So in light of the "fabulous" High School musical three coming out this month, i thought i should do a post on my favourite style icon....

Vanessa Hudgens.

So you may scorn at the fact she is in high school musical, but you have to admit this girl dresses fabulous. I definitely admire this girl for being a normal healthy weight for her age, unlike a lot of starlets these days, apart from the photo scandal, i do think she is a great role model.

Whilst gracing the cover of Lucky Magazine this month, she was on the cover of the September issue of teen vogue. I do adore the colour scheme, it was fresh and bright. I do wish they had left her hair down.

She also has/had a mediocre singing career, unlike her hsm fame.

wake up

2008-10-10T13:07:00.000-07:00

So i've been looking at my old posts, and must confess the blog was much better. I guess lately ive run out of time but thats no excuse. Lets just say someones splashed my face with cold water to wake me up so be prepared for better, more fun posts like when i first started. Posts coming up soon! anyway here are few fun fave posts of mine Jakey says!

You know you love me" Spring pictures i took!"

Could I Per-Suede you?

2008-09-28T13:19:00.000-07:00

I love Suede boots,there is something about them that are ultimately chic. After looking around at the new boots online here are 3 faves!

Uggs, $130, are a must have in winter, they are great for stomping round the house, walking the dog ( when its not muddy!) and shopping. Trust me once you have worn them you never go without, kinda ugly ish but super warm and snuggly.

Minnetonkas! So cute and fun but go with everything. $98 but there is always a 10% discount floating around from UO! Nicole Richie and Lauren conrad are huge fans!

I also love these by Steve Madden "arizonaa" boots$109!

2008-09-12T08:51:00.000-07:00

Little J!

My how you have transformed since the first season of gossip girl. Poor little jenny Humphrey has turned into a rocker chic.

When taylor momsen came on to the tv screen, people liked little j's Innocent kind of annoying character but over the season jenny shed this look.

circa 2006- Taylor with brown hair! Well this concludes that she looks so much better blond.

Then came the rise of not so little J, stealing Blair's crow. She cut her hair, stole her friend's moms dress, made enemies with Blair, dated a gay guy! not bad for little j!?

Flash foward to this month! You can just picture it!

" Ha have you seen Taylor's new hair" -Jessica Szohr " Stop it your making me giggle"- Leighton Meester

" Sorry but i couldnt help but laugh"- Jessica Szohr

" Stop it you guys, im trying to keep a straight face "-Nicole Fiscella

" Can you hurry up and take the picture, i cant stand to listen to cackles any longer" Taylor momsen

5 secs Later.....

Taylor storms off, to the loo to look in the mirror, while reassuring herself this is a good look for her.

Ok so a little bitchy, but the new look is so BAD!

xoxo

P.S sorry about the lack of updates, to put it mildly i had severe writers block! but I'm back, bad and ready to blog!

You gotta be joking!

2008-09-05T14:49:00.001-07:00

Either mary kate and ashley are playing with the world or they are screwed up! Simple basics for crazy prices, its even worse that lauren conrads overpriced line

Cotton Peter Shirt $490!

"Saddle-shoulder" Tee, cotton/cashmere blend, $450

Modal Tee $275 - modal = rayon!!!

Cotton Pants $700

Now maybe these prices are more fitting for gucci or chanel, not some celebrity line.

2008-09-02T11:12:00.000-07:00

So today i decided to try out some perfume in my local Boots, damn i love that store. I tried Juicy Couture's perfume and Rock n Rose by Valentino. I didnt like the juicy couture perfume as it smelled of old lady on me which is suprising as you would think juicy couture would channel a fresh and young demopgraphic? I loved Rock n Rose by Valentino, its fun and fresh with an air of sophistication!

I still dont think its the right perfume im looking for, i want a sweet, warm smelling perfume like Britney's Fantasy, miss dior cherie or Escada sunset heat.

Any recs?

2008-08-29T06:47:00.000-07:00

Who else is looking to fall/ winter clothes,

Here is my inspiration for this fall, boots, cardi's, dresses, gloves and fab accesories.

Fashion Books i adore

2008-08-25T14:19:00.001-07:00

Fabulosity:What it is and How to get it- Kimora Lee Simmons

This book gives an insight into the fabulous world of Kimora Lee Simmons, it's not just a style guide infact most of the book is either biography of her in the modeling world, all about how to get fabulously, Finance , self confidence and how to dress like her. The book is a wonderful insight into "Chinky Giraffe"'s ( read the book and you will get the chinky giraffe comment) life and diva and outlandish fashion is a light and fun read which will give simple tips like how to walk like a supermodel, always send thank you notes and not to spend frivilousy.

Personally this is a favourite of mine, which i always refer back to when feeling sick ( Guess why this book came up, yup that's right i have a cold) and is a fun staple that every girl should have in her wardrobe,Whoops! i mean bookcase.

