If you are to buy anything for this summer, go and buy one of these. There are great alternatives if this colour doesn't appeal to you. Topshop have a bright red midi skirt, Zara has a dark beige one, but this one from Mango is a little bit special for me. It hits the <a href="http://shop.mango.com/ficha.faces?id=49308579&state=she_006_IN">ballerina trend</a> in one swoop, but at £74.90....it is the most expensive out of the bunch.

Not only were the cakes amazing there was champagne but the best part, was that we also had a catwalk around our table! it was so lovely, a very English afternoon spent with my girls. <br />The collection was stunning, featuring beautiful coral dresses, the most vibrant bright blue and very chic nudes. Amanda did come and have a chat with us, but I think that actually only happened because my sister was reading her brochure at that moment (clearly on purpose). The afternoon was fashion filled and I got to top up my ring collection at the very modest Oxford Street Topshop too! happy girl!<br /><br />So while I have been in Spain, I have not really done a lot in the past week, except take a much needed time out and relaxation. The sun has been shining everyday without fail, so I have also been sunbathing and making the most of the rays. We walked along the beach to Puerto Banus (the very expensive port with the biggest boats I have ever seen in my life, next to the most beautiful designer stores) from Marbella which takes about an hour and a half, but we stopped off for a very cold drink from what can only be described as a tiny bar on the beach front (picture the kind of bar you see in the movies in the sand) so that is about the only exercise I have got since I arrived! Oh well, what are holiday's for.<br />I have also been to the local vintage store, which is slightly out of my price range, featuring the most beautiful vintage Celine/Marc Jacobs/Chloe among some other gems! absolutely wonderful.....if only I could actually buy something.<br /><br />Anyway from Spain, Adios :)Amy Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16121674944588846972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018340077602094178.post-48850822941394217732011-01-27T16:28:00.000+00:002011-01-27T16:28:52.957+00:00February, i'm in love<div style="text-align: justify;">The Cure - not a direct quote but we can change the words right! </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I thought I'd give you a little update......I am off to a very fashionable afternoon tea at The Dorchester in London Town next Wednesday, as Amanda Wakeley is showing her Spring/Summer 2011 collection, not only that she is also table hopping and chatting about personal style! errrrrrm oh gosh, I literally can't wait.....my big sis is coming down from the middle of the map and my flatmate Cha is getting involved in this little outing! very exciting.

I got sent the white version, which I really like and this included inner ear headphones (which I really dislike, I have come to realise) and a charger. The overall look of this is interesting, with very few buttons, it was difficult to work out how to turn the damn thing on, without any instructions to help me work it out...I spent most of the day and evening working it out! It looks too small to be complicated, but it seems it was. The use of white and silver makes it look really stylish and really design focused. There are white lights used on the display so its really in-keeping. The battery power is great, I have had it for around a week and haven't needed to charge it up yet! bonus!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The small design makes it really easy to clip it to your running clothing (although I wont be testing this out as I'm more of a yoga lady) I have walked to work at a fast pace and now in the snow and the clip has not slipped yet! I found the volume control sticks slightly, which is a shame and considering the rest of the product uses buttons, the fact the volume is a touch slide, made it even more confusing. So after much time spent looking like an idiot trying to press the volume button, I worked it out and turned it up! yay.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So overall, the style of the headset is really nice, the sleek design is nice but the volume issues and the sound quality is not perfect....but I think I'm being picky, as it is a tiny little thing, even smaller than your lipgloss! as for sinking it up to your mobile phone...this works and the radio finds all the right stations without taking too long.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have to say though, the best way to use this is if you attach it to your Burberry Mac.....you know keep it stylish to the max!</div>Amy Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16121674944588846972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018340077602094178.post-1038308335453731782010-11-23T16:32:00.002+00:002010-11-23T16:33:50.358+00:00Lanvin loves H&M<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TOvqRWDW5kI/AAAAAAAAAxU/VaaZwuLXvGE/s1600/HM+LANVIN+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TOvqRWDW5kI/AAAAAAAAAxU/VaaZwuLXvGE/s320/HM+LANVIN+3.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I have to say I love H&M too.....but with the site almost crashing at the pressure of online fashion savvy peeps shopping desperately to get there hands on this fashion love child, it was enough to want to stay away for me. With all the items saying (sold out) before you could even click on your size. Its the same every time something great happens with online fashion. Just look at The Outnet with their £1 sale. That put me off for life. With Twitter going mad with complaints and to with stories that people were even trying to shop on the Swedish and German H&M site! which was also crashing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TOvqRjXW0PI/AAAAAAAAAxY/fcrrAuY6IsA/s1600/HM+LANVIN+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TOvqRjXW0PI/AAAAAAAAAxY/fcrrAuY6IsA/s320/HM+LANVIN+4.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Th collection itself looks fantastic, with perfect little on trend dresses for the party season and cute little jackets.....it got me interested lets say.

