I'm pretty sure I first self-diagnosed myself with Alba-itis when I saw 'Honey' (and those abs), which was obviously every teenage girl in the noughties' favourite film - that and Mean Girls (duh). Ever since then I've noticed Jessica's street style cred get better and better, and I'm definitely not alone. Her selfless contribution to best-dressed lists worldwide has enabled her to achieve the current hardcore girl crush status she has!<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Starting off with my favourite look of hers, Jessica caught everyone's eye when she left a Ralph Lauren show in a candy pink midi skirt, cropped black jumper and strappy sandals. Her simple up-do, sparkly earrings and nude lip accessorise this look into the next level of best-dressed lists. Looking like America's sweetheart, never has the word perfection been so well personified!?</span><br />

This look is so easy and understated, but Jessica can pull off just about anything and make it look ridiculously good. Over-sized scarves are something of her trademark, and this casual bad girl outfit is so cool, and very easy to recreate! Black and grey are the subtle grungy tones of the look, but her lime Birkin adds a pop of colour, and those heavy studs add the fashion edge.<br />

This look is so great for its simplicity, and is useful as outfit inspiration for work, going shopping or going out for dinner. On-trend neon peach makes this look stand out, but keeps the rest totally simple with a white shirt, dark jeans and nude wedges.<br />

Yep, there it is again. She even looks fantastic at the beach (unlike some of us, who tend to be frizzy-haired, red-faced horror stories with a patchy burn) with a fringed turquoise kimono, straw hat and minimalist jewellery.<br />

More down days are spent in comfy fabrics with more over-sized scarves to keep it casual and cosy. A palette of white and beige lets her olive skin and brunette locks do the talking as she looks bright, fresh and relaxed.<br />
<br />
Which of these is your favourite look? Whose style are you loving lately?!<br />

</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I'm a teeny tiny bit late in getting round to this, but I feel compelled to cover the fashion weeks properly for A/W '15/'16! New York fashion week ended with a bang thanks to Marc Jacobs on 19th February, and it did not disappoint. There was an overwhelming sexy/modern/working-woman vibe, accessorised by a hell of a lot of dark furs and tartan prints. Monochrome looks took over in all kinds of textures from leather to satin, and the odd splash of tangerine, royal blue or plum added zing to what was really a macabre, vamp-y sexual feel! You were either in tribe hourglass or tribe masculine, with Prabal Gurung flashing us some serious thigh, to the Olsens showing us exactly how to do androgyny. One thing is for certain, New York's winter woman means business.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've rounded up my favourite looks from some of the collections (which was so hard as there were some shows that had it all going on and more - looking at you Zac) and I've attempted to pick looks that show off the season's vibe, summed up that collection in particular, and really said what New York wanted you to hear. Listen up.</div>