That extra half an inch, Hair Heels and Everything In Between- Victoria Beckham This book is another personal favourite of mine, with tips on where to buy the best tank top, on dressing for special occasions, everyday wear, accessorizing, make up and making the most of your wardrobe. Its not a book to be taken too seriously and even the fashion goddess admits she still loves uggs and applies fake tan when David's away.The Book is friendly and witty, which makes the book easy to read and hard to put down, with fabulous illustration, fun pictures and if a little shallow but i think its a fun book to have. Next on my list to buy: Fashion Babylon The Goddess Guide A to Zoe!

first mani/pedi

2008-08-16T14:00:00.000-07:00

After many years of painting my nails myself, I decided to get my first manicure/ Pedicure? Usually I do it myself on a Sunday night, with a little bit of pampering, removing and swishing on nail polish then applying Clingfilm to my feet after slathering Body lotion. I loved the whole pampering thing, the lady doing my manicure and pedicure at the same time was fabulous, it’s not as simple as painting your nails and shaping. It’s the little things that make the cost worth it, the foot spa which massages your feet while the lady is massaging your toes with your best girl friend next to you gabbling away.

After the shaping, filing and cutting of the cuticles, it was finally time for the painting of the nails. I chose a bright orange polish for my feet ( OPI Brights Power) and a lovely soft but rosy pink for my nails ( OPI dozen rosas). I instantly fell in love with the orange pop of colour. Overall the manicure lasted 3 days before chipping which is not a great amount of time but nail varnish doesn’t tend to stay on my nails for a long period. I think I will get manicures in the future, occasionally say around Christmas and Birthdays and maybe parties but it’s definitely a treat.

I adore OPI anyway so I would recommend it to everyone who does home mani/ pedis!! I will do a tutorial in the future about my clingfilm feet!

Teen choice awards.....

2008-08-16T08:54:00.000-07:00

If i was going to the teen choice awards, i would wear this on the red carpet!

Standing Still

2008-08-07T14:16:00.000-07:00

Although Fashion magazines, such as Vogue or Elle report new trends each month and the runway creates new trends.

Has Fashion actually moved on from a couple of years ago?

The Tunic, Gladiators, Skinny jeans and the volumous tops are still here to stay despite being popular for nearly two years!! Fashion seems to be stuck in a time warp, with no real hugely popular trend sticking like this lot!

Like the boot cut, the flare and the straight cut jeans, the skinny jean has become a modern day classic and is going to be hanging around for a while. Your thoughts?

Buys

2008-08-07T09:34:00.000-07:00

Where all the blogging action happens...

I got this really cute knit in t.k maxx, i've been wanting a zebra print top for ages! It was orignally £95, which im not sure i would have paid that.

New Juicy Shorts! They are great in summer, i have a blue pair also. The colour is called lee and i bought them from ShopBop. New Juicy Pants, So cute and fun for lazing around! Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie! So cute and comfy although a little too warm for summer. Which i hope to wear like this^^ Ep " blaze of glory" season 2, the oc! Which is one of the best shows ever.

2008-08-06T14:51:00.000-07:00

Just a quick hello! How cute do taylor and Leighton look on set of gossip girl.

When lights go down

2008-08-04T21:05:00.000-07:00

It's 5am, I've been awake since 2:45am after falling asleep at 11:30pm. I'm incredibly itchy and swollen after eating curry and can't sleep.

So what did i decide to do?

Blog of course!!

All is good in the hood, finally shipped my "myus" order, so lots of goodies will be winging my way very soon. Not exactly fashion stuff, but some cute items never the less. An abercrombie hoodie, a pair of juicy pants and shorts, 27 dresses dvd, ipod armband for running! Which all should be here by Thursday!

Herve Leger

Am i the only one who is entranced by his dresses?

His bandage style dresses, seem to look fabulous on everyone, fitting tightly, showing of or enhancing curves.

Kim Kardashian is a huge lover of Herve dresses and is often seen wearing them on the red carpet, they fit her body shape perfectly, showing off her curves not hiding them!

How fabulous does Megan fox look in this pink number, a pair of open toed black louboutins would have looked far better than pointy gold heels which do not seem to go with the flow of the outfit.

Ignoring the fake boobs, fake tan and fake hair colour, isn't the dress Victoria Beckham wore to the Marc Jacobs show so amazing. I could see this dress looking darling on Rihanna.

Quote from Net-a- porter.com "Hervé Léger was a huge fashion hit in the '80s and pioneered the body-con look, which has returned to the fashion spotlight in recent seasons. The label was relaunched in 2007 with BCBG designer Max Azria at the helm. His designs are a modern interpretation of the signature bandage dress and have already earned a host of stylish celebrity fans including Kate Bosworth and Keira Knightley."

