Jaeger sale!!!



Okay so here's a more positive post... The Jaeger end of season sale starts this Monday, 6th June.

I normally have a bit of a freak out at sale time and can't even walk into a shop but this time I've decided to embrace the big S, well try to anyway.

Partly because I'm bored of my wardrobe and just got paid and partly because I'm going to IBIZA for the first time ever this year and therefore must have an 'Ibiza wardrobe' too. This will hopefully comprise of Melissa Odabash kaftans, Pistol Panties bikinis, some lovely Antik Batik bits and massive new fabulous sunglasses from I don't even know where yet - all purchased in the sales. Hmm. Will let you know how that goes... have already spotted a few Melissa pieces on The Outnet. But not in my size. Doh. But they might be in yours so check 'em out.

Anyway, the Jaeger sale starts Monday, and others will follow. Good purchases would be the so cute ric rac stripe dress down to £135 from £199 and the Chanel eqsue quilted shoulder bag now £99 from £199.

Happy shopping!

Not a nice post - sorry.


I don't usually like to stick up a not nice post but I felt I had to show you this pic of Katie Weissel/Vogel/Lola whatever she wants to call herself now... Just because it sums up everything I can't stand. Not so much Katie herself but:

1) FOOTBALL SHIRTS. Can. not. stand. these. Just about acceptable when worn by a professional footballer on a pitch (and yes I know she is at Soccer Six so is maybe playing football/has to wear it) but still I really detest them. I once went on a date with a boy who turned up wearing a Liverpool shirt and IT WAS BAD.

2) TRY HARDS. So she'll wear the football shirt but she won't wear the boots/trainers. Which I'd have thought were the more essential of the 'look'. So she's in DMs. And a headscarf. And sunglasses. Trying to hard love...

3) ATTENTION SEEKERS. See 2).

And yeah maybe 4) would be Katie herself. Soz. Will be more positive with next post I promise

This is why I need a small dog.



Moschino have created a capsule collection of darling pet accessories - with heart and bows and cute things like that on. But they're still cool and leather, not to feminine for little boy pups.
I love the bow collar - very reasonable at £64 I think you'll agree, and the heart stud brown leather leash is £96.
The range is available exclusively on yoox.com and all of the proceeds go to the Dog Search Foundation. That's what we like to hear.

Did Cheryl's LA wardrobe get her the sack?


Cheryl was a bit of a style icon when she left the UK (in a wag-ish way). 2009 she style was hot. It went slightly downhill last year - a bit back to her roots in glitzy glam dresses... less directional, not as cool designers etc...

Then she went to LA and WTF happened!? Did they make her use a new style team?! MASSIVE blown out hair in a not good way. Colour blocking taken to the extreme in the most unflattering shapes (because she's no longer a stick -which is a good thing - but she can't carry off those purple flares - she's not got a long lean model bod), wide leg jeans and a red leather jacket which looked like it was off a market stall - even thought it was probably ££££, or maybe it's just the way she wore it? And the polka dot dress, cute. But with the wedges it made her look stumpy - she should have gone for a cute classic black peeptoe Louboutin or something... so, did her wardrobe get her the sack?!

Well hopefully Cheryl will leave LA and her shocking LA style and come back to the UK, head held high, with a new amazingly cool wardrobe and re-join the UK X Factor. Welcome back Chezza!

Shoes glorious shoes




More shoes.
I think I'm having a shoe week - I keep seeing beautiful heels so fabulously bright, cool and high that I'll obviously fall over a lot whilst wearing but I can't help but want in my life...

One of my favourite London boutiques - Oxygen on Eastcastle Street (www.oxygenboutique.com) have just had a fresh delivery of amazing platforms and wedges from Jeffrey Campbell. I am literally in ♥ with the leopard print Lita heel £125. Guaranteed to make any outfit look cool.
The pink suede Foxy's are £105 and the darling, will go with anything, black Be Well wedges are £125.
Hope you like!

Nicola Roberts new shoes!





So apparently Girls Aloud lady turned fashionista Nicola Roberts has been designing some AMAZING shoes to wear when she launches herself as an uber cool solo star and approached young Brit shoe designer Atalanta Weller to collaborate with. That particular top secret shoe won't be available to buy BUT I always get v excited when I hear about a fabulous new shoe person so decided to have a look at the rest of Atlanta's collection. AND I LOVE IT!

The gladiator sandals are perfection (and I don't usually like a gladiator sandal!). The wedges are super high and somehow statuesque yet not to glam - wearable with everything I think. And I love the heels, pretty and feminine, super-high without being at ALL slaggy. Totally chic and now. Have a look at the rest of the collection on the designers website www.atalantaweller.com. And buy it in on www.youngbritishdesigners.com.

20% of AA swimwear! Yeah baby...


I know this makes 2 posts about American Apparel in a week but what can I say, I'm a fan.
And I needed to make you all aware that it's 20% off all swimwear from now until May 29th!

Pretty pictures


How lovely is the new Radley imagery? Totally dreamy, I just had to out it out there...

And the s/s collection is full of gorge bright colour pop bags and shoes (you should definitely check out the shoes - my favourites are the little lime Charlton boots). Fun but still sticking to the chic, sophisticated Radley style.

If you use a blackberry...


I don't and I'm gutted about that right now. Because if I did I'd be dressing it up in a leopard print Alexander McQueen blackberry case immediately. From £125 coming soon...

Dear McQueen accessories designers, please can you design one for the Iphone? Thanks!

Kiki McDonough


Last night I was lucky enough to be invited to a lovely evening at Kiki McDonough just off Sloane Square to view the new collections. SO MANY PRETTY JEWELLS!
I LOVE the classic crystal pendants (pic above) from the OPERA collection - just £3,500.00. Eek. But Ooohhh... at least I can use them in shoots. Whoop.

Don't fret there are some fabulous pieces available for less than £500 - slightly more affordable for the masses. You should check it out www.kiki.co.uk.
(Also, secret for you, they don't broadcast it but the Middleton sisters have been fans of Kiki's deisgns for years, sssshhhh)

Anyway it was a fab evening and we all had our nails painted by uber glam beauty company Cosmetics à la Carte. And palms read. Apparently I'm totally psychic. Will definitely be doing the lottery from now on. Then I can buy myself some fab jewells...