Perfume is one of my favourite genres of beauty (if 'beauty' were to have actual genres), and I actually feel undressed if I forget to put it on in a morning! It's the perfect last layer to an outfit, and I pretty much splash a fragrance on for any occasion (even dog walking!). Ok, let's get straight to it before I start waffling...<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Vera Wang 'Princess'</u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLcuK82zqe0EAi4f7kb8y0WeCoaqh4lMMmwmvnTsNoEW_Rz__i33Hlp3cUnK40h-chOsWSuqv9U3FN4qeeE-25uBo0MBxLu9tcUCjkxerbr_8Gu838aPVqTV5wFVV2ampab6pgnZffgw/s1600/blogger-image--870592701.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLcuK82zqe0EAi4f7kb8y0WeCoaqh4lMMmwmvnTsNoEW_Rz__i33Hlp3cUnK40h-chOsWSuqv9U3FN4qeeE-25uBo0MBxLu9tcUCjkxerbr_8Gu838aPVqTV5wFVV2ampab6pgnZffgw/s400/blogger-image--870592701.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br />
First up is Vera Wang's 'Princess'. This beauty has actually been around since 2006, but has already fast-become a modern classic within the tween/young adult market especially, and has provided numerous spin-offs such as 'Princess Flower', 'Princess Night', 'Glam Princess', and most recently 'Princess Power'. I was gifted this 100ml bottle for my birthday last month - I think it'll last for several more years! The original fragrance is a lightweight, day scent of an overwhelming floral aroma, with notes of waterlily, pink guava and chiffon vanilla. It's marketed very much at the glamorous youth of today, and I really love the bottle shape and how the cap is a cute little crown! The main upside to 'Princess' is how wearable this is all year round, and the only downside I found is that its staying power is somewhat lacking disappointingly!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Marc Jacobs 'Daisy'</u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TuSCfC0vA91rA5b5GfN4jMx4McviEj2L5ambFPeWDpAsJ9ddSTbswJGOMAZnrWEMJiTfAptKH9FQQG2C3HsXzWuDYsei6bQqGOjyjPoxZKwJlQbtvSbcpBdZ7eVQNAf1wM4n5y43mQ/s1600/blogger-image-311161028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TuSCfC0vA91rA5b5GfN4jMx4McviEj2L5ambFPeWDpAsJ9ddSTbswJGOMAZnrWEMJiTfAptKH9FQQG2C3HsXzWuDYsei6bQqGOjyjPoxZKwJlQbtvSbcpBdZ7eVQNAf1wM4n5y43mQ/s400/blogger-image-311161028.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br />
Secondly, is Marc Jacobs 'Daisy'. An indisputable classic, this fragrance has been around even less time than 'Princess' and was launched in 2007. I actually received this last Christmas, but this was my absolute go-to perfume in spring and summer this year. Unless you've not read a magazine in seven years, you'll have undoubtedly seen the adverts of natural, earthy-looking carefree models rolling around in grassy daisy fields with a huge version of the bottle in their arms - the bottle design is definitely one of the most recognised in today's perfume market. 'Daisy' has notes of wild strawberries, violet and white woods accord composing its light, youthful, floral scent. One of my favourites, and actually has the exact same pros and cons as 'Princess'!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>DKNY 'Golden Delicious'</u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0nrIAZwPqcCA9cYX07CKkqbmiAeWjhpt9GV_jFo0VG4Ht-SOku-G4fqSor0yizYmjom0PkTnY1v5k3nhx0kcgJwgX6H8VPYgvQ2tzY-lehma6RRUn0rzRoCu25KXwaCFt4VnZCrz2w/s1600/blogger-image--979630662.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0nrIAZwPqcCA9cYX07CKkqbmiAeWjhpt9GV_jFo0VG4Ht-SOku-G4fqSor0yizYmjom0PkTnY1v5k3nhx0kcgJwgX6H8VPYgvQ2tzY-lehma6RRUn0rzRoCu25KXwaCFt4VnZCrz2w/s400/blogger-image--979630662.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next is a version of DKNY's 'Be Delicious', in the form of 'Golden Delicious' which came out quite recently in 2011. (You can also see me in the reflection a little! Hello!) I also received this for Christmas 2012, and it copies the original 'Be Delicious' bottle in the shape of an apple, which I think is so cute in a completely girly way. I have to say firstly that this is sitting at the front of my dresser right now, and has been for some time as I tend to wear this most days of late! This has so many plus points behind it that I can't really find any faults. It's perfect for day-to-night wear, the scent has perfect longevity throughout the day, and is wearable all year round. I also love that this scent is quite unusual and isn't one that everyone has or recognises. There are notes of orange flower, rose and sandalwood making up this fruity, floral fragrance. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><u>Britney Spears 'Radiance'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_EZ_EthyunJRJRXgeLIgEQycM_UGshqf91iLIaDKVGSdcPvuFkG2ZUHH_cZTL21o-hKLRXLBfefpBzgrqU2naBYAEzwqIpg7zDi9_-oIKvzMoUyAgfnOtDPrurr7nuJRxDxLs0dR24A/s1600/blogger-image-1027648034.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_EZ_EthyunJRJRXgeLIgEQycM_UGshqf91iLIaDKVGSdcPvuFkG2ZUHH_cZTL21o-hKLRXLBfefpBzgrqU2naBYAEzwqIpg7zDi9_-oIKvzMoUyAgfnOtDPrurr7nuJRxDxLs0dR24A/s400/blogger-image-1027648034.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now...this next one you might curl your nose up at - but no prejudice! This is Britney Spears' 'Radiance' perfume, and whilst the bottle might not lend itself to marketing the fragrance very well, I absolutely love this scent! The bottle is kind of sweet, and is meant to be 'bejewelled' (hence 'Radiance'...obvs) and this was amazingly cheap for 100ml of fragrance which is actually eau de parfum as well! This actually has a longer staying power than the previous 'Princess' and 'Daisy', and has been created under the Elizabeth Arden brand so the fact that it is good quality doesn't come as too much of a surprise. It's one of her more recent ones having been released in 2010, and is comprised of red berries, tuberose and amber notes. This is great day-to-night fragrance as well, and is very easy to splash on in a morning!</div>

Firstly is the lipstick. I wasn't really setting out to purchase a new lipstick as I'm not a massive lip colour person, and much prefer a nude lip, WHICH it turns out, is why this product suits me so well! It's exactly the kind of thing I was after, but without knowing it. It's a 'glaze' variety lipstick called 'Hue' and is just a pale baby/nude pink, but as it's a glaze, it applies very sheer and also quite shiny. This is perfect for me as I usually just use the tiniest amount of foundation on my lips (as they are naturally so red) and this lipstick adds a lovely moisturising finish to my everyday look! See the swatch and on-the-lips look below..</div>

Next up is this beautiful shimmer blush named 'Trace Gold'. It's not my first shimmer blush I've had from MAC, but I was excited to try out a new colour. This adds a subtle glow and a nice sheen to my cheeks without being too overpowering (unlike the mineralize skinfinishes). I tried to get a good picture of it on my cheeks but just couldn't get the lighting quite right! This can be applied subtly or built up to create a more dramatic look. I know a lot of people prefer a shimmer blush in the evenings, but this is just right for creating that glowing day time look and is very easy to wear! It looks a lot more shimmery in real life than in this picture (lighting issues!).</div>

What do you think of shimmer blushes and/or a nude lip? Are you a super fan of MAC like myself?!<br />

