The Girls are back!

Its a Friday evening, There's cocktails flowing (free I might add!), mini cupcakes and hundreds of the best dressed women in town - it could only be one thing, Sex and the city 2!
Oh yes, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte & Miranda are back and they did not disappoint!

Now, As it was only released last night I don't want to give too much away as many of you wont have yet seen it but let me tell you it was amazing! The usual mix of tears, laughter and fashion with a few fabulous extras, Yes I mean you Liza Minnelli!

The Style, Patricia Field was spot on with sexy, sassy and fashion-forward outfits for the girls in the city - each outfit so fitting for the character, beautifully put together (see image below!)


Now, the real difference was the Abu'dhabi fashion, with the lack of flesh baring and independent women I wondered how this would work - but never fear, the outfits only got more fabulous! I love the way they interpreted the eastern culture and created such fabulous outfits, still keeping each ladies personality shining through!

But where theres an up, theres always a down - Carries Dior t-shirt/Full skirted floor length ball skirt couldn't have been more wrong, had it been in Manhattan then fine but at an eastern market, erm fish out of water springs to mind?

Never fear though, the ladies have still got it.

Oh Yes, they still have it. And I want it. All! Now, hurry up put those gorgeous peep toe shoes on and get to your local cinema - I'm off for take 2 tomorrow! X

Guess who's back...

Oops - Its been a fair few weeks since my last post! I've now finished my second year of Uni & moved back down to sunny Southampton, and apparently left my blogging there too! As you know, this blog was originally started for the use of a university assignment so hopefully over the next few days, maybe weeks, I will be slowly removing the 'irrelevant' posts and keeping up-to-date with my fashion posts!
Due to a ridiculously slow internet connection theses posts may be far & few between but I will try!

So the past few weeks, Well I'm now back in the box bedroom - living out of boxes and clothes rails, struggling to maintain any kind of summer/winter organisation with my wardrobe and losing most of my jewellery, make-up and accessories to my younger sisters! I'm also back at work, the lovely girls & boys at Oasis have taken me back & I'm very much happy to be back with such a lovely group of work mates! (I shall post the pictures from next weeks 'work night out' - if there not too horrendous!)

I'm excited for what the summer has to offer, as I've already had the maxi dress's, Aviators & sandals out & its not even June! Well Mr Sunshine, Bring it on - I'm ready for Summer 2010 babbbyyyy!

Bye for now! :)

John Lewis Ad 2010 - She's Always A Woman by Fyfe Dangerfield

This is such a lovely advert!
A beautiful song as backing music, follows a girl grow up and start a life of commitment with her husband - the soft lighting, well cast models and smooth time transitions make it a really successful advert! I never would have guessed it was for John Lewis but when the name appears at the end it created an instant connotation!

I love a Happy ending! <3

Oh No she didn't...

Please don't judge me, But this is HILARIOUS!
America's Next Top Model contestant Alexandra falls over not once, but twice on the same catwalk - Now don't get me wrong if i was 6ft tall with legs that long I'd struggle to keep myself upright, but then again I'm not strutting my stuff in front of Tyra Banks!

Just watch this video & Thank God that when your fall over its because of a few too many malibu's with the girls, & not broadcasted to the whole of the world! Ah cringeeee!

Lily Allen - Naive - LIVE LOUNGE

Jeanius!

God what a cheesy title?

Oh well, To keep this post short & sweet I just wanted to post a photo of May's Vogue (Germany) - With Miss Vicky B on the cover, her third vogue front cover, its a jeans special...and came in denim packaging! They say simple things please simple minds & I'm sorry to say that I was impressed, to use my favourite sketchbook quote - Simple yet effective!

Oh so posh...

Last Friday myself & some of the girls from uni went to Ladies day at Aintree races, being my first venture into Liverpool I was really excited - and a little bit scared, I heard about Scouse girls reputation of being a little over the top!
But I had a lovely day, although I felt a little pale amongst all the spray tans - but absolutely loved looking at what everyone was wearing! Some girls looked amazing, others well lets just say its not my thing!
Here's a snap of us girls in the morning, after a lovely glass of bubbly!


Don't scrub up too badly do we?
