Back, Bad And Bulletproof

Hello folks !!!!!!!! Sorry for the big slow down in posting but the exams are zooming up a bit too fast !!!!!!!
Well with the rough week I had I decided how much better it would have been if i had came home to these...




They are Marc Jacobs S/S 2008 and I don't care if they could be ridiculously uncomfortable because they are too damn quirky for that to actually matter!!!!!



I'm pretty sure these are would have cheered me up too ...



More Marc ....
Now these are just too cute, mice, on shoes, SERIOUSLY !!!!!!! (That was a good "SERIOUSLY" not a bad "SERIOUSLY" - just so you know!!!)


Well at least now you know what do to when you feel sad !!!!!

Up, Up And Away !!!!!!

Now I am so pleased that summer is finally starting to get here !!!!! Holidays and sun !!!! At last !!!!! Unfortunately this means exams for me which may mean a slight slow down in posting (grumble/groan)

So I found a fabulous jewelery collection by a personal favourite of mine, Van Cleef and Arpels. I think this collection is perfect for the summer months ahead !!!!!

The collection entitled "Journee au Paris" is all about youth and summer romance. "Where is this magical land of romance and beauty ?" I hear you ask, why the hometown of romance and Van Cleef and Arpels, Paris of course!!!

It's all very light and simple but very beautiful which is really the essence of summer style at the moment

You can watch the video for the collection on youtube or on the iphone app. The video kind of explains everything much better than i can!!!!

So for now avoir mon ami !!!!!!!

(See I DO listen in french !!!)

Hey There, I Like Your Hair

So new hair cut people!!! Very exciting and to me very short (to you probably not so much but my hair used to be down to my waist!!!!).

So this got me thinking about some of lady gaga's hairstyles...

Although I don't always agree with her taste in fashion or what she does or err...forms with her hair I do respect her fearlessness. Plus you have to admit some or those hairstyles are pretty darn cool. I also respect her ability to sit still while someone does her hair like that I mean that must take hours !!!

The Althletes of God ...

OK so this post is inspired by the fabulous art of ballet. mainly because I'm currently writing this after spending the whole of last week either hiding backstage or siting in a dressing room breathing in hairspray at a dance competition. (big well done to everyone at Mrs Conn's DA!!!) I hope this explains the extream lack of posting recently !!! Sorry about that !!!!

So i was thinking about dance in fashion and then I found some pictures by Tim Walker (below).

I thought these were so magical (again with my love of Alice In Wonderland)



I'm pretty sure these are all Dolce and Gabbana

Hello Moschino

J. Mendel

Alberta Ferretti

I love seeing reflections of dance in fashion because both worlds are so surreal !!!

I guess I can only dream of one of these being my next costume !!!!

a pigeon on the runway there's something you don't see at chanel

So on Wednesday I was at Magners Light fashion shows where the evening didn't get off to a great start with the pigeons in st George's market and the freezing cold. But thankfully the Andy Warhol silk dress i was wearing kept me pretty warm. i should think that by now everyone should know that my camera is prone to having little nervous breakdowns so i don't have any pictures of what i was wearing but i can tell you it involved a gorgeous pair of red platformed heels, and a red and black lulu Rose bow hair clip bigger than my head.

I won't bore you with all the details but let us say that the magic of Paris was lost at this show.

However the evening did get slightly better when I purchased a vintage hounds tooth design dress !!!!!! (Yet again there will be some pictures soon as due to the mental health problems of my camera)

But the dress did make me think of Moschino fall 2009 which ever since i saw the collection i have been looking for something that made me think of my love for the 1920's and my love of this one of my all time favourite collections.

I was actually surprised by how my the dress I bought was like the one in the ad campaign except it is round necked. Apart from that it is pretty similar (except I'm not that skinny!!!!!)

How very odd darlings,how very ODD !!!!

Now you know I am all for bringing you all the weird, wonderful and everything in between so I spotted these shoes designed by Ronaldo Frago and I thought I just had to share them with everyone !!!! (the trainers are made out of cardboard but my favourite are the Hot Wheels aren't they cute !!!!)

Why Is A Raven Like A Writing Desk ?

So a few days ago I was meant to go to the gym but to cut a long story short I choked on a nut in history class and ended up going to see Alice in Wonderland at the cinema with my dad. Now I have to say that I have always been fascinated with the story of "Alice In Wonderland" & "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There" so I was really excited when the film came out and it did not disappoint !!!

But what this post is really about is when I was watching the film how much I loved the costumes and how they were made part of the story. There was one particular costume, the red and black dress, that I thought was very Alexander McQueen & Betsy Johnson. I also loved some of the other characters costumes too because the costumes were really part of it all !!!

But before I go I have to ask if anyone knows why a raven is like a writng desk ???
