another find.

Whilst i was online shopping (again) I came across this dress by Forever Unique.
Except for a couple of minor adjustments this £150 style and colour is almost identical to the £2,075 Stella McCartney number. Which is a better deal? You do the math.

body ink.

So, My friend has decided shes getting a tattoo across her foot and after designing it between us we decided to go with a lovely flower design [:
The thing is, I've always wanted a tattoo but i've never quite known what to get, I wish i could decide!
I'd either get one on my wrist, ankle or the back of my neck. I love the idea of little stars and swallows but i think i want my tattoo to have relevance to it, like a story behind why i had it done. I think i'll wait until something relevant happens ahah.
Although, i am in LOVE with the tattoos created for Chanel's s/s 2010 collection!







Cover my body in this any day!

booting it up.

I'm such a sucker for lace up heeled boots.
I already have two pairs yet ASOS.com do such a beautiful collection. I think i will add to my collection with the 2nd pair down... or the 4th pair. I'm not sure. Either way i'm getting my self some beautiful summer boots ^_^



Marchesa.

Simply beautiful.

if i could do prom again and i won the lottery or my parents struck oil, i would have to Marchesa.


i would post up a selection of photographs but narrowing these gowns down to a selective few is practically impossible.

tumbling into the land of make believe...

In celebration of Tim Burton's movie Alice In Wonderland, award-winning jewelry designer Tom Binns created a bespoke collection inspired by Lewis Carrol's characters.
Tom first played with Disney characters when, in protest against the Iraq war; he created the Amo collection, Pairing Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse with bombs and grenades, much to Disney's displeasure.
Tom has created a small Disney signature collection, and a larger, more affordable Disney Couture range.



Tom Binns for Disney Couture - more affordable range

Tom Binn's Disney Signature Collection - smashing time
(i love how this one is made out of smashed pieces of tea cups :'))

Tom Binns' Disney Signature collection.
Tom Binns' Disney signature collection - All Hearts.

both collections are available at Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Dover Street Market. The Disney Couture range is also available at asos.com. I love it!

oh, hello beautiful.

In celebration of Barbie's 50th birthday Fiat 500 created this one of a kind custom made Fiat 500. Compact with crystals, glitter, fluffy mats, girly accessories and pink galore - lucky Barbie!





Anyone that knows me well knows this is the car of my dreams :') unfortunately, there is more chance pigs will fly then me getting this car.

Because i'm not the only one that thinks this car is beautiful Fiat have created a limited edition Fiat 500 PINK.


Even though my friends have told me they will refuse to get in it, I want one :')

Oh, And i know this isn't fashion blogging but i just had to write a post about my love for this car. i think me and that car would make a perfect match aha.

drape me in pastel.




pastels, pastels, pastels... one of this seasons hottest trends. fronted by Burberry Prorsum's summer 2010 collection, pastels have become edgy yet delicate, pretty yet dynamic. statement pieces in candy-floss colours have grazed the catwalks of Christopher Kane, Valentino, YSL, Versace and Victor and Rolf. beautiful tones of purple, beige, grey, yellow, blue, etc etc. these shugary shades not only ooze romance but juxtapose a delicate palette with thigh-high cuts and provocative splits. a perfect look for summer? i think so.

its all good and well to look to Burberry Prorsum for this season's hottest trend, but lets face it, to afford this specific collection you would need a small fortune. After plenty of research i think i have found a few key pieces from the high-street and online that would make even Christopher Bailey look twice. enjoy!

like a child dreams...

Am i the only person that thinks about their future wedding? probably not but the thing is i'm not thinking about my husband, i'm thinking about what i will wear. i have it sorted. if i walk down the aisle wearing these then i will be the happiest bride in the world. i would just need a wealthy man to buy me them first ;)



beautiful Christian Louboutin shoes.

a Vera Wang gown...


now this is major wishful thinking.

Barbie meets Christian Louboutin

i know i should be well over Barbies at my age but these limited edition Christian Louboutin Barbies are beautiful. designed by the genius himself these £100 dolls are a work of art!



if only my feet were the size of a drawing pin... wishful thinking.

Lauren Greenfield - Girl Culture.

after studying the work of Lauren Greenfield during my first year of college i became specifically fascinated by Girl Culture. Girl Culture is made up of a series of award-winning photographs that show an in depth insight into the private rituals and social lives of young American girls. the photographs are revealing, insightful and sometimes disturbing, they provide a window into the secret worlds of self-obsessed, lonely, emotionally-confused girls in their attempts to "fit in".
the book contains not only extraordinary photographs but interviews and diary extracts from the girls. these gripping extracts not only add a more personal element to the photographs but they add an element of emotion and sadness that these young girls reveal the exhibitionist nature of modern femininity and how far its has drifted from the feminine ideologies of the past.

ohlala...



whilst doing my usual online browsing i came across these beautiful unusual River Island shoes. i think i'm in love
I can't help but think the designer of these to die for heels is not only a legend but i think he also sourced his inspiration from these designers...



Mui Mui for the playful print and chunky heel.




Jimmy Choo for the bejeweled embellishment.


i'm quite proud of myself for noticing this :') and at £54.99 its quite a bargain for some Jimmy Choo/Mui Mui beatifically inspired heels. buy me them please :) ♥

i have no idea what has provoked me to start a blog, I think its because i find nothing more therapeutic then expressing my opinion. if I'm honest i don't really care if nobody reads this i've merely created it so i can stop having those daily moments were i witness something, listen to something or do something and think to myself "i should blog that".
