Oh I just love her...

Everytime a picture of Rihanna sweeps the internet I look at every detail, from the amount and type or ings to the sunglasses, the necklace, which tattoos are showing, how much or little curl she has going on...everything...!!! I love her versatility....

Dream walk-in...

This time last year I had spent the past 2 months searching for an apartment, in various areas and of various sizes. My first bid was for a quaint (tiny!!!) 2 bed apartment for sub £500 per month, I thought it would be fine! Im sooooo glad I didn't get it!!! Around 3 weeks later I begrudgingly went to view an apartment out of my budget and moved in a week later!!! Everybody asked me why I would'nt consider 1 bed places, my response..."Im NOT having my clothes next to my head while I sleep any longer, they need to be breathe, to be seen, and to be on show!" I love a walk-in wardrobe and although mine is not upto the standard I would love it to be (purely as my place is rented) I always keep reference of those coveted looks I WILL one day be able to achieve!

2 Roads, 1 Destination - JNR & Enz

Finally...flowing through my headphones as I type, the highly anticipated mixtape from JNR & Enz of Inca Recordings - “2 Roads, 1 Destination.”

Opening with the infamous Don Williams quote;

“The road of life twists and turns, and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”

This quote sets the foundations for the combination of two artists and two sounds that merge into powerful perfection. Wordplay, personality, personal experience, feelings and one of this years biggest hits sampled, blend over multiple sounds - some a little grimey, some soulful, and some ard’ for the neck jolters!

My favourite tracks are Holla – Easily a hit in anybody’s eyes! Real talk over Claudia Jessie’s beautiful voice and an instrumental soulful beat!

Take Care – “ THE” sample!!! What every woman wants to hear...no more, no less.

Shutdown – Eeeeery dark beat, the chorus will make you whine!

Search through my past blogs and you will hear my belief in these two artists. Every mixtape released shows growth and strength in their sound. Their music progressively gets deeper, and their dedication is laid on the table with an ace high royal flush. JNR has also produced a number of the tracks proving his enviable talent. There can only be one outcome for them as artists and I for one will be there to listen every step of the way. Get behind UK artists and get in touch with them for copies!

Contact JNR & Enz on Twitter –

@JNR_5 & @enz_superfly

And the label Inca Recordings on @INCA_R for all updates & when the team will be in cities round the UK!

Twilight 4 - Breaking Dawn FINALLY!!!

One of the perils of being single is that you rarely have anyone to go to the cinema with as your friends either;

1) Do not like the same films as you or
2) Have boyfriends therefore have a date for the night it is released....gosh darnit!

So I pre-ordered the DVD being a fan from the very first film release and not a tag-a-long watching it after New Moon was released. I have always loved fantasy films especially vampires, always have always will...anyway enough Scarlet!

The last few scenes of Bella (I won't disclose too much) were so refreshing to the quite hard to look at exposure during the majority of the film. Being someone who isn't particularily comfortable with my natural skin colour, her pale luminous skin, jet black lashes and ironically blood red lips (and eyes *wink) made me wince with envy. I have to say its one of my deepest beauty desires, I have tried many a different product to get my skin to look flawless but it just doesn't work long term. I would love to be able to get the foundation right for one, and the foundation for the foundation - a good facial! (As advised and seen with my own eyes, Nicholas skin is A-mezing)

But for now, as I don't go out too much and have no mullah for the treatment I think is required the look below is a mere dream!

The pictures don't exactly do her justice - buy the DVD and see!

Tribal Nail Rocks

I'm very tempted by these tribal Nail Rock wraps available at ASOS, but as I still have 3 other packets sitting somewhat untouched I think I'll resist for my pockets sake! I just don't go ANYWHERE enough! The con of having your own place :(

Would be nice to have the ring finger highlighted between jet black glossy claws or minty green fresh pointers with the middle finger triballed up for maximum finger flippin!!! Orange, purple, pink, everything works with tribal clashes!

Enjoy

Carvela sprinkles...

Apart from a the heel (I can't say Im completely feeling it, it needs to be a little more refined, less New Look, sorry) I am really feeling these stilettos. I have favoured a platform "everything" since they came back in, and other than a timeless pair of Louboutin Pigalle's I just couldn't envisage myself in a pair...but these may change that. There is just something about them in the advertisement, maybe its the slim tanned legs in contrast to the cutesy but contrastasting sharp bowed point. I never know why I like certain items, I just do!?!

Below - See what I mean about the heel, little bit blah?

Assemble - Carvela £120.00 available at Kurt Geiger

Online & in store!

I think that Ellephant will laugh that rather than something way out of my price range I've noticed a white pair of stillettos, cliche? haha

J'adore Alexander McQueen, je mourrais si je pouvais aller à un des spectacles!

As I have mentioned time and time again, Alexander McQueen is my all time favourite designer, and although I have some very close contenders for that love, this label for me is the epitome of design.

Alexander McQueen - Autumn/Winter 2012-13, Ready-To-Wear, Paris

These particular dresses literally made me gasp...Amazing. I would have no problem what-so-ever wearing them ANYWHERE!

I have been extremeley lucky in the past to be able to go to a few LFW shows, including Matthew Williamson & one of Ellephants favourites, Vivienne Westwood. It would be my absolute dream to see my favourite label on the runway, even if I was so far at the back I had to stand on something or someone!ha So let it be known, I want to be invited...make a womans dream come true.

Grazia's Fashion Blogger of the year 2012...

Talking of Grazia...

On Friday I received a tweet from Nich "@"-ing her good friend Sheree Milli. Naturally I clicked on her twitter profile and found that she has a blog called Glitz and Grime.

As I have an average of around 50,000 things to think of in a day (no excuse) it actually took me till yesterday to have a looksy for myself...

A quick screen shot of her latest post - for a little feel!

You instantly get a feel for this Leeds born lass' style and interests. She has a broad interest in fashion and the fact that she recently won Grazia's Fashion Blogger of the year means others can clearly see this too! She blogs regularily, and about other subjects such as beauty, music and DIY styling. Sheree also posts links on her twitter account so get clicking people!

Browsin for eyes...

Eye makeup looks can be delicatley subtle to downright clownlike and the later seems to be on the runway recently...some looks are do-able but I'm just browsin for something colourless and vampish to go with a yellow dress, you may think thats boring and "done", but to be honest, I'm not bothered, after all you can't set something if you care for any one else opinions but your own (Note: this applies to fashion - most other aspects to life this does not apply, but some haha) Anywhoooo this is my fave "new" kinda vampish eyes...see the eyelash marks round the eyes, they look like extensions of the lash, and don't look too theatre, still very wearable *prunts off picture to take to make-up artist!

We all want #CAKE #CAKE #CAKE #CAKE #CAKE #CAKE #CAKE #CAKE

Ok so we all know I loves me a bit of Rihanna...

This Bahan loves herself a bit of London me thinks, and although I would love for her to love Birmingham more I don't think we quite have as many intriguing shops to entise her...not that thats all she's about, but for most women that the hook,line & sinker! As soon as Birmingham (hopefully) has more to offer on the boutique, bewildering and bespoke front then maybe, just maybe, will I give Robyn a call and offer to take her out on the town..maybe a nice afternoon shopping, grab a bite to eat, and then a few drinks, hahaha yeah right...we wouldn't just have a few drinks! haha

Anyway out of the dreamworld where Rihanna is my friend, and asks me to be part of her styling entourage...(would love it!) Heres a few pics of the icons ensembles while she has been in London....I love every single one, some just parts and others in entirety....
