Congratulations Beyonce (I hate you)!

Beyonce is preggers!

There is proof women can have it all - Beyonce announced at the MTV awards that she is 3 months pregnant! I can happily admit I'M JEALOUS!! Not only has she got an amazing career as possibly the biggest artist in the world right now, she is beautiful and married to one of most eligible men in the world - ha and despite the title its actually quite hard to hate her, The Z's seem to have a fairly down to earth lifestyle and have managed to keep their private life to themselves! I'm sure that baby is gonna have an amazing life!!

And just to rub it all in these images may make you feel even more depressed she looks amazing and Jay Z looks beyond proud (so cute) - check out the youtube videos of Kanye jumping on Jay and slapping his back!

Ahh I wish I was in that inner circle of coolness!!

Anyway back to my glamorous life...

Driving me dotty...

I never thought I'd say this as dots have never suited me, but I am loving Who What Wear's newsletter, mainly because I am in love with Olivia's dress!!!

Obsessed

The entirity (well majority) of my spare time is consumed with finding my new obsession....Christian Louboutin Altadama python platforms, sold out everywhere as they are *coughs* not new on the scene...I gave up my search for the green, turqouise, OR orange Lanvin pumps from their Spring 2011 ad campaign (A ridiculously impossible task!!!)...I jus need a pair of python platforms in my life, and I won't settle for Topshop or even KG (they've gone downhill in the style stakes in my eyes)Most high street brands they look pretty but they hurt...I'd rather work my ass off (not literally I hope) and buy heels I am in love with...and these are pulling on my credit card strings....if I could find a pair for sale I would buy them!

Selfridges in Birmingham do have a similar pair currently in stock in a nude but they just aren't as oooohhh as these for me!

If you can help, comment away - but please no fakes, I couldn't do it! : (

The Candy Store...

On Sunday I took my first visit to The Candy Store (well overdue) and I am pleased to say it was everything I knew it would be. Jay and his team have done a great job, its fresh, uncluttered, trendy and an easy atmosphere to shop in. I am fussy cow when I'm shopping, I hate being asked if I need help as soon as my foots throught the door. The stafff were great, they left me to browse for a while and have a look round before offering their help, perfectly timed.

The stock diversity is great, they have many different brands and diffrent styles, from poppy neon colours, embellishmed tees to simple designs. Both internally and externally I love the design, as I said before there is'nt any clutter, but there are quirky fetures such as the customised trainers (loved them!) and a framed brand "gallery" over the chic sofa near the changing rooms (a feature I'v used in a restaurant design for the produce suppliers - looks great!)

I made my first and definatley not last purchase, a womens Jilted Royalty Paisley tee, which I've rocked already! When I paid for my item the staff were once again friendly and attentive and told me there will be more womens stock in soon, a point which I think is good to know as Elle-Phant, Frockstar and myself will be visiting again this Saturday! My next purchase is definatley a XL mens tee to rock with tights and vintage Doc Martins <3

Heres my tee...which I love love LOVE! (don't mind the bottomless nature - It was a hot day!)

And a few pics from the lookbook, as I fan of photography and tattoos I really liked the images in this and have taken a few snapshots of my faves (quality is'nt brilliant unfortunatley) but if they have any left I'd def grab one!

Get your arses down there - you won't regret it!