2008-08-01T12:42:00.000-07:00

Personally I adore studs, although I don’t wear them often which is also the case with most jewellery. Although I should do, as they are a simple way of adding chic-ness to your outfit without overpowering it, which can happen with hoops or dangly earrings. I love the way studs can pull and outfit together or add a bit of style when running to the supermarket in sweats. They are all about having fun.

These super cute studs are from claire's and come in most letters. The best part is they are only $5.50.

Juicy Couture Studs for $52 which are pretty neat and will go with anything.

Forever 21's rose plastic earrings are ever so darling and will look great in summer. $3.20!

Holiday Hiatus

2008-07-26T14:35:00.000-07:00

Ok again i've been lacking in blog posts, but whats a girl to do when she is super busy!! anyway I'm going on a mini mini holiday from sunday to wednesday or thursday! Sunny weather by the beach! Yay

hey oh! lets go!

2008-07-19T15:17:00.001-07:00

Ok so i've been slacking this last month, but can you blame me? It's summer and i've been super busy. So I'm in desperate need of summer clothes, you may gasp at that but it's being typical british weather. Basically Summer in Britain is wet, cloudy and not that warm with the occasional burst of sun and heat.

Bummer right?

I've decided to bite the bullet and just buy some clothes, i also want some cute clothes for when i visit my cousins in devon, hopefully in two weeks time argh!

On my list is....

♡ Tanks, Tanks, Tanks, whether they are lacy or slogany, i need them!

♡ Tees

♡ Denim Shorts,

♡ Headbands

♡ Oh and jeans, as my ones are too big now YAY!

Don't flame me but i couldn't resist these juicy Shorts and pants for summer. They were in the sale.

ciao for now xxx

Back to school..... Make up

2008-07-08T14:45:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of updates, been super busy!

Back to school make up is crucial, light but noticeable is a must or go the opposite end of the spectrum and try funky bright colours. ( Did i just say funky?! eww)

My first piece of advice, which i'm sure you readers are sick of hearing about it and i know my family hate it too; WATER! Lots of it, it ensure your skin is well hydrated meaning clearer and healthier skin and it tastes great too.

Foundation:

There are many different types on the market at the moment which is great compared to 10 years ago. With foundations suited for clear skins or even bad skin and more colour choice, its hard to get it wrong nowadays. During school you will want a foundation that looks natural and just enhance your skin.

Clear-ish skin? Try a tinted moisturiser which will slightly even out your skin tone, personally i like Clinique's almost make up.

Blemishes?: Try a foundation with a medium to sheer coverage, try mac Hyper real or L'oreal's True Match.

Need a Medium to heavy coverage? Lots of blemishes, very uneven skin tone, try mac studio fix which provides a Medium to heavy coverage.

Remember to try them on in real life and in natural daylight as its very hard to get the right colour for your skin

Now onto the fun bit!

Personally for school, i think lipgloss is more suitable, it's fun,flirty and looks great. Lipgloss is essential in my everyday make up and often enough, my mom and i catch each other stealing the other one's lipglosses!

Its much easier to get it right with lipgloss than lipstick, i tend to stick to baby pinks and warmer pinks and tend to steer clear of blue undertone lipgloss. There is an exception to this as i adore MAC's oyster girl.

Top 5 Lipglosses

Mac Lipglass - Pink Lemonade
Mac Lipglass- Oyster girl
Benefit her glossiness- didn't hear it from me
Stila Lipglaze - Peppermint
Lancome Juicy tube- Fraise

It's all about the eyes

Mascara can really open your eyes and always looks amazing, but of course everyone knows this. I like to use a thin line of liquid eyeliner on my top eyelid and a tiny bit in the bottom outer corner to finish my look.

Eyeshadow is rather tricky as it looks terrible if done wrong, so your best bet is to try different colours, try buying a pre-made pallete such as one of urban decay's so you get a feel of what looks good and what doesn't.

Urban decay's shadow box, 9 eyeshadows for $36! Brilliant and plus they have added a sample of the must have eye primer.

Back to school baby…. Bags

2008-07-04T06:55:00.000-07:00

I can already hear my readers groan, but as the summer draws to an end as always. There is always a rush of buying back to school items. Most teens like me, make a goal list for summer, whether its to lose weight or to get a new hair cut, its inevitable that I know you are all thinking about changing something before the holidays end. It’s exciting to start a new school year with new classes, new friends, and, of course, new clothes and makeup! With my simple guide to back to school, you can skip the rush and have inspiration on what to buy. Coming up in the next few weeks

Back to school bags ( this post)

Make up

Clothes

Hair

Stationary

Bags Carrying a heinous bag to carry around your books is a serious fashion crime. As everyone should know a bag can break or make an outfit. Carrying heavy books can really take a toll on your shoulders or even your back which is why I like messenger or totes as they are cuter, smarter and easier to use than a backpack

I've come up with the perfect and affordable bags for school; check it out.

