Est. 25th November 1989

Last Thursday I turned 21 and I have been thoroughly spoilt and had the most special birthday. Most importantly getting to spend it with all my favourite people.  I thought I would share some of the highlights:

I am finally the proud owner of a Mulberry Bayswater eeek! My collection has finally begun. Highlights include my very own Rachel Zoe card from my lovely friend Amy and my skull charm bracelet, the japanese teppanyaki restaurant I visited with my family and all the amazing gifts I recieved.  I have been such a lucky girl!

Twenty One...

This weekend I celebrated (slightly early) my 21st Birthday with my best friends from university.  I was thoroughly spoilt and had lots of little surprises, including getting a YSL make over, lots of presents including a Pandora charm and taken to an amazing bar overlooking Manchester and its pretty lights.  We had cocktails, champagne, dancing and giggles... it was Perfect!

Me:

Dress - Mango

Shoes - New Look

Bracelet - Pandora

Nails - Barry M

Make Up - YSL

Ellen:

Here are a select few photo's from the night.  I finally managed to find a dress after much pandemonium! But I am so happy that I ended up with this one, even if I was worried I looked like Big Bird! I decided to go with a variation to the LBD and wasn't dissappointed.  I've wanted a feather dress for ages and so this one from Mango was perfect!

Hope you like it!

Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor...

I haven't posted for a while due to being super busy! This week I have been compiling men's and women's SS11 Trend reports at work, which has been really fun.  Hopefully, I will get around to posting about my favourite looks from the Paris Fashion week shows.

Quick post to show off two recent purchases, my berry purple lipstick from MAC and my silver cross ring from Urban Outfitters.

Lipstick: MAC in "Hang Up"

Ring: Urban Outfitters

Top: H&M

Staples

I don't really have a very good camera at the moment or anyone to take pictures for me for outfit posts.  Which is a shame because I think  they help make some of the best blogs around.

So, I decided to play around with my computer webcam and some of my wardrobe staples at the moment.

This is the result...

Khaki Jersey Top + Faux Fur Stole H&M

This khaki top is amazing fitted but baggy at the same time, so comfy and vesatile.  As is my faux fur stole, a recent purchase, such a useful part of my wardrobe.  It instantly makes a plain outfit more interesting and keeps you warm! I do love a bit of fur!

Nude Wedges - New Look. 

I originally bought these at Easter and wore them with everything, such a good colour, more mink that nude, and sooo comfortable.  I lost them in my suitcase and was devastated! But luckily New Look brought them back again recently so dashed to buy them straight away.

Leopard Print fur coat - H&M

Bought this beaut in this summer in the sale, it was a bargain!  It is sooo soft, cannot help but stroke it whilst I'm wearing it! It reminds me of Edie Sedgwick, (who I adore)especially because of the 60's style cut. 

Hope to show you some more of my wardrobe soon...

Bittersweet

I have been super crazy busy all summer as I am interning at a PR agency in London, so don't have much time.  I am absolutely loving it though and really am learning so so so much and having amazing experiences! I love working in London.

Last weekend my girlfriends from uni came to stay in London and we had a well deserved girly weekend catching up on each others lives! We spent all day in Camden and then went out in the evening.

It was such a lovely weekend. However, it was bittersweet as I left my suitcase on the train :( Its my worst nightmare... I have lost so many things! My new French Connection dress, my two pairs of favourite shoes, all my favourite clothes, my trusty black mesh dress, my scarves AND my Michael Kors watch given to me for my birthday from my boyfriend. I'm still hoping that it will be found as it the lost property system takes ages :(

However I am trying to stay positive!!! Here are a few (happier) pictures from the weekend....

I couldn't imagine anything worse!!!

Lift Photos are a tradition of ours!

Make a Wish

Today I assisted on my first photoshoot.  My sister competes in teen pageants and decided to create a Pageant Girl calendar to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation.  The whole photoshoot was organised by her and I was there to assist on the day.  I assisted with directing the photographs, make up, creating props, sorting out set locations and helping with outfits.  Originally I was supposed to be styling the girls but due to lack of organisation (not me!) and time I was unable to properly style the girls! So although the outfit choices are not my own, I feel it let the girls be themselves and therefore result in a better end photo! I cannot wait to see the edited photos, especially the ones that are having the backgrounds superimposed. 

Here are a few of my sneak behind the scenes shots... sorry for the poor quality but they were taken on my Blackberry. 

The Photographer was Neil Ednie who runs lots of pageants including Miss & Miss Teen Beauty Queen.  All the girls are aged between 14-18 and take part in a variety of pageants throughout the UK. Each month had a theme e.g. October - Halloween, June - Festivals, February - Valentines.

I had such an amazing time and look forward to working on more shoots! Cannot wait to share the final images and look out for a Make the Wish Pageant Calendar coming soon to a store near you!
