Jewellery and make up - combined!??!

So long time no blog – I know I know

Bad that I'm not obsessing over the page like I should be, but I've been busy with a brand new job in the old PR world.

But something made me remember this wonderful page - a little gift in the post (it was my birthday on Monday so I'm considering it a gift!) A Lipstick ring – sounds like a horrible concept and something you might have got free with Sugar magazine many years back. But this little ring from Arbonne is simply amaze!!



This chunky ring with pearl detail is something I will most definitely be wearing out on the town. With a handy mirror and rose coloured lipstick enclosed it is officially my new favourite thing!

The Highs and Lows of this years Met Ball

Every year its an excuse for die hard fashion fans to show off their best wears under the scrutinous eye of Anna Wintour.

So why oh why did Katy Perry dress like a Barbie circa 1987? (spot the difference below)

Alexa Chung, looks more vampire/bull fighter – but then again, when was the last time Alexa actually pulled off a look. All I can ever think when looking at her is 'eat a frickin sandwich!'

Ok, so i'm in a bad mood, hence the insults, but finally this ghastly look is just wrong in so many ways. Kristin Stewart is wearing a beaded curtain around her waist!? What has happened to the elegance of a simply cut ball gown?

So who got it right?

Blake Lively – wow wow wow. She is stunning Marchesa, and manages to look classy even though it is a slutty hemline. Shame about the shoes (yes I couldn't be that nice!)

Emma Watson – She has come along way from the old HP years. Elegant Burberry dress, check. Ever so trendy designer on arm, check. Succeeded in making me very jealous, check.

Kate Hudson – Sunkissed tan and a killer leg on show, Kate shines in this Stella McCartney number.


Overall, I'm not so impressed with the selection by the celebs.
I mean come on Mary J – did you pop into Debenhams on your way to the ball?

faking it...

Temporary tattoos are set to be the must have accessory for summer 2010, thanks to the release of Chanel’s ultra stylish temporary tattoo collection.

These temporary tattoos already have a wide celebrity fan base including Lily Allen, Daisy Lowe and Sarah Jessica Parker. SJP was spotted wearing a Chanel tattoo as an accessory to her Oscar outfit.

If you want to follow the tattoo trend this summer but can’t wait for the Chanel waiting list to go down or you can’t afford the £49 price tag of the set, Inkwear.co.uk have the answer.

Inkwear provides fashionable temporary tattoo jewellery in a vibrant range of colours, designs and sizes.

You may feel like your 13 again wearing these, but i personally think they're great for a night out - or if you're just a little too scared of a needle.

The transfers range in price from £2 to £3 for individual tattoos and from £6.99 for sets with an average of 8 tattoos per set.Buying and wearing Inkwear couldn’t be easier. Orders are taken online atInkwear.co.uk with the choice of over 500 designs.

Festival finds

Is it too early to thinking about jazzy outfits for the festival season? Probably - but i don't seem to care!!

Bring on wellies, not washing and general lack of social decorum.

As for the clothes - even better - every girl at a festival seems to be rocking a look, even if you are just standing in a field covered in mud and other varieties of beer and cider.

Now as much as i hate to admit, there is one celeb who manages to get festival dressing right - the not so lovely Sarah Harding - i'm loving her effortlessly cool look here.



Get the t-shirt from any Topshop, lets be honest its quite generic.

Or be a little different and get this great cropped number from Brat and Suzie - only £22
Available online at www.bratandsuzie.com or in selected boutiques nationwide









Rock a pair of levi vintage denim shorts, and throw on some limited edition hunters (£145 from hunter-boot.co.uk) to finish it off!




I on the other hand am praying for non welly wearing summer!

Let the fun commence!!

As the weather begins to warm up, a new fashion mood is blossoming at H&M.
This spring H&M has a women’s collection of floral and feminine fashion in sustainable materials, called The Garden Collection by H&M.

Pieces from the collection are in stores now and the entire collection will be available by the 25th March.

I love the floral sheer blouse, teamed with these fab cream shorts. It just makes me want to dress for summer, but I’m not going to be some crazy person dressed in flip flops just yet! What is it with Brits and the summer weather!? I saw someone wearing flip flops in the rain yesterday?

Anyway, I digress. My fave piece from the collection is this elegant red dress – which screams glamour and sophistication. Guess it won’t sit so well on me then!

ebay ebay ebay

I've decided to sell on ebay - its been a long time coming. This is mainly due to the fact that my wardrobe is lying sprawled across the bedroom floor.

My favourite item - this floral 50s number. Sad to let it go.. but out with the old and in with the new I say!

So its 2010 and women continue to be the talking point of the headlines, whether it be Cheryl Cole rise and Ashley Cole’s fall – or Michelle Obama’s amazing support of Barack Obama’s rise to presidencency.

Now Red magazine has revealed the 20 most influential women who will be setting to shape our futures. Rising stars from industries across theatre, politics, media, business, the environment, food, technology, fashion, the voluntary sector and social enterprise have been selected.

These include, Chloe Smith , the youngest MP in the House of Commons and the Tories’ secret weapon’, Gemma Tuley, Susie Bubble from Stylebubble.com, and actress Sheridan Smith (28), the star of West End. Their achievements to date have been remarkable, with one woman awarded an MBE and all of them paving the way for other young aspiring female professionals.

According to Sam Baker, “These women are an inspiration to us all,” with leading figures across the industry speaking out to agree with this accolade.

However my favourite choice is the wonderful Louise Goldin, described as ‘Fashion Power House’. Her edgy and yet girly designs have brought her to the forefront of British designers, really outshining the others and my most favourite thing – that she has brought out a range of shoes for Topshop. (shoes pictured £110 topshop.com) Affordable chic!