Paris Fashion Week is holding up to be my favourite week of Fashion Month! It has all I wanted and more, from the castaway elegance of Chloé (squeal), to the luxury sophistication of Celine. Some of my all-time fashion brands are French, and S/S '15 did not disappoint!<br />
<br />
This post focuses on my ultimate fav Chloé (title was a giveaway I'm sure) and I've rounded up the looks I love the most, and the ones that also sum up the collection and its vibe this season. Sadly, Chloé's founding lady Gaby Aghion passed away at age 93 a day before the collection premiered, and it was rightfully dedicated to her.<br />

This beautiful broderie-anglaise creation could possibly sum up Chloé in one outfit. It's carefree, youthful, classic and simple, and was the star attraction of the show. WANT. </div>

Then it got a bit darker. There were also a few grey numbers and some other black looks too, but I thought this tunic/skirt was dramatic and elegant and I loved the potentially sexy button down skirt with lace up sandals. Like Chloé's older, brooding sister I guess.</div>

Classic 70s-esque Chloé returns in the form of muted suede mustard jacket/short combos. It actually looks a lot better than it sounds. There was also a more vibrant, billowing mustard dress which enhanced this vibe, too. Lace up sandals appear to be the shoe of the season according to Clare Waight Keller. </div>

This is the epitome of how cool and chic I desire to look when on holiday, and the exact opposite of what I end up looking like in 30 degree heat. I love the models they choose, and the simple hair and makeup Chloé do for their looks. I know it sounds so boring, but it's become such a key element of their branding now, and adds to the whole innocent farm-girl-meets-city-slicker vibe. </div>

The double denim was a theme I couldn't omit from a Chloé round-up post. I was a bit put off when I first saw these looks, but I'm now coming around to them. Denim is such a good fabric, and so comfortable, just awkward to make look good if not in jean form. The only colours I missed out from including in this post were a rich coppery-tan dress and some evergreen numbers, which also billowed in the catwalk breeze. </div>

Which is your favourite look? What do you think of Chloé as a brand?</div>

But it's good to be back! I miss blogging and it's definitely time to start doing things I love again. I had some time away from it again (for no reason in particular apart from life) but I feel like now is the right time to enjoy writing again. </div>

It's technically autumn now. It's slowly getting chillier outside every morning. The shops are already bursting with their autumn collections ready for vulnerable, big-eyed clothes obsessives like myself to delve further into that overdraft/add a bit more to that pesky visa bill.<br />
BUT - the one thing that is everywhere is the modern girl's best friend - denim. It's having a moment, and so am I. I was made for the 90s fashion come back that is happening right now!</div>

I am in love with ripped jeans, but am yet to find that perfect pair anywhere! I'm obsessed with their easy cool vibe and how showing that little bit of thigh in the right place can be just the right amount of skin for autumnal English daily life. Anything that is comfortable to wear and on-trend has got to be a winner, right? (I'm looking at you, crop tops.)<br />

Also on the hot list are boyfriend jeans. Again, I am yet to find a perfect pair (although Topshop were so close!). Best of all is obviously to combine both trends in one pair. Again, even easier to wear than the standard ripped skinny; boyfriend jeans are ridiculously old school cool but you can add that modern twist with a slouchy loose knit jumper/Ray-Bans/midi rings. Worn here with a (albeit studded) strappy shoe has the 90s tween inside me squealing with excitement. Recycled fashion is the best because of the memories a trend can carry (although if my mother comments how she has "several pairs of those somewhere still" once more, I might reconsider).<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I feel like I haven't had time for any of my usual activities in the past couple of weeks, blogging definitely included.. I don't understand why because nothing has been that different! I suppose I haven't really had time to myself, to just check all those boxes. I was walking to my car yesterday evening, absolutely exhausted, and there was a really eerie feeling about the weather.. the wind was a swirling one that kind of stirred all the branches in the upper echelons of the trees and whipped your hair about your face, and the sky was a sunny sort of grey - the kind that looks like something is brewing, casting a peculiar light everywhere. It got me wondering if even the weather is sick of itself, and as if Spring is fighting a battle with a very stubborn Winter, trying to push its way through! I can't remember an Easter time so cold as this one has been. Everyone is more than ready for a Summery shift, hell, even a Spring-y shift will more than do to banish everyone's moods! So, the eternal British question remains - what exactly are you supposed to wear when you cannot stand the sight of another knitted jumper, winter coat or pair of boots but the weather is an ever-resilient 6 degrees celsius? Well, to be quite honest, I've been wearing whatever the heck I want - and paying the price. I can't remember when I last arrived somewhere from walking and wasn't shocking pink from the cold! This may all sound absolutely ridiculous, but I'm beyond caring anymore. Give my my over-sized tees, leather jacket and ballet flats! Hand me my sunglasses, fake tan and lacy tops! I am a British girl sick of the British weather! It really makes me wonder how everyone hasn't just emigrated entirely from places much colder than this all year round. So, enough of the rant-like tone that definitely wasn't intentional but is definitely present...Spring is here. Because I say so. Warmth will return to my limbs, eventually.</span><br />

Sooo.. the latest addition to my perfume collection is probably the most exciting yet - I finally have a bottle of 'Miss Dior'! This perfume has been on the top of my wishlist for SO long now, but it was always that little bit too expensive or seemed that little bit too extravagant to get as a present or buy for myself.. until now!</div>

