Ergh, I was uber jealous of Bip Ling, fashion blogger and DJ, when I saw her photos at the Zayan launch in Sauce, Dubai. How freaking cool is this ipad case? I don't even have an ipad but I wants it. She looked fab in a Zayan bow and dress combo with Louis Vuitton heels.
Sometimes living in your overdraft is a good thing, because you search eBay for cheap(er) jewellery and come across some really cool brands. Just like Choochie Choo, a handmade accessories and jewellery brand made by Carly, a young designer and creative cat. Her designs have been featured in Cosmopolitan UK worn by Pixie Lott and other celebs like Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez and Alexandra Burke to name a few. Aside from the celebrity following, the best part is that the necklaces start at £6.99 which is a frigging bargain. Check out her stuff online if you love cute and quirky jewellery pieces that can be personalised too, I heart the Barbie necklaces.
This HTT style featured on 'Asian Barbie' (I couldn't find a better Barbie model) has one of the most popular colour combos on this season, ice cool mint and black, another fabulous piece from the Blanco collection. Team it with a black pencil skirt like Barbie or black trousers (I prefer trousers as I don't do skirts), plain black heels and a Chloe patent clutch for instant glam. I wouldn't do the red lip makeup for this look, Barbie is a bit OTT on the makeup so tone it down a notch.
It's been some time since I last blogged, my life has been a blur of meetings in East London with brands to get my latest project going (more details to come soon) as well as trying to keep up to date with my current job which has meant upcoming job interviews and late night work not to mention trying to keep my dwindling social life going attending engagement parties which has left me exhausted. Living in London and being middle class means keeping a 'sensible' career going at the same time to fund any real passions.
Anyhoo, back to the HTT outfit of today. Blanco in Westfield really is my happy place. I spend way too long in there browsing their amazing collection of shirts and trousers (the male sales assistant greeted me with 'Back again?' *cringe*) and if you're looking for some key work wear items, or casual glam tops/shirts, it really should be your main destination. Heavily influenced by high fashion, it is always one step ahead of other high street stores and very reasonably priced with shirts starting at £19. I loved this silk shirt with the chain print and thought it would look fab with a pair of skinnies, nude heels and a Lanvin Happy Medium Shoulder bag (Net-a-Porter). Love this outfit for day and night.
Mulberry and Burberry brought London Fashion Week to another level with Mulberry announcing the new Del Rey bag and Burberry sprinkling the catwalk with class, elegance and plastic rain in their A/W 2012 collection. Definitely the highlights of LFW this year.
I wore this Versace style print body con dress last night to a friends birthday bash, this print seems to be everywhere these days and I love that Boohoo.com had it in a range of colours and for only £12 was a real bargain. I wore it with a pair of black trousers, all white flats and a hooded leather jacket for a comfy glam look.
I hate how Net-a-Porter always tease me with the best bags. I can't decide which one I want the most but lets face it, I won't be able to afford them anytime soon, so I'm on the hunt for lookalikes on the high street. The first one is a fabulously chic Lanvin Happy Elaphe Shoulder Bag priced at £1465, then the Neon Croc Effect Marc Jacobs at £435 and finally probably my favourite because I'm so keen on Mulberry lately, is the Lizard Effect Mulberry at £1100. I also hate that I'm too sensible to spend that much on a bag but a girl can always dream.
