Fishnets, flatforms, styling and a lovely day out at the Louboutin exhibition

I lied when I said I would be posting more after my exams I've been having too much fun at night time to allow time for posting waahhhh! But this will be a long post which makes up for that no? 

This is what I put on today, repping a cheeky bit of last nights make-up.The most worrying thing is, I wore something very similar to go out last night.
MESS. 

Denim Jacket : Ebay and DIY, Crop top : Topshop sale , Shorts : Wangler DIY , Bumbag : Vintage Moschino , Fishnets : Primark , Flatforms : Ebay , Necklaces : Borrowed from various individuals

I love my studded denim Jacket, some lovely drunk girls were raving over it last night in Dixie Chicken.
For some reason I look like I have a shiny gold tooth in this picture. I don't.


As I write I'm sat in bed with a hangover listening to Lecs Luther, calm and sexy stuff. Have a listen?


I had the pleasure of styling another shoot for my friend Hanna Hillier over at The Sheet on Saturday for Next Models. We had a great time, the model Sara Semic was great and a bit of a legend Hanna got some amazing shots (as always) and I just threw clothes on someone beautiful. Here's a couple of preview shots from the shoot:



I love how she works the double denim in the second picture, so much better than Britney and Justin circa 2001 haha! 

Also this week me and Jackie got all cultural and went to the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the design museum, needless today it was amazing

We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the exhibition but the lovely curator let me dick around by the entrance :)


Me and Jackie both agreed the best part of the exhibition was definitely the Louboutin X David Lynch fetish room. Some of the designs are pretty dark, I love the ones where the heels are too long for the shoe. The photography is amazing, I can imagine the stories behind them so vividly.


Here's a few pairs we wanted to steal from the main exhibition...see the theme occurring here


I just got a call and I have an Interview at Miss Selfridge Oxford Circus on Friday, I'm absolutely shitting myself.. any pointers guys? 

Anyway, here's my wishlist for this week :

  1. Boohoo bag : Reminds me of the Alexander Wang Marion bag which I LOVE!
  2. Tee and Cake London Map T-Shirt 
  3. River-Island Bikini: I LOVE this print, also the girly frills are cute.
  4. Miss Selfridge Shirt: Love the paisley print
  5. River-Island Crop top : I could probably NEVER  pull this off but I love the tackiness of it.
  6. Lavish-Alice shirt
  7. Romwe T shirt

If and when I get a job I am going to purchase ALL OF THESE THINGS.....

DIY body chain - cross earring - pink nails - New Mascara


This morning I woke up a bit of a diva, sent Rob (my boyfriend) to the shop for Shreddies in the rain then decided to stick huge long fake nails on top of my own short little stumps :) 
I used Collection 2000 Hot Looks fast dry in 34 - Hula Hoop as a base on top of Nailene full cover Oval nails.
Fancied a bit more than just candy pink so I whipped out some black nail varnish (by No. 7) and went to town :)


Ignore my misshapen witch fingers hahaha!

Last night, after spending a good three hours working in the library I made a couple of pieces of jewellery.
Whilst drooling over Zac Efron I managed to construct this dangly cross earring. It drapes right down to my shoulder and I don't think it's bad for a first try?
 The only thing I would have liked to do differently is to buy gold crosses as opposed to bronze ones. I really wanted to make the earring gold as opposed to silver but hey I'm skint so I just got the cheapest offered by ebay
I also managed to throw together this Body chain, pretty simple , using about 1.5m of two different types of chain :)  What do you think?


Just realised Orange have cut off my phone because I forgot to pay my bill, that's what I get for caring about the environment by scrapping paper bills . 
Also just accidentally called the police, the operator was not impressed when I told her I was calling Orange to pay my bill and my new nails were making this very difficult. Awwkkwarrrd.

Oh sorry if my writing is shit I am quite overwhelmed with the Welsh Rugby win !!!

SS12 TREND: Isabel Marant Wedge Trainers




These amazing Isobel Marant trainers have been seen everywhere at fashion week !
Whether or not these trainers are a micro-trend I'm not sure, but they are FRESSSSSSHHHHHHHH!
As a girl who loves her high tops these are a must have, casual street wear with  a fashion twist, although the £440 price tag takes them out of my price range. 

-COLD COMFORT-

The cool ones are sold out everywhere so I couldn't buy them even if I maxed out my overdraft YAY!

Marc Jacobs has also got in on this trend with these bad boys:



Not gonna lie I would sell my left hand for a pair of these... I'd save money on gloves.

After pining for half the morning over fresh kicks I cannot afford I was browsing the H&M website and came across these bad boys:



Not bad for £19.99

I'm thinking I'll style them like this:
Someone please hide my debit card from me I shouldn't be allowed invisible money!
Picked up some tings from the St Michaels Hospice charity shop yesterday, I'll blog all about it later
ttyl bitches.

Dudley O'Shaughnessy


I'm in love.

I have no dignity. YAY!

So I was home alone trying to figure out what to do till Real Housewives of Orange County comes on.. (small insight into my sad life there)
No but seriously, I love that show, they are rich but so boring and trashy and stupid it makes me feel so much better and normal on some level..
ANYWAY
My sister is at school, so nobody to take photos of me raiding my wardrobe.

Looks like it was just me and the mirror...

Put this on:

 DIY STUDDED CORSET TOP
Studs : Ebay
Corset : Forever 21

Look at me feckin nails !

WHAT      IS      THIS?
Nails: Nailene oval tips
Pink: Topshop - feisty
Black: Barry M - 47 Paint Black

Badass nails. 


I bought Nailene stick ons from eBay, even though living near Peckham means I have access to MANY cheap nail salons. Just goes to show how cheap I really am haha!  So I was very inspired by Rihanna's claw-like cat nails thought i'd try my own. Nice result I think, stayed on all night at Proud and I party HARD. 10/10 for Nailene.

Bank, beautiful, Spoons



So Back in October one of my best friends Hanna Hillier who is an amazing photographer  and generally crazy legend asked me to assist on a test shoot she did for Next models where she works. Of course I accepted. Ended up having a lush day preserving GiGi's modesty in public, being a one woman wind machine and approving Hanna's styling (not that she needed my approval). GiGi was such a babe, literally stunningly beautiful and we all had such a nice day followed by a burger in Spoons :) Here are some of the pictures courtesy of Hanna Hillier. Note to self : Don't ever stand next to a model YOU WILL LOOK CHUBBB!
