Quote of the day

Oh La La

I love new fashion, so when I saw these handmade bras and knickers, I was crushing.

I knew I had to get my hands on a set.

Oh So Lovely Intimates have expanded and I am not surprised.

The only problem is how long it took to receive it my bra.

I understand they are "handmade," but with a company like this that are expanding, should probably spend less time on Instagram and deleting comments from angry users with the same complaint as me and get stitching!

Nonetheless, lace material and no under-wire, they are extremely comfortable too, with an adjustable back hook, with three hooks, like normal bras.

I ordered this, see below



It is super sassy and sexy and completely original to what is out on the market. For crop tops or sea-through lace tops, I would recommend. Or for even sexy pj's!

This isn't your best outfit

I know ripped jeans are a massive trend right now, which I have no problem with. In-fact, I myself have been lusting over Topshop's black skinny high wasted jeans with two slits at the knees.

Who doesn't love a pair of jeans with a slight edge twist, with a few slits. Everyone is wearing them right now and every high street store is selling them.

But there is ripped jeans and then there is tacky.





This is just winter tacky. I mean yes the sun is out, but it does not mean it is hot. It just means in this country that for once it is not raining, and there is blue skies and strong winds.

So, when I first saw this choice of outfit I thought that TOWIE's Chloe Sims was wearing denim shorts, but these were definitely not shorts.

 What they are is, a pair of jeans, that were handed to her little daughter, before she stepped-out of the house, and handed her a pair of scissors.

She may have pins that girls would kill for, but not in these jeans.

Then there is the faux fur jacket...

She is clearly weather confused.

Infact she is hot & cold.

Why else would she be wearing a massive fur jacket and legs exposed jeans.

It's a miracle

I may be one of those girls that needs to even use a few coats of mascara to leave the house, but I have also found a match made in heaven.

This miracle skin perfector speaks for itself! I may be popping to Tesco or the gym but it honestly is an easier alternative of wearing make-up. Yes it may be silly to be even wearing make-up to grab some bread and milk but it's always that case of you look good, you see no-one. You look like death and you run into every Tom, Dick and Harry you know. 

So instead of wearing foundation to the gym, which I wouldn't recommend anyways- sweat=spots, dab some of this, which is a day cream before you apply make-up, but in this case no make-up needed!

It comes in different skin tone colours too. 

Sorted ;)

Beauty best not brought

So like everyone at the moment, I've started using CocoWhite.

But everyone has been, well when I say everyone, celebs, have been posting pictures or selfies of themselves with their satchet, but not their white teeth.

So is it another celeb endorsement, free advertising, but no clear evidence of them working? 

But so far, I've not seen any clear evidence of them actually working a lot.

As for the satchets themselves, I have to leave them on the radiation, so the liquid can melt. And then you have to circle them around in your mouth for up to ten minutes!? Seriously!?

I guess I won't be buying another box of satchets anytime soon. 

                             

I am lusting over over-the-knee boots at the moment, especially these from Public Desire, but seeing as the only going-out I do at the moment is go to work, which is far less glamorous from boots like these, the question for myself is will I even wear them?

It doesn't stop me wanting them though!

Maybe I will go out more if I had them? Ha



                                                 www.publicdesire.co.uk

Oh dear

She's smiling but I bet she didn't look at the mirror before she left the house.

I mean no wonder she got booted off TOWIE, not the fact that she is boring, but her awful fashion sense.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you decent clothes.

Where the hell is the rest of the outfit?



Nonetheless she brought it from her local market.

George Harrison who appeared in Towie for one series may have the bod for anything, even crop tops, but this two piece is too wrong.

The Brits

I mean, let's hope The Brits won't be just remembered for Madonna's drop at the end during her performance, but the red carper!

Our very own Rita Ora did not disappoint.



Wearing a floor length low cut jumpsuit by designer Zuhair Murad, Rita sparkled down the red carpet. Sometimes with Rita Ora it is an annoying "What are you wearing" screaming at the screen, but she pulled-out all the stops for this event,

This number may get Dougie running the other direction.