I got this for Valentine's Day, and there was a 10% off promotion on in Boots at the time on fragrance which was great, and I also offered to put in £10 to get the 50ml size instead of the 30ml (I know it was my present, but I'd rather contribute a tiny bit to get nearly 50% more!). It's such a feminine fragrance that, in my opinion, is kind of a classic now and coveted by many! It was originally 'Miss Dior Cherie' but got renamed 'Miss Dior' for the modern era, and its original that it stemmed from has now become 'Miss Dior Originale' (the 1947 verison) and is a yellowy colour as opposed to the current 'Miss Dior' which is light pink in colour. </div>

It was only launched in 2005, which is ridiculous to think as it has accumulated such a cult status after only a few years! I got the eau de parfum version, but I believe there are also eau de toilette and le parfum versions as well. It has essence of Indian patchouli base notes, Arabian jasmine absolute heart notes, and essence of Italian mandarin top notes according to the <a href="http://www.dior.com/beauty/gbr/en/women_fragrance_and_men_fragrance_by_christian_dio/women-fragrance/miss_dior/miss-dior/y0082200/py0082200-cmissdiorfpl.html" target="_blank">Dior website</a>. They also use phrases such as "bold and elegant" and "timeless chic", which could be translated as classic, noticeable and feminine, all of which I completely agree with. I'm so pleased I finally have a bottle, and I'm so in love with it already!</div>

The packaging is also really cute; the box is a textured pink cardboard with silver script mimicking the bottle, which is a classic cuboid shape with the same script on it and a silver bow for the lid - adorable! Worth the money (it retails at £64 for 50ml at Boots currently) and one that I know I will buy again and again. </div>

