Such a Cutie!


New book I want.
Although I liked Whitney best from the Hills Lauren was a close 2nd!
I liked her style although she is a little to simple (style wise) for me and I would have to funk a few of the outfits up a bit. She is very classic and a cutie too!!
 I will be picking her new book up when its released!

BFI Film Fest





I will be heading off to see a few of these movies for sure! There seems to be a lot of good talent as usual at the film fest. I missed it last year as I was sunning myself in Hawaii!!

Film I want to see the most? Black swan, a thriller staring Natalie Portman set at the New York City Ballet

New Reiss drop!!

My best picks love love it!! 
About time the had a good drop...I have been over Reiss for a while now but apart from the ridiculous price points things seem to be looking up!!
A good solid collection of desireables. Well done Reiss!

(Not sure on the motionless/expressionless/plain model...although i kinda like it as it lets the clothes speak for themselves!)

Bootay!

After realising that almost 95% of my underwear is black I decided I need to add a splash of colour with a few girlie bits.
Came across this sweet site that makes silk underwear in London at great price points. Here are my picks.
I am however on the look out for some nice Autumn colours Burgundy Moss Green rust and royal blue for example

Worth a visit.


 Lily Allens sister Sarah Owen will finally be opening her shop Lucy in Disguise in Covent Garden this weekend.

It is a vintage shop stocking many hand picked desirables and boasting a blow dry bar Boys waiting area with PlayStation and comfy chairs (Genius)  and an all day vodka bar (ouch!) you can pick up all the big names and a few unknowns with prices from £80 - £700!

Probably worth avoiding it this weekend but I will probably pop in on Monday night when the crowds have dispersed! And see what they have to offer....
She also has a very nice site. Well done for being spot on trend with the short film.

Roll Call



I really dislike the whole Army theme (probably due to me being around the first time) so the whole cargo thing just leaves me a little dissatisfied.....
However I came across this silk shirt and I could see myself working this with some jeans or cute pants or even a little skater skirt.I am fond of the army colour ways so I guess I will be doing a Shelma spin on Cargo this year!
The goldie camel version is cute also.

Nars mash up



Nars has launched a new range of nail varnish's that are based on Classic Cinema for the autumn.
I chose to go with MASH its a gold khaki and perfect for the camel/light colour palette this autumn.It was a close call with King Kong but I decided KK was a little flashy for every day wear and for £13 I want everyday wearability!
(See colour/film list below)

As I have super long nails I have to be really careful with the shades I chose (everyone seems to think my nails are fake anyway) but they have a tendency to look a little talon and 70's like if I wear bold or overly metallic colours :0) I actually loved having long oval nails this summer as everyone kept them short and sweet and of course I hate to follow suit......Also this winter I do think I will be channeling the 70's vibe! 
  • Mash – Army green with gold
  • King Kong – Copper brown with gold
  • Midnight Express – Deep navy
  • Zulu – Forest Green
  • Full Metal Jacket – Gunmetal