1st pic – 1.Urban outfitters menswear Pocket tote in blue $30, 2.Target merona faux suede hobo bag in purple $22, 3. Wet seal Star print $19.50, 4. UO deux lux double cross bag $68 2nd Pic, 1. Uo reuse me tote $12, 2.Wet seal Printed canvas tote $14.50,3. Hollister China Cove $44.50, 4. Target Xhilaration Applique Tote bag- Ice cream $9.99, 5. Ralph Lauren Medium tote $115

So there you have it, affordable but fashionable totes which are perfect to carry books and essays and even stationary.

Stay tuned for over the next 2 weeks or so, I'll be covering more back to school...

Glastonbury 2008 and more

2008-07-02T02:51:00.000-07:00

So i may be your average girl but, glastonbury just doesnt appeal to me. Mud,tents, porta loos, need i say more.

If you do not know what glastonbury is, it is a big musical festival in the UK, in big huge fields where you stay in tents and it always rains so it is always very muddy and you listen to live music by top singers.

The festival gathers 20 somethings and celebrities from far and wide and with that you do get a few cute outfits. Name: Chloe From: London Wearing: Zara jacket, Uniqlo dress, vintage scarf and shorts, Dunlop boots, Linda Farrow Luxe sunglasses

Name: Anna From: London Wearing: Vintage jacket, Uniqlo tee, Zara shorts, Vagabond boots, Prada glasses Name: Kelly Osbourne From: London Wearing: Luella coat, Topshop dress, Gio Goi glasses

Now onto more.... Didn't Amanda Seyfried look fabulous at the London Premiere of Mama Mia! The jewel tone green looks great on her and would look great on brunettes as well. The Dress is not as flattering as it could be but the shoes make up for that faux pas! The lipstick doesn't really suit her but unlike most startlets in hollywood, she took a chance with her make up.

Leighton Meester is on the cover of Lucky! which is out on July 8th. I wish we had Lucky in the UK as i would buy this as i really like Leighton Meester. I keep wanting to type Blair instead of her name which is rather funny and annoying. Woops!

Paris Hilton, Love her or Loathe her ?

2008-06-27T13:28:00.000-07:00

Ever since i saw the simple life, i have loved Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Rich stupid girls with lots of cash to flash, put in a small kind of backwards town, with no money, just the money they earn on minimum wage jobs which often enough ends with them messing up!

Ok so Paris may not be a great role model for today's kids but she sure loves to have fun with fashion. She is hugely popular a couple of years ago, with her own club, fragrances, clothing line and even a jewelery line and books. But her hype died down after she went to jail for DUI and it was like she's had a fashion meltdown ever since! The bob which makes her look rather bird like, the " i'm a rocker now, see my boyfriend is in band" is just bland and she looks frankly silly.

I guess you could say i dress similar to the old paris, but with out the skimpy trash outfits, i love the cute dresses, casual jeans and a tee/tank, cute top and skirts and of course the numerous amount of primp!

Anyway her are my fave looks/items she has worn.....

I have these sunglasses! Dior glossys in taupe, so cute and summery. Once again, as you can see i have a thing for dior glossys, they ooze sophistication but still trendy. I love the way you can instantly spot they are dior glossys from their not unique but unlike sunglasses which are around right now. Maybe they will end up like aviators, or maybe that's wishful thinking. Also in this pictures, you can see the ever lusting YSL muse, which i have lusted ever since it came out but ouch at the price tag.

Simple baby doll, cute jeans and the simple jewellery is a classic outfit which can look good on nearly everyone.

OK so I'm sure I've now committed a fashion crime by admitting i love Paris Hilton but that's the thing with fashion, wear what you like not what's trendy and you will come off more stylish that all the trendies in the world!

B-U-N-N-Y

2008-06-25T11:24:00.000-07:00

You may remember my quest to find the perfect primp thermal post http://ouifashionista.blogspot.com/2008/05/primpin.html As you can see i was desperate for a bunny print one but gave up after a while as they had all sold out and when the trend died down, they still did not have them back in stock! Anyway my dear sister went to t.k maxx today with my dad, knowing how much i love primp, she spied this primp hoodie and bought it! It was only £20, with a rrp of £120. I recommend Primp hoodies a lot as they are so comfy and i have bought a lot of primp since finding t.k maxx. p.s if you find a website selling bunny print primp, please please email me or leave a comment.

The future's bright

2008-06-23T02:17:00.000-07:00

Just after finding the perfect spring nail polish, summer comes along! But after all it wasn't perfect, it chipped and was not quite the right colour i was looking for, the colour i'm talking is OPI Strawberry Margarita. Its a classic with nail polish fanatics but im starting to think that opi nail varnish doesn't work with my nails!