Ellie Goulding gown was mistaken for a wedding gown, but I think she looks effortless. Wearing a low cut just like her bff Rita Ora, this lace patterened is from Alberta Ferretti. With her hair in loose waves and her underwear on shown, she still looks stunning, and I mean, at least she is wearing underwear.

Red dragon?



With a figure like hers, she could wear hot pants and still look hot on the red carpet, but this gown is a very much in between for me. This black gown has a red dragon design through the back. With a subtle hair do and a red lip to match her dress, I was expecting more from the pop star.

Not so little anymore ey



Is that Little Mix? With Jessy Nelson described as Jessica Rabbit, I don't quite understand this look. As a group I would have thought you would want to look sort of the same standard. The other three look ready for a grown-up evening while Jessy looks ready for a sexy night out. As for Perrie, who wore Gyunel, it doesn't do her petite little frame any justice.

The man of the show



To be honest I am shocked he is even wearing a suite. Trainers or no trainers he still looks very well dressed.

Another celeb collection

So as you may or not not now, Nostalgia, the collection line of Charlotte Crosby, was released by In The Style on Sunday.

After the success of her first collection, I was expecting more from the Geordie lass.

As for her recent weight loss, does it have any connection of releasing this line as stated by the Daily Mail? No. After her first collection, it was inevitable that In The Style were going to use her name to launch another collection. 

A year ago she won Celebrity Big Brother, she is still taking part in Geordie Shore, and she is currently about to be aired in Ex on the beach. And obviously been promoting her new fitness DVD of her losing weight...

Clothing lines love using celebs. I mean, let's face it, when you love a celeb, of course you wanna look like them. 

You want to wear what they are wearing too. 

I have always been a fan of In The Style. Celeb or no celeb. Then even more when Lauren Pope joined the team. In fact, you may or may not even see my posts, but I have clothes from Lauren's range and Charlote's first collection. 

So when I knew the launch date for her second line was approaching, I was excited. 

Yet, I can't help but feel a little disappointed...

Yes her summer playsuits are original, but is it summer yet? Are we even near summer? I don't know about you but I am still in my uggs and parka coat. 

I can actually say I would wear this. I love the original daisy chain across the shoulders and the colour. But I wouldn't be wearing it any time soon. In fact, if I had brought it, by the time it was summer I would have forgotten I even have it! 

This is very Barbie girl meets the 80s. I am not a fan of the colour and you have to bear in mind it will only go with white strap sandals.

Who doesn't like a shirt dress? I mean I love them. A red stripped one? With over the knee boots? Is this Pretty Woman part 2!? I mean where would you even wear this, and never mind the combination of black suede boots and a boyfriend shirt.

Don't get me wrong, I love there slogan t-shirts. I have two of their jumpers. But this white oversized t-shirt may only just look good with these over the knee boots or a pair of jeans. But I mean, unless you are a blogger posing in the street to take a snap, are you realistically going to go out for a meal in a white, probably sea-through t-shirt? 

As for this, this won't flatter everyone. You can tell how tight it is from her hips, which is okay for Charlotte and her new trim figure. And bearing in mind how she is holding the hem up to make the dress more appealing than it is, with an unusual bottom.

It's here

Heard about it. Read about it. Or know of it. Or must be living under a rock.

50 Shades of Grey.

Yes. Not only is the movie coming to a screen near you, as of tomorrow, well in London anyway, tonight was the night of the premiere, in London.

 And what was Dakota wearing? Was she wearing that granny cardigan tucked in a sexy leather skirt again? Nope she did better than that for us Brits.



Dakota Johnson took the red carpet in a Saint Laurent floor length gown, with a hint of sideboob.

Arriving at Odeon Leicester Square, the actress who recently revealed in an interview with Glamour magazine that she worked hard for her body, before it was displayed to the world in this racy new movie, showed her hard work paid off as she looked effortless.

It's the month of the awards, firstly The Grammy's

So this may be a tad bit late, due to working every single day...

