Time-Travelling. No Actually.

How amazing would this be if it were true..



Time-Traveller Spotted At Chaplin Premiere

If even the intelects think it's a possibility, who am I to say it's not? All I can say is give me a go. But the big question is where in time would you go? Decisions.. Titanic would be up there for me (before the fateful night obv) because I am a bit nerdy really.

PG(ish) AA.

Here is an American Apparel photoshoot which I particularly like for several reasons. Firstly, the model is one of their better, i.e. attractive, and doesn't look like she's doing it for illegitimate reasons. There are three slideshows for this outfit and admittedly by the time you get to the third we're presented with naked breasts but the chiffon blouse is a nice addition for this picture. Finally, I love any shoot which is at one with nature, particularly horses. Overall, this is a pleasant surprise from American Apparel and the clothes aren't bad either.

Style Crush.

My style crushes from the MOBO's are without doubt Tinie Tempah and Reggie Yates, in that order. Unfortunately no women really caught my eye and those that did were for the wrong reasons, ahem Alesha Dixon.

First and foremost, Mr Tempah. Be it those signature Ray Bans in place, fine array of leather jackets or just how darn cool you are, you are the definition of suave and awaken the schoolgirl crush in me. Luckily for you the red leather jacket looks less 'Thriller' and more killer teamed with black skinnies and Ray Bans. The fact that you came into my work on the day of the MOBO's just before I started my shift disappoints me.




And then there is Reginald. Reggie, Reggie, Reggie, how you've blossomed. Wherever you hid the Reggie/Robbie from Diggit and CITV, I think it's best you leave him there because he was holding you back. If you'd told me you were wearing tartan trousers I'd have questioned every iota of 'cool' that emanates from yourself but you did it. The trousers, white tee, glasses and jacket with leather football buttons in tow worked. As did the velvet jacket ensemble. Beautiful.

What can be established? All three of us have a love for glasses which make us fiendishly intelligent looking.

Never Smile At A Crocodile.

To help balance out the amount of high street I post, here is a (struggling to think of worthwhile adjective).. astonishingly.. (beautiful isn't the right word).. fierce Balmain jacket. The enviably edgy jacket retailed at $130,000 or £82,000. This crocodile most certainly did not die in vain.

The Post With The Most (High Street).

Unfortunately it's that time of year where it's all a bit miserable. It's meant to be Autumn but it feels like Winter and Summer was a hundred years ago yet Christmas is a hundred years away. To really twist the knife, it's a five week month in terms of payday. It's quite a vicious circle really, to cheer myself up I peruse the online shops and accrue quite the shopping basket (as illustrated below), all the whilst the funds have run dry by the third week. Moving on, below is said shopping basket..

First stop on the Shopping Binge Express; a Whistle stop tour of What's Hot.

Now to move on to my all-time fail-safe favourite, Topshop. Let's start on a negative; it's coming to that time of year again.. Sale. But every cloud has its silver lining and for once there is a plethora of goodies in time for uniform. I may even be tempted to say spoilt for choice.

Congratulations to Rosie Lips on reaching..

I'm tempted to weep a little tear as if it were my childs first birthday.

Whistles & Ash.

Whistles have got some new treats in for us. I'm in love with all three of these outfits. As of this moment my payday has already been violated.

Getting in touch with my inner rock and roll, if there is such a thing.

Venomous Villains.

If ever MAC was to convert me with a new collaboration make up range this is it. Move over Hello Kitty and Dame Edna, the new kid on the block is way hotter. Enter Venomous Villains.

Their website demonstrates each Disney villain's look and obviously the products they bought from MAC to acheive this look. Incase you had a deprived childhood, below is Cruella and Maleficent.

Although I've never been a die-hard MAC fan, these colours are looking a bit too fabulous to miss out on. Prices are from £8 to £23 and include everything from nail varnish to lipstick to face powder.

A Series of Thoughts.

I'll start this post with some of my latest buys;


Love, love, love these 2 colours. Welcome back Winter and thank you for allowing these morbid colours back into my life.





Nails in Ruthless and Limited Edition Grunge, £5 & £6, Topshop


I finally found/settled for a Winter coat. It looks much better on than it does here, I hasten to add. I'll add a picture that does it a little more justice soon.

Animal Jaquard Parka, £70, Topshop


I love these practically large clutches. The question is which colour? I'm swaying towards the mustard..

Colour Block Clutch Bag, £35, Topshop

This dress is beautiful and if I had the places to wear it, to make it worth £150, I would.

One Shoulder Suede Dress, £150, Topshop


One of the many pointless thoughts to pass through my at times random mind;

We make so many decisions without thinking about them and I'd love to know what this says about us 'on a deeper level'. Let me explain myself a little better; when you go to a restaurant which menu do you look at first? Drinks, starters, mains or desserts? Does it have to go in that chronological order? Personally, the dessert menu grabs me first. When you go to ASOS' 'New In' section do you click on 'Shoes/Accessories' or 'Clothing'? It's shoes and accessories for me every time. Arguably, it's just down to personal preference but like on Friends (Season 5, Episode 22) when they find out truths by answering quick questions with quick answers, it may mean more. Or I could just be reading into things too much.

I've never really been one to ride the vampire wave but September's Rolling Stone cover did excite me a little. Having never watched it I can't really judge but the online excerpt from the article is all about the vampire sex. My newly found impression is that it's more sexy than corny, ergo I may just give them the extra viewer. I know it's old news now but I have only just come to terms with the fact that maybe exceptions can be made for a limited few vampires. In particular, naked ones.

The Latest In Pictures.

The following is an update of my shopping list. Any donations greatly received following my own expenses scandal last weekend in London.

I love this but 'Ruthless' is the word. 'Vamp' will suffice for now until I next feel daring as this is almost black on.

If it makes my room smell good, I'm game. If it makes my room smell of a sickly sweet shop, I'm more game than a deer and pheasant playing a game of tennis.

A Round Up.

Well, what an almighty thud back down to reality that was. The loveliest 5 days away, followed by a somewhat less lovely 4 days back in work. This post is bits from the last week so apologies for how random and fragmented it is. Shall we?


The following are some ASOS magazine inspired finds..

These are 1 of 2 pairs of earrings I picked up from Oxford St's Topshop. I love these for a) being horseshoes and b) looking like something Annina Vogel would produce.

Finally, what do we think of the Passionata ads that are thrusting Bar Refaeli's breasts in our faces at every underground station stopped at or magazine page turned? Without sounding like I'm jealous of her top model status, relationship with Leo or recent Paris Fashion Week attendance, of course.
