Ax Paris - Jeffrey Campbell Inspired

2012-06-18T06:54:00.000-07:00

When i first seen these Jeffrey Campbell shoes i went to shoe heaven. I fell head over heels (ha) in love with them and i knew i had to have them.

Jeffrey Campbell Prickly Black Leather £140

They are absolutely beyond beautiful and i NEED them in my life for sure. As soon as i slipped them on my feet it was amazing! They are so easy to walk in even if they do look rather scary ha! Even with the heel missing, once they are on your feet you can't even notice they aren't there. They are very 'GaGa' inspired and are definitely a Key statement.

Yes, they are a little pricey, BUT they are worth every penny as they would be a great investment piece.

However, if your budget can't stretch to that much, have a sneaky look at these inspired collection i came across on AX Paris.

When i was flicking through the internet (browsing as you do, looking at things to add to the wish list ha) i came across these shoes on the website which will be better on your purse and still add a statement to any outfit.

Nitewalk Wedges £44.99

They are available in Black Suede, black with spikes, and red. They are a fraction of the price, but will still make an impact. =]

I adore the style of them and as well as on axparis.com if you google 'nitewalk' shoes a whole heap of colours come up from various sites for various prices (some better than others) including even on Ebay! Make sure to check it out!

Festival Spirit

2012-06-06T05:29:00.000-07:00

The time is upon us to grab our camping gear, wellies, huge shades and any other necessary equipment for the Festival season which is out to kick start.

Whether you are going for the day, or the weekend, camping or staying in a hotel you will need the ultimate festival wear to get you in the mood! =]

Festivals are great and you can always be sure to spot amazing and unique styles that people put together. It's like a haven for fashion designers to get a taste of how people piece together their outfits.

However, know matter what type of festival you are going to there are some key essentials you need to 'survive' and some key trends that you tend to see year after year.

For example, denim shorts, cowboy boots/wellies, huge sunglasses, lots of prints and different fabrics, head accessories like headbands, clips and flowers and a few other things.

Whilst looking on the asos.com i came across their Festival trend section for 2012 and i found some amazingly cute and funky items on there that i would definitely rock at a festival this summer.

Here's some of the things i found. They are full of colours, patterns and affordable prices and are also key pieces that can be worn different ways throughout the year depending on how you dress them up =]

Let me know what you think .... =]

Her latest collection with New Look seems to have evolved and she has now branched out into a collection of clothes, shoes and accessories. They are available now online at www.newlook.com and is a 30 piece collection full of fabulous fashion in an array or colours and prints which will definitely add life to your summer wardrobes.

The collection appears to focus on highlighting your key assets and working them to their full potential, showing off your figure and creating the illusion of one with the use of the 'peplum' dress for example.

The designs of the dresses and bustiers accentuate your breasts if you are larger on top and show off a sexy, tasteful style. The prints are fresh and current and very wearable! The collection as a whole is cute and playful and very on trend.

Here's a couple of examples of pieces from the collection but be sure to check out the full collection online ...

Kelly Brook Frill Neck Playsuit £29.99

This shows off the best of any girls figure clinching in the waist with the belt ( also creates a waist ) and the v neck cut accentuating the breasts give a sexy look to the playsuit which can be worn from day to night!

This brand is HUGE in America. It is fashionable, fun, flirty and best of all it has the best affordable prices suitable for everyone. It has previously only been available on online or in its store in Birmingham Bull Ring. But now we have the added stores in Oxford St and Stratford City in London.

Christian Louboutin Crazy

2012-05-21T01:27:00.001-07:00

I absolutely adore Christian Louboutin shoes. I am yet to own a pair, but they are on my wish lish 10000%! Louboutin shoes are famously known for their red sole bottoms and their sexy style and appearance. They are loved by all and ladies of the celebrity world ADORE them and you can always spot them at events.

They are also known for their sky scraping height which lengthens anyones legs and makes them fabulous. They have recently just launched their new collection and it is a little different from the normal designs they use.

The new collection features chunky block heels as well as their traditional thin heels. (this will surely make them a bit more comfortable to walk in). There are also a lot of prints and colours injected to them and the designs are even more out of this world.

Louboutin shoes will never get old or grow out of fashion as there is such a huge following of them. They are pricey shoes but they are definitely worth the investment.

They have also released a 20th Anniversary range which is very out there, colourful and as usual super sexy and glamourous.

