Stolen Girlfriends Club...interesting name?

2 weeks ago "my-wardrobe.com"'s newsletter sweeped its way into my inbox and occupied my mind for the rest of the afternoon. As I scrolled casually down the page admiring the new brands they wanted to show off to the world, a strangely beautiful bug like multicoloured shirt came into pan and I fell in love....Its not for everyone but I really adore it! I would keep this piece forever.A piece to be worn by itself, hair up in a bun and the work is done...LOVE LOVE LOVE...why can't I be rich and afford such beauty!

The new label is Stolen Girlfriends Club, creative surfer minds Marc, Dan and Luke collectively design ivogorating dresses and boy-shirts enviable to all those not wearing one!

The shirt is £240 and avilable at www.my-wardobe.com

Enjoy

Hunger....

A beautiful new creation from photographer and publisher, Rankin.

A new Bi-annual magazine has arrived with irony in the title..."Hunger" is released twice a year and the first winter issue is still on stands right now so grab a copy.

I hate to compare but for description wise only its a little similar to "Love" magazine in that its content is far more creative and arty and packed full of individual beauty and context rather than just whats going to be in fashion, who's at this event etc (although I love that too!) its another welcome change to visually stimulate the eyes...

This issue, released in November, interviews many different people in the public eye including Rhys Ifan, Michael Sheen, Ray Winstone, Plan B, Milla Jovovich, Ashley Walters, Kathy Burke, Scott Campbell, Kelis, Heidi Klum and Leonora Carrington.

My favourite feature (purely for fashion reasons) was Cheryl Coles'. The styling was understated but, in no other way can I explain it but cool. Her pale porcelain skin and dark lips are stunningly sharp but warm, I used to wear my hair in the same loose wet look curl, and the Moschino like calligraphy dress which I never thought would make a come back is now No.1 on my wish list. This D&G dress doesn't prove special merit in terms of shocking new design, it merely plays to memories of growing up wanting bright coloured Moschino jeans! And although I would never wear them now and I'm sort of glad I could never afford them (sorry but they're just not me) this D&G dress screams to me. In all honesty I can see that it wouldn't suit many and to be frank would look very cheap on some (sorry but true) BUT I know I could rock this!

The cut, colours, calligraphy and fit I love...I can't explain why I like it so much, you know me, when I am excited about something I am beyond words! The dress is available for £320 from Harvey Nicols.....oh how I can wish!

Wow...I'm trying this regime!

Thanks to Elle.com's newsletter Gunnar Peterson, trainer to Kim Kardashian has revealed the best way to loose weight but KEEP curves - A problem I worry about constantly - followed by looking in the mirror after every run saying "Does my bum look smaller?" and then wolfing down a dumpling if the answer is yes!!!

It actually makes alot of sense and squashes a gym myth about weights....its just a few tips to bear in mind which makes it simple and easy to follow!

Link below and I've copied it below for easy scrolling.....

Im definatley impressed by the BMR which has helped me to realise how much I should reduce my calories by and how to keep my curves and loose weight in all the right places...def one for the ladies who have never or will never be nor want to be a skinny minnie....

Can't beat a bit of a collage!

I ordered the boots....

They will finally be here tommorrow!

EXCITED much!!!!

And as I am such a saddo, I have made my imfamous little collage "me"'s to see how I could wear them with my staple piece...the pencil skirt! I have black, dark red and teal and teamed with the shoes I've added some items I already have and some I'd love to wear...think clashing galore and my eager want for wearing at least 2 armour rings at a time!!! The black is my least fave in picture format but on, I know it looks good!

Glitter...not the Mariah Carey kind

I love these...I found either the same or a similar pair a few weeks ago in a magazine (obviously can't remember which one now...TYPICAL!!!) but these beauts are £90 from Schuh and I love them for adding an edge to a simpler dress......<3 The Pair I found originally were £80 in the mag but you know mags, they are always wrong! I will keep searching!!!! Im pretty sure the pair I found had more of a green hue?

Its my birthday soon...

Its my birthday and i'll whine (as in dance) if I want to!

Finding a dress, or outfit of any kind these days is almost impossible for me, they are always too "samey" or cheap looking or way way WAY out of budget...yes, I do dream of one day owning something in Vogue, I'm talking multiple digits when I say out of budget!!! What can I say I'm fussy!!!

So for the past year or so I hav made of ALOT of my going out ensembles, or customised a classic little number...there is nothing better than when someone says;

"I love your ----- , where did you get it?"

Anywho, back to my original trail of thought, its my birthday soon and I have planned (and started) making a skirt to go with  my "old faithful" black top....great on the budget front and if all goes well it will look good...(fingers crossed) see what you can make out!

Get your needle out...in the best possible sense :s

A few of my customisations or complete creations...I'm no Chanel seamstress but I'll give it a go!ha ;)

One of my favourite dress ever! - was a long vintage dress with a flared hem, cut and sewn and boobtube added and wall-ah! LOVE!

A complete stich-up...it took me two attempts to make this...any-who no piccys of me in it, just one of my backside at Faraz's at the end of the night which I guessed no-one would like to see!!!haha

Not really too much of my creation, the cape I'm wearing is an A-mazing vintage petitcoat but has the smallest arms you will ever see, so I temporarily converted it into a cape for a wedding, instant coverage to remain demure!ha

Rihanna got me dreaming of colour blocking the day she rocked the pink crop and orange troos, another instance when I could'nt find what I wanted in the shops, so I literally wore fabric! Works for me....(Well, hopefully : s)

An oldie...a couple New Years back I went shopping with my friend Jenna to Cow, and found a really gordy dress, and here's me wearing it!!!haha With the help of my mom, we changed the skirt to angular shape rather the stiff floppy mess it was before and turned it from 80's trash to a piece I loved, not many would but thats my style all over, its marmite....

An classic white dress from ASOS I couldn't resist studding down the back, a copy from a black dress I did earlier last year...Don't mind the pics, my face looks awful!

A dress I customised for the stall but doesn't look great on me...candy colours creep up the back of the dress and back down the right arm....perfect for this seasons candy trends!

Love...

Take a glance at the Elie Saab perfume ad campaign, imfamous for her couture gowns perfect for the red carpet and any other glitterati occasion or in my case general housework, lounging round the house, and a trip to Nandos(I wish!!!)....this gown has got me lusting for A) an event worthy of its attendance & B) the money to afford such a beautiful item...the neckline and thigh scraping split is goddess-like <3

Enjoy