Lately, I have been sticking to good old colour blocking nail-wise (mainly due to a lack of time) with my favourite colours du jour, but the other day I spotted these in Primark and couldn't resist! I've heard a lot about nail caviar already as I'm sure you have, and I'm pretty sure it was beauty brand Ciaté that introduced it to the manicure world. It always seemed quite costly (Ciaté's caviar nail varnish and sets are retailing at between £14-£18 on ASOS currently), and I know other brands have interpreted it but it was still similarly priced all the same. That was until I stumbled across a bargain version in good old Primark - with a £2.50 price tag! There was no excuse not to give it a go with that price sticker on it, and I ended up buying two sets as I couldn't decide on one! There was one more colour that I didn't buy which was a silver polish with pink and silver metallic beads, but I ended up with a pearlised white varnish with white beads, and a hot pink varnish with turquoise, pink and various multi-coloured beads! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">They come fully equipped with varnish, beads, funnel and plastic tray in order to get the look, and the idea is to choose which nail(s) you would like your caviar on and paint them with a couple of coats, but before the second one is dry pour the beads on when hovering over the tray so they simply stick to the wet polish. This is kind of messy so I'd advise doing it on a flat surface! I kind of felt like a kid in a primary school art lesson, but it's quite fun! You then simply put the funnel back in the bead pot, and pour your excess beads back in so you don't waste any.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The nail varnish itself won't be winning any awards any time soon, but it could've been worse. It was quite gloopy and I often find it's hard to make metallics look attractive anyway, so that didn't help! It also took way too long to dry in my opinion - give me Barry M anyday! Of course you can match the beads with whatever colours you would like, and I was thinking a nice on-trend pastel pink (or any pastel) would look really good with these pearly beads. It came out better than I thought it would to be honest, but having had them on for a short while, they're falling off when I do anything remotely vigorous which isn't great, but it was expected! 1; because it's Primark, and 2; I'm atrocious at keeping even the hardest-wearing nail polish chip-free! I'd recommend Primark's efforts to anyone wanting to give the trend a go, but if you're really into it and want a lasting look then I'd say fork out the £14 and get Ciaté's version for the quality!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have always loved Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for as long as I can remember; right from when they did that 'It Takes Two' film (anyone else remember that?!), up until the current Elizabeth and James years! Essentially I have grown up with them, even though they're a few years older (making them way more cool when I was thirteen, obviously). I really wanted to do a style post on an Olsen, but picking a twin was way too hard as I love both their styles in different ways! Ashley was always the girlier twin (even when they were ten years old she was always the one dressed in pink, whereas Mary-Kate was dressed more in blues and greens - stalker alert!). I love her more feminine approach to dressing, and she always looks that little bit sleeker than MK. On the other hand though, Mary-Kate's grungier-at-times, slightly more relaxed approach is effortlessly enviable, and makes you wish you could throw on double denim and stacked wrist wear and look just as cool (so far I've just achieved looking a bit homeless). I love how well they complement each other though, and how they've developed such different yet equally desirable fashion sense after being styled identically for most of their lives! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love books as much as I love fashion, so when they combine it's a winning combination in my eyes! Obviously there are thousands of fashion-related books on the market, but I just wanted to post about the ones I own and love, of all varieties. I love reading and collecting books of all kinds, and as I did a degree in English Literature my collection is pretty huge now as you can imagine! Books have gained huge popularity in the fashion world in the past few years, and I did a blog post in 2006 about books starting to emerge within the fashion genre at the time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The first few are non-fiction and 'The Fashion Book' is like an encyclopedia of all important and talented people/designers/brands/photographers/models within the fashion world and is great for covering the basics of their career and how they have made an impact on fashion. 'Style' is an incredibly well-known book from Lauren Conrad and covers the how-to genre. It covers basic style, beauty regime, how to shop tactics all inspired by Lauren's take on things. It is more geared towards teens I feel, but definitely has useful information in there, and as I love Lauren's classic California look, I couldn't pass up on tips on how to look like her! 'Dogs in Vogue' was a Christmas present from my Dad a few years ago. We have a collie/retriever cross, and I love all dogs, and I have been an extremely loyal subscriber to Vogue since 2005 so it couldn't be a more perfect combo! The title is self-explanatory, and this book features all the high end photography that has been in Vogue over the years featuring dogs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The next section I created is less about high end fashion, and is more about the fiction created or inspired as a result of the high fashion world. It's incredibly chick-lit heavy, but great reads all the same. 'Sex and the City' is an obvious classic and is about four women's experiences with men written in a unique style with plenty of fashion talk in between. In the TV series, fashion practically is its own character and features a lot more heavily. 'Gossip Girl' is a book series I loved reading in my late teens and follows the scandalous lives of upper class private-schooled teens in New York City. 'Shopaholic' is also a classic and follows a serial spender and her clothing best friends. 'The Carrie Diaries' is a prequel series to 'Sex and the City' and follows Carrie growing up and moving to New York as she enters the world of fashion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This last section is my favourite and features three books I love that all came about from blogging! 'The Sartorialist' you will undoubtedly have heard of and features all of Scott Schuman's most amazing street-style pictures he has posted on his blog. 'Style Diaries' is an encyclopedia of serious fashion bloggers around the globe and features pictures and descriptions of why you should go and check out their blogs. 'Facehunter', again, is another of the blogging elite and Yvan Rodic's book features all of his best photos from his favourite street style haunts, done in the most creative ways sometimes! More of a fashion-addict's picture book than a real book, but just as great in some ways!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The high street is bursting with new season clothes and accessories now, and it's definitely a welcome change to my wardrobe! Even though the weather is staying resiliently below 5<span style="line-height: 115%;">°C, I think there's no need to stay stuck in winter fashion-wise. Sometimes, when you're having a down day or feeling low, I think a new piece of clothing can really brighten up your mood and make you feel so much better (even if it is a fleeting feeling) and I love the transformation clothes and accessories can have on someone. So in the past few weeks I've been shopping around when I've had a few minutes on lunch breaks and days off, and these are some of the things I've bought! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">As mentioned in the last post, I went into H&M to see which bright jumper I liked best and ended up buying the first one I picked up! I fell in love with it instantly and it's an amazing neon peachy-type colour in an over-sized loose knit. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next, I went to Primark and also saw these shorts as soon as I walked in the door! I'm not sure exactly when I was thinking I could wear them at the moment (haha) but possibly on a night out, or with tights!? If not, they'll just have to stay stashed away until the sun comes out! They're an acid wash ripped/frayed denim with some (really big!) silver studs on the left-hand side and I just thought they were too cool to resist!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I also wanted a turquoise/mint-coloured jumper, and I found this thin one for a really good price also in Primark that I thought was perfect! I bought it in a size up so it would also be slouchy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I saw these boots ages ago but just didn't want to commit at the time! When I realised how much I needed some nice black ankle boots, I finally went ahead and bought them online, as the ones in-store only had a beige heel but I wanted the all-black version. They're perfect for going for a nice meal or drinks, and they're also so comfy which is worth a mention!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm always scouring the pages of Elle and Vogue to see what the trends are for the new fashion season. Whilst I'm not always a huge trend follower, I love to give them a go, and sometimes I find you can discover a trend that you end up in love with! The stud/biker chic trend that is everywhere (and appears to be going nowhere) was a huge success when I eventually gave it a go! One of the trends for Spring/Summer '13 appears to be neon brights. I usually only love a neon bright in the heat of the Summer (ie. on holiday!) and as the snow is still melting outside, it's putting me out of my fashion comfort zone pulling out the acid green nails in January! Nonetheless, I love a challenge and I'm going to give it a try. If you are not so brave like me, a flash of neon (as opposed to an entire rainbow-effect outfit) can be the easy way to go, such as a bright pink clutch, a fluorescent yellow hat, or an orange shoe! Inspiration can be found aplenty on the catwalk at the S/S '13 shows. From sixties chequered sunshine yellow at Louis Vuitton, to two-toned coral and aqua blue at DVF, and dip-dyed hot pinks and turquoises at Burberry Prorsom, there's no end to the bright hues the designers have decided we'll be donning this season! My favourite is the hot pink trench - Christopher Bailey has reinvented the Burberry classic in a whole rainbow of different shades to great effect.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Where the high street is concerned, I've already spotted a few neon numbers in the new season collections! H&M have an array of neon jumpers that are all completely affordable; the one I found below comes in at least five different shades - buy a size up and wear it slouchy with statement jewellery. Topshop have a 'Rave New World' collection on their <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=435494&parent_categoryId=208499&beginIndex=1&pageSize=20" target="_blank">website</a> dedicated to the rave trend, which of course involves fluorescent colours - this is great if you need inspiration. I love the lime green jumper I've featured below, and I think it'll look amazing with a deeply tanned inch of waist on show and some bleached/acid wash skinnies. Zara are always fashion-focused and I struggle to find something I don't like in there! They have a selection of bright trousers on offer for the trend; I've picked two different pairs to show in neon pink and orange which can be made really wearable with a pair of plain ballet flats and a plain, loose fitting shirt, as shown below!</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As for accessories, there are plenty of high street offerings. To warm you into a trend, or to see if you enjoy wearing bright colours, these can be a more accessible way of wearing fluorescents! Nails Inc. have a selection of neon-coloured crackle effect nail polishes which will look great over a black or white nail. River Island's satchel just has neon features incorporated into it which is a really subtle way of channeling the trend. However, their heeled buckle shoes a definitely more of a statement for the braver ones amongst the crowd! The Topshop beanie is cute and not too overbearing, and will be great for brightening up those chilly English days I was talking about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Also worth a mention for the more high-end shopper/day-dreamer is the <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?x=0&storeId=10052&llc=dn&freeText=BRIGHT+NOW&y=0&langId=-1&catalogId=12151" target="_blank">Selfridges & Co. website</a> which has a 'Bright Now' section; great for a luxurious example of the trend (and also makes for amazing eye candy)! After writing this post, I'm so much more in love with the trend than I ever thought I could be, and I'm definitely going to buy one of those H&M jumpers when pay day finally rolls around! I think neon/bright colours are all about adding a shocking pop of colour, having fun, and being young - and they're a perfect antidote to winter's dominating blacks and plums.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This post is about Benefit's 'Ultra Plush' lip gloss range. I received a gift set with all six glosses in for Christmas, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to do a post about them! I think Benefit have a reputation for doing amazing lip glosses so I was excited to try these as soon as I opened them! Benefit have matched the colours of the glosses to their famous 'Box o' Powders' which I think is a great idea as people love Benefit's powders and the different colours/textures of each one, so now they can buy the gloss to match their favourite! There's 'Dandelion' (soft pearly pink), 'Dallas' (dusty rose), 'Sugarbomb' (shimmering pinky nude), 'Coralista' (sheer coral), 'Bella Bamba' (sheer bright watermelon), and 'Hoola' (shimmering golden nude). I've tried all the powders previously and my favourite is either 'Coralista' or 'Sugarbomb', so I was interested to see how well the glosses matched and how they came out. I'm not sure this specific gift set is available anymore as it may just have been for Christmas, but the glosses are all available to buy individually for £13.50/15ml online and at counters. I love the size of the miniatures as it makes them perfect for fitting in my everyday makeup bag or in a clutch on a night out! First impressions were that they apply well, aren't too sticky or heavy, and are a good match for their powder counterparts! I'm most impressed by 'Coralista' for being true to the powder, however I was surprised by how pink 'Dallas' was as I expected it to be far more of a dark bronze, but I actually love the colour itself! My favourite turned out to be 'Dandelion' as it was just such a gorgeous shimmery nude colour with amazing shine that I thought would be so versatile. The application isn't by a wand but straight from the squeezable tubes by the custom applicator which makes it less precise than a wand, but I love how the applicator is angled which makes them less fussy and easy to apply. Overall, I was very impressed as I expected to be with Benefit and love that I have a few new shades of lip gloss I didn't already own! Definitely pick one up if you were thinking of buying one - 'Sugarbomb' is a great light pink for spring! </span><br />

