Coco Rocha

This clip is from last year, so I'm sure some blog some where has shown it, but I only saw this yesterday. I love Coco's runway walk and always thought it was better than her photos. This clip changed my view. Every. Single. Shot. Is.Stunning. She is a great great model, probably the best of this generation.

Asos Order

My Asos order arrived this morning which is very exciting. I loved the shopping bag/post pack it arrived in and was really impressed that my jacket was on a heavy plastic hanger and was wrapped in dry cleaner-esque plastic. It was dispatched on the 15th of July and arrived exactly 1 week later. Only issue is I can't actually do the jacket up, but that's not a sizing fault since if the larger size was available I would've ordered. All in all, very impressed with the order, service and quality.

D&G Sunglasses

I think I need to make it my mission to purchase all 3 of these D&G sunglasses from the SS 09 collection. Love the shape, love the primary colours. Perfection.

Moschino Cheap & Chic RTW ss09

I've never paid much attention to M C&C before, but these fabrics really caught my eye. They reminded me of the childhood activity of 'marbling' whereby you would drip some food dyes into a tray of water and then put a piece of paper on top for a very pretty effect.

The colours and pattern works so well on the silks. I love the deconstructed feel too.

Blogging from my new iPhone!

Originally I was obsessed with the nokia n97... Then the 3gs came out and I was sold. So here I am blogging from my shiny black 32gb.
ETA: Well that worked well haha. Should've added my favourite apps so far are the style.com app and net-a-porter app.

Delicious Shoes with Divine Heels

With shoes like these, how could anyone be a bag person? Diego Dolcini Lace Up Jewelled Heel Sandals - These would glam up a potato sack

Charlotte Olympia Metallic Ribbed Dolly Pumps - Kind of fun in an 80s way

Alexander Wang Hanne Triple Buckle Boot - My favourite


Bally Peep Toe Leather Strap Pump - Beautiful ornate heel detail

I love fine details in accessories since my 'look' is fairly classic. These heels would definitely add the pizazz I'm after to my blazer/tee/jeans combo.

My First Asos Order

I made my first order at www.asos.com last night. Purchased 4 items coming to a total of 17 pounds. Absolutely bargain. There were still a few more items I had my eye on, but I might have to hold off for now. Here's hoping to a smooth transaction and that the jacket fits!

Polyvore - Books and Tea

Tea and Books by widget featuring Louis Vuitton accessories

I made this set for a competition that said you had to include tea and books. So my theme was a creative writing holiday in New York. Whenever I look at it I get lost in the mood. Lame I know... but I could so go for one right now. (Complete with gold teacups!)

Some designer dresses to get you through the weekend.

Shoe Copy

I first saw these Giuseppe Zanotti Ornamented sandals on Polyvore a while back and thought how gorgeous they were.

Quick Set - Favourite Coat At The Moment by widget featuring Louis Vuitton clutches

The original heel below...

Last night I was browsing Tony Bianco and found this "Kodie" shoe. It's obvious chain stores take inspiration from the runway, but usually there is some creative difference. Personally I've always hated copies of handbags but I never really thought about shoes (well, I always knew I wouldn't buy shoes with red soles... that really is going too far) until I bought Sachi 'Blitz' heels which are inspired by the Jimmy Choo Glenys. Mine are patent purple though with no platform and I admit love them.

This on the other hand is absolutely identical. Colour, studs, heel everything... In my view I think they should've made some changes just to make it even slightly more original.

How do you feel about shoe copies?

Latest OPI Purchase

My OPI order arrived from Ball Beauty this morning (http://www.ballbeauty.com/ - I can't recommend them enough!) so this should tide me over til August when the Spain collection comes out.

From L to R - Princesses Rule! Done out in Deco, Banana Bandana, Royal Rajah Ruby

1st coat - I could've left RRR and PR at just one coat... DoiD and BB were a bit weak.


Second Coat - Personally I prefer Princesses Rule with just one.

And finally in the sunshine - Banana Bandana in the end needed 3 coats.

I bought Royal Rajah Ruby as a Chanel Rouge Noir dupe since I hate the formula and although it isn't identical, it's certainly good enough. I actually think the India collection (RRR) is one of my favourites. Never had a bad formula and the colours were all wearable.

Princesses Rule! is a pink version of Hollywood Blonde. Absolutely adore both of them.

Done out in Deco is a little bit too similar to Parlez Vouz OPI (I really try and avoid similar colours at this stage of my collection - I'm up to 20 or so!) but out of the two I prefer DoiD.

Finally Banana Bandana. A runny formula, but I've been craving a yellow polish for ages. Much nicer yellow than the mustard tinged one from the Bright Power collection, BB is a really bright creme.