HOWEVER

One word -  Grammy's!

Who wore what?

Who wore it best?

And what were some celebs thinking?

Well, one celebrity to not take fashion seriously, may have just pulled it out the bag this year.

Katy Perry



Wearing Zuhair Murad, this sparkly glamorous outfit is different to her typical looks, but I am not too sure on the purple hair? But I guess it wouldn't be Katy Perry if she had not done something wild to her look. Nonetheless, it's Great Gastby meets the Spice Girls.

Ariana Grande



Wearing Atelier Versace, and of course, her hair pinned-up, this white number has done justice for the 21 year old, unlike her usual baby spice 12 year old looks. With a high split leg, and one shouldered straps, this artist looks Greek Goddess hot.

Taylor Swift



Taylor may not have performed for the Americans this year, but it does not mean she did not make an effort on the red carpet, and she certainly did that. Wearing Elie Saab, This half gown, contrasted with a mini skirt is perfect for her tall frame.

Sia



I may be on the fence with this duo outfit, but I am kind-of warming towards it. Maddie Ziegler, who also appeared in Sia's recent music video, Elastic Heart, co-ordinated their outfits with Australian songwriter Sia.

Nicki Minaj



Wearing a plunging black sequined fringed Tom Ford gown, Nicki Minaj dazzled the red carpet. Slicking her hair back to focus on the outfit itself, this may just be one of my favourite looks from the star.


Beyonce



All black everything...Some celebs usually get slated for wearing black to the Grammy's but as if the Queen of music would be dared too. And she did not need to as she showed how glam she can be in this floor  length black gown by Proenza Schouler.

And the worst

Kim Kardashian

So everything is bowing down  to this women and apparently her outfit, but frankly I just do not see it. In fact it looks like a saucy robe she uses to seduce her husband. I mean a few buttons un-fiddled and this gown can go awfully wrong.



Wearing Jean Paul Gaultier, and showing-off her new chopped bob, shouldn't the limelight be on her other half tonight, not half her boobs?

 Rihanna




I expected way more from Rihanna. I mean I saw the top half, and I thought, yeah not too bad, off-the-shoulder, hair pinned up, but then you see the rest. The gown is an exploding giant candy floss. Actually, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory comes to mind. You know, the scene where Violet expands into a big violet, exactly like this dress, it's blown up. Her petite frame has been swallowed by this dress, and in comparison to last year, what the hell has happened!?

Charlie XCX

And then, there is Little Bow Peep.



She said she hated boring fashion, but I guess that is an understatement. There is 80s and then there's Pink Panther. I have no words. Apart from open-toe Barbie sparkles?

Girl to girl tip

So I guess you can call me a sheep, but when it comes down to my hair, I will try anything and everything.

I have tried eggs - Yes I separated egg whites from the yolk and spreaded the yolk in my hair - seeing as it is one of the ways for thicker fuller hair ... apparently

I have tried every Indian oil you can think off, and in-fact ended up with ginger ends too, as some can make your hair lighter.

Caster oil, olive oil, vedge oil - Yes everything!

So when I heard about HairFinity, I wanted and needed to try it.

I have been using clip-in extensions since the age of 14, why I don't know. I mean who was I impressing at school anyways??

Recently, I have been using micro bead extensions. They were great at first, but using them for a year wasn't too great. As my hair got thinner with the extensions in, my extensions started to fall-out, a long with my own hair.

So after reading mixed reviews about Hairfinity, I thought I better tried it myself. I think everyone is different. As well as the vitamins, you need plenty of water, and maybe even a lot of egg remedies.

So I have nearly come to the end of the 60 capsules, I am not sure I can see a difference in thickness, but I can see a difference in growth. After taking my extensions out in late December, I gave it a well needed trim, and my hair has grown longer than it was.

I guess thickness may take some time, but I would recommend this product for anyone who is in a similar situation to mine.

Happy hair growing!

