JEFFERY CAMPBELL VS ALEXANDER MCQUEEN?

So after browsing Alexander Mcqueen's Spring Collection I couldn't help but peer over the slight resemblance of the jeffery campbells wedges in there, maybe a remake? surely not!, Alex Mcqueen has been regardly worldwide known for his unique rather creative shoe collection?....

Alex Mcqueen's posess a more feminine nature within the likes of pastels,whites, florals and on the rare occasion skulls and studds.


Maybe a sly steal figure from Mcqueen here?, this shape hit huge on the summer catwalk 2011-12, as wedges stepped into the limelight for the main season, the difference being Campbell offers a more individual styling to his collections, USA flags,studds, glitter,buckles,etc

Overall both being my top favourite designers I'll swear to love them no matter what collections they bring out!

VIBRANT VIEWS:AMERICAN APPAREL-WETLOOK LEGGINGS?


I recently purchased these wetlook leggings from the American Apparel site!
Since its nearly autumn the nights are starting to draw in and the temperatures decreasing I decided to make a secret shopping dash and came across these beauties!. So after a hasty delivery I couldnt wait to try them on and 'testwore' them on a shopping trip with the girls and an evening out with the boyfriend ..as you do!

Although with a hefty £36.00 pricetag American Apparel is currently flogging them at, the quality is moderately good however a little lacking in the material (a latex/polyester concoction!) and the stitchings are slightly off!. However, unexpectedly they kept my pin's as 'cozy as a cuppa' on a cold evening and are definately warmer than most jeans.. I wore mine with Jeffery Campbell heels,a baggy cardigan and a bandt'shirt - So comfy!.
Although you can get them in most highstreet stores such as primark,topshop and newlook if you'd rather save some pennies!
All in all they are sublimely comfy, (almost as comfy as pyjama's!) and jazz up most outfits - a worthwhile investment if you ask me! :)

Alexander Mcqueen Heel Collection

Have to throw in a bullet note for these beauties, being a ridiculous sucker for studded shoes, Alexander Mcqueen and Jeffery Campbell's I couldn't resist trying them on when one of the girls bought them in for dance practice!

At a 6inch heel their not only comfortable but extremely supportive,pleather with a studded forefront and goldplated metal zips,customised by Mcqueens Iconic skull symbol with a ribbed heelfront,and studbutton cuffs I shall definately be scouring the world wide web for these badboys as the start of the Winter Heel collection!
Alexander Mcqueen you brilliant man!

Mac Studio Fix Fluid :D

No need for concealer! :D
Thought I'd take a sly minute to update on this badboy, Being fairly pricey I 've only ever stuck to the eyeshadow collection and Lengthening Mascara, however after purchasing this I can honestly stick to my guns and confirm I shall be sticking to this beautiful potion!.

Considering most foundations from other brands are a similar price nowdays at £21.50 I found this to be a better quality foundation than most more expensive ones, although I think you'd need to wear it daily to get your full money's worth, its a thicker fluid than most but glides on lightly and gives a fuller looking coverage with anti shine if like me your prone to looking like you've just dipped your face in the sink!

As its a spf 15 you don't really have the extra franning about everymorning finding the sunscreen to wear underneath,although I wore the Matt finish moisturiser underneath, I also didn't feel the need to apply a concealer base since it took care of the imperfections whilst giving a rather cracking finish!

On conclusion its a rather splendid product if a little more pricey than most other brands, but i'll definately be buying again based on the sheer quality and impressive finish it provides! love this little beauty!

A day out! : Boardmasters and Bodmin :]






So I know I havent blogged in a while, being that I've been immensely busy with tour and other relevent shingles I thought I may take a wee second to update on the usual current state of life which recently has been pretty fabadillo if you ask me!

Apart from the obvious lack of summer this August, I took the time out to spend a day with my brother at the Newquay Boardmasters Festival, followed by a galivant around bodmin and the latter. For those who haven't been, Boardmasters is basically a beach festival consisting of Surfing,Skateboarding and Bmx and such, there's also a music festival and fairground which are both split into two,although probably not your cup of tea if your not keen on large crowds or boardsports.
This year thanks to promotions we were lucky enough to have a meet and greet with the Animal' Clothing brand's Professional Surfing team as well as the O'neil' brands. They're a real jolly bunch of people with the curly blonde locks and orange skin if you like that sort of chap!.

So after a cupplaa autographs and a starbucks pitstop, we galivanted down to bodmin,and had a diddle souvenior shop around the town centre,visited the famous jail 'a clink with a drink'  a tremendous amount of stairs,knooks and crankies and ended the day with lunch at Chapel an Gansblydhen a gorgeous converted chapel on the edge of town,which was quite ironic! :)

Rainy day's and cream tea's

Holla Willamino's!

As you may be aware I haven't blogged in what seem's like a decade, or probably is a decade...oops!. :3
Being away recently, I managed to fit in alot of thinking and planning,which can be quite a rarity in today's aspects, so one rainy summer's (a rather drab summer if you will!) day I decided I would no longer sit in a misery pit I would head down to the tearoom's and type up a little something.

However,being slapbang in the middle of a moor rather has its disadvantages, aside from lack of civilisation (although quite a plus for the anti social me!) and drab weather, until a fat raincloud obviously decided to offload itself within my location as I headed down towards the village,any normal person would run, alas not me, a 10 tonne handbag and laptop case isn't anyone's choice of avaliable running gear, so my morning's half acceptable appearance became a washed out mess upon entering the tearooms.
So consequently here I am...

Hope everyone's having a wonderful summer! Expect more from me soon! :)

Tudalooo!

Vibrant Views: The Bodyshop Strawberry Body Butter!

Holla Willomino's!

Just thought I'd scapple up a quick product review for you all before the Olympic opening ceremony starts ( Yes.even after ridiculous amout of advertising its had i'm still enthusiastic!).

Considering I didn't really have many plans for today I decided on a somewhat abrupt brainwave to head to my nearest Bodyshop store and have a little gander and at the new summer collections, needless to say i'm quite impressed!. The Bodyshop has always remained a firm favourite amongst my top 5 beauty stalls, and I've not once experienced a specific product that hasn't worked or caused any damage to my skin or body..I don't mean to say you should all rush off and clamber over each other to the nearest store expecting some sort of fantastic miracle product, I mean taking time to specifically observe the different products and reserving a moment to test or try each one carefully.

So whilst hovering about the shop I noticed a bunch of creamy coloured tubs stacked along a test counter, I tend to be attracted to things via pretty smells ( as any cosmetics loving girl would! ) and personally I found the Strawberry body butter to be the nicest... At £15.00 for a large tub its rather pricey to your average body butter, however there's a smaller 'handbag sized' tub avaliable for around £5.00.
Unlike other body butter' I've experienced I definately found this one to be of better quality and can be applied layer after layer without getting the sticking greasiness you can get with other butters..It's moisturising qualities are brilliant and leave your skin soft to touch, I can only fault the pricetag as being a little pricey however it's definately worth the money!.

If like me your looking for a decent smelling body butter for dry evenings I highly reccomend this type  ( what more can I say? it's great! ). I recieved a fair few compliments from people who liked it's smell , which lasts for around 4- 5 hours, it's a lovely thick textured butter at a great price and does a great job, I'll definately be piling in the tub's for more of this this summer for sure!