I came across Mac's Plasma blue, a shimmery blue. The blueness drew me to it, but i knew it just wasn't me. Chanels Flamingo nail polish is very me and something i would typically wear. But i wanted to try something new and different this year. I then stumbled across Chanels "Robertson Boulevard" collection, and instantly fell in love with L.A Sunset, a perfect orange with no shimmer, just a gorgeous orange. It's not available until July and even then we don't know when in July. So i began searching on Ebay as i knew it was available to buy in the robertson store. The beginning price is already pricey at $25 but to my dismay the cheapest was $35!

But soon i came up with an almost identical nail polish for $6! It's Zoya's Heidi from the Gossip collection! I've added to my wish list which i'll be purchasing all the items in a few days !!

Orange nail polish is quite a new and bright thing for me, as i dress in rather neutral colours and hardly wear neon's! granted i do love orange tops so maybe that's why! I've always worn pinks or nudes on my nails so i am excited with the prospect of a fab bright summery colour!

Lounging around Part 1

2008-06-20T08:43:00.000-07:00

As much as i love to dress up and look good, there is nothing like dressing lazy. But you can look good while being lazy also which is one thing where people make mistakes with. Also all these snobby fashionista's dissing sweats and print tees, i decided enough, thou shall not diss sweats.... Here is a guide on whats best... PANTS! Juicy have a bad rep ever since they became a hot new trend a couple of years ago. But their Terry pants and hoodies are just heavenly when it comes to slobbing about, the qualilty is great and they last along time. My favourite material is terry opposed to the velour as i think the terry is more all seasons unlike the velour which is very a/w. They come in fun juicy fruity colours which the fabric doesn't fade ( except the black!) which is great.

Another great brand of sweats is VSPINK, they are fun and girly and come in cropped pant styles which is much better in summer and are more affordable compared to juicy.

Jakey says...... How to avoid being bathed

2008-06-16T03:00:00.000-07:00

Hi, or should i say woof!

I'm Jakey, Oui fashionistas puppy, well technically I'm not a puppy as I'm 6. My mommy loves me ever so much even though i smell! Well i cannot help that, as when we go for walk, there is a huge smelly puddle ( more like lake) which i cannot resist to paddle in. My mom often threatens to give me a bath which i whimper at the thought, i mean its not my fault the puddle is so tempting with its wafts of manure.

Now whats all this about dressing up dogs, i mean come on that's just plain ridiculous, we should show off our fur not hide it in silly dresses. I do really feel for that poor Tinkerbell, her mommy looks a real dummy. If i was Tinkerbell I'd poop in her shoes, well at least i got rid of my nasty habit of pooping inside when i was 1.

Here are some doggy tips to avoid getting bathed...

If acting cute fails...

1. Run, as fast you can, mommy has wised up to this tactic and shuts the bathroom door so i cant escape.

2. If that fails, dance around the bathroom, so mommy has to chase me.

3. Dang, she usually catches me, by now the bath is run so mommy plonks me in.

4. In the bath, i wiggle so i miss the shower head.

5. Try and escape, i try and jump out the bath or shake on mommy so i distract her and then jump out.

6. Give up, now a dog like me doesn't usually give up without a fight but after using all my tactics i give up.

7. Enjoy, the doggy massage whilst she is lathering the shampoo.

8. Finish, after mommy gets me out the bath i shake everywhere to annoy her.

9. Dry, on my bed and relax until dinner time.

Jake xx poops and kisses

is there a black hole in my house?

2008-06-16T01:56:00.000-07:00

Now you may read the title thinking wtf is this blogger on about, but in all seriousness, I'm not kidding. Now my room and my parents house are super tidy ( my moms a neat freak!) so things are usually easy to find right?

But this last year, I've lost a couple of beauty items and its driving me mad! I patiently waited 2 weeks for a nail varnish arrived from the U.S, OPI fair dinkum pinkum. I instantly fell in love with its baby pink cremeness. 3 weeks later it had disappeared! i mean totally gone, Poof into thin air. I freaked and searched everywhere for weeks and had to admit defeat.

About a month later i lost two eye pencils, not something i really missed as they were only rimmel and i just restocked. But it still annoyed me. They were perfect, rimmel kohl eye pencils in white ( use in your inner eye on the bottom to brighten eyes) and in black.

But last week, after using my Mac Pink Lemonade, i was sure i put it either in my bag or in my make up case! but once again it went poof! I just adore this lip gloss colour and i simply cant find it!