Here are some of the new collection...

These are absolutely fabulous, with a 5.5" wedge and a 2" platform these little beauties should sort of be a breeze to walk in. They are beautifully designed with the appliqued letters around the shoe, a cross over fastening to keep them in place on your feet and of course the killer red soles!

20th Anniversary Isolde 160 Patent Leather Sandals £2.395 ( net-a-porter.com )

These are amazingly beautiful! And as part of the 20th Anniversary collection you can see why. With a 6.5" heel and a 2.5" platform you can see that you will need to be a pro to walk in these. The detail is fabulous, with the studded details it gives them a fierce, sexy appearance! I would LOVE to invest in these! ( i need to win the lottery first though! ha ) But a girl can dream can't she? ...

Louis Woman Swarovski Crystal Leather High Top Sneakers £1.395 ( net-a-porter.com )

These are just too much! I adore them! Who says your feet can't sparkle and be killer in flats? Trainers have never been so god damn sexy! These look like they would be heaven on your feet and definitely be the statement piece to an outfit.

Summerissima 140 Python & Leather Sandals £735 ( net-a-porter.com )

The colours of these are gorgeous, from the tan to the black and white and of course the signature red bottom soles. They have a 5.5" heel and a 1.5" platform and are perfection! They are of course very summery and would also be the statement piece to any outfit! Check out the chunky heel style too!

Me & My Midi Dress

2012-05-20T12:15:00.000-07:00

The other day i blogged about the ASOS Rocco print midi length dress i had ordered for a night out, which had been seen on Jessie J and i said i would update you all on how it actually looked as i was unsure about the length on me as i am only little.

So here it is ... =]

As you can it doesn't look bad like i thought it would ( well i don't think it does lol ) and wearing high heels definitely make it complete and add length to my legs. =]

2012-05-18T09:01:00.002-07:00

Beach Season - Swimwear

2012-05-17T04:37:00.001-07:00

Although the weather right now at home (UK) isn't any good, or really ever is, you always have holidays to look forward too. And this means one thing, SHOPPING!! for all things summery.

And a key investment piece will always be swimwear. Whether you like relaxing around the pool or going to the beach and soaking up the sunshine before going for a splash in the sea, it is an essential holiday must!

Over the years one-piece swimsuits have got increasingly more stylish, sexy, feminine and glamourous meaning you can wear them for their use, sunbathing and splashing in the sea or you can even dress one up and rock into the night and early mornings hitting the clubs.

Swimsuits or one-pieces are becomingly increasingly popular and there are a lot of amazing styles, patterns, prints and colours out there. They are also very good at flattering the figure and some even include secret support if you aren't as body confident as others.

Here a few that i have come across online...

Pink Palm Print Swimsuit £30 ( riverisland.com )

This is very cute with the pastel colouring and the image print - key trends for this summer. Perfect for your holidays and can be worn as a swimsuit and switched to hitting the clubs teamed with denim hotpants, shades and sandals. Also great for beach parties.

Kaleidoscope Swimsuit £34 ( topshop.com )

Holidaying in Ibiza? Marbella? Then i think this swimsuit is amazaballs for those daytime beach and pool parties. You will look classy, stylish, sexy and glamorous all in one! Rocked with sandals, big shades and a cocktail in your hands = perfect outfit!

Black Vintage 1 Piece £32 ( missselfridge.com )

If you are wanting to be sexy but still keep it 'traditional' this is perfect. It is very figure flattering and will give you a shape if you don't have one and show off your curves if you have them. It will be very supporting for girls with bigger breasts too. =]

Palm Print Swimsuit £30 ( asos.com )

This is vibrant and colourful and will look great whilst sat soaking up the sun or lounging around the pool waiting to hit the clubs on the night. During day wear big sunglasses and jewelled sandals/flip flops and then rock it into the night time with denim hotpants and gladiator sandals.

These are just a few ideas but there are lots out there to choose from you just need to take a look .. =]

Dior Lipgloss - Kissable Lips

2012-05-17T01:54:00.000-07:00

If like me, you love having luxurious lips then you need Dior Lipgloss in your life. I had never tried any Dior make up before but obsession soon began once i tried the lipgloss. It went on to eyeshadows, bronzers and more!

Diors Addict Ultra-Gloss is amazing and i love how nice it feels on your lips. Its shiny and sparkly and gives a great effect.

