BLOGGER OF THE YEAR!!!





























So I was scrolling through a few websites and found the 'Clothes show Live' which is held in Birmingham, England every december. Its literally a giant fashion extravaganza that anyone can go to. They have lots of fashion shows, celebrities, model scouts, competitions and shopping. You get the jist. So i found that they were doing a competition to find the 'blogger of the year'. I was so excited because I've been to the clothes show a couple of times and thought i'd have a go at the comp because I started blogging in september and it just felt like a sign, you know? The winner gets anoounced at the show, and becomes the official blogger for the show, also getting work experience at 'yougo' which is a university based company ( Creates forums for uni kids to chat in , before they actually go to uni) So i decided to write about the 'henry Holland' and pretty Polly collaboration because i dont think its had a lot of publicity. The 5 finalists get annouced on the 27th november ( TOMORROW!!) So im keeping my fingers crossed! Will this be my small breakthrough into a cut throat industry??? Keep your ears to the ground :)


Btw ive posted some pics of the Henry Holland tights. £10!!

My personal faves are the mock stockings! Also ones that say 'wana party' on each calf but i cant find a pic!

Sorry, did Knitwear just get a little bit sexy???


SEQUINSSS!!!












Love the blue one! <<<<












eeekkk how gorge??







Flicking through magazines and fashion websites, I started to ask myself, since when was knitwear SEXY??? A couple of years ago knitwear meant one of your dads pullovers or that crazy red jumper with the little red robin from your kooky grandma. Knitwear designers are seriously picking their game up! I was scrolling through the knitwear section on ASOS and was so surprised! Now, ive always been an ardent fan of the old cardigan but the selection made me fall madly in love with beautiful applique jumpers! They even had sequins... SEQUINS!! I love it when an underreated item in your wardrobe suddenly becomes so fashionable, you want to shout and dance about it. This new found discovery has made me excited for the cold weather, and I know, us Brits are always moaning about cold weather, but with these new found beauties to cover my goose bumped arms, im not complaining!



Anyway, enough of the crazy talk, I've posted a few pictures to see what you think.


Tell me if your loving your new pearl buttoned cardigan or that jumper thats drenched in sequins :)
(All items found on ASOS, in knitwear section :) )



Tar Tar for now, my cable knitted friends :D xxxx

Not lost, just undiscovered.

Speech Debelle with Zane Lowe.
Mr Hudson- AMAZEEEEE in concert, also pretty hot :)


Ellie Goulding, one to watch.





A couple of days ago I went to a 'Mr.Hudson' gig in Manchester and absoloutly loved it! He's only just got really big, but i knew him from a couple of years ago when he brought his album out ' A tale of two cities'. His support act was Speech Debelle who won the 2009 Mercury award. He also had another support act who i ADORED! but cant remember their name and cant find them anywhere!! Its driving me crazy. Anyway I wanted to write this post because after looking for more 'gigs' to go to I discoverd a girl called 'Ellie Goulding'. I feel I have wasted some of my life by only just discovering her music! I watched her on 'Later with jools Holland' and loved her instantly.Her voice is fresh but vintage at the same time. Almost like a KT Tunstall mixed with lady GaGa and La Roux but 10 times better! She only has around 4 songs on youtube, but shes definitely worth a listen. Personal favourites are 'Under the sheets' and 'Starry eyed' oh and 'wished i'd stayed' which was produced by Frankmusik. I predict big things for her! Just remember her name :) Coz you will soon be hearing it everwhere.








Au revoir, Mon Cheries! xxxxxx

Remembrance Day.


Today on my blog I'd like to highlight the fact that it is Remembrance day. For past and present soldiers who have and are risking their lives to protect us, I would just like to say Thankyou.


Take up our quarral with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch;be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

Elle a Kate!











Oh my gosh! Just got an update from Elle on my facebook and was pleasantly surprised by the Kate Hudson cover! Its one of those where you just have to keep going back to look at it. She's changed her image from all american hometown girl to high fashion vixen! Woahh GO KATE! Reading through the article you'll find her talking about how shes lost weight for a new role and how its affecting her day to day life. I ve always liked Kate's look but just thought she was just another steretypical young, blonde, american, romantic comedy actress ( wow that took a while) But after reading, I've found a new liking for her!
I haven't been inspired by a cover for a while but I just love this one! But I cant quite put my finger on it! maybe its the ice cold elongated flick from her eye :)

Anyway hope your all well :)

See you later aligator ;)