Jean-Pierre

I know it is a bit late, but due to university credits and what not, I am finally going to post some fashion assignments, starting with fashions very own;

Jean-Pierre Braganza from SS14

Jean-Pierre Braganza

One of the biggest fashion events was hosted this year at the Somerset House in London, and Canadian designer Jean-Pierre Braganza presented nothing but simplistic monochrome prints that were utterly exquisite.

High neck lines, structured blazers and tailored trousers were used to express a tom-boy twist print. Black, white, grey, pale pink and even a hint of red were the colours used throughout the spring/summer, but we expect nothing-less for Braganza’s boyish collection to have worked  any better.

A few familiar faces at the London venue included singers Dionne Bromfield and Delilah.

Accessories were minimal, but the shoes were outspoken. The classic court stiletto heels were given the designers artistic touch, as they were given a strap-over the front of the shoe. Attention to detail was funnily enough the white fluffy bobbles attached to the straps.

Introducing youth VS experience, the theme of this collection was inspired by his daughter and her friend’s school uniform. Femininity angelic colours, Braganza presented that he does not comply with trends, and something extraordinarily unique is what he wanted us to see.  

Top-buttoned blouses and pleated skirts with angled cuts up the hem were continuously played around with throughout the designs. 

Braganza’s dark side inspired collection and angelic colours had shown nothing but initiative of how well these two controversial colours could be put together.

This dominating collection has shown cutting-edge, and his graphic prints are simple but none-other-the-less impressive. Having been obsessed of what clothes he wears, his artistic personality has been reflected on every aspect of his collection.

While studying Fine Arts at York University in Toronto, he had realised his heart belonged to fashion. He then moved to London at a later date, studying fashion at Central St Martin’s. Blessed with a photographic memory, his visions are inspired by his artistic direction. His success goes beyond London and the catwalk, as his clothing is stocked in over 30 stores across 15 countries.

With the model’s hair near enough untouched, parted behind their ears and swept behind the shoulders, just shows what Jean-Pierre aimed the focus to be about. These young ladies walked along the catwalk, while one consistent pounding song played continuously. Simple black and white eye shadow kept in tone with the style, but to call this a winter wonderland with these dark prints may be an understatement, as this was a spring and summer collection.

These boots were made for walking

This model knows how to put an outfit together.

Stepping out in London on Wednesday, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley teams a pair of skinny jeans, knee high boots and khaki coat, and she looks stylish!

Faiers

It seems the wrong sister sister had stolen all the attention lately.

This milf who appeared alongside her sister at a beauty event last night stole the award for the best outfit...by far.

Surely if you are promoting your faboulous lashes, it is only fair you look fabolous yourself?



With her orange feet and plain jeans, this look did nothing for me. But wow, check-out Billie!

With a chic mini crop top jumper and khaki trousers, Billie looks the part, and the best by far.

It is winter, so this whole white blazer, jeans and light pink top combo is a pure example of why she should sack her stylist...



If you did not Billie looked chic enough, adding a camel coat, she looked super stylish. With that frame, who would have thought she only gave birth in summer?

Wow

Can we just take a moment to remind ourselves that Jennifer Aniston, or to us, Rachel Green from Friends, is 45 years old.



Wearing a plunging shimmering low cut gold dress at the Critics Choice Awards, Jennifer looks effortless in this vintage Galliano design.

This actress looks glam as ever.

As you should know, if you do not, where have you been?

This week was the week of the globes, which means red carpets and obviously celebrities and their gowns.

You can tell Kate Hudson works out, as she squeezed in this plunging Versace gown.



All in white, J-Lo had all eyes on her in this floor length skirt, with a thigh-high split leg

I am so and so about this choice from Salma Hayek, and especially the colour



Sienna Miller looks stunning in this Miu Miu gown



Felicity Jones wore a structured blue gown



Kate Beckinsale looked pastel perfect

Lana Del Rey clearly wanted to be the little mermaid for the day



Ex actress of the Gilmore Girls and the Bridesmaids, Melissa McCarthy wore a pantomime outfit.



Kerry Washington - I have no words
