decided I'm not going to blog now until I get back to London on tuesday considering theres nothing to blog about in Preston when you have no social life because everyone's at university. Right now, if even a plastic bag swept past my window it'd probably be the most dramatic and exciting thing thats happened all week (not literally of course, I don't genuinely get excited over flying plastic bags)

ciao until tuesday.

GARETH PUGH FOR MAC

I'm so excited, legendary North-Eastern designer Gareth Pugh is famous for his outrageous catwalk creations. now, he's putting some of that dramatic, striking creative skills in to a makeup brand for MAC cosmetics!

the collection is made up of nail varnishes, blushes, lipsticks, cream eyeshadows and to die for strikingly cut lashes to complete the look. futuristic magic from catwalk to retail available to all.

sadly, the collection isn't available in the UK for a while but when it is here I'll be sure to invest in a couple of pieces and review!

HEY MINNIE MOUSE.

so, a couple of my friends have been asking me how I managed to make my hair into a bow a couple of weeks back for a night out. for the hairstyle I simply followed a step-by-step tutorial on YouTube and actually found it surprisingly easy. originally, I thought I would find the hairstyle particularly hard to do considering the fact I have long thick hair to work with. but, with a vast amount of hair pins and hair spray, it held in place perfectly!

and heres the end result, voila!

DEEZEE.PL

found this amazing shoe website called www.deezee.pl the other day after browsing through different looks on lookbook.nu and finding a pair of shoes on a girl that I absolutely adored.

the only problem is though, the whole website is in polish! ergh, its proving to be an absolute challenge and a half to translate the whole thing and then convert all the currency.

pure. dedication. to. shoes.

the prices are really cheap as well once you've convert them to sterling.

I love the selection of bright colours, textures and platforms they have, perfect for all occasions over the christmas period. will definitely be investing in a couple of pairs! they also do fantastic imitations of well loved designer shoes but for a fifth of the price!

not looking forward to falling on the winter ice wearing these!, here are my favourites...

Copies of Sam Edelman Lorissa Spiked peeptoe heels^^^^

(I've wanted the Sam Edelman heels for ages!)

copies of Jeffrey Campbell Lita heeled boots ^^^^

much love xoxoxox

Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Spike heels,

you will be mine!

I've ALWAYS wanted the Alexander Wang Coco Mini studded bag, but at £795 Its not really a practical purchase for a student with no job. BUT luck be have it I was browsing www.vj-style.com and found this replica for just £21.35!

aaaaaa, I'm so happy! although its not leather, I think its an absolute steal. definitely on my christmas list!

the original Wang bag! ^

Decided to re-do my blog design considering I have nothing better to do whilst cooped up in bed ill, Have a feeling it looks worse than before but It passed time so it can stay like this for a little while. I've been looking over a couple of more established fashion blogs recently to get some ideas and to generally just have a nosey, clearly these bloggers are a bit more committed to their blogs than I am!

have a browse of www.theblondesalad.com I love how she writes, how she photographs and how she styles herself. I originally found her on www.lookbook.nu and then followed her from there!

Considering the Versace for H&M shirt sold out in record time, you can buy collar tips off ASOS and simply attach them to any collar of any shirt! click here for this set that are currently on sale at just £12.00!

Marcus Collins of the X-Factor also rocked the Versace for H&M Menswear collection! matching hot pink tuxedo jacket, shirt and shoes. A pretty daring overdose of luminous colour but I think it suits him with his skin tone, It has such an eighties electric feel to it and I especially love the gold collar tips, a must for this season for both men and women. also, is it weird that I have serious eye-brow envy!?

Coincidentally just spotted Kelly Rowland wearing the Versace for H&M studded leather jacket on the X Factor so decided to print screen it! love it!

Versace for H&M

I wish I could of been well enough to go to Regent Street for the Versace collection at H&M launch. I must admit, from looking online its a beautiful collection.

Selling out in a record breaking thirty minutes the collection left the rails quicker than it was put on. its no wonder that this happened, the collection combines bright royal middle easten colours and prints, beautiful fabrics that clash with harsh cuts of leather and gold studded surface designs. the collection embraces the archives of Versaces and as Donatella Versace herself said "The collection for H&M is the essence of Versace"

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the collection...

Isn't it fantastic!? for the full collection lookbook and review click here

100% to die for...

Charlotte Olympia's Autumn Winter '11 heels are too beautiful.

The colours, fabrics, textures and the basic structure of the shoe collection echos class and glamour in a seductive manor. Olympia also uses her signature platform to add impact the much desired height. Who wouldn't feel sexy wearing a pair of these? They might not be practical for the ice of winter, but who cares?! These babies are worth risking a broken ankle for!

London's calling...

Decided to start my blog up again considering I've now moved to the big city and I'm beginning to settle in (currently, I'm back home in preston for the week but lets pretend I'm in London whilst writing this!)

London is INSANE. I love everything about it, its everything I wanted and more and I'm so so so lucky to have this opportunity! I am a first year student at London College of Communication studying Public Relations. I was so nervous about the degree as I didn't know what to expect, but I love it. Everybody seems to love my accent down south as well, they enjoy it when I say the words 'black' and 'curry' for some reason and they love pointing out that I say the words 'like' and 'ermmm' about eight times in a sentence!

So yes, I'm going to bring my fashion blog back considering I have NO reason not to blog about fashion and lifestyle because I live in THE fashion capital of the world. I'll keep an update of my day to day london life as well, not that anybody will be interested but never the less I'll still write about it.

ciao!