The prices vary from £18 - £28 depending on the shade and type. (some don't have the sparkles in them) They have a whole load of shades (about 35) to choose from so you are bound to find one that suits your complexion perfectly.

These are just a few of the shades...

Out of these i have tried 686 Outrageous Fuchsia which was the Number 1 best seller at the time and that shows how popular it was (a lot of the time it was sold out!) - I have also tried the 556 Coral Fantasy which is a lovely summery colour.

There are so many to choose from and that is another reason i like them so much. You have such a variety there is a colour to match any outfit, any mood and any season.

Also whilst checking out these beautiful shades have a look at Dior's Addict Lip Maximizer - Collagen active lip gloss.

£22

It is a little miracle worker and boosts volume in your lips for a fuller look instantly and restructures in the long term. It uses a unique blend of hyaluronic and marine-based fillers that smooth, moisturise and leave your lips looking irresistibly plumper.

'Do it like' Jessie J

2012-05-16T06:16:00.003-07:00

Last week whilst doing the usual internet browsing i came across this dress on Asos which i absolutely loved, but being only 5ft5 i didn't think the style would suit me. . .

ASOS Bodycon Dress in Rocco Print £22

[ www.asos.com ]

I think the print is absolutely lovely and bang on trend with the aztec type theme. However, because it is a midi length dress i have always though being shorter, styles like this should be left to those who are taller.

On browsing the site further i discovered that they do this dress in the 'Petite Range' which are specially designed to fit 5ft3 girlies where the patterns are altered to suit the shorter frame.

Because of this, and i have a friends birthday this weekend and nothing to wear, i decided to just order one and see what it looked like. I like everything about it i just thought it was a shame it was a midi length.

Today my parcel arrived, i unwrapped it and tried it on. Yes, i knew it! i LOVED the print and the fit but i was unsure about the length. I asked for more opinions on it from my family and they said i really suited it. And once i added my killer keels it instantly put my outfit in proportion and looked great.

It's a really flattering shape and fabric and shows your body off in the best way possible. I would definitely recommend giving something a go if you are unsure of length etc like me because with a bit heel lengthening it totally transforms the look.

And at £22 it is a bargain in my eyes and can be worn for various things. Either casually or dressed up =]

(as soon as i have a picture of me in it i will update the blog to show you it is always a good idea to buy it and try it on with heels as you can always return it if it is no good)

This is Jessie J wearing this EXACT dress on BBC1 The Voice UK

I think she looks stunning in this dress, and once i seen her rocking it on here i knew i had to give it a go because i'd seen it previously. I think it's great when 'celebrities' wear something anyone could get their hands on and none of this designer stuff all the time =]

Chanel Eye-Make Up

2012-05-12T11:23:00.001-07:00

I haven't used a lot of Chanel make up but i have received a couple of items as gifts. I have two of the six illusion D'ombre de Chanel eye shadows.

I have worn them quite a few times and i love how they feel on your eyes. They have a really light, silky texture to them. You can apply as many layers as you like depending on how dark and heavy you want the colour to be. They are very versatile and they create an amazing look.

They come with a little compact applicator brush in the box which is very handy and it makes the application process very easy ( you can also use your finger if you want to apply more to certain areas of you eye lid).

They are £22.50 and you can get them from Debenhams =]

I have the 'illusoire' and 'Emervielle' and i love the colours. It creates a great look, the illusoire creates a great smokey eyed effect and the Emervielle creates a lovely day or evening look.

2012-05-12T10:55:00.003-07:00

Clinique Products That Are A MUST Buy =]

2012-04-13T07:53:00.002-07:00

For a while now i've used Clinique products and because i have sensitive skin i was at first a bit weary about trying out the products as i have always used Simple products prior to this. But i fancied a change and was recommended this particular brand and i have to say i love their stuff.

As well as sensitive skin, i also suffer from quite oily skin especially around the T-zone area and so i have looked high and low for products which would help control this. The products i have found actually work surprisingly good and it reduces the appearance of shine and oil on your skin.

Although the products may be a bit pricier than others available out there, they are worth every penny and do last a surprisingly long time ( so you definitely get your moneys worth ).

If you were to go to a Clinique counter it is advisable to speak to someone that works on it as it is their job to point you in the right direction of the products which would best suit your skin type. They may ask a few questions about your usual daily routine and what products you have used in the past to get a better idea of what would suit you best. They are very helpful and will give you great advice.

