catch up

I'm sorry for the lack of posting, things have been insanely busy for me. If you read the 'currently' section to the right hand side of the blog you'll know i've been travelling into London everyday for work experience at Sugar Magazine. It was a great experience, I was treated very well, I even got to write some bits and pieces which were then given to the features editor who said she may use some stuff as she liked it so much! I also got to meet the editor Annabell who was super friendly. Me and some other work experience girls helped her pick which photos of one of the hottest and most talked about celebs of the year to buy for use in a future issue. Cant tell you who but keep looking out for future Sugar issues!


The Sugar offices are at Marble Arch, allowing for several shopping trips on lunch breaks and I picked up this gorgeous River Island bag. NB - the photo does not do it just justice.


On my last day I was given a pink goodie bag of treats by Sugar to say thanks for helping out which i thought was really sweet. I got tonnes of CDs like Katy Perry and Girls Aloud, some teen books and beauty products, a selection of which is in the photo below. The green stuff in the pink pot is green hair dye, will probably save that for Halloween...


I know its not autumn yet but with the total lack of sunshine and dreary english weather I cant help thinking ahead to my winter wardrobe. I haven't owned a leather jacket since I was 11 but I feel now is the time for me to embrace the biker jacket once more. In these 'credit crunch' times it will probably have to be a faux leather jacket and as it will have to last through to January a cropped jacket is probably not a good option either...

Haven't found any jackets that have caught my eye as yet but here are some of my favourite celeb leather looks. I like how Kristen teams hers with yellow, makes it pop.



Have you seen any nice leather jackets on sale anywhere? Do you own the perfect leather jacket? If so where is it from? I must know!!!

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 (:
