Back on it...

After checking in on my blog, after a bit of a sabbatical, I've noticed that I've still got readers from across the globe. Thanks!!

So I thought I'd start with a little post to ease me in. This is all about heels, after falling in love with these classic t-bar sandals from Next... I felt compelled to share!

Beauties huh? Check them out online now. 

Right, now time for that pedicure!

Lady Ri for Mac...

Lady Ri Ri has her fingers in an immense amount of pies at the moment. Not only has she just 'rather successfully' launched her first clothing collab with River Island, she's also embarking on her Diamonds World Tour soon. I've managed to bagsy myself some tickets for the Twickenham night on the 15th June - mega excited!

Not content with this though, Ri Ri has also decided to team up with the geniuses at MAC Cosmetics and will be releasing her own make up collection at the start of May.

The first product to launch will be a bright red lippy called RiRi Woo, inspired by the classic Ruby Woo from MAC.

Roll on May - I can not wait!!!

Shoe Porn...

This is a short but sweet post. I've been thinking of Valentines... Obviously I've suggested that we get each other presents this year, albeit on a budget. £50 is a decent budget right?

So I've found these... God I love Zara shoes! The only problem I have is, which blooming colour do I choose?

Help!!

Very SS 2013

I love a bit of Very.. They offer next day delivery, have a shed load of lovely bits available and then they allow you to pay it off in 3 instalments with NO interest... What's not to like eh?

Here are some new bits added to their site that I'm obsessing over - www.very.co.uk

I've always been a fan of jumpsuits and this one by the lovely Fearne Cotton has got me obsessed - the colour is divine!! Jumpsuits are so comfy but can be a funny fit (watch out for the camel toe girlies..) so always best to try before you buy!! Good job that Very offer returns..

This top by Jameela Jamil is also an awesome design - Perfect under a cardie or paired with some denim shorts in the summer.. I love it's off the shoulder vibe and I think I'll be adding some of my own (clean) wording to those empty boxes.. It's too tempting not too! Customise it to your requirements...

Have you seen the new collection online? What pieces have taken your fancy?

Booty!

I succumbed to the damn sales. I've been very frugal mind you.. Only due to the fact that I can no longer smuggle anymore shoes/boots/loot into the damn house for fear of being busted by the other half!! Anyways.. These lovely little booties were in H&M the other day for a mere £10.

They are gorgeous little Chelsea boots in the most delightful tan colour. The heel is easy to walk in and they are so so comfy!

Here's a little pic of how I styled them yesterday - jeans, jumper, fur coat and tartan scarf... Standard get up in this weather!

Jeans - Jamie @ Topshop

Fur Coat @ eBay

What's been your best buy in the sales?

Hell for Leather!

Everyone loves a bit of leather - it's the ultimate rock star material! I'm always wearing my little biker jacket come rain or shine and recently I've been pining for a cheapish leather or decent looking PU effect black knee length pencil skirt. I'm seriously vamping up the sex appeal for 2013!!

It's such a versatile look though - you can dress it up and look uber glam with a luxe top, or rock the casual chic with a tee or vest and heels. Obviously it can be worn with tights, in this weather it's probably advisable, but when Spring finally arrives then get those pins out - super hot!

Heidi Klum and Agyness Dean look effortlessly hot in these two different looks with the same style of skirt.

I've found a real premium leather skirt on the H&M website for a mere £60 - not a bad purchase at all. However Next also do a reasonable looking PU leather effect skirt for £28 - now this is a popular choice on their site and as a result 3 weeks are going to have to be sat waiting if I opt for this one..

Can you tell the difference between the real and fake?

Top - H&M £59.99

Bottom - Next £28

What do you think? Have you seen any other decent PU versions? Do you prefer Agyness's or Heidi's look?

Rick Owens Sunglasses...

God I love Kimmy. I get a lot of stick for admitting it, but sod it! She's a machine, the woman works non-stop and looks flawless time and time again. Oh to have her endless supply of assistants on hand to prune and preen me on a daily basis eh?

Recently the lovely Kim has been under a major Kanye makeover and has been rocking these Rick Owen shades, which can only be described as 'oversized'. And that's putting it mildly!! They are an immensely huge visor frame with a mirror finish on the lens to reflect those paparazzi shots..

 

What do you think? How big is too big?

Movember!

After talking my manager into growing a moustache for Movember, I thought that I'd promote this amazing cause through the medium of a blog post. Not like its unheard of though eh Mary?

Seriously though, this charitable event started back in 2007 and has gone from strength to strength since. £22million was raised last year alone for men's charities Prostate Cancer UK and the Institute of Cancer Research. It's a perfect opportunity to remind the hubby to cop a feel of his baubles.. If he's anything like mine he won't need reminding - his hands are permanently down his pants! Or you could always volunteer your services.. All in the name of charity guys/girls ;)

With a ridiculous amount of clothing and accessories now sporting the 'tash' trend there's really no reason why everyone can't get involved.

Here are a few of my fave tash-tastic pieces. None of these items donate money to the charity, so do your bit and visit http://uk.movember.com/ to make a donation.

Alexander McQueen Visor!

So after visiting the 'Framed' exhibition at the London College of Fashion last Friday, I couldn't not share this with you. Anyone who followed Fashion Week would have seen some mental futuristic visors on McQueens models. Now usually catwalk creations don't really bode well in retail stores, however these may just be an exception!

Dubbed the 'visor shades' by fashionistas, the frame was worn by seriously glam models at the fashion houses 2012/2013 catwalk. It gave the collection a futuristic feel and with celebs like Lady Gaga and Rihanna pushing the boundaries on 'extreme' eyewear, it's likely that you may well see these visors on a face near you!

 

 

 

 

 

The frames are still available on alexandermcqueen.com for approx $400. They are UV protected and despite the mirror effect, the frames are completely see through.

What do you think of these? Should they have stayed on the catwalk?