I love how fragrance has the power to take you back to a place or a memory, or remind you of a certain person or time of year. I worked on a perfume counter when I was eighteen as a Saturday job, and that's when I really noticed perfume properly and fell in love with it forever! My earliest memory of perfume is of my Mum, as she always wears Jean Paul Gaultier's 'Classique' - it holds such a strong connection to her that whenever I smell it that I can't disassociate her from it in my mind! This post is about my favourite scents that I've discovered in the past few years.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1. The first one is 'Chloé' by Chloé. I received this from my boyfriend a few years ago for my birthday. Chloé has been my favourite fashion house since I've been about fifteen so I was really excited to try their original scent when it came out. As soon as I smelled it, I loved it. I'd hinted about it before my birthday, and luckily it was picked up on! It reminds me of visiting him at university as I always used to pack it in my weekend bag. It's a quite distinctive, feminine, floral fragrance with a base note of honey; rose heart notes; and top notes of lychee. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2. My next favourite in my collection is 'Stella' by Stella McCartney. Similarly to Chloé, Stella McCartney was one of my favourite designers and so I was very keen to try the signature scent. I got this one for a Christmas present a couple of years before 'Chloé'. I've had it for so long now, but I've made it last because I love it so much that I don't want it to run out! It's such a unique fragrance and I think it's one of those ones that I'll always have to have a supply of! It is also floral, with amber base notes; rose absolute heart notes; and rose, peony and mandarin essence top notes. This one reminds me of winter time, and is my favourite winter scent. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7uxy5TzjXiDMa093ySUORJNOGKKKAJ8yXEuzST7TgfumiiY4KZxPGq4-NrJv8ZswBPTvjqvHyxT8_2oWdQRador3tCORtpZ4T2nAKSZbdtlfORfC6g-N37hXtkBd3tPg0fS47_KZScw/s1600/blogger-image--2102042188.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="479" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7uxy5TzjXiDMa093ySUORJNOGKKKAJ8yXEuzST7TgfumiiY4KZxPGq4-NrJv8ZswBPTvjqvHyxT8_2oWdQRador3tCORtpZ4T2nAKSZbdtlfORfC6g-N37hXtkBd3tPg0fS47_KZScw/s1600/blogger-image--2102042188.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3. Next up is 'Le Parfum' by Elie Saab. This is another fragrance I asked my boyfriend for and he got me it as a present! It's quite a feminine, sensual, sweet, floral scent that lasts all day long. I love this perfume so much and it reminds me of my birthday/Autumn time. This one has base notes of rose and honey; gardenia heart notes; and top notes of mandarin blossom. One woman even stopped me at work when I was wearing this and asked what fragrance I was wearing since she liked it that much! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbPa-7dkuCPppJT2JnKceakR7a_68iW_9-7XyUR4U4oPryfr6X9-yUX9BhF4YEt5NiEphNDoLDv9BulOls535g5MvbjhbXJxfEwO9VD6VbocI1k1q-D7BpOOzlwRW4DnCAwWSFtDTsWQ/s1600/blogger-image-285355908.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="479" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbPa-7dkuCPppJT2JnKceakR7a_68iW_9-7XyUR4U4oPryfr6X9-yUX9BhF4YEt5NiEphNDoLDv9BulOls535g5MvbjhbXJxfEwO9VD6VbocI1k1q-D7BpOOzlwRW4DnCAwWSFtDTsWQ/s1600/blogger-image-285355908.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">4. 'Golden Delicious' by DKNY is my most recent fragrance, which I got for the Christmas just gone. I got the eau de parfum version (which almost all of my perfumes are) and it's so long lasting from just one spray which I think is excellent value for money! It's fruity and more floral than the original 'Be Delicious'. It has base notes of musk, sandalwood and beachwood; heart notes of white rose, casablanca lily and vanilla orchid; and top notes of orange flower water and golden apple. I haven't had time to see what this one brings up memories of yet but I'm sure it'll be winter/Christmas time (maybe spring) seeing as I'm wearing it all the time lately!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5. I discovered Burberry's 'The Beat' when I was eighteen working on that fragrance department, and I don't think it's a very well known fragrance and doesn't have the recognition I think it deserves! It's very rich and fruity/floral again, and is quite young. Along with 'Stella', it's one of the more heavier fragrances in my collection. It has base notes of light musk, vetiver and cedar; heart notes of cardamom, pink pepper and mandarin; and top notes of ceylon tea, bergamot, iris and bluebell. Complex! This is my second bottle of this one as I had to replace it because I love it so much, so I asked my mum for another 50ml for my birthday. It reminds me of spring/easter time as that's when it came out and I wore it constantly when I first bought it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6. 'Dior Addict 2' by Christian Dior is my party fragrance! I've had this once since I was about seventeen and I think this is my third bottle. It reminds me of going on holiday and nights out, as I went on a clubbing holiday in 2007 and wore this every night! It has apparently been relaunched as 'Dior Addict Eau Fresh' (but I still have the '2' version) and instead of grapefruit as a top note, there's bergamot instead. This is a fresh, fruity kind of fragrance and is quite seductive and girly. It has white musk base notes, heart notes of grenadine and freesia, and citrus top notes as I've just mentioned!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">7. Calvin Klein's 'CKIN2U For Her' is such a light-hearted, fun fragrance. This is my summer fragrance and reminds me of the heat - I've taken this on holiday with me the last few years. I find a lot of girls love this scent and it's a very popular one! It's perfect for those hot summer nights and those days when you don't want something too overwhelming but you want to smell amazing. It has neon amber base notes, sugar orchid heart notes and pink grapefruit top notes. I find this perfume is always great value for money so is a great everyday fragrance. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">8. Lastly, I have Hollister's 'So Cal' perfume, which I'm not sure if they directly make anymore, but it's available on a lot of websites still. I couldn't find specific product information for this one, but I think the base notes are amber, and the rest is quite floral. It really smells amazing! It's very beachy (as you'd expect) and very girly and sensual. This reminds me of visiting my boyfriend again, but slightly more recently! He bought me this one, too, for my 20th birthday.</span><br />

