Bright Young Things...

Hi Guys,

London- Selfridges Bright Young Things; A week long celebration at of all things fashion, and I am in love with this window created by Charlie Le Mindu, most probable owing to the over use of electric pink, but this window is for sure a show stopper! Love love love this! What are your thoughts?

Other designers displaying their work include OnOff designer Yang Du, Simone Rocha (daughter of John) and Shao Yen…amongst others!


Check out my link to Selfridges website for full collection of window displays which run until the 3rd of March 2011.

Dress of the Week- Tadashi Shoji

Kelly Osbourne's dress at the Annual Grammy Awards was my favourite dress! I am in love with this gorgeous Tadashi Shoji one-shoulder dress and Alexander McQueen shoes!

Tadashi Shoji recently revealed it's newest collection at New York Fashion Week. Tadashi Shoji's Fall 2011 collection, was inspired by the ancient moss gardens of the Far East, and I think this dress is a sprinkle of temptation for the Stunning collection as seen below, with the master of creation himself.

Chartreuse... Colour trend 2011

I'm in love with Chartreuse at the minute, an intimidating colour to wear but when done right can be a tasteful hue to prance around in! This rich sophisticated colour is a mixture of green and yellow and has made a gracious come back appearing on the Spring 2011 runway shows.

I recently purchased the below blouse from ASOS.COM to wear with my black sequin mini, and I think the rich colour compliments well with the black and the gold jewelery I matched with the outfit.

Makeup thought of the day...

"Be versatile and play around with your makeup, wear your lipsticks as a blush, dab a bit on the cheeks and blend, also try wearing your eye shadows as a lip colour... Gives a little edge on your normal look...!"

Happy Chinese New Year!

Pretty shoes, happy feet.

Ballet Pumps! I love mine... When I first started ballet, I visited London's Covent garden to have my ballet shoes fitted perfectly, I was surrounded by pretty little girls trotting around the store on Pointe, it really makes me wish I started ballet at a younger age... instead of 22...

Anyway...

So I guess it's that time of the year for us British folk, where we are questioned each morning with what to wear on or feet... "Is it boot weather? Shall I pull out the Uggs? Or maybe the ballet pumps?..." You end up wearing the pumps in the end and having wet soggy feet time you reach destination b, Classy... Not."

Is anyone else a fashion victim to Ballet pumps and thick socks? It's a NO NO Isn't it? It may keep your feet warm, but it stretches the dainty leather and they become baggy and shapeless; Spring comes, you pair your pumps with pretty little tea dress and your shoes; are now 3 sizes too big... But I carry on doing it... and I doubt I will ever learn!

So...I have my eye on the Chanel pumps; however I cannot justify buying such exquisite flats when I walk in a way that my poor shoes probably get dizzy, all because of the way I walk. Apart from my lust for all things Chanel, (How I do love Chanel) the high street do a tremendous selection of ballet pumps too, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Office, even Primark for throw away fashion, do some of the best pumps around, I have a pair in my wardrobe that are 100 functional with a pretty dress- It's the way you put things together, you can deceive the most sceptical eye.

French Sole and Pretty Ballerina are brilliant too, they have the prettiest pumps, in every colour and style, and I particularly love the style Henrietta by French Sole- toe cleavage seduction at it's best.

Tips when shopping for ballet pumps-

1) If you wear them regularly, (3 x week) invest in a good pair with a good sole and good leather in a classic colour.
2) Find the sole with the lowest/thinnest heel you can. - They look the chicest.
3) Toe cleavage is cute, but not too much, a little bit of toe seduction is plenty.
4) Make sure the toe isn't too rounded; this can make you look shorter and often makes the shoe look cheap.
