Wahey! Wah nails comes to Topshop!!

In the run up to LFW, whether you're going to the shows or just hitting the shops, get fab and funky customised nails as Wah Nails hits Topshop!
The amazing nails boutique hailing from Dalston that the Christopher Kane models are going mad over:
You can actually bring a moodboard of a designers collection along for inspiration & the nail artist will create nail art individual to you!
My personal fave is leopard, though the nautical strips with a dash of red polkadots is also quite tempting...I could go all out mad & alternate each finger??! Then again maybe not.

Book now below & go experiment at topshop@wah-nails.com

Transfer a bit of Chanel onto your body!

Taken straight from their Spring/Summer catwalk collection, Chanel are offering a tattoo service exclusive to Selfridges stores! All the fashionistas out there ready for their next temporary fashion fix will find that luckily it is ofcourse that, temporary.


The tattoos look fab as a necklace on your decolletage or as seen above as a cute garter (perhaps if we lived somewhere hot). I'm geting myself on the list but staying safe, sticking to the neckline or arm for one of these.

One to watch: Rox

I'm one for supporting homegrown, UK talent & love Rox's musical style. A singer from South London, shes a cross between Corinne Bailey Rae & Lilly Allen (in my opinion) her records are catchy-check 'I don't believe' below, damn cool (in the form of 'Distant Dreams') & just true to life.




Definately good tunes for the coming summer in the pub/park etc.

YSL takes it to the streets

The 6th edition of the YSL Maifesto is coming to London next weekend! Throughout fashion weeks worldwide this February, YSL has launched their Spring/Summer collection publication - its Manifesto. Under the creative direction of Stephano Pilatti - their chief in-house designer, Innes van Landsveerde & Vinoodh Matadin photograph the gorgous Natalie Vodianova (love her!), the face of the campaign.
Check out the sneeky peak video in all its fashion drama below.
Thanking you, YSL for using Florence & the the Machine music.



Anyway, the point is, 2,000 are being given out around London town next weekend with what I really want from this...the limited edition strawberry canvas bag, the reason to go on the hunt!


I should really keep this to myself if I want a chance of one of them but visit http://www.yslmanifesto.com/ to find out where to go.

Good Luck!

Hello Maam!


Ok so it looks like a bra & is advertised in the 'lingerie' section but I like to think of it as an 'outer-bra'.
Pretty, feminine, and bright on a dreary, dark morning (notably Mondays, the start of the working week). Worn OVER a tee (for play), or sheer blouse (for office), though peaking through under a blouse could be a good look. Either way you decide, think of yourself as the naughty librarian, no ounce of flesh on show, just a hint to frivolity!
Librarian chic hear I come! And at only £20 (Urbanoutfitters.com), I'm keeping the faith, the Alexa bag fund will not be broken into!

Welcome! Salut! Mushi Mushi!

Welcome to my blog! After months of contemplating and indecisiveness, it really was as simple as just having the time to sort it all out. An amalgation of fashion & music - the two crazy clashes in my life that have made me so indecisive in career choices that i'm hoping this will satisfy my love of the two, blur the boundaries & encourage me to experiment with both industires more!
Enough of the rant, enjoy!