Why I used a completely random email address and password I'll never know, and now I'll never know what they are! After making this blog six years ago, it's my new year's resolution to use it properly!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So...we are heavily into winter chic now, to the point where summer can really not come quick enough! What's a girl to do when it's 0 degrees outside, yet short sleeves are calling?! The sales are coming to a close, the panic bargain buying is almost at an end, and you can smell the spring high street collections coming! Of course in high <i>fashion</i> land they are well into the swing of summer, and will no doubt have wrapped up next year's A/W '13 lines which is a depressing thought. Fashion is so ahead of itself now more than ever, it'll end up doing a complete 360 degrees and we'll soon be in next summer's clothes, this summer! So, the dilemma is, what to wear when you need a flash of pillar box red instead of burgundy, and you need a jacket instead of your heavy duty (but chic, of course) puffer jacket? Well look no further, I am also keen for a change! This week I scrubbed off my Revlon 'Vixen' nail varnish for a coat of Barry M's 'Berry Ice Cream' to brighten up my finger tips. I got out my white and cream jumpers for a fresh flash of brightness (whilst keeping warmth) instead of my black and grey ones, and I started accessorising more with warmer-looking gold necklaces and bracelets - I had become so involved in the practicalities of being warm in this dreadful cold, looking good was starting to take a major hit! A flash of bright pink lip was also kept me on-trend, but contrasted against the plums and deep reds that had taken over, proving that bright lipstick is an instant pick-me-up for the winter blues! Are you starting to get sick of the sales and the cold now? What are your seasonal transition pieces and tricks?</span><br />