This time I was looking for a winter coat. Now I like to have a new coat every year because as you wear this coat everyday for around 6 months, by that point everyone needs a change right?<br />So I grew up in the countryside and to me there is one brand that epitomises the country, and that is Barbour. I love the fact that you buy one coat and it lasts over 10 years of your life, it follows you through good times and bad and probably through very muddy time too! The Barbour jacket has never gone out of fashion and always keeps you dry.<br />Now I live in a city but that's Brighton and for those of you who have been there, Winter can be a very, very cold and disappointing time in, as it's by the sea you literally get swept off your feet by the speed of the wind and when it rains....well let's not even talk about it!<br />My family are amazing and my Auntie and Uncle kindly bought me my first EVER Barbour at the weekend. It is the <a href="http://www.barbour.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=products.view&ProductID=18200&FeatureId=15">International Parka</a> in Black and has a little waist that you can cinch in, to create the perfect shape for your body.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TKWlU-DHH0I/AAAAAAAAAwk/X-dPUaZn17w/s1600/Barbour.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TKWlU-DHH0I/AAAAAAAAAwk/X-dPUaZn17w/s320/Barbour.JPG" width="283" /></a></div>I absolutely love it and will be teaming it with my wellies for the yearly back to home bonfire night, in the village I grew up.<br />So a word of advice.....If you want a coat to last you through the dark nights and the wet and windy days, then Barbour is your brand.Amy Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16121674944588846972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018340077602094178.post-24596307923804608362010-09-08T16:14:00.000+01:002010-09-08T16:14:29.074+01:00Un-Fashion Moment<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TIemjceA7KI/AAAAAAAAAwg/L3_disGaysk/s1600/Bora+Aksu+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TIemjceA7KI/AAAAAAAAAwg/L3_disGaysk/s320/Bora+Aksu+1.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I have been struggling to post at the moment and I hate to make excuses..but...I am having a fashion dip, the reason for this would be, that I am moving out of the flat I have shared with my partner for the last year and I am having to go it alone and you know what, fashion just feels like a struggle when you have a million things on your mind. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am however still in the process of finding a dress for my friends wedding next weekend, 18th September to be precise.....which is not going well seeing as all my spare time from now on will be spent packing my worldly goods into cardboard boxes! The thing about weddings is there is such a pressure to get a dress that is individual, that no one else will be wearing, that is not anywhere near to the colour of either the brides dress or the bridesmaids dresses and finding something that YOU actually love. Wow being a woman is so much harder than people think! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now apart from my little cardboard box world, I am also thinking about <a href="http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/catwalkschedule_new.aspx">London Fashion Week</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">as it is fast approaching, next Friday it all starts and with shows including Bora Aksu....oh how I love!, Sass & Bide and PPQ I am a little over excited! I shouldn't forget to mention that obviously <a href="http://newyork.mbfashionweek.com/schedule">New York Fashion Week</a> starts tomorrow and actually I am really liking the New York fashion scene at the moment and generally it seems closer to what I am wearing this season than London fashion. Gotta love New York! </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I will have my low down on here in the coming weeks, so watch out for that.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks my Fashionees x</div>Amy Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16121674944588846972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018340077602094178.post-88169894921129397612010-08-27T12:13:00.000+01:002010-08-27T12:13:54.209+01:00Crop Top<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/THedpyg9IfI/AAAAAAAAAwU/6guCfHIvt-g/s1600/Corded+lace+bralet+crop+top+topshop.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/THedpyg9IfI/AAAAAAAAAwU/6guCfHIvt-g/s320/Corded+lace+bralet+crop+top+topshop.JPG" width="268" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is something so sexy about this little <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=160&viewAllFlag=false&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&categoryId=216497&parent_category_rn=208491&productId=1911628&langId=-1">lacey</a> bad boy from Topshop and I tell you, if I were flatter in the stomach region, I would definitely try to pull this off! it's £16 and has matching panties too.....tres chic!