So either i have a black hole in my house or i have make up fairies! any tips on how to get rid of them!? joke joke

MTV movie awards : The Hills style war

2008-06-02T02:52:00.000-07:00

To behonest, i never watch the mtv awards as frankly, i find them boring. They seem to go on for too long and when i attempt to watch them, i turn off after 30 minutes. I do however love looking online at what people wore and their make up, it seems to make up for the boringness. Everyone knows the hills fued between Heidi and Lauren, but do you think they will kiss and make up? I doubt it but today in style wars, Heidi won as much as i hate to admit it. The tight herve dress with white shoes looked great, but as always Lauren stuck to thinking inside the box. The dress is " christine " from her own collection, simply doesnt flatter this thin gal! The shoes could have saved this outfit but once again she pulled out the simple black open toe pumps from her closet. Now onto the "best friends" Whitney on team Lauren and Audrina on team Heidi during this past season of the Hills. Hands down, Whitney won this round, the bubble hem and the bright red dress with the unusual shoes pulled out all the stops compared to Audrina, the new bangs, midnight purple dress and the shoes that simply dont match let audrina down in the style department. Better luck next time

eyebrows

2008-05-31T02:29:00.000-07:00

Eyebrows can make or break your face, they shape and define your eyes perfectly when done right but when done wrong, you can look SURPRISED or GRUMPY. Which you don't want at all. Eyebrows often go through trends too, from bushy to pencil thin, literally.

Miranda Kerr has thicker but groomed eyebrows with a slight arch, flattering her face and making it appear softer.

Teri Seymour: These eyebrows are too thick for her face but are a great shape.

The worst of the Bunch

Pammy: dang girl, you need to go to plucking rehab! or fire whoever does your brows! Also lose the 90s make up, it doesnt suit anyone. Camilla Belle: These brows are too thick with a bad shape, and look like they have been filled.

Ahh pics!

2008-05-23T12:01:00.000-07:00

First pics of the Mischa's Line! i have to have that cream bag!

Mischa Barton line

2008-05-23T08:23:00.000-07:00

I usually hate Celebrities fashion lines, and most of them are just just awful and insulting!

I do think the worst ones are Heidiwood, Kate moss( thats not designing! that picking stuff from your closet and copying it!!) and Perez Hilton!

The best are Lauren conrad ( simple but chic), Milla jovich and Gwen.

But one line coming out soon, i am totally excited for!

Mischa Barton's Handbag line! Im a total sucker for handbags and i just adore her style! its like a match made in fashion heaven. Mischa, is has been in the planning stages of launching her own collection of handbags. “Mischa has always loved fashion, especially handbags,” her rep told Elle. The line will be vintage-inspired and all finished by a flower motif hand drawn by Mischa !

I can not wait to see these handbags.

What are your thoughts on celebrity fashion lines??

So aDiorable!

2008-05-22T03:55:00.000-07:00

I WANT!

Dior are bringing out the hotest and cutest phone ever. This phone is sure to be hot with Heiresses and Celebrities as i doubt most people could afford their ridiculous but oh so aDiorable mobile phone

The crazy price tag?

The regular mobile is 3,500 euros and a “deluxe model studded with 640 diamonds, which comes with an alligator sheath, runs up to 18,000 euros, or about US$27,000″.

Crazy huh! all in the name of fashion.

Summer trend- cheer inspired!

2008-05-22T03:38:00.000-07:00

2,4,6,8 ! This skirt is really great!

Ok lame attempt at making up a cheer but a minor trend i will be following is.......

Flippy flirty,jersey cheer inspired skirts!

I just adore these american apparel skirts and are only £13! They will be a great basic for summer and will go with everything.

Its nordstrom's half yearly sale tomorrow!

2008-05-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

I do love a great sale and nordstroms are great. But its easy to get caught up in the shopping buzz. Here are a few tips;

Have a look on their website and see if you like anything, if you do, remember what it is and write a description down.
Don't impulse buy, really look at what you have in your basket and if you don't love it don't buy it.
Buy the size you are, don't kid yourself that you will diet into it! 95% of the time it just hangs in your closet
Think would you buy it at is full price, if not, really consider if you want it.
Wear only a few layers as its a pain if your changing, so think jeans and a tee.
Make sure it suits you and you can make at least on outfit with it.
Have fun!

Dos and Dont's

2008-05-18T14:44:00.000-07:00

If you own a pair of leggings please follow these important guidelines

DONT's

1. Leggings are not trousers/pants, no one wants to see your ass.

2. If you do wear leggings, pair it with a dress or a long tunic.

3. Leggings in Yellows,greens and oranges just don't look good. 4. Don't wear with shorts, it never looks great, trust me!

Tyra and Christina, what on earth possessed you to think this is OK!

Sarah, Sarah, you almost had it right, the top a bit longer would have been fabulous.

