over your body.





















I'm sure I've seen this somewhere before. No, I haven't it just looks a little like the pastel ruffle dresses from Alexander Mcqueen's Autumn/Winter 2006/07 collection I posted about before. Anyway. It's short, sweet and a heavenly white. I could just imagine bridesamaids at a weddingcatwaling down the aisle wearing this. Marchesa.





















If you live in America, you don't have Topshop, and for that I am truly sorry. You don't know what you're missing out on. Actually you probably do. But I heard a rumour tht Topshop is scoming to you. Anyway, this dress is not Topshop, but it's Temperley. It reminds me of a dress in Topshop I was almost going to try on for fun because it looked so cute. I LOVE the blouse and dress combo.





















Derek Lam has officially changed the LBD. No longer 'Little' but LONG. Stunning.

You'd Be Crazy Not To Want A Trench!


I'm not going to be boring and rave on for pages about trenchcoats. But I want one. Just like this.

Day Trip To Lewes

Today I woke up thinking, 'I really can't go to town again' . I'm not joking when I say that my local town is so dull, you can literally count the number of good clothes shops on just one hand. Me and my friend Caroline had arranged to do something today, so what about the cinema? Hmm. Maybe not. The only thing showing was 'Monster House', 'You, Me And Dupree' and 'Driving Lessons'. Did I tell you how uninspiring my town is?
So to cut to the chase, like they always do in movies, me and Caroline ended up going to Lewes. That's a small, cute town with even fewer good shops than here but it was cute and had alot of cafe's. We spent the day browsing the shops, walking the high street, eating in an unusual cafe above the riverside. But-we also went to this Flea Market where I fell in love with thisbeautiful wardrobe with three full-length mirrors. I love going to place where they've got alot of old things. so anyway, it may never be mine, but I can try and show my mum...early christmas present???

It was a good day. We just caught our train back which was lucky!

And, my friend Caroline had a top she was given and didn't want. She gave it to me! i'm wearing it right now, it's so adorable! Red and white striped and sailor chic-I love it!

This Might Become A Regular Thing

Okay, you might be seeing even more of my random bloggy thoughts on here. Basically, this blog is now about me, about fashion, and about anything else I can think of which is worth writing about. That doesn't mean that I'm stopping with the fashion theme-it's just going to be a combination.

Explanation over.

It's true, pictures say alot more than words

No Harm In Dreaming!




(Look away now if you hate it that you can't afford designer clothes)

I'm on net-a-porter, it's the best website to admire designer things.

Here are some of my favourite picks-

I love these Alexander Mcqueen shoes, they'd look great with city-shorts and this season's colour-grey! No price shown yet.

I love the old, worn look. They would look great with this white scoop neck dress from DVF-£198!

To eep you warm and to keep in touch with this season's trend (even though that sounds incredibly fashion sheepy), wear this Chloe cropped and fitted black jacket. Love the buttons! £1021.

I would add a bag but I need to go and do my Art coursework.


Oh alright then.



How pretty is this embroidered flap bag from Valentino???? It's in the sale for £680.40. Don't waer it with the jacket though.

It's so peacocky!

The Grand total of this major spree is.... £1219+ (not including the Mcqueens) God, I do love those shoes.

Hello, America

My mum's hoping, fingers crossed, to take me and my sister to America during Summer 2007.
I can't tell you how long I've been wanting to go again, I last went when I was four, which is great because I can't remember that much. Anyway, she has friends in Washington and California, and would really like to take us to see both. 'California, here we cooooooooooome' (I love The O.C!)
It would be a big fam holiday before I might start doing my own thing. It's my dream to swim with dolphins so I was wondering, does anyone know any places in Encinintas, California? And anything that I MUST SEE, or any MUST SHOP places, if I do luckily get to go to Washington and Encinitas, California? Thanks a lot!

Back To School. Haven't Heard That Before.

So I have everything this year for school. The usual white blouses, fitting black Topshop trousers (thank you Topshop-they look great!), my navy-blue school sweatshirt, when I put it on I feel like I'm drowning-so baggy! Then I amazingly found some shoes that fitted! Over here thye have some weird thing that you can only buy shoes in whole sizes in most shops. Well, I'm a six and a half but luckily found some black ballet flats that were a 6 and fit! And I also found a tote, from New Look for only £10-it's a wine red with a brassy buckle-I like it's simpleness. So, that's me for school.
And incase you were wondering, our school doesn't do MUFTI (wear your own clothes day) anymore cos you get these HUGE fights between goths/emos and chavs.
