The accessories edition!

THE ACCESSORIES EDIT

Hey y'all,

So I was thinking to myself this week that I need to add more consistency to the blog, so I've decided to keep things simple yet effective (much like a Saint Laurent collection!) by doing a weekly list of the top 5 things on my wishlist. (Christmas is nearly here guys so who knows, maybe Santa will be extra kind to me this year!)

5) Acne Studios Cardholder- Recently I've been feeling very affectionate towards Acne Studios and I find myself wanting everything from their website. Whilst browsing, I saw this chic card holder and well, everybody needs a place to hold all their cards.







4) Moncler chunky knit wool hat - Being London based, the weather here is pretty bipolar. One minute you're slapping on the sun-tan lotion and before you know it, you're wrapped up in your Christmas jumper your nan knitted you, but hold the phone, I think this Moncler situation may be the perfect way to withstand the cold this season.









3) Smythson leather bound journal - I've always been a journal person, however with the internet age being what it is, blogging is the new journal! After seeing this leather bound 'perfect for a fashionista' journal, I may just have to revert back to the old traditional way of keeping account of my adventures!






2) Karl Lagerfeld stainless steel watch - From the man that can do no wrong, comes a watch that I think will be the cherry on top of the icing of the cake that is your outfit! 





1) Adrienne Landau X BryanBoy Mink Camera Strap - Last but not least, a piece from my favourite blogger, instagrammer, tweeter & oxygen breather, BryanBoy. This isn't a traditional piece, however when I saw it (via his own personal social media outlets), I knew it was something I not only wanted, but NEEDED.

So that's a wrap on the accessories edit! Drop me a comment or tweet me, but most importantly...

STAY FABULOUS,

I deserve new shoes!



“Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically & emotionally” – Christian Louboutin.



Ahh shoes, the envy of every fashion conscious soul on the planet. The source of much joy, happiness and eventually despair when the seams of our favourite pair of shoes become to undone. 
Boy were we in for a treat as Spring/Summer '14 gave us a whole army of beautifully designed shoes to really turn us a weird shade of greeny yellow (green with envy. yellow for excitement...you know it makes sense...)
Check out my favourites both on and off the runway!









1 - Zadig & Voltaire SS14
2 - Moncler Rouge SS14
3 - Valentino SS14
4 - Celine SS14
5 - Gucci Monk Shoes
6 - Balenciaga Ceintures
7 - Balenciaga Derby Shoes
8 - Converse X Maison Martin Margiela

Leave a comment and don't forget...you always deserve new shoes!

Stay fabulous

UPDATE

Hey y'all!

KARL.

So, I was casually browsing the internet one night and I came across possibly the best news that I heard all week...KARL LAGERFELD IS OPENING A STORE IN LONDON. The fashionista god himself, creative director of Chanel and Fendi, will open a store in under his eponymous fashion line 'Karl Lagerfeld' on the glamourous South Molten Street...which fortunately for me and unfortunately for my credit card, is situated right outside work!


Model Advice

As many of you who follow me on Twitter know, I am very passionate about models. Having worked in the past with them, you begin to develop a relationship with them and become very passionate about them, so whether by happy coincidence or a stroke of luck that the lovely people at Model Advice happened to stumble across my profile/blog, they contacted me and asked me to be a contributing blogger! I'm so excited to share some of my experiences and views on the modelling industry and work side-by-side with Model Advice!! Check out their profile and their  blog!
Stay fabulous!!

WARNING: Cuteness Overload

With the craziness and the brilliance that is the fashion industry, it takes something extra special to cause such a stir and nothing quite sets the fashion world off than a 'fashion baby'. The precious, well dressed infants are a rarity, but with all the A-List celebrity offsprings, there's sure to be an influx in the adorable department!



Aila Wang, the niece of American fashion designer Alexander Wang, has been causing a stir ever since she walked down the catwalk for his FW11 show in New York. She's a street-style favourite, having been seen in everything from custom-made Alexander Wang outfits to mini-Chanel bags.


Harper Seven - With a footballing legend and arguably the most handsome man in the world as a father, and an award-winning, internationally renowned fashion designer as a mother, it's no surprise that Harper Seven is destined for a career in fashion. She certainly doesn't need to gain approval from the Queen of Fashion, Anna Wintour, who managed to crack a smile as she sat next to her at her mothers 'Victoria Beckham SS14' show at New York Fashion Week. Who knows, maybe she'll follow in her mum's footsteps and become a designer, or maybe go down the path of her brother Romeo, who is part of Christopher Bailey's Burberry campaign.


Maison Martin Margiela sent an adorable 'lab-coat-esque white dressing gown whilst Alexander Wang sent a custom made leather dress.
Alber Elbaz of Lanvin sent a number of outfits, from cute skirts to dresses and Phoebe Philo of Céline sent a pair of crocodile skin pumps and not one, but 3 v-neck jumpers
Riccardo Tisci sent a signature black Givenchy tee bearing the Bambi motif.

North West - being just a few months old, she may just have the most envious wardrobe in the world. Both Kanye West & Kim Kardashian are no strangers to labels, in particular that of Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, who, amongst leading designers such as Alber Elbaz of Lanvin, Phoebe Philo of Céline, Maison Martin Margiela and Alexander Wang, sent custom made outfits to Kim & Kanye.

Has reading this left you feeling as jealous as I did whilst writing it? Probably not. But take salvage in the fact that when we all have our babies, we can dress them up in a number of cute outfits...that is after all, the whole purpose of having children right? So you can dress them up?

Keep in touch via Twitter and Instagram

Stay fabulous!