It's all made to make you look like your draped in gold and that you have paid in gold. The prices match the designs, ultra expensive for high street but oh so beautiful. Like these brown boots by Sam Edelman for Whistles. The leather is so soft they look as though they could be painted on your feet and the suede inner lining...oh the suede, literally died and went to heaven! The wedge heel making them perfect for you commute to work (you know on and off the tube/bus/train/car....not bike...definitely not bike!) That subtle detailing around the top of the heel add the je ne sais quoi.

It's not just the pretty floral maxi dresses and the soft blouses, or the cute sandals. It's Autumn/Winter fashion that makes me tick. The layering, the mixing of textures and fabrics, and the wool, oh the wool!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't get me wrong I love Summer more than you can imagine, but not for the fashion just for the sun and the summer evenings. The Autumn is where it's at for fashion. I absolutely love getting up in the morning and thinking about how to layer up for the day to come. It's so simple to do and so effective to make you feel eclectic and unique. You wouldn't find three different people in a row wearing exactly the same layered tops in the same way, however in the summer you could find your wearing the same maxi dress as the girl in front of you....not only is it embarrassing, it's scary when you have to worry about trying so hard to be different. In Autumn/Winter you don't really have that problem and you get to be you again, the individual, unique and special you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am counting down the summer nights until I can go shopping and buy my winter wardrobe......reading magazines for the September issue is so exciting, seeing each different take on the future fashion and loving every second. I have a little list in my head, which is my wish list of things I really want. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fashion excites me but for all the right reasons, not to be ahead of the fashion pack or to be the most "out there" or the most seen......just to be special in my own fashionable way, to feel amazing in my choices and to make the most out of what I have, that's what fashion is all about, that's what makes me smile!</div>Amy Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16121674944588846972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018340077602094178.post-74235137805692713502010-06-30T17:34:00.000+01:002010-06-30T17:34:27.963+01:00shorty shorts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TCtxi0En4FI/AAAAAAAAAvg/lWpcNrUc_MI/s1600/belted+shorts+topshop.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TCtxi0En4FI/AAAAAAAAAvg/lWpcNrUc_MI/s320/belted+shorts+topshop.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">These cute shorts are from Topshop £35.00, love the <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=59924&parent_category_rn=42317&productId=1790863&langId=-1">belted waist</a>, so Parisian chic.</div>Amy Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16121674944588846972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018340077602094178.post-4238195181388251312010-06-28T14:17:00.000+01:002010-06-28T14:17:59.534+01:00Theory Silk Jumpsuit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TCifR6KrqbI/AAAAAAAAAvc/anK-mwcw9Rg/s1600/Theory+jumpsuit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xIncGEIjz1Y/TCifR6KrqbI/AAAAAAAAAvc/anK-mwcw9Rg/s320/Theory+jumpsuit.JPG" width="117" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This <a href="http://www.matchesfashion.com/fcp/product/Matches-Fashion/ALL-IN-ONES/theory-the-x-rosemarie-a040-all-in-one-GREY/38665">silk jumpsuit</a> by Theory has a very glamorous feel, with the non-invasive colour and the shape with the sash tie waist, you could go from work time chic to night time glamour by just accessorising.