You know when you just get a fashion craving? I know there's a lovely one in Primark currently, but sadly there's not a store I can visit soon! I'll have to wait, but in the meantime there's gorgeous ones from Warehouse, Asda Direct (I know!) and Abercrombie that I've found online for eye candy! I was disappointed to find good old Topshop did not have one in at the moment. But nonetheless, they're so cute and a definite summer must-have for your wardrobe.<br />

Yes! And Topshop's is here to stay. Starting last year in February 2009 when fashion blogs were in the height of being oh-so fashionable themselves, '<a href="http://insideout.topshop.com/">Inside-Out</a>' devotes itself to recording what's going on in the world, what the staff get up to behind the scenes, and generally what inspires them at Topshop. They encourage readers to get involved with what they're saying and finding out about most recently. It's a great way to get onto a more personal level with the brand and the blog speaks to shoppers and fashion enthusiasts like a very cool, fashionable and informed best friend. Check it out for yourselves!<br />

I fell in love with it when I was only fifteen and Phoebe Philo ruled the roost, and my loyalty hasn't budged since. What first struck me was the colour palette of the fashion house which tends to center around all different shades of nude. The clothes looked so classic and chic to teenage me, that I formed a personal love of beige as a result! I associate the colour with the clean lines of the Chloé label; the sleekness of the pieces they bring out; and the look of effortless refined glamour as demonstrated perfectly by Raquel Zimmerman in the most recent advertisements (as pictured below on the catwalk). Speaking of the campaigns, I think every season's since 2005 is plastered on my walls! There is a definite mix of a 70s/80s/90s vibe about the label that I just cannot get enough of. This A/W '10 season is no exception, and seems to embody mostly elements of the 70s. Clothes are on the rise with high polo neck jumpers, high waisted trousers, and long sweeping, large-collared coats. Aliona Doyetskaya of Russian Vogue said during Paris Fashion Week: "I think it's incredibly important in these times, designers <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> go back to their DNA, or the DNA of the brand they work for". This could not be truer in my opinion, and I feel this is exatly what Hannah MacGibbon has done this season. She also has the bonus of Chloé's signature 'DNA' camel/nude colours being exactly the 'in' palette plucked as the chosen favourite by Vogue, Elle, et al. The magazines are demanding for the public to consider nude as a serious colour in its own right, and Chloé proves head-to-toe camel can be no problem. Here are some of my favourite looks from the collection:<br />

Diana Farkhullina in grey trouser suit with high neckline and waistline.<br />
Black loafers complete the look.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
By my selections it looks as if all Chloé have are trousers this season but that is definitely not the case. Shift dresses, over-sized shorts and leather skirts also made up the thirty-three looks that went down the runway. These are just simply some of my most favoured looks!<br />

Thanks to the switchover thing where you have to have a google account, I've lost whatever username or email thing I made however many years ago, and I'm so annoyed! I loved the title of the old one. I made this one quite a while ago too, to replace it, but I never used it!<br /><br />Depression and annoyances aside...I think I might start posting again.<br /><br />xo.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14137989270192262913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48290668605470790.post-75919505096013411602007-10-29T12:29:00.000-07:002007-10-29T12:47:38.021-07:00Fashion's New DirectionI've been thinking (and along with that I also retracted my LCF descision), that I do not like the way fashion is going. First, it was starting to become uncool for a model to be smoking in pictures (thank god that quickly ebbed away - I'm so sick of this anti-smoking thing, and I don't even smoke!); then fur was a huge issue and some designers stated firmly that no dead animal was to be seen parading down their catwalk (despite the fact about twenty odd cows were going up and down in various forms of luxury leather handbags); and then this whole skinny issue with models, with it becoming official with Karl Lagerfeld banning a model from a show in the last season because she was too thin! Not that I'm <em>for</em> anerexia or anything, but for God's sake, I wish everyone would shut up and just let be!<br />End of thoughts/rant for today.. cough.<br /><br />xo.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14137989270192262913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48290668605470790.post-34939660909472048712007-10-04T15:02:00.000-07:002010-08-10T13:52:15.456-07:00There today, gone tomorrowLost is the password to my <a href="http://www.fashion-fabulous.blogspot.com/">old blog</a>, so onto bigger and brighter things!
