One of my FAV summer trends CoLoUr bLoCkInG

I just love wearing black on every occasion it make me happy, look slender, chic, intense and so much more. But the multicolour rainbow of the colour blocking trend seems to have hypnotised me, I'm now considering living the rest of my life in Technicolor. (Huh so this is what cheating feels like)
Don't be scared of this trend you can either embrace it totally by wearing blocks of colour or add accents of colour to your outfits, this could include anything from belts, shoes, bags, make-up and of course items of clothing.

Have a look at the designers interpretation of this trend, don’t blame me if you rush out to buy a bright item of clothing, FYI the high street is offering so much give a go.

Naughty naughty! Where Have you hiding

Step one: press play, let your feet do the rest.

WARNING THIS IS SERIOUS TWO STEP AND SING INTO YOUR HAIR BRUSH MUSIC!!!

Step two: Apologise!

I haven’t been updating recently, somehow life has taken my abilities to talk (ok that’s a lie) let alone type (I haven’t looked at my blog or even made my daily visits to other blogs), I’m all about the action lately, and by that I mean I’ve just been caught up with toooo many things! So what have you been doing since our paths last crossed?

Step three: Update blog

Does winter mean you have to be boring? Apparently the designers in New York seem to think so. I usually look forward to NYFW but this year it is just so dreary (fingers crossed LFW will be captivating). Some of my fav designers really lacked that special something, so I’ll group em up and call them collectively the let-down collections. I’ll have to turn the other way and pretend I didn’t see these. Bear with me I’m still playing catch up with the shows so this is a premature judgement, the best kind right…right?

Step four: Double take

Victoria beckham’s collection was actually really good, like really good! I’m amazed I said that, in all honesty I never really liked her style so I really didn’t pay attention to her previous collections, I am honestly shocked I am even writing anything about VB in my blog, but all credit to her. This collection was a breath of colourful air, the clothes weren’t so structured more relaxed silhouettes and somewhat modest. Cute cap sleeves, full length dresses, she really has used fabrics cleverly here, check out the neck-lines and the caps, seriously giddy right now. I actually couldn’t imagine seeing her in these clothes it seems she does have a particularly woman in mind (I normally hate that phrase) I could see Audrey Hepburn wearing these with her ballet pumps on park avenue or equally a native new Yorker down on the lower east side having Sunday brunch. I was a cynic but this collection has changed my mind, you have a look and let me know what you think?

Step five: Back to two stepping yepieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee oh the music you listening is the new offering my Beth ditto. Now dance, sing and act like a kid!

its been a while: Enjoy the craftmanship of the pre fall McQueen collection.

dont try and f*** with this sh**

I have to share this amazing AAAAMAZING TUNE with you. I'm obsessed, so plz tell someone to tell someone to tell someone so this can be HUUUGE.

final destination

So this is the final instalment of my beauty trends for spring/summer 2011. Today it’s all about HAIR

Hair styles on the runway were retro and relaxed or minimal and polished, big bejewelled hair accessories played a key role this season. You what the strangest thing was this season frizzy hair, normally we buy lots of products to avoid this but many models on the runways sported frizzy hair styles, in other words don’t fight the frizz coz frizz is our friend!