Clinique suggest an easy 3 step skin care guide to use daily. ( they suggest the best one to suit your skin type ) The first step is to wash your face with either a liquid or bar of facial soap to remove any dirt. The next step is to use a clarifying lotion and the last step is to use a moisturiser. =]

As i said i suffer from oily skin ( especially around the T- zone area ) and so i was told of these products to help me.

Step 1 - Liquid Facial Soap for all Skin Types £14 ( clinique.co.uk )

Step 2 - Clarifying Lotion 3 for Oily Skin £15 - £24 ( clinique.co.uk )

Step 3 - Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel for Oily Skin £16.50 - £29 ( clinique.co.uk )

The above products all help with oily skin and i have used these products for a while and i can definitely see a difference in the shine on my face. Because of the extra oil in my skin, it is suggested that i use the moisturising gel and not the lotion as the lotion would only add more to the skin and pores, where as the gel helps reduce it.

I have also recently been introduced to this little product. . .

Pore Refining Solution - Instant Perfector £18 ( clinique.co.uk )

This product helps to reduce the size of pores and lasts up to 8 hours reducing humidity and sweat to the face. I use it just on the nose area where it gets shiny and has excess oil and i have noticed that it does reduce the shine and feels great and soft on your skin.

I would definitely recommend the above products and more as i have found they do work on my sensitive skin and i have had no complaints about the products. =]

Working Those Abbs - Crop Top Time!

2012-04-09T03:10:00.001-07:00

The fine weather is slowly making it's way to us, and this gives us the perfect excuse to go out shopping for a new summer wardrobe. No doubt, a lot of people will have been working out hard from christmas, or at least had that intention.

This means that with the latest trend of ' crop tops ' you will be able to show off your hard work with your toned abbs. However, don't just think they are for those toned girls , because it is just as easy to rock a crop top without having perfectly toned body.

A cool way to wear a crop top if you don't want everything on show is to wear it over the top of a tee shirt or long vest top. It still makes a great look and it means you are comfortable with what you are wearing, by still rocking this trend.

Crop tops can be teamed with many things, such as jeans, leggings and high waisted shorts or skirts. It's not just about showing as much flesh as possible, you can rock the look in a sophisticated way with out looking too OTT.

Try experimenting with different looks to see which you best feel comfortable in and which best suits your style and shape. I've had a look online and found a great and wide selection of crop tops out there, here's just a few that caught my eye. . .

Pink Leopard & Chain Print Crop Top £15 ( riverisland.com )

This showcases a very on trend print with the chains. It's cute and girly and would look great with a pair of leggings or high waisted skirt and some killer heels.

Gold Stud Crop Tee £22 ( topshop.com )

i LOVE this and it is very 'Versace' style with the studding detailing. It would look cute with leggings for a day time look, or teamed with a skirt for an evening look with some sky scraping heels!

Shatter Print Bra Top £22 ( missselfridge.com )

This is a cute print, and would look good worn with a skirt ( skater type would also work ) and some heels. It could be worn during the day or night, teamed with a leather jacket for a day look and simply removed to wear into the late hours. ( this top also comes in a range of colours and varied prices )

Grace Floral & Paisley Denim Bralet £12 ( boohoo.com )

This is girly and looks great teamed with shorts. Perfect for the summer time. Is a great affordable price especially if you're shopping on a budget.

As well as bralet and fitted crop tops, you can also wear this trend with loose fitting crop tees and there are so many out there for to choose from.

Mint Green Twisted Neck Crop Tee £9.99 ( newlook.com )

This comes in various colours, and is great if you don't want a fitted crop look.

These are just some that i came across whilst searching the internet, there are many more when you shop around.

My Top 5 Designer Sunglasses

2012-04-05T10:14:00.000-07:00

Spring is officially here, which means Summer is only just around the corner. Although the weather has been up and down, it is clear to see the Sun is finally making an appearance throughout the days. With this said, it is time to raid your cupboards and bring out the sunnies! =P

However, it also means shopping for new trends and colours to make your sunglasses eye catching and stand out from the crowd. When buying sunglasses, you have to be very sure that the style suits the shape of your face, otherwise it could all go drastically wrong.

You can find the right shape for your face in my guide which will be posted soon, but in the meantime i've searched the internet for styles that have caught my eye. Firstly, i'm showing you my Top 5 designer brands which i adore and will be investing in! Remember, sunglasses may alter their style each year, or change their colour etc BUT bringing out the shades you bought in previous years is also a great way to vamp up any outfit, as they become 'vintage' as such and make you stand out in the crowd.