DO's

1. Pair with a tunic and flats or even a top that covers your bottom.

2. Stick to navy, browns, blacks, which will look great with everything and flatter your body.

3. Pair with a sundress.

4. Leggings look best ending just before the skinniest part of your calves.

Tuck in, tuck it out

Routine

2008-05-17T13:58:00.000-07:00

I am rather lazy with skincare but on the days i do bother, i.e if i manage to wake up in time for school or I'm too sleepy to wash my face. Evening This probably happens four times a week! I'm usually to lazy after removing my make up!

Clinique foaming cleanser You cant go wrong with this, it removes make up and cleanses at the same time, it foams up like a mini bubble bath in your hands
Johnsons Baby wipes These little suckers remove every last bit of eye make up, they are like butter to bread, a unbeatable combination!
St Ives Apricot scrub This is the holy grail of scrubs! It is the number one selling scrub in the UK and the U.S. Most scrubs don't smell that great, but this smells like a cross between soap and fake apricot!
Bio oil Its used for stretch marks,scars and uneven skin, i use this little pot of liquid gold, just before i go to bed as when i wake up in the morning, Glowing clear skin looks back at me in the mirror!

Morning

After stumbling out of bed, after the alarm clock is on its second snooze, i potter into the bathroom and attempt to wake up. Lets just say, I'm not a morning person

Clean and Clear Morning Burst This face wash has tiny little beads with vitamin c and antioxidants which makes the face glow, it does kind of wake me up but i love the smell.

Nivea Spray SPF50 I use this as a make up primer and a sunscreen in one! It seems to even the skin, so foundation goes on smoothly
Mac Sheer select pressed powder As my skin is pretty clear in spring/summer, all i need is a swish of this to even out my skin
Clinique Duo in strawberry fudge This may sound strange but this pink eyeshadow is the perfect little blush for my skin
MAC Eyeshadows or Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks What ever i feel like in the morning, i usually reach for my dearly loved Shimmer bricks or MAC eye shadows to almost finish off my look.
Cover girl Lash Blast This really lengthens and thickens my already long lashes, it gives the look of fake lashes but being natural.
MAC Lipglass Last but not least, i adore these lip glosses! My favourite are Pink Lemonade, Oyster Girl and Prrr

you know you love me xoxo

2008-05-17T06:29:00.000-07:00

Every Thursday night at 10pm, no matter what! You will catch me watching gossip girl. Before this, you'll catch me, making sure I've done this weeks Geography and History Homework, which of course, 5 times out of 10 isn't finished, with a frazzled look on my face. Then rushing upstairs to get on my trusty Pj's and Uggs which are sadly like my rock! When I am ill, these babies don't leave me! Gossip girl is fabulous in many ways! It is basically the New York Upper East Side version of The OC which i adore! You have Serena, the troubled girl who disappeared for a term after betraying her best friend Blair. Blair is the girl you feel for but is Queen Bee, with a mom who seems to not care for her and a gay dad and Serena her friend who transferred with out telling her. With her fabulously unusually glamorous fashion sense, you wish you were her! Then you have the hotties! Chuck, Nate and Dan, chuck with his strange quirky fashion sense who is a bit of a rebel, Nate with was long time girlfriend Blair and Dan, poor by his school chums standards who is a bit of a school reject until he meets Serena who brings him out of the shadow and into the upper east side wild side and then you have jenny, Dan’s sister a desperate wannabe who constantly tries to suck up to Blair until she realises Blair is just using her. It definitely doesn’t compare to the OC, which sadly even though it was cancelled, will always be in my heart! Gossip girl is just not as relatable as the OC and you don’t have a favourite character like the oc , you had Seth, the geeky outcast which who stole Summers heart after Ryan the homeless convict kid came and lived with the Cohens and made him not such a loser at school. Then you had Summer and Marissa, Pretty girls with troubles, Summer, amazingly pretty with divorced parents and a cuckoo stepmother and Marissa, jeez she is just a buddle of laughs, not! She heads through a downward spiral after her parents divorce. My favourite character, Blair has wicked fashion sense and idolise her self on Audrey Hepburn, with often having dreams about being Audrey Hepburn in her films.

Did someone puke a retro candy store?

2008-05-14T02:01:00.000-07:00

No, its dior's cruise collection. With crazy, colourful prints and glitter with a splash of retro, it could be a candy store. Tunics, capri pants, suits, 70's prints, oversized costume jewelry. chic sombreros. All of the above arriving in candy colors.

Its my birthday!

2008-05-07T22:56:00.001-07:00

We then went out for dinner at Frankies and Bennys which is a new resturant in town, it was between that and La tasca which is a fabulous tapas bar which my family and i have been many times! I had New York Chicken, which is tender chicken with a special sauce ( hoi-sin with barbecue sauce) with melted cheese and bacon on top with a side of salad and fries. Not exactly sophisticated but soo good!

