All That Glitters.

We are back to the time of year where sparkle is everywhere and the internet is awash with people either looking forward to, moaning about, or selling staff Christmas parties. We at Topshop had ours the other Sunday which I am sure went down like most; good but the hype surrounding it always surpasses the actual event. Below are a few festive party dresses which I think would look a treat with some Christmas sparkle.

Velvet Dress By Boutique, £125, Topshop

Limited Edition Black Embossed Wool Dress, £545, Kirsty Doyle

Cream Texture Roses Shift Dress, £50, River Island

Premium Pale Blue Snow Jewel Dress, £60, Topshop

Harriet Dress, £149, Reiss

Selena Skater Bandage Dress, £195, Whistles

Spade Mini Dress, £115, Aqua 

No Longer Secret Secrets.

I'm always surprised at how many people haven't heard of Postsecret. For those who this applies to, 'Postsecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard'. It sounds far more emotionally detached than it actually is. Be them happy, sad, funny, rude, angry, shocking, aspirational or heart-warming, they're all there. The secrets on http://www.postsecret.com/ are updated every Sunday and I have been a religious follower for years now with several of their books too (which make fab coffee table books). Anyone who has been introduced to this by myself has been pleasantly surprised and maybe you will be too...

My Books;

A jewellery range (which until recently has not been available in the UK) has arrived at ASOS. My accessory prayers were answered when Dogeared jewellery was on the ASOS newsletter that arrived in my inbox. Their stuff is cute, dainty and ideal for presents. I bought the following TINY earings and bracelet for a total of £127 (I got 2 bracelets - 1 for me & 1 for my boyfriend) so as moreish as they are, I won't be expanding my collection in a hurry.

I spent most of yesterday at a photoshoot for Kirtsy Doyle's new collection which, whilst fun, was potentially financially disasterours. See http://www.kirsty-doyle.com/ for her amazing creations and I'll let you know when the new collection is up.

Tee And Tequila.

Last night was the launch party of a fab new unisex t-shirt range called Modern Love, courtesy of Matthew Moore. The tee's are versatile, edgy and most importantly addictively collectable. You can see more for yourself at http://www.modernlove.eu/.

Santa Chupitos supplied the cocktails, Kirsty Doyle the venue, Ragz the music, Studio 2 the quiz (which we only went and won) and all of which were fantastic. The night continued into Liverpool's bars, not that I lasted long, and a good time was had by everyone involved. I'm arguably biased with regards to the tee's, as those with a good eye will see I modelled for them, but that doesn't mean that I, as another spend-happy shopper like yourself, wouldn't love them just as much.

A busy couple of weeks ahead (before my birthday) which can only mean one thing. Lists. The main/obvious ones would be lists of things to do today, tomorrow, before the end of the week, things to remember, people to speak to or e-mail, things to buy, things to do while I'm in town, websites, birthday plans, etc. and yes the list could go on and each one could be made into twenty more detailed lists. But these would mean nothing if it weren't for the King of Lists; the list of lists which need to be made. Call me OCD, I wouldn't say you were lying.
