sunnies & more

afternoon all.

my visit to the v+a yesterday turned about to be quite stressful as the person i was ment to go with was ill and it was pretty busy when we got there, but i had fun and the hats were beautiful. i found out though to my dismay that boaters do not suit me and in fact make me look like a private school boy, in a bad way. *sigh*.

moving on, asos has some of the best sunnies around at the moment, and even though its not half as sunny enough as it needs to be to whip out your shades i picked the best of the asos bunch for you all to muse over.

from left to right:

Retro Super Future Exclusive Hippy Tie Dye £100, Christian Dior Large Retro 70's Rimmed-£120.00, Spitfire ASOS Exclusive Candy Bar Sunglasses-£17.75 , ASOS Catseye Sunglasses £7.75, Jeepers Peepers 'Zia' Exclusive Snake Flat Top £17.75 , ASOS Apple Sunglasses £8.00, Luella New Season Retro Glitter Wayfarer £150.00, Spitfire Rainbow Flat Top Infinity Sunglasses £17.75.

the apple ones are funny, would like to see what sort of outfit someone would team them with!
my favourites have to the last pair with the rainbow top. so summery and would go with every outfit!

this is the item on the top of my wishlist at the moment, need to go shopping on monday to pick up vogue paris and see if my local topshop has this in stock.
its very bohemian and so me, i need it!!!

also on my wishlist right now, this gorgeous vanity case from etsy.
its a little pricey but you cant put a price on beauty!
enjoy the weekend
(:

(:

we love erin

What do your clothes say about you?

"I think they say that I really couldn't give two shits. It's like, take it or leave it."




and that is why everyone loves erin wasson...
for anyone that was wondering lady g is at the top #1 spot,
taylor is still at #5 and kelly is at #7
(:

stylish in the charts?

The UK top ten is a crazy mix of comic relief songs at the top, kings of leon and oasis at the bottom and in the middle lies 3 very different ladies battling it out in 4th 5th and 6th postion. Entirely different, style and music wise i though i'd do a bit of a fun post today on these three ladies, giving my verdict on who should move on up the charts and who should shoot down to the #40 position with lemar...


#4 Lady Gaga - Poker Face
Love her or hate her you have to admit that Lady G is doing something different style wise compared to others at the moment. With her love for wearing no pants and killer heels (being a mere 5ft 1 I dont blame her) her electro beats have been hanging around the top 10 for a few months now but will Poker Face reach the success of Just Dance?

Judging by the video its quite likely. Once again we see Lady G girating and thrusting herself around in skimpy latex outfits surrounded by hot male dancers. With a love for all things shiny, we see her sporting some seriously bling nail art, odd make-up and a futursitic bob. Although this isnt really the sort of look you'd wear shopping on a saturday music videos looks arent meant to be that. There supposed to be outrageous and get people talking. And once again Lady G has succeeded at that

Hippy predicts for Lady Gagas new chart position will be #3 or higher! (:

#5 Taylor Swift - Love Story

The complete opposite to Lady Gaga, everyones favourite good girl: country singer Taylor Swift is #5. With her sickly sweet southern voice, long curly blonde locks and cute cat eyes Taylor is the ultimate girl next door. Shes demure without being boring and had a unique style that i actually quite like. But does anyone else?

Her single, titled Love Story is pretty much what is says on the tin. Taylor tells us about the ups and downs she has with the man of her dreams whilst poping in and out of windows in a beautiful old castle/statley home. We see her in lots of white floaty numbers looking all angelic like making come hither eyes. Now this could easily be disgarded as aload of old tosh but Taylor beautiful voice makes this possible cheesy song work.

Hippy predicts Taylor will move up and take the #4 spot (:
#6 Kelly Clarkson - My life would suck without you

American Idol winner pop rock singer Kelly is back with a more fuller figure yet equally killer album. She doesnt seem to have a set style, it seems to change with every video but doesnt really have a theme apart from being average looking. I like the lipstick on the cd cover but I think that was probably a stylist choice.