Spring!

2008-05-07T07:05:00.000-07:00

The weather is gorgeous so i decided to take some pics of this perfect spring day!

Primpin!

2008-05-06T02:15:00.000-07:00

Ever since those pretty little thermals came out, i lusted them for years over the crazy UK price of £80 which is around $160 for a tshirt! After the trend seemed to die down and people where hooked onto another trend, my lust for primp didnt die! After nearly making a mistake of buying a primp top whilst being naive of eBay and believing that everything is authentic. I fortunately found out before clicking that buy it now button that i love so much.

I then stumbled across Shopinuition which stocked many primp items at the time, my heart fluttered with delight and i ran to get my visa electron. But to my dismay i found the shipping prices a little to much to say the least for a teen.

I began my search again, searching at least 4 times a day trying to find a website that shipped or was legit. After becoming obsessed with finding that perfect primp top, i came across revolve clothing. I whooped with delight when i found the primp lion thermal for sale and with a amazingly cheap shipping for the UK. Once again i whipped out my card and finally placed an order. After waiting a week for the little parcel of delight, i find it arriving on my doorstep.

Primp may have a heavy price tag but the qualilty and fit are so worth the few extra bucks than a normal tee.

Kira Plastinina!

2008-05-03T07:02:00.000-07:00

Kira Plastinia has taken Russia by storm. Opening over 20 stores across the nation with fresh and fun designs, and opening 5 stores in the U.S this month and an online store. This 15 year old, $700million daddy's girl works very hard as a designer, instead of shopping or hanging out with her friends. She visits her headquarters to approve designs from her design team for her fashion line. With her daddy paying Paris Hilton £1million to sit at her fashion show. "do you hint a bit of sarcasm"? Yup maybe i'm a bit jealous but if i wanted to be a fashion designer, i'd want to become famous because of my talent not because of her rich daddy and her design team

Who's the daddy? Sergei Plastinin is president and a major shareholder of food giant Wimm-Bill-Dann and worth £350million.

The Hills

2008-04-29T02:49:00.000-07:00

The Hills is undeniably one of my favourite programmes. No matter how cheesy and scripted the hills is, i still find myself tuning in each week, engrossed in the drama, fashion and the catty girl fights that go down each week.

I guess it was only natural to love the Hills after being obsessed with Laguna beach which was the most cattiest, funniest lovable programme around along with the OC. I have always taken a liking to Lauren's sense of style, its chic but casual which is me in a bubble! She tends never to get it wrong, but i guess you cant with her simple styling!

I admire Lauren for being a normal shape, she isn't too skinny but isn't overweight, she sets a good role model shapes for girls out there. You must admit that she has got game, from being a regular teen on a reality TV show to having her own show which is the most watched on MTV!

One thing i cant stand is that when she is talking to Jason or a guy she likes, she puts this silly voice on and its SO annoying.

Wow!

2008-04-28T11:21:00.000-07:00

Now this is my dream bedroom! It just oozes PINKness, feminine and classy all in the same room! Its Betsey Johnson's bedroom which she has her apartment for sale at the moment!

Isn't the living room darling with the fur rugs with white sofas with a splash of green plants and pink walls which they all compliment each other perfectly.

Now someone needs to tell betsey to sort her hair out! a chocolate brown dye would look fabulous darling

Accesories are a girls best friend.

2008-04-28T06:53:00.000-07:00

I know diamonds is really a girls best friend, but accessories can be your 2nd best friend. Accessories can make or break an outfit, it pains me when i see a fabulous outfit with a tatty bag or a necklace that looks hideous with it!

Its all in the art of knowing what colours look great together and what shape or size to go with the outfit!

A simple black party dress = clutch

Simple day time oufit = over sized bag

Day out a the beach = tote

Here are my favourite items!

I love these wedges because they remind me of the shoes becky buys in Shopaholic abroad! They have tiny little fruit on the front and they are perfect for summer!

This is my bag collection!, from the left to right is a brown buckle hobo, a quilted across the shoulder bag, Louis vuitton Alma in Multicolour ( yes its real!) and a Chloe paddington lookalike.

Sunglasses are a must! The pair on the left are the Dior glossys which were popular last year with celebrities and then a cheap pair from asos which are very Nicole Richie esque!

Street Style

2008-04-28T02:05:00.000-07:00

One of my favourite things to do on a monday morning is to go on Elle.com's street Style ! it gives me inspiration!

Here are my favourites this monday morning!

Look at those fabulous wedges! Very Chloe-esque! reminds me of the opening scene in " the devil wears prada"

I love the pink jacket with the dogtooth combo! it's very chic and reminds me of something that whitney would wear on the hills!

Look at that beanie, the monochrome look looks great on anyone!