If you are investing in a pair of designer shades, then be wise with what you choose and look out for classic styles which can be worn year after year ( this way you will definitely get your moneys worth ).

My Top 5

Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer Sunglasses £140.00 ( asos.com )

available in Black as well as these Light Havana

Ray-Bans are increasingly popular shades each year, and are seen on a whole range of Celebrities including Tinie Tempah. These are the traditional style and can be worn each year, and still be on trend. I LOVE the print of these ones, but if you aren't a fan of the print these are also available in black and a whole host of other colours from different retailers.

Medium Square Framed Sunglasses with Heart Shaped Inter-locking G Logo £175

( gucci.com )

[ grey/black also available in burgundy and brown ]

i LOVE this style of sunglasses, and the range of colours are sophisticated and can be worn with any outfit. They are a real show stopping piece of eye - candy, simple but sophisticated. =] i like the heart shaped logo, it makes the frame cute and girly.

Chanel 5177 sunglasses £140 ( www.pretavoir.co.uk/chanel )

i like the unusual mix of these glasses, the dark on the top with the light bottom. They are very simple, but are very on trend and could be worn with any outfit. They have a simple 'Chanel' logo on the side which is a very cute detail.

D- Shape Prada Acetate Sunglasses £185 ( net-a-porter.com )

These sunglasses are so colourful and make a great summer accessory. The colour is very on trend, orange, which is eye catching and mixed with the black and white they look very sophisticated. The style is quirky and very wearable. Styles like this have been seen all over the Fashion catwalks, obviously including Prada's itself. =]

D&G Violet 6077 Sunglasses £129 ( sunglasses-shop.co.uk )

i ADORE these, the colour, the shape, the style, everything about them is amazing. They are so on trend with the violet colouring and the simple D&G logo on the side is very pretty. =] I am definitely investing in this pair of shades. And for such an elegant pair, they are not badly priced.

This is just highlighting the designer shades that i love and have found. Remember the internet has a vast amount of sites showcasing a whole load of sunglasses, all you have to do is look around.

Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday Roman Reloaded ...

2012-04-02T11:03:00.002-07:00

So, on Saturday there was an unexpected arrival at my door, when my new Nicki Minaj album happens to grace the carpet through the mail box. And i have never been more excited about a delivery. =D

I HAD to listen to it right away, it was an absolute must! And i have to say, i listened to it from the beginning to the end and i absolutely ADORED the whole album.

This one is different from the last and i think she has come back with a brand new style and flow. She of course still does her commonly known rapping verses in some of the songs, but the beats have a lot more dance feeling.

It's like she's took a whole new direction with the album, and i personally think it's worked fabulously. It definitely shows that she has grown as an artist since her last one. And it shows promise of many more amazing things to come =]

On this album she has collaborated with some major names including Chris Brown, Rick Ross, of course Lil Wayne and also Beenie Man, which is personally one of my favourite songs on the album.

It has a whole new vibe to it, compared to the last and the beats of the songs are so catchy you'll fall in love with them straight away. =] i haven't been able to stop listening to it since i got it. It is now my new workout album in the gym ha

I recommend you get your copy ASAP as it shows a great musical, and diverse, raw talent!

All i can say is roll on June baby! ;)

Lipsy V.I.P. New Collection

2012-03-27T11:42:00.000-07:00

Following the great success of Pixie Lott's collection for Lipsy V.I.P. , Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh has just launched her exclusive collection for them, and if they are anything like Pixie Lott's collection it is bound to be an absolute sellout. Judging by the photos of the new collection it is set to follow the high standards previously set.

The dresses vary from Prom style to Maxi dresses and are beautifully created right down to the last detail. Each dress features amazing finishes and colours. There is definitely a dress to suit you in the collection, as it boasts 17 amazing dresses.

The range show off the style Millie Mackintosh is known for and she models them perfectly. As it is part of the V.I.P. range they have been given that extra bit of care and attention, and it's not surprising it comes at bit of a price.

The price ranges from £90 to £130 but they are definitely investment pieces and can be worn over and over again, changing up the accessories to alter the look of the outfit.

I must also say Millie Mackintosh looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL modelling these dresses. =] Her legs go on for miles.

Check out the pictures below for an example of what there is to offer and check out ;