The new single is pretty much like all her other stuff, shouty with a catchy chorus. The video features her belting out her song with the aid of a wind machine to seemingly make it more interesting. Nothing we havent seen before..

Hippy predicts it will stay at #6, sorry Kelly.
Do you agree with my predictions?
The new chart will be revaled around 7 on radio 1!
Tune in to see if im right or not (:

eugh

sorry about the lack of posts, its the fault of a sudden burst of sickness. i'll do some proper posting as soon as i'm well enough, i promise.

bohemian

a person with artistic or intellectual tendencies, who lives and acts with no regard for convetional rules of beaviour.

im back

bonjour

im home.
disneyland was a little rainy but tons of fun!
i purchased some nice jewellery will try and get pics up soon.
i've spent a pleasant day catching up on all my favourite blogs and the rest of the fashion news i've missed since last week.
i must say i love the bunny ears at Louis Vuitton and the touches of baby pink at Chanel.
however my favourite designers Viktor and Rolf failed to impress me with their new collection. quite disapointing :(


nevertheless today is Red Nose Day!
im wearing my stella mc cartney rnd t-shirt with pride.
i have the madonna one as shown below on the lovley knightley.
hope your doing something funny for money or at least donating a few pence to this worthwhile cause.
my mum went all out for her red nose day outfit for work today with red knee high socks, red bows in her hair, the whole shabang. she gets very into these things...
i however shall just be relaxing in my tee simple enjoying the red nose day shows on tv
(:

au revoir

masses of ironing and packing are ahead as im off to disneyland paris for the week!
i will be doing cheesy poses with mickey and co for 4 days and i shall fill you in on the antics when i return on friday.
try not to miss me too much..
(:

oh daria

looking through my photos archives i found my favourite magazine cover of all time.

its numero, its daria, its effing perfect.
i challenge you to find a sexier fashion cover!
(:

tick tock

im quite glad one of the films i have to study is a clockwork orange as it is quite simply outstandingly brilliant. i love the styling of the film, and to my delight whilst browsing the net the other day i stumbled across these pictures that are think from vogue homme... wherever they are from they're divine and with a fancy dress party coming up next month im swaying more and more towards going for the alex look. Black hat, white jeans and top, braces, cane and seductive one eye make-up...

balmain

balmain a/w 09-10 is quite possibly the most perfect collection i have ever seen! its black& white with hints of blues, its studded and sequinned and sparkly, its stripy, its spotty, its chic and its just about everything i love compressed into one collection. *sigh* if only i could afford just one piece! i'd have my hands on the black and white sequinned jumper in a heartbeat.. hopefully this autum topshop will create some beautiful balmain inspired pieces that i will be able to get my hands on!
(:

alexa needs you

these are

gorgeous!
i dont think i've ever loved her more
(:

meow

hello kitty for M.A.C is uber cute and although im not big on very bright and colourful make-up i thought i'd bring you this sugary sweet video from M.AC and hello kitty. im not sure where my nearest M.A.C store is, quite a way away i think... alot of stuff is sold out on the website anyway but get your paws on the remaining shades while you can, i for one am in love with the packaging!
(:

Robert Ryan

i am in love with this mans work! his gorgeous art, frequently featuring birds and cute often childlike hand writing is like something out of a fairy tale. giving everything from jugs to bells a voice his talent has not gone unnoticed. his designs have been used by everyone from paul smith and liberty to vogue (bag custom made for vogue japan shown below). however his colourful nature inspired items are for sale on his etsy site www.misterrob.etsy.com and i found them to be surprisingly cheaper than expected! check it out now, they are the perfect gift for anyone this spring.
(:

yay!

i'll be the first in line to get the new nylon when it hits UK stands as its cover star is no other than my girl crush kristen stewart *sigh* hopefully i can pick it up on monday before i head to paris and read it over and over the whole way there
